challenging project they tackled. Ms. MacDuff added they have continued to receive updates
about the ongoing downtown parking study.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CC_February 21, 2023

Ordinance No. 2955 Warehouse Projects Development & Operating Standards
Mayor Tejeda declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Brian Foote,
Planning Manager of Development Services, for a summary of Ordinance No. 2955 for
Ordinance Text Amendment No. 365 to amend Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) of the Redlands
Municipal Code to establish new development standards and operating standards for
warehouse development projects within the City of Redlands. The proposed ordinance would
require a Conditional Use Permit for new warehouse development projects in the Commercial
Manufacturing (C-M), Light Industrial (M-1), General Industrial (M-2), and Industrial (I-P)
zones.
The Planning Commission began reviewing the proposed draft development standards on July
26, 2022 and reviewed the revised standards on December 13, 2022. After further discussion
and refinement, the final draft development standards were presented to the Planning
Commission on January 24, 2023, with the Commission adopting a resolution recommending
approval of the new standards. Five categories of development standards were identified and
included: Site Location Requirements, Screening and Buffering From Adjacent Uses, Traffic
Patterns and Sign Requirements, Sustainable Energy, and Operation and Construction, and the
Code amendment requires a CUP for new warehouses. The proposal was consistent with
numerous policies in the 2035 General Plan.
As public comment, Toni Momberger urged the Council to end the proliferation of
warehouses in the City and instead consider the public's health and quality of life, naming only
a few of the negative impacts of warehouses, such as increased air pollution and congestion,
unstable jobs with low wages and the town's character would be forever altered. Bill
Blankenship of NAOP Inland Empire, representing the logistics industry, stated the proposed
ordinance provided for the most stringent policies he had encountered, and he worried this
could hurt smaller logistics companies. Ana Gonzalez, Executive Director of the Center for
Community Action and Environmental Justice, asked the Council to table the item and
consider adding even stricter standards. No written comments were received. The Mayor
closed the public hearing.
Council Members raised questions about enforcement, warehouse applications currently in the
queue, how much land was even left to develop given the one -mile radius of the freeway, and
the merits of considering warehouses as non -permitted uses. Council Members Davis and
Guzman -Lowery were concerned about the impact on air quality and suggested the City
should do more to tighten up the standards and seek additional experts to guide the policy.
City Attorney Abich Garcia recommended that in order for the Council to consider making
warehouses a non -permitted use, more time for legal review would be necessary.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Paul Barich, seconded by Council Member Jenna
Guzman -Lowery, the City Council unanimously agreed, by roll call vote, to continue Ordinance
No. 2955, to a future date uncertain; and directed staff to research the possibility of making
warehousing an unpermitted use in the City.

