COMMUNICATIONS
2025 National Community Survey (NCS) Results Presentation
Public Information Officer Carl Baker introduced Grace Arneson, Senior Survey Associate with
Polco, who detailed the 2025 National Community Survey (NCS) results. She discussed the method
and process of collecting the survey data and Polco's benchmarking database, and offered a summary
of conclusions: 1) Most residents enjoy a high quality of life in Redlands; 2) Residents value
multiple aspects of the City governance in Redlands; 3) Most residents perceive Redlands as a safe
community; 4) The economy is valued by residents while affordability presents ongoing concerns; 5)
Residents rate the natural environment positively while identifying areas for growth; and 6)
Residents rate mobility as a key community asset.
As public comment, Dennis Bell said the number of respondents (308) was hardly significant in
comparison to the City's population, and he thought the survey was a waste of taxpayer money.
Council Members raised questions and offered their perspective regarding the results. Council
Member Tejeda pointed out that the City's public safety units have continued to provide response
times above the national average. Council Member Barich was proud of the City's efforts to address
homelessness and was pleased that respondents considered the community very safe. Council
Member Davis was encouraged that the survey showed an increased satisfaction with public
information services, and she gave a shout-out to the work being done with the City's social media
pages. Mayor Pro Tem Shaw was curious about the feedback regarding yard waste pickup, and
finally, Mayor Saucedo listed four areas of significant increases in positive feedback, including the
quality of city services, overall confidence in public government, government transparency, and
emergency services.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Ordinance No. 2993 Accessory Dwelling Units
Mayor Saucedo declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on City Planner Brian
Foote for a report on Ordinance No. 2993 (Ordinance Text Amendment No. 370), to update the
development standards and design regulations contained in Redlands Municipal Code Chapter
18.156, Article VII, pertaining to the construction of accessory dwelling units. The Planning
Commission reviewed the draft ordinance in a public hearing held on October 14, 2025, and
unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance. The Commission
discussed various aspects of the development standards, and recommended maintaining the current
maximum allowable size of 1,200 square feet for an accessory dwelling unit in the city's Zoning
Regulations. Ordinance No. 2993 will update the City's zoning regulations to align with current State
law and implement Program No. 1.6-3 of the City’s certified 2021-2029 Housing Element. The
revised regulations are intended to help facilitate more Accessory Dwelling Unit ("ADU")
production by making the permitting process easier, faster, and more affordable for developers or
homeowners who wish to build an ADU.
As public comment, Jasmin Hancock, a local designer, said in her professional opinion, the
ordinance was written fairly well, but she requested a revision to the language in the section
concerning height restrictions, and she suggested the language defining the minimum allowable
square footage be aligned with the state standard, defined as "at least 800 square feet". Bruce
Laycook supported the proposed ordinance as it would stimulate housing development and increase
the overall housing supply, by expanding opportunities for the construction of smaller dwelling units.
There were no written comments received. Mr. Foote responded to Council Member's questions
regarding second-story additions which could impact adjacent properties. He stressed that state law
obligates the City to adopt and apply only objective design standards. It was agreed that a revised
ordinance incorporating Council Member comments be brought back for consideration on December
16, 2025.

proposed ordinance to update the development standards and design regulations contained in Redlands
Municipal Code Chapter 18.156, Article VII, pertaining to the construction of accessory dwelling
units.

Resolution No. 8731 Land Use Entitlements Cajon Street
Mayor Saucedo declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on City Planner Brian
Foote for a review of Resolution No. 8731 for approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 20792 to merge
two parcels and create eight residential condominium airspace units; Conditional Use Permit No.
1201; Commission Review and Approval No. 972; and a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study
prepared for the proposed project as required by Measure "U." The development is located on two
vacant parcels at 516 Cajon Street (APNs: 0173-043-15-0000 and 0173-043-16-0000) in the
Administrative & Professional Office (A-P) District.
Representing the Applicant, Jonathan Tanios noted that they proactively addressed every request and
incorporated necessary modifications throughout the entire design and approval process. Their desire
was to be good neighbors, and they look forward to bringing this vibrant housing development to the
area.
As public comment, Chris Bordne said that squeezing eight more condos with 20 parking spaces
designed to use the alley as primary access would greatly stress the flow of traffic already
experienced in the alley. He worried about the proximity of Kingsbury Elementary School and how
the alley traffic would impact walkability and public safety. Adriana Gonzales requested the Council
deny the project because she said it was not in compliance with the standards set out in Chapters 6, 7
and 8 of the Historic Architectural Design Guidelines. Three letters of written comment opposed the
development based on concerns that the project is incompatible with the historical character of the
district, that the increased usage of the alley, and adding 20 additional cars, will reduce the quality of
life in the area, and that the building height and massing of lots did not align with the neighborhood.
With no further comments, Mayor Saucedo closed the public hearing. Council Members thanked the
Applicant for making all the necessary revisions to the project. Their discussions focused on the
alley and whether it could accommodate an additional 20 vehicles. Council Member Tejeda thought
the alley was unsuitable as the only access point and instead preferred access off Cajon Street.
Director Desatnik clarified that this alley conforms with the standard width of 20 feet and the
dimension is consistent with other service alleys throughout the city that have proven to be
functionally adequate.
On motion of Mayor Mario Saucedo, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council
determined, by roll call vote, that adoption of Resolution No. 8731 is not subject to environmental
review pursuant to Sections 15315 and 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act; and
adopted Resolution No. 8731 for approval of the following land use entitlements for the development
of two vacant parcels located at 516 Cajon Street (APNs: 0173-043-15-0000 and
0173-043-16-0000) in the Administrative & Professional Office (A-P) District; Approval of Tentative
Tract Map No. 20792; Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 1201; Approval of Commission

