Brief Project Description:(please use the space provided below)
This project proposes to use funding provided by the CCHE to add to the historic
preservation of the region known as the Inland Empire, to enhance the understanding of
the importance of history and community to our school age youngsters and to celebrate
the California cultural experience with our residents and our neighbors. To accomplish
these goals, we will add a local history center and display area of approximately 600 sq.
ft. and exciting interactive educational elements to the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center,
a 90,000 sq. ft. facility, currently under construction, and scheduled to open in
Spring/Summer of 2006.
CCHE Funds will be used for the following construction items:
1) Construction of a 611 sq. ft. Crossroads Rotunda, to house a local history center
with traveling displays of artifacts ranging from household items to
anthropological finds.
2) Design and construction of a 56' Tower within a 2 acre courtyard, symbol of
Imagination and celebrating the diversity of California.
3) Design and rendering of a 3D mural to be located in the Event Center,
highlighting celebrations enacted by the many cultures of California.
4) Design and rendering of a sculpture called the "dreaminator" and a mural to be
located in the Crossroads Rotunda, representing the spirit of ingenuity of
California.
5) Design and creation of an 8' carousel, illustrating three folktales of California
representing three ethnic groups, welcoming youngsters and families to the
Children's Room of the Library in the Cultural Center.

QUESTION ONE
Project Description and Project Goals -Please state the benefit and contribution your project will
have toward the overall goal of enhancing the threads of California's culture and history, and how
your project goals will achieve this.
BENEFIT AND CONTRIBUTION OF OVERALL PROJECT:
The Victoria Gardens Cultural ,Center anticipates welcoming over '/z million youngsters and
their families through their doors in opening year 2006. While already funded to provide a
professional theater for young audiences and a public library, the CCHE funding will allow the Center
to broaden it's offerings to include historical perspectives that will enrich the multi-cultural
programming currently planned. These special display areas and interactive exhibits will help promote
pride and self esteem in our youngsters—as they gain awareness of their rich history and take pride in
the role they see for themselves in the living history of California.
PROJECT GOALS: -
GOAL. ONE – To provide school aged youngsters of the Inland Empire an opportunity to learn about
the history and culture of their local region,from the anthropology of early Indian Tribes, through the
days of the agricultural industry, ending with the powerful economic engines of today's booming
economy.
Objectives:
1) Provide a museum display area within the Center through the construction of the Cross
Roads Rotunda. Located between the Library and the Playhouse, the 611 sq. ft. Crossroads
Rotunda will be redesigned to provide 480 cubic feet of secure showcase storage for historical
displays of artifacts provided by our museum partners. It will also create accessibility for
volumes and documents on local and California history provided by the City of Rancho
Cucamonga and the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, currently locked in vaults at City Hall,
inaccessible to the public.
GOAL. Two – To provide school aged youngsters and their families an opportunity to learn and
celebrate the three strengths of California: Diversity, Imagination and Ingenuity.
Objectives:
1) Provide a symbol representing the power of Imagination through Diversity, creating
living history and a future historic monument. Historically throughout California, towers
have been part of the cultural and architectural landscape. From the bell towers of the
California Missions and the bell and clock towers that define many of California's universities
to the Watts Towers, these structures have served as icons for those landmarks they represent.
Standing tall in the two-acre Cultural Center Courtyard, the illuminated Imagination Tower will
not only serve as the symbol that represents the Cultural Center, but as an interactive
educational tool. Designed to emphasize the importance of diversity in the creation of art,
literature and industry, the Tower, through interior lights, will be used to represent the multiple
diversity of California. Each population in California will be represented with a different color
light in proportion to the percentage of the population. Youngsters will learn about the
percentages of various populations in California, but more importantly, will be breathless with
CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWM hNT _
Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga.
the beauty and power when all the lights are on together. This will be a strong visual statement
of the power of diversity. To be designed by Summit to be interactive with extensive
educational signage.
2) Provide mural celebrating Diversity. California Celebrations! (a 3-D mural) will be
located in the Event Center. This area, a location that will be used to coordinate school tours,
focuses on the rich cultural history of California and the Inland Empire region and blends it
with stories and visions of dance, music and literature. The mural will feature a harvest festival
celebration, Quinceanras, weddings, bar mitzvahs and other multi-cultural events celebrated in
California with music and dance. To be designed by Summit with educational signage.
