Adjournment CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: July 2, 1992 TO: Chairman and Members of the Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Larry J. Henderson, AICP, Principal Planner BY: Beverly Nissen, Associate Planner SUBJECT: REVIEW OF MASI TOWN CENTER PUBLIC ART PROGRAM BACKGROUND: On July 20, 1991, Jack Masi and his representatives requested the demolition of a building historically known as the La Fourcade Store, located at 11871 Foothill Boulevard. On August 21, 1991, the Masi family successfully removed the structure's most recent occupant, the Cowgirl Theatre. Masi Commerce Center Partners has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit for the development of 32 buildings totaling approximately 268,907 square feet and consisting of a mix of industrial, multi-tenant, office, and restaurant uses. The site is approximately 27 acres in size. The proposed submittal has been reviewed on numerous occasions by the Design Review committee and is scheduled for the July 22, 1992, Planning Commission meeting. In conjunction with this proposal, the applicant also has submitted an Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment which was approved by the City Council on June 3, 1992. The amendment involved revisions to the circulation access points along Rochester Avenue, the addition of an "Auto Service Court" use, and the addition of "Speciality Building Supplies and Home Improvement" as a conditional use within Subarea 7. At their August 1, 1991, meeting, the Historic Preservation Commission requested that the property be reviewed to determine its significance in response to the demolition request. The project was formally reviewed at the September 5, 1991, Historic Preservation Commission, at which time the La Fourcade store was designated as a "Point of Interest" (see Exhibit "A") . The recommendation was forwarded to the City Council on September 18, 1991. An Historic Point of Interest Designation was approved on that date along with a mitigated negatived declaration. Mitigation measure No. 2 indicates the following: The development of the site shall incorporate details of the site's history, in particular the La Fourcade period, through the incorporation of the following measures: commissioned public art and development and placement of interpretive public displays. The final specifications of such measures shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and forwarded with a recommendation to the Planning Commission HPC STAFF REPORT REVIEW OF MASI TOWN CENTER ART PROGRAM July 2, 1992 Page 2 during development/design review hearings on any development proposal for this site. Final approval of the appropriate public art and interpretive displays shall occur prior to the issuance of building permits. In working towards fulfillment of this condition, the applicant met with a subcommittee of the Historic Preservation Commission and the Planning Commission (Marsha Banks, Steve Preston, Larry McNiel, Suzanne Chitiea) on May 27, 1992, to discuss their proposal for commissioned public art and the development and placement of interpretive public displays. The applicant presented to the subcommittee a "vintner's walk" concept which is proposed to be approximately 160 feet in length along Foothill Boulevard. The walkway was proposed to be covered partially with a "Pipe trellis" which could potentially be used as support for grapevines or some other appropriate plant material. The walkway would be punctuated by three "events" (as described by the applicant) which could consist of bas relief panels, sculptures, plaques and/or interpretive displays. The subcommittee expressed their preference for realistic, rather than abstract, interpretations along the Vintner's Walkway. The subcommittee suggested the possibility of utilizing quotations from the oral histories, photographic displays, and/or some type of medallion to fulfill the requirement for interpretive public displays. The requirement for "Commissioned Public Art" was also discussed, and it was felt that this should be viewed separately from the interpretive display requirement. The subcommittee felt that the theme of the common field worker would be appropriate for a sculptural element, but that it should accurately reflect the Southern California wine making traditions, practices, and methods, rather than foreign traditions. The utilization of the La Fourcade arch and its incorporation into the entryway design of a restaurant planned for the existing winery building was discussed, and the concept was supported by the subcommittee. DISCUSSION: Since the subcommittee meeting, the applicant has further revised their proposal in the following manner: A. Interpretive Public Displays and Vintner's Walk: The walkway will extend approximately 160 feet along Foothill Boulevard as originally proposed. The names of the Vintner families, along with the dates their wineries were