4. All legal prerequisites prior 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. This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part"A,"
of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The application applies to approximately 18.7 acres of land, basically a rectangular
configuration, located on the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Archibald Avenue.
3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Council, including minutes of the
public hearing by the Historic Preservation Commission on September 14, 2011, including written
and oral staff reports, and pursuant to Section 2.24.060 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code,
this Council hereby makes the following findings and facts:
A. Historical and Cultural Significance:
Finding 1: It is or was once associated with events that made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history or the
cultural heritage of California or the United States.
Fact/s: At the time prohibition was repealed in 1933, DeBerard and other
prominent local vintners formed the first co-operative in Cucamonga.
He was part of an important group that formed the Cucamonga
Pioneer Vineyard Association.
This association purchased the California Wine Association winery
from Garrett and Company and became the first co-operative in
Cucamonga to own and operate its own winery. This was the period
when wine making boomed and the wine-making industry shifted
from small to large-scale production operations. "In order to compete
with large-scale wineries, small-scale wineries joined with one
another to form cooperatives such as the Cucamonga Pioneer
Vineyard Association (formed 1934), which allowed association
members to pool fruit and share revenue on a percentage basis
determined by the quantity of fruit contributed by each grower.
Operating out of a winery located east of Haven Avenue,just north of
the Santa Fe Railway (demolished), the Cucamonga Pioneer
Vineyard Association is described as, 'Cucamonga Valley's first
mutual marketing group of grape growers.' Cucamonga Pioneer
Vineyard Association focused heavily on pricing and marketing of its
products, responding to the Depression Era need of grape growers to
turn a profit and take advantage of the renewed, post-Prohibition
market for alcohol products. Also benefitting cooperative grape
growers at the time, cooperative associations received exemption
from federal income tax, with individuals rather than the association
required to pay tax on their portion of the profit. Improvements in the
handling and transportation of wine grapes that came about upon the
repeal of Prohibition also facilitated recovery and success of the
winemaking industry in the Cucamonga Valley, which continued to
flourish until the early 1950s" (Chattel Architecture, Rancho
Cucamonga Historic Context Statement, 2010, pg. 13).As part of the
post-prohibition era, Mr. DeBerard and his 18-acre property has
made a significant contribution to the cultural heritage of California,
which was wine-making.
4. This Council hereby finds that the project has been reviewed and considered in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the
Guidelines promulgated there under. The Council finds that this Point of Historic Interest
Designation is exempt under CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, as a Class
8 exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Council hereby resolves that, pursuant to Chapter 2.24 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby recommends approval of Point of
Historic Interest Designation on the 5th day of October 2011.
6. The Mayor shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
