B. Integrity
Finding 1: Historic Landmarks must retain integrity from their period of
significance with respect to location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, association, or any combination of these
factors. A proposed landmark need not retain all such original
aspects, but must retain sufficient integrity to convey its historic,
cultural, or architectural significance. Neither the deferred
maintenance of a proposed landmark, nor its dilapidated condition
shall, on its own, be equated with a loss of integrity. Integrity shall be
judged with reference to the particular characteristics that support the
eligibility of the property.
Fact/s: According to the DPR 523 record form completed by
Chattel Architecture as part of the General Plan Update in 2010, the
proposed landmark retains high integrity from their period of
significance with respect to setting, location, materials,workmanship,
association, design and feeling. It retains sufficient integrity to
convey its historic, cultural, or architectural significance.
4. This Council hereby finds that the project has been reviewed and considered in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the
Guidelines promulgated thereunder. The Council finds that this Landmark Designation is
exempt under CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15331, as a Class 31
exemption (Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation).
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this
Council hereby resolves that, pursuant to Section 17.18.020 of the Rancho Cucamonga
Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby recommends
