Preserving Rancho Cucamonga 606 Project Proposal
Purpose
The purpose of this proposal is to design a preservation program for Rancho Cucamonga, focusing
on the acquisition and planning of several properties located along the Rancho Cucamonga foothills.
The program will integrate and expand historic education and tourism opportunities within the city
while simultaneously planning Eor regional watershed and natural resource protection.
Background
Suaounded by the San Gabriel Mountains, Rancho Cucamonga is a growing dry with abundant
natural resources, a temperate Mediterranean climate, and access to numerous recreational activities.
It is located approximately 37 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and 40 miles east of Los Angeles,
on dte edge of a rapidly developing area known as the Inland Empire. Three major freeways give
access to the community. the 15 freeway provides north-south access from the east, the newly
constmcted 210 freeway has opened east-west access to the north, while the 10 freeway maintains
east-west access to the south. The southern edge of the city is bordered by the Ontario In[emational
Airport. Rancho Cucamonga is one of the fastest growing metropolitan azeas in the United States, yet
it remains one of the safest dries in the country and a desirable place to Gve.t Part of its charts lies in
the unique history of the azea, still visible throughout many parts of the dry.
The Kucamongan Native Americans first established themselves in the area azound 1200 A.D. They
settled neaz a landmass now known as Red Hill, located in the center of current Rancho Cucamonga
city jurisdiction.z Most sources agree that the name Cucamonga was derived from a Native American
word meaning "sandy place."3 The Kucamongan people were part of the Gabrielino or Tongva
culture. They lived off the land, gathering and hunting local Foods and animals, utilizing the water
that drained from the Cucamonga Falls down through its canyons into the alluvial plains.4 Native
Americans thrived for many years, until the arrival of the missionaries in the 1700s. When Mexico
won i[s independence from Spain in the eazly 1800s, the land in southern California was opened up
for granting. In 1839 Tubercio Tapia, a soldier and poGtidan, was granted 13,000 acres in the area
called "Cucamonga" from the new governor of Mexico, Juan Bautista Alvarado. Using Indian labor,
Tapia constmcted an adobe home and raised great herds of cattle on his land. He also began a
successful winery, remnants of which still stand today.s
In 1887, the availability of water and transportation enticed settlers to move into the azea. Extensive
irrigation tunnels were dug into the Cucamonga canyon, mostly by the hands of Chinese laborers.
These water features supported the fatmirtg of citrus, olives, peaches and other crops. The climate
and soil in Rancho Cucamonga were also suitable for growing grapes, and the dty became known for
i[s virteyazds and wine making.b Rancho Cucamonga was also known for its location at the
conjunction of several historic trails: the Mojave trail, the Old Spanish trail, the Santa Fe trail, El
Camino Real, and U.S. Route 66.E In the 1900s, the citrus groves in the Inland Empire were a
welcome sight Eor travelers on Route 66.8 Several remnants still remain along the historic route,
which include a 1920s pumping station and garage, a restored 100-yeaz old farmhouse that sells
antiques, and a landmark restaurant built in 1957. Rancho Cucamonga is proud of its heritage and
supports preservation of many historic structures along the route.

Preserving Rancho Cucamonga 606 Project Proposal
Rancho Cucamonga is rich in natural resources. It is encompassed by the San Gabriel River
Watershed, which contains tluee major tributaries: Walnut Creek, San Jose Creek, and Coyote Creek.
A number of other smaller creeks, streams, and jurisdictional wetlands feed into the watershed.
Surrounding the dry aze the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains which contain extensive trail
systems and wildlife connections. The San Gabriel Mountains aze home to threatened and
endangered species such as the Mountain Yellow-Legged frog9 and the beautiful flowering Mt.
