City of Redlands Planning Commission June 24, 2026

The City of Redlands Planning Commission held a meeting on June 24, 2026, where they reviewed and approved a revision to a commission review and approval for an expansion project at Toyota of Redlands. The project involved demolishing 2,742 square feet and constructing an 8,170 square foot addition to the automotive service center, including a detached car wash and detail building. The commission confirmed the project complied with zoning and land use designations, parking requirements, and environmental exemptions. A socioeconomic cost-benefit study showed a positive impact. The commission voted unanimously to approve the project with conditions. Additionally, the commission opened a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to establish allowable hours of operation for serving alcoholic beverages, specifically a midnight closing time for bars and restaurants. Several business owners expressed concerns about the economic impact and fairness of the ordinance, arguing it would harm responsible operators and reduce revenue and employment. The commission decided to continue the discussion to a future date to allow further review and public input. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were taken during this meeting.
