Revisions to the City of Redlands Downtown Specific Plan

Revisions to the City of Redlands Downtown Specific Plan

The proposed project involves revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan, including expansion of its boundaries, modification of its goals, and establishment of a development program that will provide a pedestrian-friendly, amenity-rich mixed use environment in both the immediate and long range future. The project proposes to extend the Specific Plan Area boundaries to generally include the area south of Redlands Blvd. between Texas Street and Church Street. The proposed project will identify four achievable goals to guide the future of Redlands, including (1) the promotion of economic vitality in Downtown Redlands by encouraging a mix of uses, (2) the creation of a pedestrian-oriented environment, (3) the maintenance and enhancement of a distinct Redlands character, and (4) the enhancement and extension of civic realm. Buildout of the revised Downtown Specific Plan, which is assumed to be in 2025, would result in approx. 944 residential units, 844,000 sq. ft. of retail uses, 108,000 sq. ft. of restaurants, 330,000 sq. ft. of office space, 17 screens (3,257 seats) of theatres/ cinemas, 100 rooms (20,000 sq. ft.) of hotel uses, and 133,000 sq. ft. of civic uses.
