PUBLIC COMMENT
Mall Site Facing Foreclosure - Dennis Bell commented on the sad state of the mall site and thought the City missed an opportunity to purchase it when it went into bankruptcy for the first time several years ago, and he saw it as failed leadership when the parking lot across from the Frontier building was sold.
Aggressive Tow Trucks - Michael Paisner raised concerns about recent activity of aggressive tow trucks patrolling the downtown area and towing cars. He suggested the City be proactive in ensuring the signage downtown is clearly marked and is visible and easy to understand.
Autism Acceptance Month - Maia Pawooskar requested the City consider declaring the month of April 2025 as National Autism Acceptance Month.
SCAQMD Rules 1111 & 1121 - Gregory Brittain thought the pending rules proposed by SCAQMD would be outrageously expensive and a huge burden on the public. If implemented, he was worried the grid capacity would be taxed and unable to handle the power needs of the community in the future.

Library Board Annual Report
Board President William Hatfield provided the annual report of the Library Board of Trustees with an update of accomplishments and activities over the past year. Some highlights included increased circulation, especially in the e-Library program, the increasing popularity of a wide range of entertainment and educational programming, Smiley Live!, a series of monthly musical concerts that offer a wide range of musical styles. The adult literacy program has continued to grow and have a positive impact, garnering state funding and recognition. Smiley Heritage Tours showcase Redlands cultural sites for all RUSD fourth graders. The policy of doing away with late fees has proven to be a success. The Redlands Museum is on the verge of becoming a reality, with an anticipated opening sometime this fall. Mr. Hatfield did point out the 127-year-old library building does face certain infrastructure needs. They were grateful the boiler system was replaced last year in October, with staff thrilled to have heat again, and they looked forward to seeing work begin soon on the lower-level elevator. He thanked the City for their support. Council Members extended their sincere appreciation of the Board's dedication towards fulfilling the Smiley Brother's vision.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 12 of 349
Measure T Citizens' Oversight Committee Annual Report
Vice Chairman Scott Welsh presented the annual report of the Measure T Citizens' Oversight Committee for FY 2024. The Committee provides oversight of Measure T sales tax revenue, and the Report covered the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. During FY 2024, the City received a total of $20,194,305 in Measure T sales tax. This was roughly $241,305 higher than the budget estimate provided at mid-biennium (November 2023). This overperformance of a little more than 1% indicates a stable local economy. In FY 2023, sales tax exceeded budgeted figures by over 10%. Moving forward, future budgets are more likely to reflect conservative estimates for sales tax revenues as the City remains braced for economic uncertainty.
Measure T enabled investment into enhancing and restoring certain “quality of life” amenities and services for the community. Some examples of this include: Animal Shelter Improvements, Parks Master Plan, Homelessness Solutions, the Library, Park Infrastructure, improvements to the Joslyn Senior Center, and recreational and downtown programs.
Measure T remains essential for funding city services and infrastructure projects and the local revenue from Measure T, combined with economic growth, helps maintain the services and infrastructure that Redlands residents rely on. The Committee recognizes that Measure T reflects commitment from Redlands residents and believes the funds are being used as intended. The Members recommended they be given an opportunity to offer input during the budgetary process before the budget is adopted, as this will allow the Committee to perform their oversight duties more effectively.
Other Committee Members present included Chairwoman Toni Momberger, Ruth Cook, Ed Millican and Don Young. Ms. Momberger announced her goodbyes and explained that, due to council member redistricting, she no longer lives in District 4. She said it was her honor to serve on the committee and thanked her colleagues, City staff and the Council Members for their trust.
Resolution No. 8663 Policy for Proclamations, Certificates, & Awards Mayor Saucedo opened the discussion relating to Resolution No. 8663, establishing a policy for proclamations, certificates, and awards. The City routinely issues awards, certificates, and proclamations to recognize outstanding service or achievements by organizations, individuals, or important community events, as well as cultural celebrations. He pointed out that currently, there is no formal policy establishing guidelines for the issuance of proclamations, certificates, and awards, nor is there a policy of formal procedures for requesting recognition by the City Council.
The general provisions of the proposed policy include: 1) All forms of recognition are signed solely by the Mayor on behalf of the entire City Council. 2) The Mayor, or in the Mayor’s absence the Mayor Pro Tempore, will present recognitions on behalf of the City Council.
Alternatively, the Mayor may designate a Council Member or city official to present a recognition. 3) Commissioners/Board Members/Committee members may not issue any official recognition on behalf of the City or in their official capacity as commissioners or members of any board or committee. 4) Recognition may only be issued where there is a clear nexus or connection to the community of Redlands. Recognitions, when applicable, will only be presented at one City Council meeting. 5) Recognition will not be issued for CC_March 18, 2025

campaigns or events contrary to city policy, matters of politics, or for personal ideological or religious beliefs.
As public comment, Michael Paisner, Valerie Taber, David Armstrong, Roux Whitmore, and Julie Houston raised questions regarding the proposed policy, suggesting the process for submitting a request to issue a proclamation was not clear, and the proposal lacked clearly defined terms. Terminology, they said, was vague and uncertain, included language such as "matter of politics" and "personal ideological or religious belief". There was concern the mayor was assigned too much power in making the final decisions, as all requests would be filtered through the mayor, and they wondered why this policy was even necessary, when the current process appeared to be working fine.
Council Members discussed the merits of the proposed policy at length. Mayor Saucedo stated that much of what was included in the proposal was currently in practice and the policy would provide guidelines which would be helpful for staff. Council Member Davis was concerned about the language in Sections 2 and 3, which seemed to limit council members' ability to participate in the process and make presentations during a meeting. She thought the terms "nexus to Redlands" and "personal ideological" were vague, and she asked for clarity. Council Member Barich recommended the item be tabled so that staff could revise certain sections. Overall, Council Member Tejeda supported the policy. Mayor Pro Tem Shaw pushed his colleagues to find common ground and suggested that, by amending certain verbiage in Sections 2 and 3, a compromise could be had. Council Members ultimately agreed to revise Section 2.b and Section 3.d of the exhibit to Resolution No. 8663.
A motion was made by Council Member Tejeda to adopt Resolution No. 8663 in its current form. Motion failed with no second.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tem Marc Shaw, seconded by Mayor Mario Saucedo, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, to amend the Exhibit to Resolution No. 8663, to include the following revisions: Section 2 language changed to: Section 2.b "The sponsoring Council Member will present recognitions on behalf of the City Council, except when absent, the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem will perform the duties." ; and Section 3 language changed to: Section 3.d "Requests for proclamations must be made to the City Manager's office."