Gleason Paintbmsh.10 The mountains aze also home to the re-introduced black beaz and bighorn
sheep, animals whose territories in southern California continue to be severely threatened by
development and the loss of habitat."~12Though they contain numerous valuable resources, these
mountains also present natural hazazds for dry dwellers. The chaparral and pine forests in southern
California are subject to frequent foes. Once burned, baze sofls aze eroded by winter storms and the
accumulated sediment load is associated with downstream flooding and debris flows.13
With the current population reaching over 137,000, the need to fulfill housing and recreational needs
in Rancho Cucamonga is high.'^ Once a center of agriculture, Rancho Cucamonga has evolved into a
self-suffiaent town complete with shopping and office developments. The growing dry has added
over 40,000 residents since 2000J5 Unfortunately, space is running out for the housing and amenities
desired by these residents, and development threatens sensitive historical, cultural and ecological
resources within the azea. Developing a plan to ensure the surctival of these resources is important
for Rancho Cucamonga's future, and plays a part in encouraging tourism and long-term community
value. "in the end, a great city relies on those things that engender for its citizens a peculiar and
strong attachment that distinguishes one speafic place from all others."'~ A distinguished city can
attract tourism which can boost local economies. As Braivel Holcomb points out in The Tourist Cdy,
many of the qualities that attract touests aze "heritage," range of accommodations, museums, night
life, and culinary offerings. I fe describes the typical tourist image of a place including "a
romanticized, nostalgic sense of history and culture."'~ As most of the historical places in Rancho
Cucamonga aze intermixed with valuable natural resources, there is an opportunity to enhance and
mazket these places while protecting and preserving the natural beauty that surrounds them.
The Rancho Cucamonga Conservancy
In response to threats to the resources in the azea, Rancho Cucamonga has formed anon-profit land
conservanry to help prioritize and create plans for the use and protection of sensitive and important
]andscapes within the city. The Rancho Cucamonga Conservanry, headed by Danae Delaney, hopes
to accomplish several goals within the context of land acquisition, including natural resource
protection and educational outreach. The Conservancy also hopes to preserve cultural and historical
resources in Rancho Cucamonga with the realization that resource protection and cultural identity aze
often interrelated issues. Succinctly put by Brown and Mitchell in a recent amide pubhshed in The
George WirBbt Forum, an emerging trend lies in the "growing rmderstanding of the link between nature
and culture: that healthy landscapes are shaped by human culture as well as the forces of nature, that

rich biological diversity often coincides with cultural diversity, and that conservation canno[ be
undertaken without the involvement of those people closest to the resources".18
Natural Resource Protection & the Role olStewardship
One of the main goals of the Conservancy is to promote natural resource protection in the
community of Rancho Cucamonga. The care and protection of natural resources requires a
combined effort between govemment and community members. Respect and caze for the land is
often cultivated through land stewazdship, which can be developed through people's meaningful
experiences with historic and natural places. Investigations into the development of a land
stewazdship ethic have found that experiences which "[emphasize] the integration of people and
nature, no[ the attempted isolation of one from the other"t~ aze more likely to create stewazds of the
land. `l'he Conservanry hopes to encourage people's interactions with these natural and historic
places, as these interactions are the basis of land stewardship and ultimately reinforce local
responsibility for resource management. Studies have found that stewazdship efforts aze mos[
successful when combined with a strong govemment role as well as private initiatives?a Because of
this, it is imperative that the dty, the community and the conservancy support any program geared
towazds protecting important landscapes in Rancho Cucamonga.
Rancho Cucamonga's tiry polities as well as their 2001 General Plant reflect objectives that are
consistent with Conservancy goals to preserve cultural and historical heritage. The City supports the
protection of "Landmark" properties by providing tax aedits and incentives, California I-herttage
Fund Grant Program information, National Tmst for Historic Preservation loan information, and
more flexible building codes for Landmark properties?r The City has also created historic bike tour
maps, which offer residents various tours through the historic homes, wineries and places oERancho
Cucamonga. The General Plan states that Rancho Cucamonga is devoted to rherishittg their legacy,
and points out that "the preservation or adaptive reuse of remaining agricultural artifac[s such as
wineries symbolizes out rich and diverse agricultural heritage."u The plan repeatedly mentions the
City's desire to respect and expand its historic heritage. The City has conceived of aMulti-Purpose
Open Space Planning concept whose primary in[ent is to "preserve significant visual resources,
sensitive wildlife habitats, lands supportive of our water resources, historic and cultural resources,
and recreational spaces."21 This concept includes designations for Open Space and Conservation
Areas in the foothill region. However it does not spedfy locations of cultural, historc, or ecological
resources, and the plan calls for a large number of I-Iillside Residential azeas to remain as such
regazdless of their potential as public resources.
