🚚 Full recap of the Redlands City Council's 5-0 vote Tuesday night to move forward with a ban on new warehouses.

Why it matters: The proposed ban would not only restrict the development of new warehouses on three available spaces but also stop property owners from tearing down smaller buildings in any part of the city to construct larger warehouse facilities.

Recap of the meeting here ⤵️

The proposed ban would halt development on the three remaining eligible parcels and block the assembling of properties to build larger warehouse facilities.

From watercolor classes at the Flores Senior Center to workshops at the Redlands Art Association, Sullivan has shared her passion widely, even teaching on Zoom during the pandemic to students across the country.

Her latest exhibit, featuring a wide body of work, is now on display at the Redlands Art Association Gallery from September 27 to October 24.

🖌️ Stop by the gallery at 215 E. State St. to experience her work in person!

Residents push back on Yucaipa warehouse approval⁠

A group of Redlands and Yucaipa residents has launched a campaign to overturn the City Council’s 4–1 vote approving the Pacific Oaks Commerce Center — a 2 million-square-foot warehouse project adjacent to Live Oak Canyon.⁠

Organizers say they need to raise $50,000 by the end of this week to hire professional circulators and gather about 4,700 voter signatures required for a referendum on the November ballot.⁠

Supporters of the project say it’s a long-term investment in Yucaipa’s financial health. Opponents argue it will bring thousands of diesel trucks through the canyon, worsening traffic, pollution, and threatening open space.⁠

👉 Read more about the referendum effort below:

Residents are raising $50,000 for a referendum to overturn an ordinance approved by the Yucaipa City Council that paves the way for a 2 million-square-foot warehouse off Live Oak Canyon Road.