NEW BUSINESS
Pioneer Avenue from Texas Street to Furlow Drive Approved Design Reconsideration
Development Services Director Desatnik briefly provided background on Council Member Tejeda's
request to reconsider the approved design of Pioneer Avenue, from Texas Street to Furlow Drive. A
portion of the approved alignment for Pioneer Avenue includes a median intended to preserve the
existing Deodar Cedar trees along the north side of the street. Councilmember Tejeda has expressed
interest in modifying the alignment due to concerns that the median may impede traffic flow along
the corridor and because the trees appear unsightly. The design of the new cross-section was driven
by two objectives: the need to widen this section of Texas to four lanes to improve traffic flow
through the intersection of Texas and Pioneer, and the desire to preserve the existing Deodar Cedar
trees along the north side of Pioneer Avenue. Because the southern half of Pioneer Avenue is already
improved to its ultimate alignment, the widening would need to occur on the north side of the
street. In 2015, community feedback favored preserving the trees, as they contribute to the aesthetics
of Pioneer Avenue and provide potential nesting habitat for local and migratory birds.
Council Member Tejeda explained that his intent in bringing this item to the Council was to address
safety concerns and traffic flow on Pioneer Avenue. He supports protecting trees, but raised
questions about the health of the remaining Deodar trees. Erik Reeves, the City’s staff arborist,
addressed the Council explaining he recently conducted a Level 1 Visual Tree Risk Assessment of
the Deodar trees and found that the four trees located on the north side of Pioneer, between Texas
Street and Castlegate Avenue, are in poor to moderate condition. Deodar trees of this size would
require a huge median to accommodate root structures.
From a staff perspective, eliminating the median and removing the Deodar trees would provide the
benefit of reducing the amount of right-of-way that must be acquired and lower the overall project
cost. It would also allow the widening of Pioneer Avenue to be completed more efficiently and
within a shorter timeframe. The project would still require some right-of-way acquisition, but
considerably less than if the trees were to be preserved in a median.
As public comment, several people, including, Germaine Miles, Michael Paisner, Valerie Taber,
Jennifer Maravillas, Eddie DeLaTorre, Dr. Julia Lenhardt, Roberto Ceja, and Andre Coyazo spoke
passionately about preserving the historically significant northside trees. They urged the Council to
develop a rehabilitation plan and protect these iconic trees, which are environmentally beneficial and
offer valuable shade. Andy Hoder pointed out that preserving trees may not always be the best
approach, and he said these particular trees appeared to be struggling. He added that traffic flow in
the area is an issue, and he recommended the Deodar trees be removed, and new trees be planted to
replace them.
A brief recess was taken at 8:10 p.m. with the meeting reconvening at 8:15 p.m.
Council Members considered the value of preserving and maintaining trees,
raised liability concerns if trees are not properly maintained, and questioned whether Measure I
CC_November 18, 2025

raised liability concerns if trees are not properly maintained, and questioned whether Measure I
funding might be available. Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris stated that Measure I
funding was about a decade away, while City Manager Duggan added that staff would have to
review budgeting concerns regarding this project's viability. Mayor Saucedo mentioned that many
trees have been planted on the northside during a number of Community Days of Service. It was
agreed that efforts to rehabilitate the trees would be an important step to make them healthier and
ultimately preserve them. Traffic flow would remain as is while the rehabilitation work is
ongoing. Mayor Saucedo requested to see a cost analysis for the right-of-way acquisition and the
cost for other options. No voting action was taken on this item.
Ordinance No. 2994 Amending Title 15 Buildings and Construction
Development Services Director Desatnik presented Ordinance No. 2994, amending Title 15
(Buildings and Construction), by adopting by reference the 2025 California Building Code, 2025