3) Provide Children's Carousel celebrating California cultural myths and folktales. This 8'
rotating diorama will feature three scenes from California folktales. Welcoming youngsters
and their families as they enter the Children's Room, these scenes will weave tales of Indian,
Chinese, and Hispanic folklore. To be designed by Summit with educational signage.
4) Provide sculpture highlighting California Ingenuity. Allow youngsters to learn and
experience the ingenuity of California through a dramatic display in the Crossroads Rotunda
that highlights the contributions of California inventors and industry. Encouraging youngsters
to dream—and create their dreams—this area will feature a machine called a "dreaminator"
suspended from a 28' ceiling. Surrounding the "dreaminator" will be a painted mural featuring
the exciting technological developments currently contributed by California and fueling the
world economy—the space industry and the cyber world. To be designed by Summit with
educational signage.
GOAL THREE— To promote partnerships with other agencies to leverage services and opportunities
for youth in the Inland Empire.
Objectives:
1) Create a strong partnership with the education community. The guiding force behind the
Center will be a strong creative partnership with the community's schools, enabling educators,
librarians, Community Services Department administrators, and performing artists to work
together to develop meaningful and high quality cultural experiences for children and their
families. These will enhance the arts curriculum of Rancho Cucamonga students of all ages by
providing joint opportunities for culturally-enhanced field trips, extra-curricular .activities,
work-study, and other curriculum connections which teachers indicate will dramatically
improve the children's overall educational experience.
2) Create partnerships with local museums and historical organizations. The high visibility
and accessibility of this project makes it a partnership opportunity. Already the San Bernardino
County Museum, the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society, the Etiwanda Historical
Society and the Route 66 Museum have agreed to participate in a partnership by providing
displays of their artifacts which will, in turn, provide promotion opportunities for their own
museums and collections.

QUESTION TWO
Project Audience and Needs Assessment — Please describe your project audience and illustrate the
critical needs your project will address.
PROJECT AUDIENCE: Youngsters ages 6 through 16 and their families
DEMOGRAPHICS:
Rancho Cucamonga serves as a hub of southwestern San Bernardino County, an area that is
experiencing significant growth and diversification. While 143,711 people lived in Rancho
Cucamonga in 2002 (more than double the 1980 population), 667,050 people lived within ten miles of
the site of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center(a 76% increase over 1980).
This ten-mile radius constitutes the Center's primary service community. It is a community that
is younger than the rest of the state (almost 30% is younger than 18 years, compared to 27% of the
state's population), has a slightly lower median household income than the rest of the state ($45,560
vs. $47,360), a lower level of educational attainment (16% college graduates vs. 23.4%), and is more
heavily Latino (43%vs. 321/6).
Three of the five school districts that serve the city and surrounding communities report that
more than 30% of their students are socio-economically disadvantaged. The percentage of the city's
population below the poverty level has increased by nearly 50% since 1990, rising from 5.4% to 7.1%.
Nearly 14% of Rancho Cucamonga residents reported that they are foreign born and 25% of the
population reported speaking a language other than English at home.
EDUCATION CONNECTION:
Through school tours, and library visits, more than '/z million visitors will pass through the
Victoria Gardens Cultural Center during its first year.
Anticipated School Visits: Current estimates anticipate more than 180 public theater
performances for children and families annually in the Playhouse alone, and another 100 performances
and educational activities exclusively for school audiences. Altogether, nearly 110,000 children and
family members are expected to attend and benefit from the Playhouse's theater performances each
year.
Library Visits: The current library welcomes over 400,000 visits each year. This new branch
location expects to match that number in the first year of operation.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT:
As part of its ongoing effort to assess and respond to the needs of its community, the City of
Rancho Cucamonga recently commissioned two studies of local residents and community leaders in
business, education, government, and the arts. The purpose of the studies was to gain community input
as part of the City's planning process related to quality of life issues. Most community leaders
indicated that while the City of Rancho Cucamonga had done an admirable job of enhancing its
residents' quality of life, one vital component was still lacking: the opportunity for residents to
experience and participate in arts and cultural activities.

CAIJFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWM F.NT
Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga �%
NEED ONE-More cultural arts programs for families to share with children.