established, will be incorporated into the walk on inscribed pavers. The walkway will have a metal trellis along its length and historical display panels with text and photos depicting the history of wine making in the area starting with the La Fourcade period and covering the immigrant grape growers and vintners of the 1920's to 1930's. Areas for seating will be incorporated along the walkway. The applicant has proposed four to six display panels; however, staff would recommend that six be utilized along the length of the walk. HPC STAFF REPORT REVIEW OF MASI TOWN CENTER ART PROGRAM July 2, 1992 Page 3 The applicant has also proposed a 7-foot wide "story board" at the eastern end of the Vintner's Walk where the original La Fourcade store stood. The story board would be a bas relief depicting the La Fourcade winery. The applicant has proposed that the relief pictorially show La Fourcade directing the construction of the first wells in Cucamonga as well as views of some of the buildings he constructed. Also in partial fulfillment of the interpretive display requirement, the applicant has proposed an additional story board location at the western end of the Vintner's Walk depicting the Masi family. The bas relief would portray the hillside vineyards of the Masi's home town in Italy, members of the Masi family, and their lands and winery in Cucamonga. Staff supports these concepts and recommends that the details be further refined between staff and the applicant and returned to the Historic Preservation Commission for detail plans approval on an informal basis prior to the issuance of building permits. B. Commissioned Public Art: To fulfill this requirement, the applicant has proposed a sculpture of a vintner carrying a basket of grapes which would be located approximately midway along the Vintner's Walk. The sculpture is intended as a tribute to the wine making families of the area. A 12-inch wax model of the sculpture will be available at the meeting. The applicant proposes to commission Raymond Persinger, a Southern Californian artist, to do the sculpture. His biography is attached as Exhibit "D. " RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission consider the proposals, and if found to be acceptable, forward a recommendation of approval to the Planning Commission for incorporation of the interpretive public displays and commissioned public art into the design of the Masi Commerce Center. Final detailed plans shall be submitted and approved by Historic Preservation Commission prior to the issuance of building permits. Respectfully submitted, Larry J.

Henderson, AICP, Principal Planner BY: Anthea M. Hartig, Associate Planner SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A CHANGE OF THE HISTORIC STATUS AND APPLICATIONS FOR HISTORIC POINT OF INTEREST OR LANDMARK DESIGNATION FILED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, CONSIDERATION OF A DEMOLITION REQUEST BY THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND THE POSSIBLE ESTABLISHMENT OF MITIGATION MEASURES THEREIN FOR THE LA FOURCADE BUILDING LOCATED AT 11871 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD - APN: 229-011-10 - Consideration and determination of the historic status, application for Point of Interest or Landmark Designation, and level of appropriate mitigations for the demolition of the structure. The range of alternatives may include the following: Landmark status, Point of Interest status, and/or mitigation measures prior to demolition. BACKGROUND: On July 20, 1991 , Jack Masi and his representatives requested the demolition of a building historically known as the La Fourcade Store, located at 11871 Foothill Boulevard. On August 21, 1991, the Masi family successfully removed the structure's most recent occupant, the Cowgirl Theatre. Masi Commerce Center Partners has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow 280,857 square feet of mixed use new construction on a 27-acre site that includes this parcel. The CUP application however, is not yet complete. The Masi submittal includes proposed light industrial, multi-tenant commercial, religious, restaurant, financial, convenience and automotive uses. At the August 1, 1991 meeting, the Historic Preservation Commission requested that the property be reviewed to determine its significance in response to the demolition request (the landmark application is included as Exhibit "HPC-1" ). This review of the La Fourcade Store's demolition request is a part of the environmental assessment for such a project, as required under the California Environmental Quality Act. SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: A. Location: The structure lies at the southwest corner parcel formed by the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue. Covering close to an acre, the parcel is 158 feet wide and 259 feet deep (see Exhibit "HPC-2" for site plan and zoning) . x�-x> A� i HPC STAFF REPORT LD 91-02 - LA FOURCADE BUILDING September 5, 1991 Page 2 B. Site Land Use, Zoning, and Industrial Specific Plan and Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Designations : Per the Industrial Specific Plan, the southern side of the Foothill/Rochester intersection is zoned for future Industrial Park use. The recent "Missing Link" supplement to the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan includes policies for this intersection, and specifies a future Activity Center for this acreage. Such centers are defined as unifying nodes of concentrated activity along the Foothill Boulevard corridor that "give identity and theme to the areas in which they are located" (Foothill Boulevard Design Supplement, page 4, Exhibit "HPC-3" ) . New construction proposals, per the Supplement, shall take into consideration a pedestrian scale when determining setbacks, first floor facade treatment, and building height, as well as incorporating the style of existing structures like the Agazzotti Winery at the intersection's southeast corner. C. Surrounding Land Uses, Zoning, and Industrial Specific Plan, Terra Vista Community Plan, and Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Designations: North - Per the Terra Vista Community Plan, the land directly north of Foothill Boulevard is zoned for mixed use future development combining commercial, office, and medium-high density residential uses. The northeast corner of Foothill and Rochester is zoned Office/Professional. South - The proposed City Sports Park is planned south of the project site and is in a General Industrial zoned area. West/East - As with the subject property, the parcels lying to the west and to the east (from east of Haven Avenue to Day Creek Channel) are currently zoned Industrial Park per the Industrial Specific Plan. D. Architectural Description and Building Chronology (refer to Exhibit "HPC-4" for an evolutionary sketch of the site) : As it stands, the structure is an irregularly shaped, single-story compilation of at least five different additions to the original building. The oldest portions of the site, as shown on the 1929 Sandborne Maps of the area, include this main structure of stucco-covered brick or 3-inch block with a wood-framed extension along its west side and southwest corner; one small, square brick/block structure located close to the southeast corner of the main building; and one wood- framed square shed located closer to Orange (now Rochester) Avenue (refer to Exhibit "HPC-5" ) . The shed is no longer standing and the small brick storage building has been altered beyond recognition. The main structure, however, retains some original elements despite numerous alterations. From a 1922 photograph, staff has gleaned that the general store structure extended only four bays in length A-;- J_ HPC STAFF REPORT LD 91-02 - LA FOURCADE BUILDING September 5, 1991 Page 3 and that a highly decorated porte cochere extended from the northeast of the store forming the space f or a gas station (f or historic photographs, see Exhibit "HPC-6" ) . Both the canopy and the main store building were characterized by deck (or flat hipped) roof constructions topped by regularly laid, straight barrel mission tile. By the drawing of the Sandborne Maps, seven years after the structure's construction, it seems that the gas station canopy had been removed. Portions of the parapet and cluster of columns which accentuated the canopy appear to have been salvaged and reused on the existing north facade. This restructuring accounts for the unusual decorative treatment that characterizes the building today, that of an applied if fanciful combination of Spanish eclectic, and French chateauesque trim to the parapeted entry and squared pilasters dividing the main facade's bays. The large storefront windows along the northern face are now covered and since accessing the structure's interior has not yet been possible, it is difficult to discern their original appearance. After reviewing the San Bernardino County building and assessment records, it seems that a series of new buildings and additions from the 1950s to the 1970s eventually formed the irregular massing of the site as we know it today. The store was expanded and the column treatment and roof line of the original building extended to the west and a concrete block garage was added to the southwest corner in 1952. In 1966, the storage structure to the south was enlarged and altered significantly to join the main building and four years later a tall, square "smoke room" was added to serve the restaurants needs. Shortly thereafter in 1972, a single storied, wood-framed and stucco finished structure was completed along the rear of the store/restaurant which connected the garage to the west and the storage unit to the east. In the mid 1970s as well, the shed addition covered with board and batten and shingled siding was built. ANALYSIS: A. Historical Background: Built as the La Fourcade Store and Gas Station, the subject structure continued to house businesses which served important community needs. First associated with the extensive viniculture enterprise of the John B. La Fourcade family and then with the grape growing and mercantile efforts of the Masi family, the structure also operated as the restaurant RoVal's, which was a local attraction along Route 66. The story of John La Fourcade represents an important link in the early history of the Cucamonga region. Migrating at the age of seventeen from La Houtan, France, the young man arrived in Pomona in the early 1890s, according to a 1922 Colton Daily Courier article. Along with the likes of Klusman, Garrett, Haven, and Milliken, La Fourcade accepted the challenges posed by the harsh HPC STAFF REPORT LD 91-02 - LA FOURCADE BUILDING September 5, 1991 Page 4 climate and embarked on a wine and raisin manufacturing venture, owning 800 acres in our Rochester area. At first transporting water from the above canyons, La Fourcade later drilled the area's deepest well at 630 feet from which he ran pipe across 460 acres at the purported cost of $33,000. Embarking on an ambitious construction project, La fourcade hired the San Bernardino-based designer and architect J. N. Robinson and from 1918 to 1922 had constructed bunk-like housing (for his permanent labor force composed primarily of single Mexican men) , wine manufacturing and storage buildings, company offices, a wagon repair shop, and a structure used for box making and packing, as well as the company store and local gas station. It was reported that La Fourcade was a fair and honest if ambitious man. The passage of Prohibition and the effects of World War II spurred the demise of the La Fourcade enterprise, and the family left the area in the early 1940s. Not much is known about the Huber family who owned the southwest corner of the Foothill/Rochester intersection from 1931 to 1942, but the Sebastian Masi family began renting the property upon their arrival in the area. Like La Fourcade before, the newly immigrated Italian family strove for success and by 1943 was able to purchase the site. Efforts to continue operating a grocery store were undertaken by the Masis and Jennie Masi in particular, and the family established themselves in the historic fabric of this region. B. Facts for Findings: Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding: The proposed Landmark/Point of Interest was connected with someone renowned and/or important. Fact: John B. La Fourcade established an advanced, extensive, and elaborate winemaking and grape handling business in an era marked by failed attempts at such endeavors in the Rochester/Cucamonga area. Well known throughout the County, La Fourcade represents an important epoch and entrepreneurial spirit of this valley. Finding: The architect or builder was important. Fact: In choosing J. N. Johnson to design and construct his winery complex, La Fourcade was one of few local property owners in the late teens-early 1920s to -mploy such a contractor like Johnson who was well known in the County. Johnson constructed many large public and private buildings in San Bernardino, Redlands, and Colton. ��4 7 HPC STAFF REPORT LD 91-02 - LA FOURCADE BUILDING September 5, 1991 Page 5 Historic Architectural and Engineering Significance: Finding: The construction materials used in this proposed Landmark/Point of Interest are unusual and significant. Fact: Although altered, the main entrance of the building-- marked by a parapet and flanked with Corinthian pilasters--remains as a testament to an entire design palate created by La Fourcade and Johnson unique to this area. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting: Finding: The proposed landmark in its location represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood, community, and City. Fact: As a gas station, store, and restaurant, the subject structure stands as a 70-year-old fixture in the community's landscape. C. Issues: The Masi family and their representatives request the immediate demolition of the La Fourcade Store. There also exists a desire to remove the building because of its recent use as a road house/topless bar. This demolition permit has been requested separately, but the structure's proposed destruction would normally be tied to the proposed Masi Commerce Center development. Case law pertaining to what is known as "splitting" a project under CEQA has created a significance preference for reviewing the potential negative effects of a proposed project with the project itself. Understanding this, staff has reviewed the included information about the Masi project in this report. To properly review this demolition request per CEQA, it needs to be treated as a project unto its own, requiring a separate environmental assessment. This report both makes the case for a Point of Interest Designation to be placed on the