Troyer, AICP, Planning Director BY: Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner SUBJECT: UPDATE REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE BIANE WINERY (ORIGINALLY THE PADRE WINERY) — BIANE FAMILY PROPERTIES, LLC BACKGROUND AND PROJECT STATUS: The City received an application from Hogle Ireland Inc. (on behalf of Biane Family Properties, LLC) to demolish an existing winery facility to develop a 240,740 square foot industrial warehouse building on a 10.41-acre parcel, referred to herein as "Biane Business Park," located at 10013 East 8th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730. LSA Associates, Inc. was selected to prepare a Cultural Resources Assessment of the Biane Winery and update the State of California Department of.Parks and Recreation Forms (DPR 523A and 523B) for the property as part of the Cultural Assessment. Based on findings in the report, 10 of the 15 buildings were found to be potentially significant contributors to the winery facility and appear to be eligible for not only City of Rancho Cucamonga Landmark designation but it is also eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the Cultural Resources Assessment identified alternatives for the project that would have a "less-than-significant impact" on the winery facility. • Based on the scope of the project and the potential historic significance of the existing winery facility an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was being prepared. On August 13, 2008, a Public Scoping Hearing was held to allow the general public an opportunity to comment on the scope of what should be covered in the EIR for the proposed project and to all proposed actions related to the project. In late Marchand again in June of 2009, staff met with the applicant to discus the project. Since these meetings, the applicant has been looking into project alternatives and redesign of the Biane Business Park. Based on conversations with the applicant representative, the project was on hold until a final decision was made on the possible redesign. On January 7, 2010, staff received a letter from the applicant to formally notify staff that the applicant is redesigning the project to meet the level of "less-than-significant impact" as determined by the Cultural Resources Assessment and to request the refund of the unused portion of the EIR deposit. Currently, the project is "on hold" per the applicant. Any further review of the project cannot occur until the applicant submits new plans. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive .the report and file for future reference. Respectfully submitted, Jam R.

PURPOSE: The City received an application from Hogle Ireland Inc. to demolish an existing winery • facility to develop a 240,740 square foot industrial warehouse building on a 10.41-acre parcel, referred to herein as "Biane Business Park," located at 10013 East 8th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730. The existing winery facility, Biane Winery, consists of approximately 13 industrial buildings including a winery building, bottling plant and warehouse, grape crushing building, distillery, bonded warehouse, and three single-family homes that range from 900 to 1,200 square feet in size. Additionally, there is approximately 1.14 acre of active grape vineyards on the subject site. The Biane Winery was originally established circa 1910 as the Cucamonga Vintage Co. and was identified in previous cultural reports (1987 and 2001) as appearing to be eligible for fisting on the National Register of Historic Places. Based on the potential historic significance of the existing winery facility and actions that are being requested by the City, it was determined that the proposed project could have significant effects on the environment; therefore, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is being prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EIR was mailed on July 14, 2008, and the public comment period was noted as beginning on July 14, 2008, and ending on August 14, 2008. The purpose of the public scoping meeting is to allow the general public an opportunity to comment on the scope of what should be covered in the EIR for the proposed project and to all proposed actions related to the project. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The current project site is designated as General Industrial (GI), Subarea 5, on the Land Use Map and General Industrial on the City's General Plan.

Staff received the completed report on March 24, 2008, from LSA Associates. • Based on findings in the report, 10 of the 15 buildings were found to contribute to the winery and that the winery appears to be eligible for not only City of Rancho Cucamonga Landmark designation but it is also eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, on January 17, 2008, staff released the Request for Proposal (RFP) to several environmental consulting firms in Southern California, to prepare an Initial Study for the Biane Business Park and determine the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document required for the project. Based on a review of the proposals submitted for Scope of Services/Work with cost estimates, RBF Consulting was selected. It was determined that an EIR was required based on the Cultural Assessment and Initial Study. In compliance with the EIR preparation process as outlined in CEQA, the EIR consultant, RBF Consulting, prepared the Notice of Preparation (NOP). The NOP serves as the public notification that an EIR is being prepared and requests comment and input from responsible agencies and other . interested parties regarding environmental issues to be addressed in the document. In addition to the NOP, CEQA recommends conducting a scoping meeting for the purposes of identifying the range of potential significant impacts that should be analyzed within the scope of the Draft EIR.