SCAQMD Proposed Rule 1111 & Rule 1121
Mayor Pro Tem Shaw reviewed his request for Council to consider taking action regarding South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) Proposed Amended Rule 1111 (Reduction of NOx Emissions from Natural Gas-Fired Furnaces) and Proposed Amended Rule 1121 (Reduction of NOx Emissions from Residential-Type, Natural Gas-Fired Water Heaters). Representing SCAQMD, Michael Krause reported on the recent revisions made to Rule 1111 and Rule 1121 and attempted to dispel any misunderstandings that existed. He CC_March 18, 2025
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 14 of 349
said the rules will allow consumers to choose between gas units and zero-emission units and manufacturers can continue to offer consumers gas units or zero-emission units. He added the proposed rules are expected to achieve a reduction of 6 tons per day of NOx emissions from residential building appliances. These proposals have been in development for over two years, during which time, SCAQMD has held more than 100 stakeholder meetings. Mr.
Krause clarified that the target deadlines for transitioning are directed at the manufacturers and not at the consumer.
As public comment, Dale Broome and Rachel Eugley were opposed to SCAQMD's proposed rules, even with the revised language. Their concerns focused on grid reliability, the lack of consumer options, and they thought the premise of the rules was based on false science. In support of the proposed rules, Michael Paisner, Jennifer Cardenas, of the Sierra Club, Yarli Olazabal and Andrea, of PCEJ spoke to the need to push for programs that can reduce NOx emissions, stating the threat of climate change is real. SCAQMD efforts are vital for the overall well-being of the community and will bring about cleaner air.
Council Member Barich raised questions about the true value and benefit of the proposed rules. Council Member Davis stated that because this region has the worst air pollution in the nation, action must be taken, and she requested to see the most recent revisions in order to make an informed decision. Mayor Pro Tem Shaw agreed to table the matter and possibly revise the letter.
On motion of Council Member Paul Barich, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, the City Council unanimously agreed, by roll call vote, to table the matter in order to provide additional time to review the revised versions of SCAQMD Proposed Rule 1111 and Proposed Rule 1121.

Mid-Year General Fund Budget Review for Fiscal Year 2025 Management Services/Finance Director Garcia gave a broad overview of the Mid-Year General Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. She explained the review provided an opportunity to evaluate the City’s financial performance in the current fiscal year relative to the Adopted FY 2025 Budget, using actual results from the first seven months of FY 2025.
The presentation reviewed the recommendations, analyzed the financial outcomes from FY 2024, assessed the City’s current fiscal standing, and considered the broader economic conditions and other key factors that may influence the General Fund going forward.
Based on this assessment, the City Manager and staff recommended targeted, additional appropriations for FY 2025 to fund projects/expenses that 1) Increase revenue, 2) Represent critical department needs, 3) Increase risk management reserves. She detailed the recommendations, with funds going towards projects such as the 6th Street Parking Structure Repairs, Fire Department command and support vehicles, Police Department in-car radio replacements, and expanding Recreation contract classes (100% revenue offset). She listed several significant capital projects for FY 2025, including the construction of Fire Station 262 retrofit and enhancements, the initiation of a design and construction management services agreement for the new Safety Hall, and funding for various improvements to public infrastructure.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 15 of 349
Several financial risks could impact the City's budget, particularly as they are not currently included in the financial forecast. These risks include future MOU negotiations in FY 2026, the Class and Compensation Study, construction contingencies for Safety Hall, costs associated with the operation of the Museum of Redlands, the construction & staffing of new fire stations, and the Step Up In Redlands Supportive Housing Project. While the fiscal impact of these factors remains uncertain, they have the potential to disrupt the structural balance of the budget. Given these uncertainties, careful monitoring and strategic financial planning will be essential to mitigate potential long-term budgetary impacts. While the City's budget remains resilient, these external variables warrant continued monitoring to ensure fiscal sustainability and adaptability in the face of evolving economic conditions.
She announced the next major budget discussions would occur in May and June 2025, when the City Council will receive the City Manager’s recommendations for potential revisions or adjustments to the adopted biennial budget for FY 2025 and 2026. As public comment, Dennis Bell voiced various concerns, including why the state's grant funding for the Museum had not been released yet. He was worried the Museum would become an albatross hanging over the taxpayer. He wasn't convinced that repair work on the 6th Street Parking Structure was money well spent, he questioned why facility maintenance was not addressed in the budget, and he urged the City for more transparency in the budgeting process. Council Members thanked Director Garcia and her staff for their hard work.
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously agreed, by roll call vote, to approve additional appropriations and adjustments as outlined in Attachment A-1: FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Adjustments for the General Fund; waived the addition to the four (4) General Fund Reserve categories per Resolution No. 7346 in favor of other, more targeted adjustments; and moved to receive and file this report.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution No. 8669 TVSP Amending Sign Regulations
Mayor Saucedo declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Senior Planner Kevin Beery for a report on Resolution No. 8669 for Amendment No. 2 to the Transit Villages Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 65) to update the sign regulations within the Transit Villages Specific Plan. The updated regulations include the following items: 1) Require uniform sign programs for multi-tenant developments that meet specific criteria; 2) Allow freestanding multi-tenant signs in unified centers under defined conditions; 3) Remove a restriction on building sign location; 4) Remove certain restrictions and review procedures applying to murals; and 5) Other minor text edits to improve clarity and consistency.
The Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) (Specific Plan No. 65) was adopted on October 22, 2022, and the accompanying Environmental Impact Report was also certified and adopted on October 22, 2022. The entire TVSP area covers approximately 947 acres (or 1.5 square miles). The proposed amendment focuses on changes to sign regulations which would apply throughout the specific plan area. Additionally, the proposed text amendment includes minor edits to Chapter 4 to improve clarity and consistency. These edits do not change existing regulations. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 28, 2025, CC_March 18, 2025
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 16 of 349
and recommended that the City Council approve the proposed amendment with no modifications.
No written comments were received and with no further discussion, Mayor Saucedo closed the public hearing. Mr. Beery pointed out a typo was found in the Resolution and Section 4.b should be removed. The paragraph to be removed reads as: 4.b. "In order to avoid sign-clutter, signage shall only be allowed on facades that have building entrances." On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the City Council unanimously adopted, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8669, approving Amendment No. 2 to the Transit Villages Specific Plan, with an amendment to remove Section 4-b from Resolution No. 8669; and determined that the proposal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

