Maps, details released for Placer Vineyards project
One of the largest development projects in South Placer could be getting closer to breaking ground.
The Placer County Planning Commission voted 6-0 on June 8 to approve infrastructure plans and seven large lot maps for the first phase of the Placer Vineyards project, a 5,230-acre development that could take 30 to 40 years to be fully built out.
The first phase of the project, according to a May 31 report from the county’s Design Review Committee, will cover 1,530 acres owned by a consortium of private developers.
“They’re looking at it from a standpoint of what the market will bear and what the market needs right now,” said Jack Duran, District 1 representative for the Placer County Board of Supervisors.
Duran continued, “I think the way that they’ve done it over these years (that the project has been in early stages of development) is actually quite smart from the standpoint of being able to take a look and develop this as things (change) over time.”
