Redlands City Council advances citywide ban on new distribution warehouses

The Redlands City Council introduced an ordinance banning new warehouses over 50,000 sq ft or with more than five truck docks citywide, while allowing existing facilities to remain and request height increases up to zoning limits with conditional permits and energy audits. Provisions for additional truck docks and economic feasibility studies were removed. The ordinance aims to address public health concerns and reduce truck traffic and emissions.
