Summary
Redlands warehouses and logistics distribution centers must post anti-idling signs enforcing a five-minute limit on diesel truck engine idling at entrances and dock areas, tying the local sign requirement directly to state air-quality rule 13 CCR Section 2480.
Anti-idling signs indicating a five (5) minute restriction on engine idling for diesel trucks shall be posted at warehouses and industrial commerce facilities along entrances to the site and within the dock areas and shall be strictly enforced by the facility operator (13 CCR § 2480).
Full Breakdown
156's Article XII on warehouses and logistics distribution centers, requires anti-idling signs indicating a five-minute restriction on engine idling for diesel trucks to be posted at warehouses and industrial commerce facilities along site entrances and within dock areas, and requires the restriction to be strictly enforced by the facility operator, citing 13 CCR Section 2480. 910 to new warehouse development of 50,000 square feet or more, or with six or more truck docks or dock-high loading doors, as well as to redevelopment exceeding 50 percent of a warehouse's reasonable replacement value, excluding government and public utility facilities.
920 bars new warehouses from locating more than one mile from an Interstate 10 or Interstate 210 ramp. 950 separately requires warehouse projects to run at least 90 percent zero-emission on-site motorized equipment and to install rooftop solar or another state-recognized renewable energy source. These provisions were all adopted together under Ordinance 2955 in 2023, folding a specific, locally enforced diesel-idling sign requirement into a broader warehouse siting and operations ordinance aimed at truck traffic and air quality impacts near residential neighborhoods.
Violations & Fines
A warehouse or logistics facility operator that fails to post the required anti-idling signage, or fails to enforce the five-minute diesel idling limit once posted, is subject to the city's standard zoning enforcement process under Chapter 18.208 in addition to any separate enforcement under 13 CCR Section 2480 by state air quality authorities.
