Addressing the City Council were: City Council Minutes September 19, 2001 Page 6 Luana Hernandez, 6797 Hellman, stated they have a historical home and love it very much. She hopes the Council will approve the request to designate this a historic home. She felt the historical homes should be shared with the community. John Ellis, speaking on behalf of ,Joe and Linda Walker, stated they want to save this historical home as well as the eucalyptus trees by declaring it with a historical landmark status. He stated possibly in the future they may apply for a CUP, but that is in the future. He stated the Walkers have searched to see if this can be a wedding venue by talking to the City and an architect. He stated the architect had talked with the neighbors in the area. He added staff told him this is not zoned commercial, but added they could apply for the historic landmark and that it would help to save the trees. He continued to talk about the process they went through to turn this into a historic landmark. He stated they are concerned about the neighbors and want to make sure they create no traffic problems on Archibald. He asked that the Council make this a historic landmark. He added he is aware the landmark designation does not give him the authority to start construction. Councilmember Dutton stated he does not want him to think because the historic landmark designation is approved he can go ahead with a project. Mr. Ellis stated he understands this. Councilmember Williams asked him if he felt staff told him he would be able to proceed if he is granted the designation. Mr. Ellis stated he was not told this. Councilmember Dutton asked him if he knows the process to obtain a CUP. Mr. Ellis stated they are working with their team and talking to City staff. Councilmember Williams felt they should get professional assistance if they pursue the CUP. Russ Warner, resident of Rancho Cucamonga, stated they only found out about this a few weeks ago. He stated they do not see the Walkers as good neighbors. Joel Cascadden, 9729 Sunflower, stated this is a complete shock to them. He has written a letter and asked for the Council to come to the area to see this. He felt they could take pride in this property without it being designated a historic landmark. He stated he objects to the landmark status. Craig Welch, 9715 Sunflower, stated he also opposes this designation. He felt if this is approved, they would have to be back whenever it changes owners. Shawn Stone, 9728 Sunflower, stated he does not agree with a commercial use of this property and stated he would not like that around his house. He stated he has not ever been contacted by the owners to talk about their plans for the property. Helen Neal wanted to know why this building is history and questioned the tax break they would get. She stated she is against the historic landmark. Demara Nuzum, 9719 Manzanita, felt there should be an EiR done before the project is approved. She stated she has never been contacted. She stated everyone knows now what their intent is. She felt the EIR should have been done first. City Council Minutes September 19, 2001 Page ? Devon Hartman, architect, talked about the process they have gone through. He asked that the discussion stick with the historic landmark designation. He felt the people should talk to the planners of the City. There being no further input, the public hearing was closed. Councilmember Williams asked about the size of the property and asked if they could build another building on it even if they are not given the designation. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated they could. Councilmember Williams continued to inquire what could be done with the property. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the historic designation is identification of the property and that it has a criteria that nothing can occur on the property without review by the Historic Preservation Commission. Councilmember Biane inquired aboutra permit process to demolition a structure. James Markman, City Attorney, stated if this is not historically designated and there is enough property there, and there is enough value in the land as distinguished from the old house, they can demolish that building on a ministerial permit application, which means there is no discretion and all they have to do is meet the building code requirements for doing a demolition. He added they can clear off the property and subdivide it to make two lots. Councilmember Dutton asked if when people want to make a piece of property a historic landmark could we require them to submit their plans for the preservation of the property as a condition of the designation. Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated not everyone has an idea of what they are going to do with the property and that this may be a burden on the owner. Councilmember Williams inquired if there is a business license permit. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated they have a Home Occupancy Permit for office use only. Councilmember Curatalo stated she sympathizes with the neighbors, but felt it should be a historic landmark. Mayor Alexander stated he does not oppose the historic landmark, but did not agree with making this commercial. He felt the owners would have a big hurdle to get this approved. Councilmember Williams stated she did not agree with the commercial use, but would like to see it protected as it is now. She stated she would like to protect the home. MOTION: Moved by Councilmember Dutton to deny the designation because of the owner's intent to develop this into a commercial use. Councilmember Williams asked how Home Occupancy Permits are controlled. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated they are controlled by observations of neighbors and are complaint driven. He stated sometimes staff sees what is going on through a "windshield survey'' drive by encounter. He felt it might be a good idea to give all the surrounding neighbors the criteria for Home Occupation Permit so they can observe and watch what is going on at this site. He added if a complaint is received by a neighbor, they would investigate to see if it is being treated as commercial and then there could be enforcement. City Council Minutes September 19, 2001 Page 8 Councilmember Biane felt the neighbors would be impacted by this being turned into a commercial use and felt if the Walkers sell this they would make money off of it. He felt the historic designation should not be granted. Mayor A~exander stated he is in favor of the designation, but not for a commercial use. Councilmember Dutton asked if this could be made a historic landmark designation, but the owners told this has to be kept residential use only. Brad Buller, City Planner, the designation is simply an identification of the historic value that it is not conditioned other than it has to go through a process to be altered beyond what it is being considered as historic. He stated this is per our Ordinance. Councilmember Biane felt possibly something should be changed in the Ordinance to keep this from happening. Brad Buller, City Planner, felt the code could be looked at, including the section that allows those alternatives, to see if it has benefited historic preservation and is it a good thing to have and try to evaluate the current activity of those CUP's. He did not think the code should be modified if it is to simply out of concern for the future if we are not experiencing it. James Markman, City Attorney, stated the problem is not the historic designation. He added the City has a zoning code that intends to restrict commercial opportunities in residentia~ areas to historically designated properties for unique opportunities, i.e., the Christmas House. He continued to state the owner could come in and ask for a Development Agreement and seek the same use. He stated maybe the answer is to designate this to protect it against what could happen to it, and direct staff to take away what is bothering the people in the neighborhood. MOTION: Moved by Dutton, seconded by Biane to take no action on the item tonight so they can see if the code can be changed. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated they would get the input and review the Ordinance from the Historic Preservation Commission and advise the neighbors so they can participate in this, and would readvertise this item when it is ready to come back with options for the Council to review.