Although the Rancho Cucamonga Conservanry currently lacks a formal plan for prioritizing land
acquisition, they have identified several properties in the city that meet their goals for resource and
cultural heritage preservation. Two of these properties, the Carrari Ranch and the King Family Trust,
aze currently being investigated by the Conservancy for acquisition. Once acquired, both properties
would need appropriate site design planning as well as outreach programming. The Cartari Ranch is
home to multiple streams, riparian habitats, almost an acre of jurisdictional wetlands and coast live
oak woodlands. The woodlands and chaparral on this 670-acre property provide shelter, nesting

habitat, and foraging habitat for the azea's wildlife. The site has sensitive prehistoric and Mstoric
resources. There are five recorded archaeological sites in or near the property including ground lithics
(artifacts made of stone) and apre-1900s rural residence.24 This property, which is being considered
for development, provides a direct connection between Rancho Cucamonga and the San Bemazdino
National Forest. The 220 acre King Family Trust Property, which lies directly to the West of the
Carrari Ranch, provides similaz habitat resources and possesses historic and cultural features that
include orange and lemon groves, a barn built in the 1920s, and an original reservoir built by Chinese
labor in the 1800s.
Acquiring sites such as the Carrari Ranch and the King Family Trust property would provide
connections to other parcels of protected ]and, forming valuable wildlife comdors in the San Gabriel
Mountains. These sites are ideal for creating experiential education and outreach programs. The
riparian zones within the Carnri Ranch pro~ride an opportunity to teach Native American uses of
streams and riparian vegetation. The orange and lemon groves, along with the historic water reservoir
on the King Family Trust property lend themselves to educational programs on farming and water
resources. Together, these properties provide a comparative, multi-cultural view of resource
management.
Educadona/Heritage
In addition to natural resource preservation, the Conservanry hopes to create an educational heritage
program. "We preserve heritage places because they form a link with our past."u Connecting with
the history of those who lived before us can be inspiring and educational. There aze several types of
historic places that provide ideal teaming environments for heritage education. For Rancho
Cucamonga, farrrting played an integral role in both the economic and cultural history of the area.
"As a piece of living history that can teach about yesterday and today, farms, espedally those that
have been in operation for many years, are fascinating to visit". Farms are established due to their
proximity to water and transportation, which can help people to understand patterns of settlement
and predict future development. Farms can also help connect people with the land by teaching where
and how food was and is produced locally. In the educational environment, visiting these sites makes
more of an impact on students than learning about them in a book as it "takes history off the pages
of the textbook, recreating some of the exatement of historical reseazch and contributing to an
empathetic understanding of the past"~l
I listoric farm buildings can be a repository of cultural history. Farm houses "document methods,
skills, and craftsmanship of the builders, the economic and social status of the owners, the use of
local building materials, ways of controlling climate and environment, and the family's evoh-ing
lifestyle as reflected in the design of the house."za L.eaming about local building materials can
stimulate conversations about sustainable development and the en~~ronmental as well as economic
costs of development Buildings give identity to a place. A building's design, style, evolution, history
and relationship to other buildings and to the landscape of the azea identify a aty, town, rural or
urban neighborhood as a unique and spatial place.

The goal of this project is to integrate and expand historical resource education and [ourism
opportunities within the aty of Rancho Cucamonga while planning Eor regional watershed and
natural resource protection.