2025 California Plumbing Code, 2025 California Green Building Standards Code, 2025 California
Energy Code, 2025 California Historical Building Code, and the 2025 California Existing Building
Code, and making amendments related thereto.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City
Council unanimously introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance No. 2994, amending Title 15 (Buildings
and Construction), by adopting by reference the 2025 California Building Code, 2025 California
Residential Code, 2025 California Electrical Code, 2025 California Mechanical Code, 2025 California

amendments related thereto. The public hearing to consider a recommendation to the City Council is
scheduled for December 2, 2025 at 6:00pm.
Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
Prohibition of New Warehouses and Logistics Distribution Centers
Planning Manager Brian Foote summarized the recommendation from the Redlands Planning
Commission to initiate an Ordinance Text Amendment to Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) of the
Redlands Municipal Code to prohibit new warehouses and logistics distribution centers (as defined in
Article XII of Chapter 18.156 of Title 18) in all zoning districts and specific plans within the City of
Redlands. On October 4, 2025, the Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend that the City
Council consider a code amendment to the Zoning Regulations (Title 18 of the Redlands Municipal
Code) to prohibit new warehouses and logistics distribution centers in all zoning districts and specific
plans within the City of Redlands, as well as other code amendments to address additional potential
development scenarios related to warehouse uses. Their recommendations include:
Allow existing warehouses to remain as legal, conforming uses
Allow existing warehouses to be rebuilt if destroyed by fire, or other natural disaster, only to
the same square footage and building height
Prohibit the construction of new warehouses citywide (in all zoning districts and specific plan
districts)
Prohibit the assemblage of parcels that may contain existing industrial or warehouse buildings
for the purpose of building new warehouses"

As public comment, eight people, including Germain Miles, Dick Corneille and Linda Hamilton, of
ANCA, Valerie Taber, Michael Paisner, Jennifer Maravillas, Bruce Laycook, and Roberto Ceja
strongly voiced their support of the Planning Commission's recommendations to ban all future
warehouses in the City. They cited public health, environmental impacts, and increased greenhouse
gas emissions as the primary reasons to establish the ban. Additionally, it was suggested the City
needed more affordable housing, not more warehouses. Andy Hoder was not advocating for more
warehouses but asked some hard questions about what to do with the properties. If not a warehouse,
what then?
Council Members each offered their thoughts and perspectives, with general agreement and support
of banning future warehouses in the City. It was pointed out that Council Members do have an
obligation to protect the City from litigation, and they must base their decisions on facts, not
opinions.
On motion of Council Member Denise Davis, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the City
Council unanimously directed staff, by roll call vote, to prepare a draft ordinance for the Planning
Commission's consideration to accomplish the following:
Allow existing warehouses to remain as legal, conforming uses.
Allow existing warehouses to be rebuilt if destroyed by fire, or other natural disaster, only to the
same square footage and building height.
Prohibit the construction of new warehouses citywide (in all zoning districts and specific plan
districts).
Prohibit the assemblage of parcels that may contain existing industrial or warehouse buildings
for the purpose of building new warehouses."

Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycle 12 Grant Acceptance
Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department Director Harris described the grant award of a
$900,000 Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycle 12 grant, approval of a $730,281
construction contract with Sierra Pacific Electrical Contracting to install a new traffic signal at the
Cypress Avenue/Cajon Street intersection, Project No. 253008, HSIPSL-5083 (032). The proposed
project will replace the existing stop signs with four (4) new mast-arm traffic signal poles equipped
with signal heads, pedestrian signal heads, luminaires, conduit, a signal cabinet/controller, a signal
service cabinet, and video radar detection. The project will also include new striping and concrete
improvements to enhance safety and traffic efficiency at the intersection. As public comment, Bruce
Laycook requested the City install a 4-way stop sign on Cypress between Center Street and Cajon,
and consider installing additional traffic-calming measures, as well.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the City
Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that acceptance of a $900,000 Highway Safety
Improvement Program Cycle 12 grant and approval of a construction contract and construction of a
new traffic signal at the Cypress Avenue/Cajon Street intersection, Project No. 253008, HSIPSL-5083
(032), are categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the State's
guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; accepted a $900,000 California
Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycle 12 grant award;

Ordinance No. 2987 Integrated Solid Waste Management/Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal
Reduction
Facilities and Community Services Department Director Crocker highlighted the key points of
Ordinance No. 2987, amending Chapter 13.64 (Integrated Solid Waste Management) and 13.67
(Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction) of the Redlands Municipal Code Relating to
Organic Waste. The purpose of this ordinance amendment is to update and clarify the City’s solid
waste regulations in order to ensure consistency, and support compliance with state mandates related
to organic waste disposal. Specifically, the proposed ordinance incorporates the term “organic waste”
throughout Chapter 13.64 to align with Chapter 13.67 and with current state definitions and
requirements under SB 1383. In doing so, the ordinance enhances clarity and supports the City’s
commitment to regulatory compliance and sustainable waste practices. Further, the ordinance
removes all existing exemptions from participation in the green waste program, making organic
waste collection mandatory for all customers unless otherwise noted. This will help to ensure
uniformity throughout the City.
On motion of Council Member Paul Barich, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City
Council unanimously introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance No. 2987 of the City of Redlands
Amending Chapter 13.64 (Integrated Solid Waste Management) and 13.67 (Mandatory Organic
Waste Disposal Reduction) of the Redlands Municipal Code Relating to Organic Waste.
