members of the public; and
WHEREAS, following the public hearing on March 17, 2026, the City Council determined

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. General Plan Consistency. The proposed Project site is currently designated as
Commercial in the City's 2035 General Plan. The General Plan designates the Commercial land use
category for the development of a wide range of commercial uses, including neighborhood -serving
stores and convenience centers, regional commercial centers, and commercial recreation. Sites with
this designation may be developed with stand-alone commercial use, two or more commercial uses,
or mixed uses. The proposal includes approximately 71,400 square feet of commercial space divided
between six buildings, which include a grocery store anchor tenant, a drive through building, and
four multi -tenant shops buildings on an 8.5-acre site. These uses are consistent with, and will
implement what the General Plan's Commercial designation envisions for this site. The proposed
project is consistent with policies, goals or programs which promote the buffers and transitions
between low- and high -intensity land uses, siting of high -density projects near regional shopping
centers and commmercial areas and provides for concentration of commercial uses in appropriate
locations near transportation corridors.
Section 2. Approval. The Zone Change of 8.5 gross acres from Special Development
(EV/SD) District of the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan to General Commercial (C-3) District
located on the north side of West Lugonia Avenue, east of Tennessee Street (APNs 0167-171-16-
0000, 0167-171-11-0000, and 0167-171-12-0000), as more particularly shown on the map attached
hereto as Exhibit "A," is hereby approved.
Section 3. Effective Date. The Mayor shall sign this ordinance and the City Clerk shall
certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause it, or a summary of it, to be published once
in a newspaper of general circulation within the City, and thereafter, this ordinance shall take effect
in accordance with law. /�
