Frost House, currently applying for Historic Landmark Status, located at 7082 East Avenue - APN: 0227-092-03. Related file: Landmark Designation DRC2009-00679. BACKGROUND • A. Historical Significance: The Frost family is considered to be a pioneer family of Etiwanda. In the early 1880s, George Frost brought his family to the Etiwanda area from Canada to work for the Chaffey brothers. His son George E. Frost (aka Geo) was just a small child when they arrived. In 1887, George purchased the land at the southwest corner of Etiwanda and Victoria Avenue and constructed a small general merchandise store called 'The Frost Brothers General Store." George Frost was the organizer of three fruit-growers associations that were formed to protect the interests of fruit-growers in the Etiwanda area. In 1914, Geo purchased the property located on East Avenue and the Pacific Electric railway and in 1918 he constructed the craftsman style grove house on the site. A 1948 aerial shows the dwelling being surrounded by orchards and vineyards. Geo was a citrus farmer/clerk with the citrus association, the area constable, and was also a member of the Etiwanda Service Club. Geo lived in the grove house until his death in 1941: Grove houses were once very common in the Etiwanda area because of the fruit packing industry but have become increasingly rare as new development has occurred. B. Site Characteristics: The house sits on a 19,578 square foot parcel (.45 acre) on the north side of the Pacific Electric Trail and west of East Avenue. It is currently surrounded by residential development and the trail to the south. The land use zoning of the site is designated Low Residential (2-4 dwellings per acre). To the east and south of the property is designated Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwellings per acre). S Items A & B • • HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2009-00679—CINDY HAMPTON MILLS ACT APPLICATION DRC2009-00695 October 14, 2009 • Page 2 ANALYSIS A. General: The house was identified in the City of Rancho Cucamonga's "Designated and Potential Historic Site List" as a "Potential Local Landmark." The house is a 3,250 square foot, two-story, wood-framed building with a composite shingle roof. Although a major addition was added on to the south elevation of the home, the home retains its original construction with a medium level of integrity. It complies with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation because the side addition is done in an appropriate manner, set back from the original building but mimicking the original architecture. While the house has lost some of its setting as a grove house, as it is currently situated within a modern housing tract, it still has a strong relationship to the Pacific Electric Trail, which runs immediately south of the property. B. Landmark Designation: The subject site qualifies for landmark designation based upon much of the criteria from the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance, including such significant areas as historical, cultural, neighborhood, and geographic setting. Details related to these areas of significance are contained in the Facts for Findings Section. The purpose of the designation is to preserve, protect, enhance, and perpetuate a significant feature that contributes to the cultural and aesthetic benefit of Rancho Cucamonga. C. Mills Act Agreement: In accordance with City policy, the owner has requested a Mills Act • Agreement. The Agreement Schedule List of Improvements has been drafted and reviewed and is attached for reference (Exhibit C). The concept of the Mills Act Program is to provide an incentive for the property owner to • protect and preserve the property by retaining its characteristics of historical significance. This intent is encouraged through the reduction of property taxes, thus enabling the property owner to reinvest the money saved from the reduced property tax on the improvements. The properties that enter into the agreement are to be inspected by City staff on an annual basis to determine whether notable progress has been made in rehabilitating the property. Staff estimates the property tax savings to the owner could be as much as $2,291 per year. The exact amounts are dependent upon the County Assessor's property valuation, which is based on income potential and capitalization rate at the time of the assessment. D. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Section 15331 as a Class 31 exemption of the guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. FACTS FOR FINDING: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding 1: The proposed landmark is particularly representative of a historical period, type, style, region, or way of life. Facts: The property is an example of life in early Etiwanda. Most residents here were associated with growing citrus and/or vineyards and lived nearby their work. This • is a grove house that was surrounded by orchards and vineyards. The property, A & B 2 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2009-00679—CINDY HAMPTON MILLS ACT APPLICATION DRC2009-00695 • October 14, 2009 Page 3 being adjacent to the Pacific Electric Trail, made it convenient for the owners to live and work in the same area as part of the fruit industry. Finding 2: The proposed landmark is an example of a type of building which was once common but now rare. Facts: Grove houses were once common in Etiwanda but are now rare. This was predominately a citrus/vineyard