MOTION(S):
I move to authorize the issuance of a proclamation declaring April 25, 2025, as Arbor Day in the City of Redlands.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize issuance of the proclamation for calendar year 2025 recognizing the celebration of Arbor Day in the City of Redlands.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands has enjoyed a long-term standing as a Tree City USA. The award is bestowed annually in recognition of work completed by the City during the previous calendar year. Tree City USA cities are recognized for their urban forestry aesthetics, enhanced air quality, positive public image, and heightened civic pride through urban forestry management.
Each year, the City declares its continued dedication to National Arbor Day by approving a proclamation recognizing the celebration of this day with the planting of trees at locations recommended by the Street Tree Committee and approved by the Facilities and Community Services Department.
The City Council's approval of the proclamation for the annual celebration of National Arbor Day is a prerequisite to the City being recognized by the National Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA. This year, 2025, will mark the thirtieth year that the National Arbor Day Foundation will bestow the City of Redlands with the designation of Tree City USA.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8672 - A request for a one-year Extension of Time to the expiration date of Commission Review & Approval No. 931, with associated entitlements, to merge two parcels into one single parcel for the construction of a 40,415 square-foot hotel with 90 guest rooms, four stories high, and related on-site improvements including parking lot, landscaping, lighting, and utilities on a
1.52-acre site. The project site is located on the south side of West Colton Avenue at Columbia Street and 719 N. Eureka Street (APN’s: 0169-155-05-0000 and 0169-142-07-0000) in the Village General (VG) District of the Transit Villages Specific Plan (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 8672 to approve a one-year extension of time for Commission Review & Approval No. 931 and associated entitlements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8672 to approve a one-year extension of time for Commission Review & Approval No. 931, with associated entitlements, for the construction of one hotel building totaling 40,415 square-feet in size and related site improvements located on the south side of West Colton Avenue at Columbia Street and 719 N. Eureka Street (APN’s:
0169-155-05-0000 and 0169-142-07-0000).
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 42 of 349
DISCUSSION:
The proposed project includes the construction of a 40,415 square foot hotel with 90 guest rooms, four stories high, and related on-site improvements including parking lot, landscaping, lighting, and utilities on a 1.52-acre site. The project site is located on the south side of West Colton Avenue at Columbia Street and 719 N. Eureka Street (APN’s: 0169-155-05-0000 and 0169-142-07-0000). The project was approved under the regulations of the Highway Commercial (C-4) District and has since then been designated within the Village General (TVSP/VG) District of the Transit Villages Specific Plan. See Attachment A (Location Map), Attachment B (Project Plans), and Attachment C (Planning Commission Staff Report).
The Redlands Planning Commission approved Commission Review & Approval No. 931 and Lot Line Adjustment No. 665 on April 12, 2022, and the Conditions of Approval were included in Resolution No. 1573 (see Attachment D). The City Council approved the first Extension of Time on March 19, 2024, which extended the expiration date to April 12, 2025, unless a grading or building permit has been issued to commence construction of the project, or another extension of time is granted. The applicant currently has a grading permit under review in Plan Check, but permits are not expected to be issued and construction is not expected to begin prior to April 12, 2025.
Approval of the time extension will make the new expiration date for this project April 12, 2026. No changes to the project are proposed, and the original Conditions of Approval remain applicable for the project. The approval of a one-year time extension will provide additional time for the new property owner to obtain project financing as well as continue processing the grading plans currently in the plan check process and prepare the building plans submittal.
In accordance with RMC Section 18.12.130, a Commission Review & Approval permit shall expire two (2) years from the date of approval unless the holder of the permit obtains a permit and begins construction or obtains an extension of time. The City Council may grant a one-year extension of time, not to exceed a total number of three (3) extensions. This is the applicant’s second request for a time extension.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may deny the request, which would result in the expiration of Commission Review & Approval No. 931 and associated entitlements. This would require the applicant to resubmit an entirely new development application.

