SUBJECT UPDATE OF THE HISTORIC LANDMARK AND POINT OF INTEREST
PLAQUE PROGRAM
BACKGROUND There is currently a program in place to identify and designate the
historical landmarks and points of interest throughout the City of Rancho Cucamonga The
current program uses bronze plaques that are mounted on boulders Though effective, this
• program is costly to implement An example of this type of identification is shown in Exhibit
"A."The current program was implemented in 1991. It has become apparent that a much
larger scale and more cost efficient program is needed since the City of Rancho
Cucamonga now boasts a total of 51 designated Historic Landmarks and 22 Points of
Interest
The program update that we are submitting for your consideration is a bronze plaque
measuring approximately 11 inches by 7 inches which will be attached to a Victorian Style
mailbox An illustration of the plaque is shown in Exhibit "B "The plaque will be headed by
the City of Rancho Cucamonga's crest (grape logo) and the text will read
City of Rancho Cucamonga
Historic Point of InteresUHistoncal Landmark
-Year built-
-Actual Historical Name-
The mailbox to which the plaque is bwlt into is in the Victorian Style, and is constructed of
bronze colored cast aluminum The dimensions of the mailbox are as follows 44 niches
tall, from base to top, 15'/z inches wide, and 10'/~ niches deep A photograph of the type
of mailbox to be used is attached as Exhibit "C "
In 1999 the City allocated $20,000 00 for the current historical sign program This
• allotment was to expand the ability to identify not dust certain historic cites and points of
interest but to make the option of having a plaque a reality for all owners of historic sites
The update will make this plan a reality, and make it possible to fully implement the
program This program will remain voluntary for the property owner and may be used with
