1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has filed an application for a Point of Historic Interest
as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Point of
Historic Interest is referred to as "the application."
2. On August 9, 1995, the Historic Preservation Commission conducted a public hearing
on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.
3. On September 20, 1995, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted
a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded the hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the City Council
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part "A," of this Resolution are true and correct.

3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the above-

Resolution No. 95-125

a. Historical and Cultural Significance:
Finding 1:
The proposed Point of Historic Interest was connected
with someone renowned or important or a local
personality.
Fact/s:
Oral interviews with Buster Filippi (nephew in-law of Nick
DiCarlo), confirmed building records that the Etivista
Winery was started in 1936. The winery was a
partnership between Nick DiCarlo, Frank Shiro, and
Buster Filippi. Undoubtedly this winery was part of the
tremendous growth in wine-making experienced at the
end of prohibition. These three families were very
instrumental in the establishment of the ethnically diveme
vintner community of the Cucamonga Valley Wine
Region.
Finding 2:
The proposed Point of Historic Interest is connected with
a business or use which was once common but is now
rare.
Fact/s:
In terms of historical significance, the winery did not play
a significant historical role in the winery industry of the
region; i.e., there were, and are, other sites that were
larger and operated longer. The major historical
significance is that the original partnership was
composed of related family members that were active in
the wine-making region from the early 1900s to the
1970s at other sites. At the height of winery production,
the Cucamonga Winery Region boasted 99 operating
wineries. Presently, there are approximately 6 remaining
sites that retain varying degrees of historical value within
the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
4. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the project identified above in this
Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,
as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15308.
5. The City Council hereby declares its intent to limit the future historical/cultural impact
mitigation to a requirement to include an appropriately designed standard City plaque upon
development of the subject site.
6. Based upon the findings and conclusions setforth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
the City Council hereby resolves that pursuant to Chapter 2.24 of the Rancho Cucamonga
Municipal Code, thatthe City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby approves Point of HistoricInterest
95-01.
7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