Nearly 85% of total respondents said they would attend more arts and cultural events if such events
were available locally. Furthermore,more than 40% of survey respondents who said they have children
living at home indicated that there are not enough events to enjoy with their children. And the desire
for increased `family-friendly' programming appears to be shared by the larger Rancho Cucamonga
public as well: Eighty-five percent of residents surveyed said there should be more cultural events in
the area geared toward family attendance. Overall, the survey revealed, more than 95% of survey
respondents are extremely supportive of more opportunities for children to be exposed to culture in the
community.
NEED Two - Formal educational programs need support in offering cultural arts programs to
students.
When interviewed as part of this study, the superintendents of all five school districts serving Rancho
Cucamonga stated that additional opportunities for their students to participate in and attend cultural
programming and performing arts events as an extracurricular activity are sorely needed. This situation
is particularly acute at a time when Rancho Cucamonga's schools — like those in most communities
— are being crippled by budget cuts and have come to depend upon outside community cultural
resources to supplement and enhance their curricula.
NEED THREE - The public strongly stated the need for agencies to partner to maximize education for
their children.
A survey conducted as part of the Library Master Plan 2000 showed that the public "strongly
believes" that the school, library and other agencies should work together to develop program
enrichment for children in the areas of history, culture and the arts. In fact, a number of studies in the
last ten years have shown significant and direct connections between a child's exposure to, and
involvement in, cultural arts activities and that child's interest and achievement levels in other school
curriculum.
While a strong partnership with the schools is already in place, funding by CCHE will foster
the creation of partnerships with other cultural agencies, including Museums and Historical Societies.
These partnerships promise to unite the community more than ever before, and it is an all-too-rare
example of how community planning can effectively leverage resources for the benefit of children. As
such, we hope these partnerships will be a model initiative for other communities that are facing the
challenges of providing community-based arts and cultural programming for a young, diverse, and
rapidly growing population.
NEED FOUR-Promote self-esteem in the young.
Youngsters in the Inland Empire need to learn to take pride in the accomplishments of their region and
the rich history of which they are part. This helps them to understand their roots and take pride in
themselves. This is particularly important for the "at risk" profile youngster: low income, low self
esteem with low English language and reading skills.

QUESTION THREE
CCHE Priorities.—How does this project fit into the priorities of CCHE?
HOW DOES THIS PROJECT:
1. Preserve, interpret and enhance understanding and appreciation of the significant elements that
add to the State's cultural, social, and economic evolution.
Working with the five local school districts, we have created a"destination place" for school field trips
that will emphasize arts and literacy, provide the opportunity for multi-cultural programming, present
the opportunity for youngsters to learn more of the history of their own community and celebrate the
diversity of California. Because our target audience consists of youngsters ages 6 through 17 and their
families, we have chosen a visual approach to enhancing both understanding and appreciation of the
strengths of California's past as we have defined them: Imagination, Ingenuity and Diversity.
The Crossroads Rotunda sets the stage for a room devoted to depicting the rise of California, and the
connections made between the early Cucamonga Indians, through the cyber revolution. The stunning
Dreaminator, symbol of California's spirit of ingenuity, hangs suspended from the 28' ceiling,
surrounded on high by a mural that depicts California contributions to world culture, including the
space age and the cyber revolution. Below, through a series of glass case display areas, doumentation
of a colorful history emerges through the written word, as well as traveling exhibits of early Indian life
and the anthropology of the area provided by our partner, the San Bernardino County Museum. Relic
exhibits provided by our partners the Etiwanda Historical Society and the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga
Historical Society reveal a glimpse of the 19`h and early 20`h centuries; and the more modem and
colorful path of Route 66 through our partner the Route 66 Museum.
The mural documenting famous celebrations of California located in the Event Center will be used to
emphasize the diverse cultural makeup of California while illuminating history of the area. The
Imagination Tower and surrounding courtyard will be used as a powerful visual tool to demonstrate
that the strength and power of California lies in its diversity.
1. Preserve, document, interpret or enhance understanding of threads of California's story that are
absent or underrepresented in existing historical parks, monuments, museums and other
facilities.
The stories of Inland Empire history are threads of California's story currently underrepresented in the
colorful annals of history. The Inland Empire, a vast giant long viewed as sleeping on the outskirts of
Los Angeles, is emerging in the twenty first century as a powerhouse of the California economy. Yet,
somehow, the history of this vast area has been lost to the powerful pull of the glitz and glamour of
neighboring LA. Mike Davis, contributing author to "Nation" magazine, points out that "although
many Americans are hardly aware of its existence, this "Inland Empire" has a bigger population than
the city of Chicago, or, for that matter, Detroit, Phildelphia and Seattle combined." The most telling
phrase in that quote is the fact that many Americans are unaware of its existence. Perhaps that is why
funding and grants from a federal level rarely make their way to the Inland Empire. San Bernardino

CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWMENT Q
Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga U
County, representing 10% of the total California population and 13% of the land mass, received only
6% of the federal funds allocated in 2002.
