Veil Bonita neighbors ask Redlands to enforce noise and zoning rules at 11030 Nevada Street
Summary
Residents from the Veil Bonita neighborhood urged the council to investigate an address on Nevada Street they say is operating as an unpermitted event venue, citing repeated late-night amplified music, potential zoning violations and ongoing nuisance conditions. They presented a petition and asked for code enforcement and follow-up.
Residents of the Veil Bonita neighborhood told the Redlands City Council on Oct. 10 that 11030 Nevada Street appears to be operating as an unpermitted event venue and that ongoing amplified music, late-night parties, people living in the rear of the property and chained dogs have created repeated, disruptive noise and nuisance conditions.
Cameron Grijalva said neighbors have filed repeated reports with police, animal control and city code enforcement since late spring but that the disturbances have continued. Grijalva cited specific provisions of the Redlands Municipal Code, noting that Section 806030 makes it unlawful to make or allow "loud, unusual or unnecessary noise that disturbs the peace or comfort of a reasonable person," and Section 806090 prohibits amplified music or sound devices between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. if the noise crosses property lines and disturbs nearby residents. He also referenced Title 18 (zoning) and asked the city to investigate unpermitted commercial or event uses in a residential zone.
Grijalva said the neighborhood brought a petition signed by affected residents and requested four actions: investigate the property for zoning and land-use violations; enforce the city's noise ordinances and nighttime amplified-sound prohibitions; address the ongoing nuisance through citations or corrective actions permitted by city law; and provide accountability and follow-up so residents know their complaints lead to change.
The mayor asked the resident to hand the petition to the city clerk for the record. No immediate enforcement outcome was recorded in the meeting; code-enforcement staff were not quoted at the meeting. Grijalva said the neighbors were not seeking conflict but wanted enforcement of existing rules so families could sleep and feel secure in their homes.
Why it matters: Neighbors cited repeated calls to enforcement divisions and ongoing disturbances that, they say, violate explicit provisions of the municipal code. The matter, if investigated and found to be a zoning or code violation, could lead to citations, corrective actions or other enforcement steps under city law.