C) Commission Review and Approval
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 63 of 349
C) Commission Review and Approval
Although the proposed building and use is permitted within the zone, new construction over 500 square-feet is subject to review by the Planning Commission per Redlands Municipal Code (RMC) Chapter 18.12 and requires Commission Review and Approval.
Elevation and Design: The proposed exterior treatment, architecture, and colors are the authorized design for the Tru Hotel by Hilton brand. The proposal includes the standard colors for the brand including Sherwin Williams Black Magic, White Haze, Tattletale (Gray Color), and accent colors in blue and cream. The finish materials for the hotel will include fiber cement panels with a smooth finish painted with blue and cream colors, porcelain tile, Franklin Stone veneer units in monument white, and Belden brick in Sherwood Gray Velvet.
The proposed design provides articulation and variation through the incorporation of exterior wall offsets, varied roofline, architectural metal eyebrows at the windows located on the south side (facing the Interstate 10), and aluminum windows with thermal broken frame and insulated glazing. The entrance to the hotel is located towards the northwestern portion of the building and additional design elements are provided including a portico and Franklin Stone veneer units at the base of the building.
Parking and Circulation: The proposed project complies with the on-site parking requirements, as well as the landscaping requirements within the parking lot. Parking for this use is based on 1.1 spaces per sleeping unit. A total of 90 guest rooms require 99 parking spaces, and 99 parking spaces are provided (including 18 compact spaces, 2 parallel parking spaces, and 79 standard size spaces). Access to the project site will be provided via a two driveways along West Colton Avenue and one secondary access driveway along North Eureka Street. On-site circulation is provided and vehicles are able to adequately circulate throughout the site via the 26-foot wide drive aisles. Condition No. 23 requires appropriate screening of the front parking lot along Colton Avenue through hedge-type landscape, a low decorative wall, berm, or a combination of methods to provide a minimum 3'0" high screening.
Landscaping: Perimeter landscaping is being proposed throughout the project site (see Attachment F).
The landscaping plan indicates that 16% (or 5,267 square-feet) will be provided within the parking lot, which exceeds the minimum 7% landscaping requirement for the parking lot. The landscaping plan also indicates that 18% (or 11,995 square-feet) of landscaping has been provided throughout the site, and approximately 62% of the trees provided are evergreen trees. The proposed landscaping will be drought-tolerant and will be required to adhere to the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance and code requirements. The proposed landscaping will consist of a combination of trees, shrub areas, and accent plants. The landscape plan consists of a total of 72 trees and a wide variety of 5-gallon shrub mixes that will be planted throughout the site. The proposed trees include the Bottle tree (36-inch box and 15-gallon), Palo Verde Desert Museum (24-inch box and 15-gallon), Majestic Beauty Fruitless Olive (36-inch box and 24-inch box), Maiden Hair Tree (24-inch box), and the Pink Trumpet Tree (24-inch box).
Projects Adjacent to Freeways: RMC Section 18.168.220 requires a minimum 25-foot landscape setback for projects that are adjacent to the freeway. The subject property is located approximately 57 feet from the Interstate 10 freeway pavement, and an existing slope contains several Palm trees. In addition, the proposed hotel has an approximately 37 foot setback from the rear property line, and that area includes outdoor amenities including landscaping, covered patio, trellis, outdoor seating, and paved walkway between the rear property line and the proposed building.
Fences & Walls: Decorative walls 6 feet high with CMU block are proposed for the side property lines (beginning 10 feet back from the public sidewalk), adjacent to the neighboring single-family residences.
Within the first 10 feet of the public sidewalk, the walls would be 3 feet high maximum. On the rear (south) property line along the freeway, the proposed CMU block wall will range from 6 feet to 9 feet high Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 64 of 349
(due to the grade differences adjacent to the freeway right-of-way).
Lighting & Gate: Perimeter site lighting will be provided throughout the site for pedestrian and vehicle safety (see Attachment G). The proposed lighting will be directed and shielded to reflect away from adjoining properties and streets. A gate will be placed at the Eureka Street driveway at the rear of the site for access control and security at night (see Attachment G).
Passenger Loading Area: Space is available at the front entrance for two vehicles and passenger and luggage loading/unloading. Given the site constraints and configuration of the property, the applicant has indicated that a more prominent porto-cochere or carport across the drive aisle is not possible. However, a small portico is provided for the passenger drop-off area located at the front entrance. Small commercial vehicles can also use the loading zone for deliveries.
Noise Study: A Noise Impact Study was prepared for the proposed project to evaluate the potential noise impacts for the proposed project (see Attachment H). The proposal will be consistent with the General Plan’s noise compatibility criteria. Traffic noise along the I-10 freeway is the main source of ambient (existing) noise impacting the project site. According to the Noise Study, the ambient noise level will not significantly affect the usefulness of the outdoor patio and fire pit areas through the incorporation of walls ranging from 6 feet to 9’6” in height. Condition No. 27 requires verification of adequate noise reduction for the outdoor patio area (adjacent to the freeway) upon completion of construction and prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
The project has been designed and conditioned to meet the City’s noise ordinance. The proposed project will include the following design features to reduce interior noise by: incorporating Sound Transmission Class (STC) 36 or higher rated windows for the West, South, and East facades; incorporating STC 30 or higher for the North façade; and the mechanical systems shall ensure that interior noise levels of 45 dBA are achieved. Overall, the proposed project complies with the General Plan Noise Regulations and the proposed hotel will not produce noise levels that exceed the ambient conditions.
D) Architectural Review Criteria
The Planning Commission reviews the project to determine whether the proposed development is in conformity with RMC Section 18.12.170, Architectural Review Criteria (see Attachment I – Table of Architectural Guidelines), and if approval of the site plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. It is intended that design submittals be compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and that they be of comparable composition, materials, textures and colors. Conformance is evaluated based on the following seven criteria.
1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another, as well as open spaces and topography.
The proposed site layout, building orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another are physically suitable in size and shape to support the development. The site will have access from W.
Colton Avenue and N. Eureka Street, and the proposed projects meets all applicable development standards including on-site parking, loading, landscape, lighting, and related site improvements.
2. Harmonious relationship of building with existing and proposed adjoining developments.
The project site is surrounded by retail and commercial development to the north, east, and west. There are three nonconforming single-family residences on the west side, and one on the east side of the project site. The parcel located on Colton Avenue at Columbia street is currently vacant, and the parcel located at 719 N. Eureka Street currently has a single-family residence that will be demolished.
The project site is located within the Highway Commercial (C-4) District and the proposed use is compatible with the existing zoning designation as well as the surrounding retail, commercial, and service-related uses.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 65 of 349
3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass of building, as well as other structures such as walls, screens, towers or signs, and effective concealment of all mechanical equipment.
The proposed project meets all applicable development standards of the Highway Commercial (C-4) District including floor-area ratio, setbacks, building height, and lot coverage. The proposed building will have a height of approximately 42 feet to the roofline and approximately 50 feet to the highest architectural feature point of the building. The overall mass of the building is a result of the floor plan, is a typical design for a hotel use, and is articulated with vertical and horizontal wall plane changes. All roof-mounted mechanical equipment will be screened from view from the public right-of-way (including adjacent Interstate-10 freeway) through the incorporation of parapet walls.
4. Harmony of construction materials and colors in relation to all exterior elevations.
The proposed architectural design of the building includes the standards features and colors for the Tru Hotel by Hilton brand. The proposed design includes a white, black, gray and a combination of accent colors, as well as popouts and vertical and horizontal articulation of the wall planes. The proposed hotel provides additional architectural detailing and elements on the areas that are visible from the public right-of-way including the frontage along W. Colton Avenue and the Interstate 10 freeway.
5. Location and type of planting, with due regard for the preservation of specimen trees upon a site.
Landscaping throughout the project site will be provided. The proposed landscaping will consist of a total of 72 trees and a wide variety of 5-gallon shrub mixes that will be planted throughout the site. The proposed trees include the Bottle tree, Palo Verde Desert Museum, Majestic Beauty Fruitless Olive, Maiden Hair Tree, and the Pink Trumpet Tree. The proposed project exceeds the minimum 7% landscaping requirement for the parking lot and provides 16% (or 5,267 square feet) of landscaping adjacent to the parking areas. In addition, approximately 18% of the overall site is landscaped. Overall, the landscape plan complies with the Redlands Municipal Code landscaping requirements.
6. Design and appropriateness of signs in relation to the architectural style of the building.
The signage that is shown on the building is for illustration purposes only. No signs are proposed as part of this application. The sign code regulations for the C-4 (Highway Commercial) District apply for the subject property. Any future wall signs would be reviewed administratively and would require a sign permit. In addition, any future monument signs would be processed with a Commission Sign Review and would require separate approval by the Planning Commission.
7. Glazing or image reflective surfaces (specular reflectance) shall be limited to a maximum reflectance value of twenty five percent (25%). "Specular reflectance" means any mirror like reflection, as contrasted to diffused reflection from such surfaces as concrete or vegetation.
The project proposes aluminum windows with a thermal broken frame and insulated glazing with a reflectance of 13%. A condition of approval has been added to the project that glazing or image reflective surfaces (specular reflectance) shall be limited to a maximum reflectance of 25% to be verified prior to permit issuance.
E) Lot Line Adjustment
A Lot Line Adjustment is required since the project site currently consists of two separate parcels. RMC Section 17.05.030 requires Lot Lines Adjustments that are being processed concurrently with other land use applications to be acted upon by the same approving body. The project includes merging two lots Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 66 of 349
into one totaling 1.524 acres (see Attachment J – Lot Line Adjustment Exhibits). The merging of the lots will be consistent with the RMC and the new lot meets the applicable requirements for the C-4, Highway Commercial District.
F) Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study
Measure U requires a socioeconomic cost/benefit study for project involving structures larger than 5,000 square-feet. A Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study has been prepared for this project (see Attachment K). According to the cost/benefit model used by the City, the proposed project will result in an annual revenue totaling $35,271 and annual costs totaling $25,512; therefore, annual revenue generated by the project is anticipated to be approximately $9,705 and results in a positive cost/benefit ratio of +1.38. The proposed project will not create a physical blight or overburden public services in the community, and no additional information or evaluation is needed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15332 (Infill Development Projects) and Section 15305 (Minor Alteration is Land Use Limitations) of the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 15332 pertains to infill development sites of less than five acres, and the proposal meets all criteria for this exemption. Section 15303 pertains to minor Lot Line Adjustments, and the proposal meets all criteria for this exemption.
The proposed project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation, the applicable general plan policies, and with the applicable development standards. The General Plan land use designation is Commercial, the property is within the C-4 Highway Commercial zoning district, and the surrounding properties to the north, east, and west have a similar zoning designation. The proposed project is within city limits on a project site that is not more than five acres that is completely surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rate, or threatened species, and the approval will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and the site is adequately serviced by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, the project qualifies for exemption from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects).

Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 102 of 349
City Council Meeting I. 13.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the release of a lien agreement ("Project") to secure construction of public improvements for 1001 Columbia Street and a determination that the Project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality
Act (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendations are appropriate, the following motion(s) are provided:
I move that approval of the lien release is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and
1. I move to approve the public improvements constructed at 1001 Columbia Street as complete and accept those improvements as satisfaction of the obligation to construct public improvements required by the lien agreement entered into with the City by the owner of the property; and
2. I move to approve a Release of Lien for construction of improvements at 1001 Columbia Street.
3. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council deem the public improvements constructed at 1001 Columbia Street and accept those improvements as satisfaction of the obligation to construct public improvements required by the lien agreement entered into with the City by the owner of the property.
Staff recommends that City Council's approval of the lien release is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 103 of 349
Staff recommends City Council approve a Release of Lien for construction of improvements at 1001 Columbia Street.
DISCUSSION:
In 1986, an agreement to secure construction of public improvements at 1001 Columbia Street was approved by the City Council via Ordinance No. 1772. The original lien agreement and a site diagram are included with this report.
The public improvements required in the agreement have been constructed and accepted by the City Engineer. The lien agreement requires that the public improvements be approved and accepted as completed by the City Council in order to be deemed complete. Upon full performance of the obligations described in the agreement, the City is required to execute an instrument of full satisfaction of the agreement. Execution of the Release of Lien document, included with this report, is necessary to release any encumbrances created by the original lien agreement.
Approval of the release of lien is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act which provides that CEQA does not apply if it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may choose to not approve the release of the lien; however, the obligation on the property owner to construct public improvements has been met for the release of the lien.

City Council Meeting I. 14.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8671 and approve a one-year Extension of Time to the expiration date for Commission Review & Approval No. 950 for the construction of an RV sales, storage, and service facility on a 4.6-acre property. The approved project includes an approximately 3,000 square-foot sales office and caretaker’s residence as well as an approximately 1,500 square-foot vehicle service area. The project site is located at 1060 Nevada Street (APN: 0292-063-57-0000) in the Commercial Transition (EV/TC) district of the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 8671 and approve a one-year Extension of Time for Commission Review & Approval No. 950.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8671 to approve a one-year Extension of Time for Commission Review & Approval No. 950.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting approval of a one-year extension of time for Commission Review & Approval No. 950, which was approved by the Planning Commission on April 11, 2023. This approval will expire on April 11, 2025, unless a grading or building permit has been issued to commence construction of the project, or an extension of time is granted.
The approved project includes the construction of a recreational vehicle (RV) Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 116 of 349
The approved project includes the construction of a recreational vehicle (RV) sales and storage facility on approximately 4.6 acres of vacant land located at 1060 Nevada Street (see Attachment A). The approved project includes: a 1,992 square-foot sales office; a 1,131 square-foot caretaker’s unit on the 2nd floor for 24-hour onsite security; and an unenclosed service bay area for two RVs (attached to the structure) for minor repairs and maintenance services. The RV display and storage area includes 158 covered parking spaces, which are intended to be used primarily for parking and display of new RV inventory, and ancillary rental spaces for the public to store personal RVs (see Attachment B).
The Planning Commission staff report (Attachment C) provides additional analysis. Conditions of Approval for the project are included in Resolution No. 1619 (Attachment D).
The applicant is currently searching for an investor to fund the development of the project. There are no building permits under review by the City at this time.
The applicant has indicated the approval of a one-year extension will provide additional time to find an investor and begin the process of applying for building permits.
In accordance with RMC Section 18.12.130, a Commission Review & Approval permit shall expire two (2) years from the date of approval unless the holder of the permit obtains a permit and begins construction or obtains an extension of time. The City Council may grant a one-year extension of time, not to exceed a total number of three (3) extensions. This is the applicant’s first request for a time extension.
If approved, the new expiration date for this project will be April 11, 2026. No changes to the project are proposed, and the original Conditions of Approval remain applicable for the project.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may deny the request, which would result in the expiration of Commission Review & Approval No. 950. This would require the applicant to resubmit an entirely new development application.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.

3. RECOMMENDATION:

Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 155 of 349
DISCUSSION:
The Facilities and Community Services Department manages the administration and issuance of permits for special events held in public areas of the city. Upon the issuance of a special event permit, the event may take place contingent on the event organizer paying the required fees. The City recognizes the value of partnering with non-profit agencies and organizations to provide services beneficial to the community. In an effort to support programs that provide a community benefit, the City Council will, from time to time, consider the authorization of in-kind support, including the use of city equipment, staff, and facilities for special events.
Loma Linda University is a registered non-profit organization operating out of the City of Loma Linda. According to the submitted application, the event is held in an effort to bring awareness to mental health, reduce stigma, and provide mental health resources to the community. The event this year is expected to draw over 900 participants for the 5K event.
This event will require the closure of Iowa Street between Barton Rd and W.
Park Avenue. The street closure and detour will be in place between 5:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on May 4, 2025. The City previously approved in-kind support in the amount of $900.00 for the Stigma 5k on Sunday, May 19, 2024. Loma Linda University Behavioral Health has successfully hosted these events, gathering hundreds of people, which is a benefit for local businesses and community engagement.
The event is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act’s guidelines pursuant to Section 15311(c). Section 15311(c), accessory structures Class 11 facilities, consists of construction, or replacement of minor structure accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including placement of seasonal or temporary use items such as mobile food units, portable restrooms or similar items in generally the same locations from time to time in publicly owned parks or other facilities designed for public use.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may elect to deny the request for in-kind support, deny the request for temporary street closure and direct staff accordingly.