property and details a mitigation package for the loss of the La Fourcade Store if the demolition request is granted. After the Commission's review of this package, in the form of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, it will be forwarded to City Council. As the structure stands as the sole remaining testament to an early and successful agricultural enterprise and other entrepreneurial efforts, it is thus important to adequately address and mitigate its proposed demolition. The future incorporation of unique design elements and the creation of meaningful interpretations of the site's history will ensure the retention of the site's sense of time and place. While the above efforts touch upon some aspects of the site's significance, greater funding to the City's Oral History Program and the agricultural museum to be housed in the Chaffey- Garcia House barn would further reinforce and with probably greater permanence preserve the winemaking legacy of the region. A--5 Y HPC STAFF REPORT LD 91-02 - LA FOURCADE BUILDING September 5, 1991 Page 6 Another impact to the property will stem from the widening of Foothill Boulevard to its ultimate width. Such a project would align the most northern edge of the building with the curb edge (see Exhibit HPC-8) and thus create a significant impact on the resource. D. Environmental Assessment: Any future landmark designation would be exempt from CEQA under Article 19, Section 15380. If properly mitigated for, the demolition of the La Fourcade Store would not require any further environmental review and staff would then recommend the issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration. Proposed mitigations are listed in the Recommendation section of this report. CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, property owners within 300 feet of the project site have been notified, and staff has inspected the property. The property owners are aware of this review process and were sent a copy of this staff report. RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels that although altered, the La Fourcade Store is worthy of a local landmark designation. Due to these alterations and previously expressed owner objections to the retention and landmarking of the structure, staff recommends that the Commission forward an Historic Point of Interest designation to the City Council. The following related mitigation measures are recommended to ease the impact of the proposed demolition of the site and would accompany a Negative Declaration issued for the proposed demolition. 1 . No demolition permits shall be issued for the existing structures prior to the property owner's written acknowledgment and acceptance of the Cultural Resource Mitigation Measures per the Mitigated Negative Declaration. 2. The development of the site shall incorporate details of the site's history, in particular the La Fourcade period, through the incorporation of the following measures: commissioned public art and development and placement of interpretive public displays. The final specifications of such measures shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and forwarded with a recommendation to the Planning Commission during development/design review hearings on any development proposal for this site. Final approval of the appropriate public art and interpretive displays shall occur prior to the issuance of building permits. 3. The decorative parapet at the northeast corner of the building dating from the La Fourcade period shall be removed during demolition and be examined by a structural engineering consultant hired by the owner and approved by the City Planner to determine the possibility of its reuse. City staff shall be present during this demolition to inspect the parapet. If A . fO 9 HPC STAFF REPORT LD 91-02 - LA FOURCADE BUILDING September 5, 1991 Page 7 after examination restoration proves feasible, the parapet element shall be considered for incorporation into the above public art or interpretive exhibit. If the reuse of this element is not feasible, it shall be documented per HABS/HAER standards, the final form of which shall be approved by the City Planner. 4. The developer shall contribute $25,000 to the Chaffey Garcia House Barn project, which will be used to develop a museum/cultural center depicting and exhibiting the agricultural heritage of the area. The City Council may allocate these funds to another similar type of preservation project depending upon the timing of the compliance with this mitigation. This contribution shall be provided prior to the issuance of building permits of any phase of the Masi Commerce Center. 5. The site developer shall sponsor four Oral History interviews of individuals knowledgeable of the La Fourcade/Masi era of significance. These interviews, which shall not exceed a cost of $5,000, shall be conducted by a consultant approved by City staff. Respectfully submitted, Larr J.