Issues
1. Urban development threatens to degrade natural resources in Rancho Cucamonga
2. Historic and cultural resources in Rancho Cucamonga aze fragmented and disconnected
3. The Rancho Cucamonga Conservancy lacks a formal plan for prioritizing land acquisition
4. Rancho Cucamonga lacks a regional vision for providing wildlife connections and corridors
5. The city of Rancho Cucamonga lacks design guidelines for future land acquisitions which
would preserve the culture, history and ecology of Rancho Cucamonga
Objectives and Methods
1. Protect natural resources by establishing a land acquisition plan and building community
stewardship
2. Connect and protect cultural and historic resources through educational and tourism
programming and physical connections
3. Develop a land acquisition plan for Rancho Cucamonga based on ecological and cultural
factors such as: endangered and threatened species, erosion issues, fire and Qood issues,
habitat protection, historical character, and prehistoric and historically sensitive areas
4. Develop a regional conservation vision that enforces Rancho Cucamonga's goals and
establishes connections with neighboring protected lands
5. Develop conceptual plans and design guidelines for preserving the natural, ecological,
and cultural heritage of the Carrari Ranch and King Family Trust properties
Scope of{~otk
Project Orientation and Rereanb
The main objective of this phase is to investigate the existing and proposed cultural, historical and
ecological resources of Rancho Cucamonga. Insight will be acquired through site visits to the San
Bemazdino Museum, the historic Fehpe Winery, the proposed Red f Iill Pazk, the Carrara Ranch, the
King Family Trust, and other properties identified by the Rancho Cucamonga Conservanry.
Gathering information will help the group develop a working understanding of the environmental,
physical, cultural, and social implications of devebping a cultural heritage and natural resource
program for Rancho Cucamonga. Aspects of this phase can include formal or informal city
meetings, meetings with stakeholders, and a formal presentation of the gathered information to the
606 Studio and client. These initial impressions and data will assist in res~ising the scope of work and
identifying further reseazch questions and typologies.

THE 606 STUDIO
The 606 Studio is a consortium of faculty and graduate students in the Department of Landscape
Architecture at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. The Studio promotes the
application of advanced methods of analysis and design with particulu emphasis on the preservation
Preserving Rancho Cucamonga 606 Project Proposal
and restoration of sensitive natural systems. Projects address serious and important ecological, social
and aesthetic issues related to urban, suburban, astral or natural landscapes.
Projects aze carried out by teams of third-yeaz graduate students and members of the graduate
faculty. Working with the direction and continuous partiaparion of the faculty group, graduate
students perform the tasks of research, analysis, planning and presentation. Design approaches vary
considerably depending on the scope and character of the project, and will address a combination of
ecological, sodal, cultural, and aesthetic issues. Despite these variations, all projects utilize the
framework of Ecosystematic Design as developed by the Cal Poly Pomona graduate program. This
approach stresses sensitive understanding of principles of ecology in relation to human uses.
Projects result in professionally printed reports that may include conceptual plans, schematic site
designs, land use plans, or management studies. Past projects have covered a wide variety of topics,
including:
• greenway planning and design
• urban design
• historic preservation
• watershed planning
• open space and habitat management
• campus Planning
• park and recreation design
• tourism planning

Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager /~~
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Directory-~
BY: Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner (~
SUBJECT: Historic Preservation
Over the past 5-10 years, staff has been working on Historic Preservation as applications
were received or as time permitted. The program lost a fulltime Historic Preservation
Planner during the early 90's and due to the cities rapid growth often the Advance Planning
staffs focus was redirected to currently planning applications. During the past eight months
to a year, the Advance Planning Division of the Planning Department has been focusing
again on the Historic Preservation Program. The department has hired two planners, whose
main focus is revitalizing the program, developing policies and procedures, and creating a
public outreach program.