area, but new development has encroached around the grove houses or has been built on what were once citrus groves and vineyards. Finding 3: The proposed landmark is of greater age than most of its kind. Fact/s: The dwelling was built in 1918, which makes it 91 years old. Finding 4: The proposed landmark was connected with someone renowned or important or a local personality. Fact/s: Geo E. Frost was the son of George Frost who was prominent in the Etiwanda community. Geo was a citrus farmer/clerk with the citrus association, the area constable, and also was a member of the Etiwanda Service Club. B. • Neighborhood and Geographic Setting: • Finding 1: The proposed landmark materially benefits the historic character of the neighborhood. Fact/s: The proposed landmark contributes to the character of the historic neighborhood as a grove house which once was amidst acres of orchards and vineyards. It represents the history of Etiwanda's agricultural past. Finding 2: The proposed landmark in its location represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood, community, or City. Fact/s: The proposed landmark was in close proximity to the Pacific Electric railway, packing houses, and village on Etiwanda Avenue. Based on its location to the rail-line and street, it has been a familiar visual feature in the Etiwanda neighborhood since 1918. CORRESPONDENCE: The Historic Landmark Designation and Mills Act Agreement was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within 660 feet of the project site. • A & B 3 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2009-00679—CINDY HAMPTON MILLS ACT APPLICATION DRC2009-00695 October 14, 2009 Page 4 • RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend approval of Landmark Designation DRC2009-00679 and Mills Act Agreement DRC2009-00695 to be forwarded to the City Council for final action.

Cindy Hampton filed an application for a Landmark as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Landmark is referred to as"the application." 2. On October 14, 2009, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. 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 Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: • 1. This Commission 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 .45 acre of land, basically a rectangular configuration, located at 7082 East Avenue. 3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on October 14, 2009, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, and pursuant to Section 2.24.090 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, this Commission hereby makes the following findings and facts: A. Historical and Cultural Significance: Finding 1: The proposed landmark is particularly representative of a historical period, type, style, region, or way of life. Facts: The property is an example of life in early Etiwanda. Most residents here were associated with growing citrus and/or vineyards and lived nearby their work. This is a grove house that was surrounded by orchards and vineyards. The property, being adjacent to the Pacific Electric Trail, made it convenient for the owners to live and work in the same area as part of the fruit industry. Finding 2: The proposed landmark is an example of a type of building which • was once common but now rare. A & B 13 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 09-02 DRC2009-00679 — CINDY HAMPTON October 14, 2009 Page 2 • Fact/s: Grove houses were once common in Etiwanda but are now rare. This was predominately a citrus/vineyard area, but new development has encroached around the grove houses or has been built on what were once citrus groves and vineyards. Finding 3: The proposed landmark is of greater age than most of its kind. Fact/s: The dwelling was built in 1918, which makes it 91 years old. Finding 4: The proposed landmark was connected with someone renowned or important or a local personality. Fact/s: Geo E. Frost was the son of George Frost who was prominent in the Etiwanda community. Geo was a citrus farmer/clerk with the citrus • association, the area constable, and also was a member of the Etiwanda Service Club. B. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting: Finding 1: The proposed landmark materially benefits the historic character of • the neighborhood. Fact/s: The proposed landmark contributes to the character of the historic • neighborhood as a grove house which once was amidst acres of orchards and vineyards. It represents the history of Etiwanda's agricultural past. Finding 2: The proposed landmark in its location represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood, community, or City. Fact/s: The proposed landmark was in close proximity to the Pacific Electric railway, packing houses, and village on Etiwanda Avenue. Based on its location to the rail-line and street, it has been a familiar visual feature in the Etiwanda neighborhood since 1918. 4. This Commission 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 thereunder. The Council finds that this Landmark Designation is exempt under CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15331, as a Class 31 exemption (Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation). 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby resolves that, pursuant to Chapter 2.24 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby recommends approval of Landmark Designation on the 14th day of October, 2009. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