DESIGN GUIDELINES A. ACTIVITY CENTERS: Activity centers are selected intersections along the Foothill Boulevard corridor defined as'Theme"or 'Statement"areas which"be" together the visual aspects of the Foothill Boulevard corridor through the aty, promote concentrated activity at these areas,and give identity and theme to the areas in which they are located.The activity centers are located contiguous to Foothill Boulevard as indicated in Figure 2. ACTIVITY CENTERS U W 2 2 M W W W < Y W S J W � V O Q Figure 2-Activity Center Locations Because three corners of the Haven Avenue intersection are fully or partially developed,the devel- opment provisions of the activity center are limited to those streetscape and landscape improvements within the public right-of-way.Therefore,many of the following standards apply only to the Milliken Avenue and Rochester Avenue activity centers: i. Str"twaps: a. All building orientations will relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage.The building setback areas will be enhanced pedestrian zones with special hardscape materials,formal landscape arrange- ments,and pedestrian level lighting. b. Stieetscape elements such as bollards,crosswalks with special paving materials,light standards,and street furniture should be uniform throughout the Foothill Boulevard corridor. C. The concept within the activity center is to incorporate a formal,regularly spaced, street tree planting system utilizing a palette of informally shaped,colorful trees. d. The urban or formal streetscape design characteristic of the activity center should extend along Foothill Boulevard and secondary/intersecting streets to a point of logical transition to the suburban parkway.Typically,the design will extend to at least the first driveway or as modified through the design review process.The extent of the urban streetscape should be able to adjust to changes in public right- of-way conditions,such as right turn lanes and bus bays. sunvtEMENrV%d Page 4 �!S h r v of y c „c onaa Item: i on Title: /il«7'Ntt� 4 MEL�Tt�l' Ezhibit: scale: /S� a i9ve �. 1926 c..19f�fo c. t9'77- ITEM: Clt7 i a oaga TITLE: B��;; i on EXHIBIT:iM-4SCALE: !'C I''1 EXlG,�1tl G,e�� ftvt�s✓ivbj e N CL MON --------------- ct rwTmLL et'vo ' G•t� S"TbRL.l1�GEStDF�lC� au t . c :: c . oa a . uRCE S 7 q, Y.

A. Recitals. (i) The City has filed an application for a Point of Interest as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Point of Interest is referred to as the "application. " (ii) On September 5, 1991, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. (iii) All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1 . This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part "A," of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. The application applies to approximately one acre of land, basically a rectangular configuration, located on the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester (Orange) Avenue intersection. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on September 5, 1991 , including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, and pursuant to Section 2.24.090 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, and pursuant to the Historic Preservation Commission policy regarding landmark designation over an owner's objection, this Commission hereby makes the following findings and facts: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding: 1 . The proposed Point of Interest was connected with someone renowned, important, or a local personality. Fact/s: John B. LaFourcade established an advanced and elaborate winemaking and grape-handling business in an 4 12 HPC RESOLUTION NO. 91-05 POI 91-02 - LaFOURCADE STORE September 5, 1991 Page 2 era marked by failed attempts at such endeavors in the Rochester/Cucamonga area. Seemingly well known throughout the County, LaFourcade represents an important epoch and entrepreneurial spirit of this valley. Finding: 2. The architect or builder was important. Fact/s: In choosing J. N. Johnson to design and construct his winery complex, LaFourcade was one of few local property owners in the late teens-early 1920s to employ a contractor who was very well known in the County. Johnson constructed many large and impressive public and private buildings in San Bernardino, Redlands, and Colton. B. Historic Architectural and Engineering Significance: Finding: 1 . The construction materials or engineering methods used in the proposed Point of Interest are unusual or significant or uniquely effective. Fact/s: Although it has been altered, the main entrance of the building which is marked by a parapet and flanked with Corinthian pilasters, remains as a testament to a design palette created by LaFourcade and Johnson which was unique to this area. C. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting: Finding: 1 . The proposed Point of Interest in its location represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood, community, or city. Fact/s: As a gas station, store, and restaurant, the subject structure stands as a 70-year-old notable fixture in the community's landscape. 