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.