City Council Meeting I. 16.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the agreement with Geo-Logic Associates, Inc., for design, engineering, and construction support for the California Street Landfill for the Phase 5 expansion in the amount of $198,936; and determine that the agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Facilities and Community Services Department Director Crocker) MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that City Council determine that approval of the Agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and
1. I move that the City Council approve an agreement with Geo-Logic Associates Inc.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve an agreement with Geo-Logic Associates Inc., to provide design engineering support and construction support for the California Street Landfill in the amount of $198,936. In addition, staff recommends that approval of this Agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to 15061(b)(3) of the State’s guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 168 of 349
DISCUSSION:
The Facilities and Community Services Department, Solid Waste Division, operates the California Street Landfill located on Nevada Street, adjacent to the Santa Ana River Wash. The landfill is utilized exclusively for refuse collected within the City limits and is not open to the public. The California Street Landfill is required by Federal, State, and County agencies to remain in compliance with the regulatory requirements associated with the daily operations, monitoring, routine gas flare emissions, and other reporting requirements.
As the City of Redlands grows, waste production also increases, requiring additional capacity to dispose of waste safely while remaining in compliance with all regulatory requirements. The current landfill expansion areas will soon reach maximum waste placement, which means preparation for the California Street Landfill Phase 5 expansion is required promptly. In order for the City to provide the ongoing sustainability of its critical solid waste operations, it is imminent that the Phase 5 Landfill design and expansion be implemented.
In accordance with the City’s procurement guidelines, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised on December 3, 2024, for design engineering support and construction support services for the California Street Landfill. The RFP evaluated the capacity and qualification of firms to provide services and their experience to provide the required services. A total of two (2) responses were received from the following firms:
Firm Name Responsive
Bidder
Responsible
Proposer
Cost
Proposal
Geo-Logic
Associates,Inc. X X X
Civil &
Environmental
Consultants, Inc.
X X X
Staff evaluated the proposals for conformance with the scope of services and qualifications in accordance with Chapter 2.16.180 of the Municipal Code. Staff confirmed that Geo-Logic Associates met the City’s requirements and is the most highly qualified firm, based on the response to the scope of work provided in the RFP. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council approve an agreement with Geo-Logic Associates in the amount of $198,936.
The proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act's (CEQA) guidelines pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) as the approval of the Agreement would be covered by the general rule common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, where it can be seen with Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 169 of 349
causing a significant effect on the environment, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and there is negligible expansion of existing facilities.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect not to approve the agreement.

City Council Meeting I. 17.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for Architectural and Engineering Services with Wolff/Lang/Christopher Architects, Incorporated, doing business as PBK-WLC, to extend the contract term and increase the total contract amount by $50,000, bringing it to $275,000, for the completion of the Fire Station 262 Renovation Project (Fire Chief Sessler)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for Architectural and Engineering Services with Wolff/Lang/Christopher Architects, Incorporated, doing business as PBK-WLC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for Architectural and Engineering Services with Wolff/Lang/Christopher Architects, Incorporated, doing business as PBK-WLC, extending the term of the agreement and increasing the contract amount to allow for the successful completion of the Fire Station 262 Renovation Project. This extension ensures continuity of services, allowing PBK-WLC to finalize all necessary architectural and engineering work while maintaining project timelines and quality standards.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 183 of 349
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands Fire Department provides emergency response and fire suppression services from four stations throughout the city, maintaining a minimum daily staffing of 19 personnel. Fire Station 262, located at 1690 Garden Street on the south side of the city, was originally constructed in 1965 as a single-family residence and has long required upgrades to improve operational efficiency and safety.
To address the station’s limitations, including space constraints, the need for gender-neutral facilities, ADA compliance, and energy-efficient design, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional architectural and engineering services.
On June 7, 2022, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Wolff/Lang/Christopher Architects, Incorporated dba PBK-WLC to provide architectural and engineering design services, which included:
Design Development Phase – Creating detailed plans to address the station’s deficiencies.
Bidding Phase – Providing administrative support to assist the City in obtaining competitive bids.
Construction Phase – Overseeing project implementation to ensure adherence to design specifications.
As the project progressed, the oversight of the construction phase presented several challenges, requiring additional time for coordination and meetings.
Unforeseen site conditions, regulatory compliance requirements, and necessary design adjustments have necessitated ongoing discussions between City staff, PBK-WLC, and contractors to ensure the project remains on track and aligned with the City’s objectives.
The proposed amendment extends the agreement with PBK-WLC and increases the contract amount by $50,000, bringing it to $275,000, to allow for continued support and oversight during this critical phase. Additional time will enable PBK-WLC to work closely with all stakeholders, address construction-related challenges, and ensure the successful completion of Fire Station 262’s modernization efforts without compromising quality, safety, or operational efficiency.
Approving this amendment will provide the necessary continuity of services, preventing delays and ensuring that PBK-WLC remains actively engaged in resolving issues as they arise, ultimately contributing to the timely and effective completion of the project.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 184 of 349
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may decline to approve the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with PBK-WLC and instead direct staff to pursue an alternative course of action.