4. This Commission hereby finds that the project has been reviewed and considered for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. If properly mitigated, the requested demolition of the LaFourcade Store would not require further environmental review and a mitigated Negative Declaration will be issued for such demolition. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1 , 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby resolves that pursuant tj Chapter 2.24 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby approves, on the 5th day of September 1991 , Point of Interest 91-02 for the LaFourcade Store. The Commission further adopts the following Conditions of Approval mitigating the requested demolition: HPC RESOLUTION NO. 91-05 POI 91-02 - LaFOURCADE STORE September 5, 1991 Page 3 1 ) No demolition permits shall be issued for the existing structures prior to the property owner's written acknowledgment and acceptance of the Cultural Resource Mitigation Measures per the mitigated Negative Declaration. 2) The development of the site shall incorporate details of the site's history, in particular the LaFourcade period, through the incorporation of the following measures: commissioned public art and development and placement of interpretive public displays. The final specifications of such measures shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and forwarded with a recommendation to the Planning Commission during development/design review hearings on any development proposal for this site. Final approval of the appropriate public art and interpretive displays shall occur prior to the issuance of building permits. 3) The decorative parapet at the northeast corner of the building dating from the LaFourcade period shall be removed during demolition and be examined by a structural engineering consultant hired by the owner and approved by the City Planner to determine the possibility of its reuse. City staff shall be present during this demolition to inspect the parapet. If after examination restoration proves feasible, the parapet element shall be considered for incorporation into the above public art or interpretive exhibit. If the reuse of this element is not feasible, it shall be documented per NABS/HAER standards, the final form of which shall be approved by the City Planner. 4) The developer shall contribute $10,000 to the Chaffey-Garcia House Barn project, which will be used to develop a museum/cultural center depicting and exhibiting the agricultural heritage of the area. The City Council may, upon the input of the Historic Preservation Commission, allocate these funds to another similar type of preservation project, including but not necessarily limited to, the Historic Preservation Site and Land-Banking Fund, depending upon the timing of the compliance with this mitigation. This contribution shall be provided prior to the issuance of building permits of any phase of the Masi Commerce Center. 5) The site developer shall sponsor four Oral History interviews of individuals knowledgeable of the LaFourcade/Masi era of significance. These interviews, which shall not exceed a cost of $5,000, shall be conducted by a consultant approved by City staff. 4 -,2-4F / HPC RESOLUTION NO. 91-05 POI 91-02 - LaFOURCADE STORE September 5, 1991 Page 4 APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 5Th DAY OF SEPTEMBER 1991 .

Henderson, AICP, Principal Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND POINT OF INTEREST 91-02 FOR THE LaFOURCADE STORE - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Consideration of an application to designate the LaFourcade Store as a historic Point of Interest and review the level of appropriate mitigations for the demolition of the structure located at 11871 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 229-011-10. Staff recommends issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration. RECOlPOINDATION The Historic Preservation Commission and staff recommends issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of the application for historic Point of Interest 91-02 by the adoption of the attached Resolution. ENVIRONlMTAL ASSESSMMT Normally a Landmark designation would be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article 9, Section 15380. However, since the property owner is requesting demolition at the earliest possible time, a separate environmental documentation has been provided with the recommendation for the issuance of a Negative Declaration with mitigations. The proposed mitigations are listed in the Resolution attached to this report. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION On July 20, 1991, Jack Masi, through his representatives, requested the demolition of a building historically known as the LaFourcade Store, located at 11871 Foothill Boulevard. On August 21 , 1991, the Masi family successfully removed the structure's most recent occupant, the Cowgirl Theater. Masi Commerce Center Partners has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow approximately 280,000 square feet of mixed use, new construction on the 27-acre site that includes the subject parcel. The CUP application however is not complete. The Masi submittal includes proposed light industrial, multi-tenant commercial, religious, restaurant, financial, convenience and automotive uses. Pursuant to City policies, the Historic Preservation Commission, on August 1 , 1991 , initiated an application to CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT POI 91-02 - LaFOURCADE STORE September 18, 1991 Page 2 consider the historic status of the property and its significance in response to the demolition request. This review of the LaFourcade Store's demolition request is a part of the environmental assessment for such a project as required under CEQA. The Historic Preservation Commission met on September 5, 1991, and held a public hearing to consider the historic status of the property as well as a range of application alternatives, including Landmark Designation and Historic Point of Interest. The Commission voted (5 to 2) in favor of recommending the City Council adopt a Negative Declaration, with mitigation measures, for the demolition of this structure, and designation of the property a Historic Point of Interest. Commissioners Cooper and Haskvitz voted against the motion for recommendation for separate and different reasons. Commissioner Cooper voted against the motion indicating that she felt that local property owners and long-time residents should receive different treatment than individuals with development interests that come from outside of the City. Commissioner Haskvitz voted against the recommendation indicating that he felt the structure should not be demolished. The Historic Preservation Commission made modifications to the recommended Mitigation No. 4 which is reflected in the attached Resolution. The modification to Mitigation No. 4 included reducing the contribution to the Chaffey-Garcia House Barn or similar type project from $25, 000 to $10,000. In addition, language was added to clarify the relationship and role of the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council allocating these funds to other similar types of preservation projects. ANALYSIS The subject building was built as the LaFourcade Store and Gas Station; the subject structure continued to house businesses which served important community needs. First associated with the extensive viniculture enterprise of the John B. LaFourcade family, and then with the grape growing and mercantile efforts of the Masi family, the structure also operated as the restaurant "RoVal's" which was a local attraction on Route 66. The story of John LaFourcade represents an important link in the early history of the Cucamonga region. Migrating at the age of 17 from La Houtan, France, the young man arrive in Pomona in the early 1890s. Along with the likes of Klusman, Garrett, Haven, and Milliken, LaFourcade excepted the challenges posed by the harsh climate and embarked on a wine and raisin manufacturing venture, owning 800 acres in our Rochester area. At first transporting water from the above canyons, LaFourcade later drilled the area's deepest well at 630 feet from which he ran pipe across 460 acres at the purported cost of $33,000. Embarking on an ambitious construction project, LaFourcade hired the San Bernardino-based designer and architect J. N. Robinson. From 1918 to 1922, he had constructed bunk-like housing (for his permanent labor force composed primarily of single Mexican men) , wine manufacturing and storage f . 2 _�? Y CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT POI 91-02 - LaFOURCADE STORE September 18, 1991 Page 3 buildings, company offices, a wagon repair shop and a structure used for box making and packing, as well as the company store and local gas station. The passage of Prohibition and effects of World War II spurred the demise of the LaFourcade enterprise and the family left the area in the early 1940s. FACTS FOR FINDINGS The Facts for Findings for a Historic Point of Interest are detailed in the Resolution and the Historic Preservation Commission Staff Report dated September 5, 1991 . In general, the Facts for Findings comply with the City's Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance in three areas: historical and cultural significance; historical, architectural, and engineering significance; and neighborhood and geographic setting. While the structure has undergone a series of additions, which effectively negates the possibility of designating it as a Landmark over owner objection, the structure stands as the sole remaining testament to an early and successful agricultural enterprise and other entrepreneurial efforts; it is thus important to adequately address and mitigate its proposed demolition. The future incorporation of unique design elements and the creation of meaningful interpretations of the site's history will ensure the retention of the site's sense of time and place. While these efforts touch upon some aspects of the site's significance, greater funding to the City's Oral History Program and the agricultural museum (to be housed in the Chaffey-Garcia House Barn project) or similar type public project would further reinforce and preserve the wine making legacy of the region. CORRESPONDENCE This item has been advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property owners within 300 feet of the project have been notified, and staff has inspected the property. The property owners are aware of this review process and were sent a copy of this staff report.
