Development of Proposed Self -Storage Facility
Mayor Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Contract
Planner Emily Elliott for details of a proposed self -storage facility development on a
6.34-acre property located on the south side of Naples Avenue between Wabash Avenue
and Jasper Avenue. The Applicant, Madison Capital Group, is proposing to construct a

contain a total of 835 storage units, a 700 square -foot leasing office, and related site
improvements including parking lot, walls and fences, landscape, lighting, and utility
connections on a 6.34-acre parcel. Adam Lentz, of Madison Capital Group, briefly
introduced his company and highlighted a few key components of this project.
Mayor Pro Tern Tejeda pointed out this site was adjacent to an existing RV storage
facility, and he thought the use was appropriate. Council Member Guzman -Lowery stated
she was not a huge fan of storage units in general and would prefer the site be dedicated as
a park or green space, but she was not opposed to the use. With no further comments,
Mayor Barich closed the public hearing.

Ordinance No. 2946 Prima Facie Speed Limits
Mayor Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Municipal
Utilities and Engineering Director Harris to provide details of Ordinance No. 2946
amending Chapter 10.24 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to the establishment of
prima facie speed limits on various streets throughout the City. The surveys are completed
at seven to fourteen year intervals and are necessary for Redlands Police Depaitiiient
Officers to issue citations for speed limit violations when electronic speed measuring
equipment is used. The surveys determine the 85th percentile speed of free -flowing traffic
using actual measured vehicle speeds within a street corridor. Director Harris addressed
AB43 and how the new law affects the 85th percentile methodology which has historically
been used to determine the posted speed limits. He acknowledged there has been a great
deal of discussion regarding the 85th percentile methodology, but until AB43 takes full
effect in June 2024, it is the law we are currently forced to live under.
CC_November 15, 2022
Page 8
As public comment, Eric Shamp stated the 85th percentile methodology was
fundamentally flawed, bypassed the process to include stakeholder participation, and he
suggested the Council reject the survey tonight and perform a new survey to meet the
mobility needs of all residents. Jane Honeycutt was very worried about the 45mph limit
recently posted on Elizabeth Street, which she found to be simply not safe due to the
narrow and windy nature of the street. She added that Kimberly Elementary School backs
up to the street and there are limited sidewalks. Cassie MacDuff stated that, as a member
of the Traffic and Parking Commission, she and other commissioners were very concerned
with the survey's speed limit recommendations. She was opposed to the methodology
which allows for speeders to set speed limits and she requested the Council perform a new
survey to establish safer and more reasonable limits. Council and staff weighed the various
options before them and after a lengthy discussion, Council Members agreed to approve
the survey tonight, with the recommendation to perform another survey in June 2024 once
the last piece of AB43 takes effect. With no further comments, Mayor Barich closed the
public hearing.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Jenna
Guzman -Lowery, the City Council unanimously introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance
No. 2946 amending Chapter 10.24 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to the
establishment of prima facie speed limits on various streets throughout the City of
Redlands; and determined that adoption of the ordinance is exempt from environmental
review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act.

Ordinance No. 2952 City Procurement Business Preference Program
Council Member Gallagher requested the Council consider establishing a business
preference program for City procurement. Ordinance No. 2952 proposes to include an 8%
local preference applicable to businesses operating within the City for procurement of
supplies, materials, equipment and specialized goods. The ordinance would provide for a
2% preference for County of San Bernardino businesses for procurement of supplies,
materials, equipment and specialized goods and provides a four-year sunset provision for

local preference that generates sales tax dollars, would be reinstated on January 1, 2027.
