STAFF REPORT

L%,.
DATE: April 13, 2011 RANCHO
TO: Chairman and Members of the Historic Preservation Commission CUCAMONGA
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY: Mayuko Nakajima, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: LANDMARK ALTERATION PERMIT DRC2011-00090- SOLID GROUND BRETHREN
CHURCH - A request to re-construct a trellis at the historic Goerlitz property located at
6558 Hermosa Avenue - APN: 1076-051-02. The proposed alterations are categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section.15301.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
Project Site - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
North - 210 Freeway
South - Single-Family Residences; Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
East - Single-Family Residences; Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
West - Condominiums; Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre)
B. General Plan Designations:
• Project Site - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
North - 210 Freeway
South - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
East - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
West - Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre)
C. Site Characteristics: The historic Goerlitz house is on 2 separate parcels that total
approximately 2.26 acres of land, located on the west side of Hermosa Avenue, just south of
the 210 Freeway. A long driveway adjacent to the freeway provides access to the early
Mission Revival-style structure. The structure is a one-story building composed of thick
fieldstone stone walls with a low-gabled clay tile roof.
D. Action requested: The Historic Preservation Commission is asked to review the proposed
trellis that will shade the historic structure. The location of the trellis is proposed along the
north and west elevations, where the original trellis used to stand. The original trellis was
removed by the church because of its dilapidated condition. The original redwood trellis was
infested with termites and the wooden posts were not anchored to the concrete pilaster;
therefore, the trellis remained standing only because of the stabilizing weight of the mature
landscaping on top. Photos taken in 2005 of the original trellis are attached as Exhibit C.
The church would like to construct a new trellis that will mimic the original trellis in terms of
location, size, material, and color. There will be a small section on the westerly side, which
will be extended slightly from the original location, but staff feels that it will not be detrimental •
to the historic integrity of the structure.

Item A
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DRC2011-00090 — SOLID GROUND BRETHEREN CHURCH
April 13, 2011
Page 2 •
Approval of the Landmark Alteration Permit is necessary before the applicant can begin
construction. Chapter 2.24.120 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code requires any person
desiring to carry out a material change on a designated landmark shall apply for a Landmark
Alteration Permit.
ANALYSIS: The proposed trellis is compatible in style, design, and materials with the primary
structure. It is mimicking what used to exist. Because the construction materials for the alteration
are consistent with the historic integrity of the structure, staff supports Landmark Alteration Permit
DRC2011-00090.
FACTS FOR FINDING: The proposed Landmark Alteration meets the following criteria established
in Chapter 2.24.120 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code.
A. The proposed alteration meets the criteria in Section 2.24.120 of the Historic Preservation
Ordinance which requires that the proposed alteration be consistent with the purposes of the
ordinance and that it is not detrimental to a structure of aesthetic, cultural, architectural, or
engineering interest or value of a historic nature.
B. The proposal meets requirements of the Historic Preservation Ordinance because the
materials are compatible with the existing structure and with the original trellis; it does not
harm important features of the original building, and it enhances the livability and value of the
structure.
C. The proposal increases the likelihood that the structure will be preserved for future
generations to enjoy. •
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The proposed alterations to the historic Goerlitz structure are
categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15301.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item 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
a 660-foot radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Committee approve
Landmark Alteration Permit DRC2011-00090.

Subject: MILLS ACT APPLICATION DRC2011-00191 — NA WONG - A REQUEST TO
IMPLEMENT THE USE OF THE MILLS ACT TO REDUCE PROPERTY TAX FOR THE
EMERY HOUSE, A DESIGNATED HISTORIC LANDMARK LOCATED AT 7403
ARCHIBALD AVENUE -APN: 1077-011-43.
BACKGROUND: The Emery house was designated by the City Council as a historical landmark on
January 7, 1981. The house remains in its original location, facing Archibald Avenue south of
Base Line Road. The current owners are now requesting to implement the use of the Mills Act for
the Emery House property.
SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The site is a rectangular-shaped parcel located south of the
intersection of Base Line Road and Archibald Avenue. It is approximately 0.58 acre. A General
• Plan Amendment(DRC2009-00716) and Development District Amendment (DRC2009-00717) were
approved on April 7, 2010, to amend the land use and Development District Maps from
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre), for consistency
with the residential use. Properties to the north and east are designated Neighborhood
Commercial. South of the site is designated Low Residential, and to the west of the site is
designated Office Professional.
ANALYSIS:
A. Historical Significance: The design and materials of the structure were ordered from a 1908
Sears, Roebuck Model Home Catalog and shipped via railroad to the Cucamonga area. The
house is believed to be one of only two such houses in the area. From the railroad station,
the materials were.moved via wagon to the present site. Nathan Emery, owner of the site and
purchaser of the design and materials was assisted by John Klusman in the building of the
residence. John Klusman, a member of the Klusman family of local builders, was the founder
and builder of the Mission Winery (later to become the Virginia Dare Winery). Mr. Klusman
helped build a number of structures in the area, was a citrus rancher, and president of the
Cucamonga Water District among a number of other community activities.
The house was in the Emery family until 1941, when it was taken over by the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation until 1944 when Jeff Stephenson purchased the structure. The site
was originally 10 acres of citrus and has since been sub-divided down into residential and
commercial sites.
•
• B. 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 E).
Item B
HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF REPORT—NA WONG
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT DRC2011-00191
April 13, 2011
Page 2 •
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. The
property taxes for the Emery house will be calculated based on the estimated Mills Act Value.
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.
C. Environmental Assessment: The project is categorically exempt under Section 15331 as a
Class 31 Exemption of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission recommend
approval of Mills Act Agreement DRC2011-00191 to be forwarded to the City Council for final
action.

SIGNIFICANCE
19. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.)
The structure's design and materials were ordered from a 1908 Sears, Roebuck
Model Home Catalog and shipped via railroad to the Cucamonga area. The house is
believed to one of only two such houses in the area. From the rail station the
materials were moved via wagon to the present site. Nathan Emery, owner of the
site and purchaser of the design and materials was assisted by John Klusman in
the building of the residence. John Klusman, .a member of the Klusman family of
local builders, was a founder and builder of the Mission Winery (later to become
the Virginia Dare Winery). Mr. Klusman helped build a number of structures in the
area, was citrus rancher, and president of the Cucamonga'Water District among a
number of community activities.
The house was in the Emery family until 1 941 , when it was taken over by the
Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation until 1944 when Jeff Stephenson purchased the .
structure. The site was originally 10 acres of citrus and has since been sub-
divided down into residential and commercial sites. •