Although Rancho Cucamonga hosts the oldest winery in California, as well as the first Community
college (Chaffey) and the second oldest fired brick building, virtually unknown are the stories of life
among the Cucamonga Indians, Rancho life under the Spanish government, the violent murder of John
Rains, the love story of Maria Merced and the battle for water by George Chaffey. All these are
powerful stories that deserve a stronger voice. Through creative displays, partnerships with local
community museums, involvement with school districts and dramatic enactments by the resident
theater company, the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center proposes to be that voice.
The Crossroads Rotunda exhibits will provide an array of materials focusing on the history of the
Inland Empire and Rancho Cucamonga. The permanent collection consists of photos, books,
pamphlets, journals and artifacts currently located in a secure vault at City Hall. This project will
make these items accessible to the public and presented in a way that makes them meaningful to the
young. Traveling exhibits will also be on display from our museum partners.
Our skilled Children's Librarians and talented staff artist have created coloring books based on early
Cucamonga Indian life. The display area will allow them to be highlighted. Scripted programs have
been designed, allowing youngsters to act out important moments in history through role playing in the
Event Center—after researching their roles by using original source materials in the Library. In the
future, the resident Theater Company will take on the task of creating original works for the theater
based on historical events. At that time, the history of the Inland Empire and Rancho Cucamonga will
truly have found their"voice".
3. Achieve careful balance geographically, among communities and organizations of large and
small size, and among diverse ethnic groups.
Geographic Balance: The Inland Empire needs to be evaluated as a unique area apart from the Los
Angeles hub. Rancho Cucamonga, one of the largest cities in San Bernardino County, is located 37
miles east of downtown Los Angeles and, along with the city of Ontario,represents the gateway into
the Inland Empire.
Organization Size: The City of Rancho Cucamonga is a large city, and the partnership with the San
Bernardino County Museum in Redlands represents cooperation with a major museum outlet,however
several of the project partnerships represent the smallest of organizations (Etiwanda and Casa de
Rancho Cucamonga Historical Societies,with their house-sized museums; the Route 66 Museum,
searching for a"home").
Diversity: As documented in Nation Magazine when discussing the growth of the Inland Empire,
author Mike Davis notes "It may not have beaches,but it has the most democratic and racially mixed
neighborhoods in the state. Unlike much of Los Angeles, where diversity is often the transitional
artifact of ethnic replacement, the blue-collar interior is a true rainbow. Affordable and, for once,
racially unrestricted housing has attracted working-class whites following the eastward migration of
warehouses and trucking companies, as well as African-American families trying to save their kids
from the carnage of LA's gang wars. Chicanos, more than a third of the population, follow in the
footsteps of their grandparents, who toiled in the Inland Empire's orchards and railroad shops."

Public Accessibility—What is your plan for making your completed project accessible to the public?
Project Maintenance— What is your plan for financially maintaining and sustaining your project
after CCHE funds are exhausted?
The Victoria Gardens Cultural Center's location within walking distance of the city's vibrant
new Main Street in the Victoria Gardens development is designed to maximize the facility's economic
benefits and popular appeal. Consultants have determined that the development of the Cultural Center
will result in $8.4 million of additional economic benefits annually through increased spending by the
facility itself, its users, employees, and those who visit the Center and its surrounding businesses.
Annual operational and programming funding for the Cultural Center will be derived from
several public- and private-sector sources. The 440-acre Victoria Gardens Mall is anticipated to
generate approximately $3 million in sales tax revenue for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Additional
revenue streams for the project include ticket sales, conference center revenue, library tax dollars, an
annual contribution by the mall's developer, and substantial fundraising efforts by the local
community. An estimated $3,845,000 has been budgeted for the first year of operations, with an
anticipated revenue stream of$2,014,000. That leaves $1,830,000 that will be paid for with tax dollars
from the General Fund.
