Setzer / The Ranch
OVERVIEW
The Setzer property, processing through Placer County under the planning name, The Ranch is a 220+ acre property located in the Dry Creek Community in southwestern Placer County. The property is the last large undeveloped parcel under single ownership in this portion of the County. Westpark engaged with the family to manage and process the property through the complex entitlement process to obtain a General Plan Amendment, Community Plan Amendment, Rezone and EIR. In addition, Westpark processed the wetland permits through the Placer County Conservation Plan recently approved by the state and federal regulatory agencies granting permitting responsibility to the County.
Recognizing the community’s sensitivity to growth, Westpark engaged in extensive public outreach. Westpark’s objective in all of its projects is to meet with concerned neighbors and public interest groups to solicit their input in project design and implementation. Westpark submitted its land development application to Placer County and then returned to the local Municipal Advisory Committee on three occasions to present revisions to the original proposal. When faced with continued concern by the community Westpark approached key stakeholders in the community to solicit their input in response to their concerns. A revised plan was developed and presented to the community that represented a smaller project with a more sensitive interface to the existing community.
Westpark then completed the entitlement process and gained the Board of Supervisors approval in 2024. Westpark also prepared the Phase 1 improvement plans that included 178 lots, enabling the property to be sold in December 2025. Risewell Homes then started construction in early 2026 and has rebranded the community as Bridlewood Ranch. The first homes are expected in 2027.
