REDLANDS, CA – The Redlands City Council voted 3-2 to approve a controversial 357,610-square-foot warehouse project on California Street, despite significant community opposition and a unanimous recommendation for denial from the Planning Commission.

The project, proposed by LA developer North Palisade Partners, will be built on the site of the former Splash Kingdom water park near the intersection of California Street and the 10 Freeway.

Why it matters: More than 120 comments were submitted against the development over two public hearings. On June 11, the Redlands Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend the City Council reject the development because it found it was not in conformity with the city's General Plan and would adversely affect the surrounding area. More than 80 public comments were made in opposition to the project in June.

Against the advice of the Planning Commission, city staff recommended that the City Council approve the project.