The City has been working with two local foundations, the Rancho Cucamonga Community
Foundation and the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library Foundation, to create a private fundraising
initiative for the Center. In spring 2003, the two foundations agreed to form a partnership to launch the
Promoting Arts and Literacy (PAL) campaign, the goal of which is to raise $5 million from the private
sector towards the construction and endowment of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. Currently,
$2.5 million dollars have been raised by PAL.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is playing a major role in backing the PAL campaign,
providing administrative support and engaging the services of fundraising and marketing professionals
to help guide the campaign's leadership, all of whom are area residents committed to making the
dream of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center a reality by spring 2006. The PAL campaign has been
publicized extensively throughout the region in an effort not only to cultivate support for the campaign,
but also to engage the community over the long term, building a dedicated and committed constituency
for the arts, culture and education in the greater Rancho Cucamonga area.
Public Accessibility— What is your plan for making your completed project accessible to the public?
VISIBILITY AND ATTRACTIVENESS:
Rather than isolated from the daily life of the community, the Center will be located at its heart, within
walking distance of shops, offices, schools, and homes. Located with high visibility in a major mall,
the City negotiated a prime site for the cultural center, with direct visibility from the Main Street
commons portion of the Center and visibility from the North for the residential development. The
CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AW HISTORICAL ENDON'MGN"I 8
Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga v—�
Center will be within an array of retails stores. The setting is laid out as a grid of walking streets with
lush, landscaped sidewalks. A town square, plazas, paseos, and small parks will be sprinkled
throughout the downtown area. It is envisioned as a place for people to spend time, for children and
families; a place with colorful plants, shops and graphics; a place with a town square, pedestrian
paseos, shaded courtyards, outdoor dining, and fountains. A place with a sense of history. The goal is
to enable local residents to integrate the arts and cultural education into their daily lives, making this
Center an energizing source of wonder and inspiration they can experience every day. The Center will
be convenient for local residents and a"cultural destination" for those who live in the region.
The Cultural Center will be a building of architectural significance and prominence. It will be a multi-
story building, visible in the City as a vista/focal point. The "fly tower", part of the theater component
of the multiuse center, will extend 76' into the air and will promote the center. The fly tower and
building design will have visibility from Interstate Freeway 15, and will be an architectural landmark.
ADA ACCESSIBILITY:
The topography of the site is relatively flat. There are no natural or artificial barriers such as rivers,
railroad or freeways that impede access to the site. The building itself is being constructed in
compliance with all ADA regulations. In fact, the Office of the State Architect reviewed and approved
the plans regarding accessibility in February of 2004.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:
Presently, Omnitrans (local transit) is within a '/o mile from Foothill Boulevard and '/z mile from Base
Line Road. Both streets are major thoroughfares. By opening of the Cultural Center, Omnitrans will
add a stop at Day Creek Boulevard, a major thoroughfare, and Church Street, a special secondary
street. Presently,Metrolink (regional rapid transit) is within two miles from site.
STREET ACCESSIBILITY:
The site is within the Victoria Gardens Regional Mall, which will be the business and cultural heart for
the City and the region due to it's accessibility in terms of auto, foot and bicycle traffic. The Cultural
Center is located near the 210 and 15 freeways and is directly north of Foothill Boulevard, the famous
Route 66.
PARKING:
Autos: The intent is to provide adequate parking conveniently located to the Cultural Center entrance.
Two parking garages flank the Cultural Center, affording 1,180 parking spaces for easy access to the
Center. The parking lots will have direct access to a modern system of public streets. A traffic analysis
has been done to show that traffic will move smoothly and efficiently in the vicinity of the Cultural
Center. Also, the traffic signals will be synchronized and monitored through the use of a modem traffic
signal system which will include video surveillance cameras and fiber optic communication cables.
Bicycles: In terms of bicycle parking, the Cultural Center accommodates 12 bicycle parking spaces at
the site.

which was the first house built before the Etiwanda colony.
In 1984, the home was moved a mile south from where Joseph Garcia built it in 1874 to its
current location at 7150 Etiwanda Ave., north of Base Line Road. Using donations from local
businesses, the Historical Society fenced the property, constructed a concrete foundation and
repaired the roof. Part of a $100,000 community development block grant from the City of
Rancho Cucamonga went for a new fir floor and a replica of the original redwood barn behind
the house. It is now been restored to its original condition.
Today, the Etiwanda Historical Society museum has a display of artwork, photographs and other
artifacts from the Etiwanda colony days. The Chaffey-Garcia House is open for tours and