Fiscal Impact
Fiscal Year: 2024-2025
Appropriation Required Y/N: N
Discussion:
Approval of this amendment will result in an increase of $50,000 to the existing Professional Services Agreement with PBK-WLC, ensuring continued oversight and support for the Fire Station 262 renovation project. This additional funding will cover extended coordination efforts, meetings, and design adjustments required due to unforeseen site conditions and regulatory compliance challenges.
The cost increase will be funded through the approved capital improvement budget allocated for Fire Department projects. There is no expected impact on the City's General Fund, as the additional expenditure will be managed within existing project resources.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 207 of 349
City Council Meeting J. 1.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action regarding South Coast Air Quality Management District's Proposed Amended Rule 1111 (Reduction of NOx Emissions from Natural Gas-Fired Furnaces) and Proposed Amended Rule 1121 (Reduction of NOx Emissions from
Residential-Type, Natural Gas-Fired Water Heaters) (Mayor Pro Tem Shaw)
MOTION:
If the City Council concurs with Mayor Pro Tem Shaw's recommendation, then the following motion is provided:
I move that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign a letter to SCAQMD on behalf of the City Council in opposition to Proposed Amended Rule 1111 and Proposed Amended Rule 1121.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended by Mayor Pro Tem Shaw that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign a letter to SCAQMD on behalf of the City Council in opposition to Proposed Amended Rule 1111 and Proposed Amended Rule 1121.
DISCUSSION:
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the government agency responsible for air quality in the greater Southern California region. One of the functions of SCAQMD is to develop plans and promulgate Rules that assist the region in attaining federal air quality standards. SCAQMD's 2022 Air Quality Management Plan includes a goal of a 67% reduction in oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions over baseline levels by 2037. In furtherance of this goal, the SQAQMD proposes to amend Rule 1111 and 1121 (PAR 1111 and PAR 1121), both of which were adopted in the late 1970's, to both lower the NOx emission standard to zero and implement mandatory compliance time frames for both new construction and existing buildings and homes. Rule 1111 Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 208 of 349
frames for both new construction and existing buildings and homes. Rule 1111 regulates the emissions from residential gas-fired furnaces, and Rule 1121 regulates the emissions from residential gas-fired water heaters. The PARs seek to transition to zero-emission space and appliances, based on future effective dates when existing appliances need to be replaced. The updated AQMD guidelines include two key changes from the November PAR 1111 to the March PAR: lowering the BTU threshold from 2,000,000 to 175,000, limiting the order to primarily residential appliances, and excluding mobile homes from the new guidelines. Additionally, AQMD highlighted the Manufacturer Alternative Compliance Mitigation Fee, set to begin in 2027, which would allow manufacturers to continue selling NOx-emitting furnaces and water heaters through payment of a mitigation fee. The proposed fees include $100 per NOx-emitting furnace, $50 per NOx-emitting water heater, and a $500 fee for each unit sold beyond established targets, with potential increases over time. A copy of AQMD's presentation on the proposed rules is attached for reference.
A number of other jurisdictions have already expressed formal opposition of the PARs to SCAQMD, including the Cities of Chino, La Verne, Lakewood, and Yorba Linda. The San Bernardino Council of Governments, of which Redlands is a member, also adopted a resolution opposing the PARs. Mayor Pro Tem Shaw has requested that the City Council discuss this matter and, if in agreement, authorize the Mayor to send a letter on behalf of the City to SQAQMD opposing the adoption and implementation of the PARs. A draft opposition letter is Attachment 3 to this report. PAR 1111
As currently proposed, on and after the applicable compliance date, no person shall manufacture, supply, sell, resell, offer for sale, import, or install, any furnace for use in the South Coast AQMD, that exceed the NOx emission limits.
The applicable compliance dates for New Building types shall be determined based on the construction or alteration completion date.

PAR 1111 and 1121 are currently in draft phase. SCAQMD is currently anticipating releasing updated PARs in early April, and a tentative public hearing date scheduled for May 2, 2025, for approval of the PARs.
Estimated Replacement Costs
Estimates from an SCAQMD draft staff report on the PARs show replacement costs for space heaters ranging from $18,500 to $21,500 if an electric panel upgrade is needed. For water heater replacements, the cost to go electric ranges from approximately $5,200 to $8,200.
Incentives
SCAQMD's Governing Board approved Go Zero, a zero-emission pilot incentive program for residents and small businesses to adopt zero-NOx emission space and water heating appliances. GO Zero will be funded with $21 million and elements of the rebate program are anticipated to include:
Single Family Residential ($9 million)
Multi-Family Residential ($5 million)
Small Business ($5 million)
Installer training ($1 million)
Outreach and application assistance, with an emphasis on overburdened communities ($1 million)
As of AQMD's February 2025 Working Group meeting, the estimated rebate program incentives for the aforementioned categories are as follows:
Single Family Resident Rebate: $1,000 to $3,000 per unit.
Multi-Family Resident Rebate: $1,000 to $3,000 per unit, with a cap of $300,000.
Small Business Rebate: $4,000 per unit.
It is important to note that the exact details of the Go Zero pilot incentive program have yet to be formally approved.

Manufacturer Alternative Compliance Mitigation Fee
• Zero-emission manufacturer option would be combined with mitigation fees • Fee will partially mitigate emissions forgone from the alternative compliance option • Provide a revenue stream for Go Zero incentive program • Manufacturers previously paid $150 - $450 mitigation fee per 40 ng/J gas furnace • Proposing nominal fee to incentivize transition to zero-emission technologies without putting undue financial burden on homeowners
Mitigation fee for all gas units sold after 2027
• $100/NOx emitting furnace
• $50/NOx emitting water heater
• $500 mitigation fee for each NOx emitting unit sold over target* • Discounted fee if zero-emission goal exceeded
* Considering increasing fee over time
17 Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 228 of 349
Zero-NOx Standard for New Buildings
• California Title 24 Building Code includes zero-NOx emission appliance ready requirements starting January 1, 2026
• Requirement is not prescriptive, some NOx-emitting units can be installed • Proposed space and water heating rules include flexibility to sell both NOx-emitting and zero-NOx emission appliances
• Zero-NOx Emission Manufacturer Alternative Compliance Option starting January 1, 2027
• 2026 calendar year will have limited flexibility in current form • Staff proposing to delay the New Building zero-NOx emission standard until January 1, 2027 to align with Zero-NOx Emission Manufacturer Alternative Compliance Option 18 Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 229 of 349
Affordability, especially for low-income residents
• Individual decision as gas units will still be available Lack of consumer choice
• Homeowners will have a choice to purchase gas unit or zero-emission unit Concerns about zero-emission technology readiness
• Slower transition to zero-emission allows more technology development Concerns about electricity demand and grid sustainability • Slower transition will slow demand increase and time to meet future demand Concerns on implementation in schools and small business • With revised applicability, units are small size and mainly for residential installation How the New Rule Concept Addresses Comments

Updates to Cost
Assumptions
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 259 of 349
• Staff considers upfront “project costs” and lifetime operational costs • Customers will have choice to transition to zero-emission units upon unit replacement, so costs considered are incremental costs
Cost-Effectiveness Assessment
Upfront project cost
Unit, installation, panel upsizing,
and other electrical work
Fuel switching cost difference
Difference between the gas and
electricity utility rate and
appliance efficiency
• Electricity rates are higher than natural
gas, but heat pumps are 3 – 5 times
more efficient than conventional units
which can result in lifetime cost savings
49 Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 260 of 349
Staff updated cost assessment to reflect most
recent available cost data (i.e., 2024-dollars)
Staff updated:
• Project costs
• Utility rates based on updated projection
• Annual fuel use for fuel switch cost
• Staff looked at lifetime operational costs based
on different climate zones
• South Coast AQMD is a diverse region
• Installation and utility costs can vary for
mountain, inland, city, and coastal installations

Utility Rate Forecast
• Staff relies on the California Energy Commission’s
Integrated Energy Progress Report (IEPR) to estimate
future utility costs (i.e., gas and electricity rates)
• Cost of operating zero-NOx emitting appliance
• Typically, an electric heat pump
• Cost of operating NOx-emitting appliance
• Typically, a natural gas furnace
• Used residential rate for single-family home and
multifamily homes
62 Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 273 of 349
Updated Utility Rate Forecast
Prior assessment relied on 2023 forecast
for electricity and natural gas rates
Forecast shows natural gas prices increasing at
a higher rate than electricity prices
As demand for natural gas decreases, rates
expected to increase as fewer consumers left
to pay to maintain aging gas infrastructure
December 2024, IEPR updated their
electricity rate forecast
Estimated both residential and commercial
electricity rates will increase by ~$0.03 per
kWh from prior forecast