Staff has identified long term program goals to address the programs continuing needs. The
main focus for the program is to update the Historic Preservation Ordinance. Staff is in the
process of forming a stakeholders group in order to solicit community input on the new
'ordinance. The draft ordinance is expected to be ready for review by January 2008 and for
adoption in -July of 2008. Additionally, staff intends to create guidelines to administer the
Mills Act program in the new Historic Preservation Ordinance. Inclusion of the program in
the new ordinance will establish clear regulations and guidelines to ensure better protection
of the City's valuable historic resources.
Staff will be presenting the Historic Preservation Program goals, programs and
improvements at the joint City Council and Planning Commission Meeting.

FROM: James R. Troyer, AICf~~ ,
Planning Director ~l//q~~
BY: Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF SELF-SERVICE STORAGE FACILTIES
RECOMMENDATION: That Planning staff be directed to hold study sessions with the Planning
Commission to finalize a Development Code Amendment implementing recommendations on
self storage facilities to be forwarded to City Council for consideration at a later date.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
As part of the City Council goals for 2007, the City Council asked for the Planning Department
to conduct a survey and analysis of self storage facilities citywide. On July 2, 2007, -staff
submitted a staff report to Council and found a total of 13 self storage facilities with a total of
10,642 available units/spaces (Attachment A). On October 17, 2007 staff presented a follow up
report, recommending that self storage facilities be prohibited in all residential and commercial
zones and requiring a conditional use permit for. all self storage facilities in all zones
(Attachment B). In order for staff to be able to fully evaluate the proposed development code
amendment and its implications on property owners and the development community, staff
proposes to hold study sessions with the Planning Commission to review and refine the
proposed changes to self storage standards.

Who's Using Self-Storage?
Understanding renter characteristics is the key to predicting self-storage demand and growth markets. Like all commercial real
estate segments, demand is tied to several factors, including population growth, household formation, rental household growth, and
acceptance of self-storage as a viable option for space needs. Self-storage's pervasiveness is apparent through user market
studies. For instance, of the estimated 112 million U.S. households, approximately 10 million, or about 9 percent, currently are
renting self-storage for personal use. This is up from 6 percent a decade ago. Another 1.4 million commercial businesses also are
estimated to be renting self-storage. Additionally, 24.5 million households have used self-storage in the past five years, with an
estimated 7.3 million renters intending to lease self-storage space within the next 12 months.

SUBJECT: SELF STORAGE FACILfTY SURVEY IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA
As part of the City Council goals for 2007 the City Council asked for the Planning
Department to do a survey and analysis of self storage facilities citywide. Attached is a
spreadsheet and map outlining self storage facilities in Rancho Cucamonga. As of
July 3, 2007 there are thirteen self-storage .facilities located in the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. As demographics play a factor in where these businesses can be located;
the majority of facilities are located south of Foothill Boulevard in the Industrial Zoned
areas. The storage facilities contain anywhere from 335 to 2000 units. Each facility
caters to the different needs of its clientele; from boat/RV parking to enclosed square
footage for personal belongings.
The majority of the storage facilities have 50 percent or higher in occupancy rates, with
exceptions being those that have just recently opened or will be opening in the near
future. Staff will review our self storage requirements in the future to ensure that storage
facilities are not placed in locations of high commercial viability. Please let me know if
you have any questions regarding this report.

SUBJECT: SELF-SERVICE STORAGE FACILTIES SURVEY
RECOMMENDATION: That Planning staff present to City Council a recommendation to process
a Development Code Amendment requiring all self storage facilities to require a Conditional Use
Permit and prohibit self storage facilities in all residential and general commercial zones.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
As a follow-up to aself-service storage facility survey completed in July 2007, staff is providing
a comparison of self-service storage facility regulations from surrounding cities for a comparison
to Rancho Cucamonga's self-service storage facility regulations. Staff reviewed the self-service
storage facility regulations of ten neighboring cities (Fontana, Claremont, San Bernardino,
Chino, Upland, Redlands, San Dimas, Montclair, Moreno Valley and Corona) and found three
characteristics of most self-storage regulations.