Appeal of Planning Commission's Decision - Warehouse Development
Mayor Tejeda declared the meeting open as a public hearing and Council Member Saucedo
recused himself on the basis that he was a member of the Planning Commission at the time the
original decision was made by the Commission. Mayor Tejeda called on Brian Foote,
Planning Manager of Development Services, to provide details of an Appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision regarding entitlements for warehouse development located at 1980
West Park Avenue, Redlands, Appellant Lozeau Drury, LLP. The Project proposes to
construct a new warehouse building totaling 48,079 square feet (to include 42,579 square feet
of warehouse space and 5,500 square feet of office space) and related site improvements
including parking lot, driveways, landscape, lighting, walls, and utility connections, at a vacant
2.56-acre lot located at 1980 West Park Avenue, at the northeast corner of West Park Avenue
and New Jersey Street. The Project Applicant, represented by Mark Stanson, spoke about the
company expected to occupy the site and their plans to bring plenty of jobs to the area, without
much traffic. On behalf of Appellant Lozeau Drury, LLP and SAFER, Adam Frankel, objected
to the decision to exempt the Project from review under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Guidelines. He cited the exemption was inapplicable and it was their assertion
that since the Project was not exempt from CEQA, an initial study must be prepared to
determine the appropriate level of CEQA review required. With no further comments, Mayor
Tejeda closed the public hearing.
Council Members offered their perspectives through a series of questions and discussion.
Council Members Davis and Guzman -Lowery were uncomfortable with the timing of this
matter, up against the previous agenda item reviewing warehouse development
standards. Mayor Tejeda and Mayor Pro Tem Barich supported the proposed use as
appropriate. Development Services Director Desatnik reminded the Council the vote before
them tonight was to uphold or deny the Appeal, not to approve or deny the Project. City
Manager Duggan added that Council would have to take action and grant the Appeal in order
to sustain it. At 8:29 P.M., Mayor Tejeda called for a five-minute recess to allow staff time to
review the City's Municipal Code. The meeting reconvened at 8:35 P.M., with City Attorney
Garcia announcing that unless the City Council granted the Appeal, the Planning
Commission's ruling would stand. She clarified that if the Council chose to take "No Action"
on the Appeal, the result would be the same, providing for the Planning Commission's ruling
to stand.
On motion of Council Member Denise Davis, seconded by Mayor Eddie Tejeda, the City
Council agreed, by roll call vote, to take no action on the Appeal of the Planning Commission's
approval of Commission Review and Approval No. 949, the adoption of the Socio-Economic
Cost/Benefit Study prepared for the project, and the recommendation for Street Vacation No.

South Mountain Water Company Shares Sales
Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris reviewed the recommendation to
authorize the City Manager or his designee to solicit purchase offers and negotiate terms for
the sale(s) of all or a portion of its 911 South Mountain Water Company (SMWC) shares
owned by the City of Redlands. It was no longer feasible to continue holding on to shares that
we don't use and provide no revenue. The plan proposes to first negotiate with the City's two
non -potable water customers currently receiving SMWC water before discussing sale terms
with other potential buyers located within the Yucaipa groundwater basin. Agreements
regarding the sales of the City's SMWC shares will be scheduled for City Council approval
and consideration at future City Council meetings. As public comment, Andy Hoder asked if
the City stood to make money from potential sales. Director Harris added that sales would be
based on fair market value.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Paul
Barich, the City Council unanimously authorized, by roll call vote, the City Manager or his
designee to solicit purchase offers and negotiate terms for the sale(s) of South Mountain Water
Company shares owned by the City of Redlands.

Applied LNG Technologies Agreement Amendment
Assistant City Manager Boatman provided background of an Amendment to the Agreement
with Applied LNG Technologies, LLC for an increase of the Initial Term cost. In January
2023, the SoCal Index was published at a rate 503% higher than the previous month. Due to
the increase in costs, the per gallon rate for customers of the City's RLNG/CNG fuel island
was increased on January 5, 2023, from $2.36 per gallon to $5.95 per gallon. This
unprecedented increase requires the City to amend the agreement with Applied LNG
Technologies, LLC to increase the not -to -exceed amount and modify the purchase order.

On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Paul

New Safety Hall Facility Design & Construction Management Services
Assistant City Manager Boatman reviewed a Professional Services Agreement with Holt
Architects, Inc. for design and construction management services of the City's new Safety Hall
Facility for an amount not to exceed $2,235,000. Staff advertised a Request for Qualifications
for the Development of a Public Safety Facility and after conducting an analysis of all the
submittals, Holt Architects, Inc., was selected as the most highly qualified firm, based on their
demonstrated competence and professional qualifications deemed necessary for the
satisfactory performance of the services required. He introduced Matt Acton, Project Architect
at Holt Architecture, who presented a thorough report of the company, including the team's
responsive and collaborative approach, overall project experience and experience with key
aspects such as evidence holding, emergency communications, real-time crime center and
structural retrofitting. Director Boatman stated that building a safety hall from the ground up
would be more expensive than the City's approach to repurposing an existing building.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Paul
Barich, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of a
Professional Services Agreement with Holt Architects, Inc. for the design and construction
management of the City's Safety Hall Facility is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines; approved the