Climate Zone Fuel Use Assessment
• The South Coast AQMD region ranges from coast
to mountains covering five climate zones
• Different weather patterns by various climate
zones could cause distinction of fuel use
• Income and economy difference may also mean
varied equipment installation costs
• Prior analysis assumed same fuel use costs across
the region
• To understand the fuel switching costs for regions
within the South Coast AQMD, staff evaluated
fuel use by climate zone for space heating
• Water heating cost not impacted by climate
zone so cost by climate zone not available

Dear Governing Board,
On behalf of the City Council of the City of Redlands, I write to you to express our opposition to Proposed Amended Rules (PAR) 1111 and 1121, which would establish zero NOx emission limits for new space and water heating appliance installations.
Unlike most SCAQMD rules that regulate large stationary sources of air pollution like oil refineries and warehouses, PARs 1111 and 1121 specifically target individual homeowners, apartment buildings, and businesses, meaning families and business owners will directly bear the cost of these rules.
Housing affordability is and will remain a top public policy priority for the City of Redlands for the foreseeable future. Local governments are being pressured to build more housing; specifically, housing people can afford. Any regulations that increase these costs deserve scrutiny to ensure that the increased costs are met with an equal or more significant amount of benefit to the consumer. Although PARs 1111 and 1121 provide manufacturers with the option of continuing to produce NOx emitting space and water heaters, these come with a mitigation fee attached to every unit produced, which will certainly be passed along to the consumer. As a result, the City of Redlands opposes PARs 1111 and 1121 and urges the SCAQMD to indefinitely delay or cease consideration of these two regulations immediately.

City Council Meeting K. 1.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. 8673, naming of the classroom at the Joslyn Senior Center in honor of Pete Serfass (Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission's recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 8673.
RECOMMENDATION:
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At their December 12, 2024 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission recommended that the City Council approve the renaming of the classroom at the Joslyn Senior Center in honor of Pete Serfass.
DISCUSSION:
Resolution No. 7711 includes procedures for the naming of city parks, buildings, streets, and other public facilities. The resolution states that priority shall be given to naming a City park, building, or other public facility after its geographical location, a recognizable theme, its historic significance, or geological features associated with the park, building, or public facility. City parks, buildings, or other public facilities may be named for a person or entity who has made a significant contribution to the Redlands community provided such person shall be deceased for at least three (3) years prior to designating his or her name for a park, building or other public facility, unless waived by the City Council, or for a person, organization, or business that has contributed more than fifty percent (50%) of the cost of construction, acquisition, or longterm maintenance of a park, building or public facility.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 329 of 349
term maintenance of a park, building or public facility.
In accordance with this resolution, the Senior Activities Advisory Board submitted recommendations to city staff for consideration by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRC) and the City Council to rename the classroom at the Joslyn Senior Center in honor of Pete Serfass. Pete Serfass, whose legacy at the Joslyn Senior Center reflects over two decades of unparalleled service. Mr. Serfass devoted more than 20 years to leading the center's Bridge Group, fostering camaraderie and connection among its members. His leadership extended beyond Bridge; as a volunteer member of the Senior Activities Board for 10 years, Mr. Serfass played a pivotal role in shaping programs and advocating for the needs of seniors. Mr. Serfass' service to his country was equally distinguished. Drafted into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel during a 24-year military career marked by dedication and excellence. After retiring, Mr. Serfass and his family settled in Redlands, where he combined his passion for Bridge with a deep commitment to community service. Mr. Serfass' love for the game began in his youth, and he shared this enthusiasm with others through his voluntary direction of the Bridge program at the Joslyn Senior Center. Mr. Serfass' passing in 2020 was a great loss to all who knew him, but his contributions continue to be felt through the programs and friendships he nurtured. Renaming a room or facility at the Joslyn Senior Center in Mr. Serfass' honor would be a fitting tribute to his enduring impact on the community. It would ensure that his legacy of service, leadership, and connection remains an inspiration for future generations. At their December 12, 2024, meeting the PRC recommended that the City Council approve the renaming of the Classroom at the Joslyn Senior Center in honor of Pete Serfass.
In accordance with Resolution No. 7711, the PRC has the appropriate jurisdiction to review and recommend naming of public parks facilities. The PRC determined that the individual being honored met the criteria of providing a significant contribution to the Redlands community.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may choose to deny the renaming of these public facilities and provide alternate direction to staff.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.

City Council Meeting K. 2.
DATE: 04/01/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of a $62,583.80 purchase order modification with Rush Truck Centers for a replacement solid waste rear loader vehicle and a total purchase order amount not to exceed $1,591,059.51 (Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker) MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve a purchase order modification with Rush Truck Centers.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve a purchase order modification for Fiscal Year 2024-25 with Rush Truck Centers for a replacement solid waste rear loader vehicle in the amount of $62,583.80 for a total vehicle amount not to exceed $445,441.48 and a total purchase order amount not to exceed $1,591,059.51.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands operates a Solid Waste Enterprise, which includes both collection and landfill services, supported by a fleet of 43 vehicles that require regular maintenance and timely replacement. The City's vehicle replacement policy is guided by industry standards established by the American Public Works Association (APWA). As part of this policy, in November 2021, the City utilized an existing cooperative contract agreement with Sourcewell to replace four solid waste collection vehicles that had far exceeded their recommended 8-year life cycle. These older vehicles significantly impacted the daily operations of the division, contributing to an increased number of inoperable trucks, which directly affects the City’s ability to effectively collect residential and commercial waste.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 4-1-2025 342 of 349
Between 2021 and 2024, the solid waste collection vehicle industry faced unprecedented vehicle shortages nationwide, which delayed the delivery of new vehicles. Due to supply chain disruptions following the Covid-19 pandemic, the chassis for the 2022 model was not readily available, and production of new chassis came to a temporary standstill. These trucks are built to order and highly specialized, which means each custom build typically takes 2-3 years to complete. As production resumed, the vendor was able to secure a 2025 model.
This was done in order to meet the latest specifications and performance standards. To account for these cost increases, a purchase order modification is required, raising the total amount by $62,583.80. This will bring the total vehicle amount to $445,441.48, with the overall purchase order amount not exceeding $1,591,059.51. Replacing these aging vehicles with newer models not only reduces maintenance costs but also enhances the safety of staff operating the City’s solid waste collection vehicles, which will greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of waste collection services.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect not to approve the purchase order modification.
However, this will greatly impact the Solid Waste division's ability to service the City.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Supports Priority D - Sustainability.