1. Location: Nine of the surveyed cities allowed self-service storage facilities in industrial
and commercial type zones. Rancho Cucamonga allows these facilities in residential,
industrial and general commercial zones.
2. Permit: Seven of the ten surveyed cities required conditional use permits for all zones.
Some cities allowed self-service storage facilities as a permitted use in Industrial
zones, or for ancillary uses. Rancho Cucamonga allows these facilities as a permitted
use in industrial zones and requires a conditional use permit for the General
Commercial and Residential zones:
3. Use: All of the cities except for Fontana allowed self-service facilities as a primary use
within their city. One city, Claremont, restricted the use as ancillary only within
specified commercial zones. Rancho Cucamonga allows self-service storage facilities
to be a primary use in all approved zones.
A closer look at the cities shows that self-service storage facilities are allowed in similar zones.
Every city allowed self-service storage facilities in some of their Commercial and Industrial
zones, except for Corona which allowed them in Light Industrial zones only. The cities were also
very similar in their uses. Every city except Fontana, Chino and Claremont allowed primary use
in all approved zones. Claremont allowed primary use in two zones, but ancillary use only in
Commercial Freeway and Commercial Highway. Chino allowed primary use in Industrial zones
but ancillary use only (max 5,000 sq.ft.) in their Business Park. Fontana did not allow self-
service storage facilities to be a primary use anywhere in the city, allowing them only as
ancillary uses to commercial units with a maximum size of 5,000 square feet.
Seven.of the ten cities (Fontana, Claremont, San Bernardino, Chino, Montclair, San Dimas and
Corona) required Conditional Use Permits for all approved zones. Self-service storage facilities
are a permitted use in the Industrial zones of Redlands, Upland and Moreno .Valley, yet the
commercial districts required a conditional use permit. Within the City of Rancho Cucamonga,
self-service storage facilities require a conditional use permit for all zones except for General
Industrial (Subareas 2 & 8) and Heavy Industrial (Subarea 15), where these uses are permitted
by right.
Rancho Cucamonga is the only city in our study that permits self-storage facilities within a
residential zone. On November 19, 2003, Ordinance 719 was approved, amending the
Development Code to allow self-storage facilities within residential zones, under specific
circumstances, with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. One such facility has been
constructed .under the current stahdards and staff has been working with both the storage
facility and the adjacent neighbors through conflicts with noise, security and lighting that have
occurred on site. While the intent of the Ordinance was to provide an opportunity to mitigate
land use conflicts where there is a transition between an existing residential neighborhood and
adjacent non-residential land uses. Based on the survey and our experience, these types of
facilities, originally designed to be a transitional land use; have inherent conflicts with residential
uses that cannot be mitigated. Staff recommends amending the Development Code to eliminate
this conflict.
A closer review of our General Commercial zone indicates that 53% of all General Commercial
parcels currently zoned in the City of Rancho Cucamonga are adjacent to at least one
residential zoned parcel. Operation of a self stprage facility adjacent to residential uses creates
conflicts due to the lighting and security :requirements of the self-storage facility. Most of the
cities that permitted self-service storage facilities within commercial zones reflected commercial
zones that were highway or freeway adjacent. The majority of our General Commercial zone
runs along Foothill Boulevard. ~ .
There are many similarities between the City's self-service storage regulations and those of
neighboring cities. Most cities require conditional use permits for all self-storage facilities and
many self-storage facilities are limited to commercial parcels that are freeway or highway
adjacent. Existing self-storage facilities in General Commercial zones adjacent to residential
have proven to have compatibility issues between the two uses. Prohibiting self-storage
facilities in all Residential. zones and the General Commercial zone will prevent future
compatibility issues with residential uses and preserve our commercial core. Requiring a
conditional use permit for any self-storage facility in industrial zones prevents over concentration
of self-storage facilities in any one industrial zone or area.
