Staff Report
DATE September 12, 2007
TO Chairman and Members of the Historic Preservation Commission
FROM James R Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY Mayuko Naka~ima, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT An update to the Historic Preservation Commission on the George and
Jessie Johnston Home, a Designated Point of Interest, in the Very Low
Residential District, located at 6998 Etiwanda Avenue -
APN 1089-081-20
BACKGROUND On July 25, 2007, staff requested feedback from the Historic Preservation
Commission regarding the historic nature of the George and Jessie Johnston Home At the
• meeting, the Commission supported an alternative to landmark the Pearson home, to demolish
the Johnston home, to move and preserve the "office building" to a site to be determined (with
family furniture and memorabilia), and to place a number of plaques at both locations as part of
an agreement with the developer
UPDATE Since the initial meeting with the Historic Preservation Commission, staff has been
working with the developer, Manning Homes, and the Etiwanda Historic Society to create
alternatives to preserve the Johnston House Mr Manning's original concern was with the
rehabilitation, economic viability, and safety issues if he was responsible for retrofitting the
structure to make it marketable
Staff has discussed with both Manning Homes and the Etiwanda Historic Society the potential
for the following alternatives
1 Execute an affordable housing density bonus,
2 Accept from Manning Homes a donation of a lot from the proposed tract to retain
the structure in place m return for a Park Fee credit and lot density bonus,
3 Allow Manning Homes to build a foundation, and move and place the structure
on that foundation in return for fee credits, or
4 Use City funds (CDBG or Redevelopment funds) to move the structure to the
Etiwanda Depot site or the Isle House site
Although retaining the structure on site would be the ideal solution, this may not be the most
feasible option for the developer at this time because of the complex issues regarding affordable
• housing agreements Additionally, staff has not determined if the lot density bonus for donation
of a lot for park use is permitted by the Development Code
ITEM A
HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT
JOHNSTON HOUSE UPDATE
September 12, 2007
Page 2
Manning Homes' preferred alternative was to relocate the structure to the Isle House or Depot
site paying for all costs associated with moving and building a foundation for the structure
(approximately $48,000), and m return, would receive fee credits towards future Building Permit
fees Manning Homes is acceptable to this solution if the Historic Preservation Commission and
City Council will support an agreement for the fee credit in exchange for the relocation of the
structure
In 1999, staff utilized the fee credit system to obtain the Isle House site from Woodside Homes
for a total fee credit of up to $135,000 Additionally, the park requirement for the Victoria project
was accomplished through the donation of the Chaffey-Garcia site by the William Lyon
Company Incentives and mutual agreements such as these have helped the City and the
Community preserve historical resources from demolition m the past During the time of writing
this staff report, the exact type of incentive to be used has not yet been confirmed
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission receive
the staff report and file for future reference pending a future update

FROM James R Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY Mayuko Naka~ima, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT UPDATE AND RESPONSE TO ISSUES RAISED UNDER PUBLIC COMMENT
AT THE AUGUST 22, 2007, HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MEETING
BACKGROUND
• At the August 22, 2007, Historic Preservation Commission meeting, Jim and Gwyn Frost,
members of the Etiwanda community, presented their concerns regarding the preservation of
the Johnston/Pearson/Clark family legacy The Frosts informed the Commission that important
artifacts, photos, and documents pertaining to the Johnston family and City histories are being
auctioned on eBay To prevent the loss of the City's valuable heritage, the Frosts requested
that the City create an ordinance or other mechanism requiring the community to donate to the
City any items related to Rancho Cucamonga history in lieu of the sale or auction of those
items
During that same meeting, Commissioner Fletcher requested a clarification of the role and
functions of the Historic Preservation Commission
ANALYSIS
Although the City cannot legally require the community to donate historical items to the City or
other historical groups, programs can be created to encourage and facilitate donations
Currently the City has an archive program that accepts donations of historical artifacts, photos,
and memorabilia Staff can advertise through the newspaper, the Grape Vine, and other
established circulations of the existing archive program Additionally, staff is creating an
outreach program to make the community aware of the Historic Preservation program through a
Historic Preservation link on the City's website, brochures, and public community outreach
With this new program staff can further promote awareness of the City's archive program and
ability to accept donations of artifacts, documents, photos, ephemeral or any information that
may relate to Rancho Cucamonga history
