REGISTER ELIGIBLE STRUCTURE~ - A request to demolish a portion of the Pearson Filling Station and Garage, located at 12912 Foothill Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga - APN: 1100-061-02. The Historic Preservation Commission recommends the preparation of a focused Environmental Impact Report CEIR) in order to best assess the adverse impact to this resource. Other options that could be considered include the issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff report presented by Brad Buller, City Planner. Jack Lain, City Manager, mentioned that the Assessor's Parcel Number should be corrected to reflect 1100-161-02. Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: City Council Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 7 Barry Vantiger, 2177 N. First Avenue, Upland, and owner of the property, stated they are willing to cooperate with the City in any way. He stated it is their desire in order to facilitate the City and the adjacent developer with obtaining the ultimate location for all the utilities to demolish or destroy the pone- cochere, and are willing at some future point to address the landmark status and the historical significance of the building. He stated he was present when the City inspector viewed the structure and asked him if the structure was removed and kept intact, would it be able to be put up again and would it meet current building codes, and stated the building inspector told him it would not because of the nature of the construction that was used during the time that it was built. He stated the contractor building the Price Club is willing to tear down the canopy at no charge to him and would construct the right-of-way in the comers in their ultimate location. Councilmember Alexander asked if he would be willing to preserve as much of the pone-cochere as possible for the future because of its historical significance. Mr. Vantiger stated yes. Councilmember Buquet asked Mr. Vantiger if he intended to grant the easement to allow the street improvements if the City allows the removal of the canopy. Mr. Vandger stated yes. Councilmember Buquet asked Mr. Vantiger if it was his intention to re-establish the canopy as part of his development. Mr. Vantiger stated yes if they could do so in an economically feasible manner. Councilmember Buquet asked Mr. Vantiger if he was willing to work with the Historic Preservation Commission on the rehabilitation of the filling station Mr. Vantiger stated yes. Gary Womack, 5366 Evening Canyon Way, stated he has been working with the owners of the property for about three years. He continued to inform the Council of the owner's plans for this location and stated it was the intent to have the gas station incorporated into the proposed development of the center. He stated there is a flood concern in this area which prohibits any development because of adequate flood conltol system at the present time. He stated there is a pool resurfacing tenant in the building at the current time. He stated they were going along with what the Wattson-Amo Company was proposing for the acquisition, that they were going to grant them an easement to do their right-of-way when the insurance broker notified them that there would be a major increase in the rate and more than likely the insurance would be canceled. He stated if the insurance is pulled then they lose the tenant. He stated they are in favor of moving the canopy and preserving as much of it as possible. He stated they would relocate the canopy when needed and are willing to work this out. Councilmember Alexander asked if there was reluctance on the establishment of the historical status of the building and asked if that had been resolved. City Council Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 8 Mr. Womack stated the former reluctance was primarily because they were not totally aware of what that meant. He further stated it was their understanding that a landmark designation carries with it many restrictions as to what can be done with the building and what should be preserved of the building. He stated they do not know the specifics of that designation as far as the reslrictions. He stated they would like not to have a landmark designation thrust upon them at this time without fully understanding the restrictions it involves. Marsha Banks, Chairman of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), reported to the Council the discussion the Commission had in determining the recommendation of landmark status to the City Council. She continued to read excerpts from the L.A. Times about the significance of Route 66. She felt this designation would generate a lot of exposure for Rancho Cucamonga, and felt this should be preserved. She mentioned the Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Pearson Garage for landmark status and to recommend fencing and interim signal location. She felt both the City and the owners needed the time to find the best way to preserve the building. She felt once the canopy is demolished the building has lost its architectural charm and did not know if it would at that point lose its historical significance. Councilmember Alexander asked why they have waited so long to act on this, because now it has come down to the wire to do something. Marsha Banks, }-[PC, stated they have adopted a policy, partly at the direction of Council, that they would not initiate landmark status on owners' properties, that they would wait for the owner to initiate landmark status. She stated in this case, the owner initiated a demolition request, and therefore this kicked in a hearing for landmark consideration. Councilmember Wright asked when the Commission came back and recommended the fencing option, were the safety issues discussed concerning the interim signal location. Marsha Banks, HPC, stated this was discussed and that the City Engineer did not feel it was a problem to leave it there for the interim. Brad Buller, City Planner, concurred that the through lanes would not be interrupted by the interim solution. Alan Haskvitz, 9655 Carraft, and member of the Historic Preservation Commission (I--[PC), stated he was not present at the Commission meeting when this was voted on, but that he does support the vote that was made for this project. He felt the potential for Route 66 was very good. Mayor Stout asked if he was suggesting that the canopy be left in its current location. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated he was suggesting that the canopy should be left there until the last moment if it cannot be safely moved, just in case this can be designated a national landmark. Mayor Stout stated as it sits, the canopy would be in the middle of the street once it is widened to capacity, and was he suggesting the sweet be routed around the canopy. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated when the widening comes, then perhaps they would have the answers. Councilmember Alexander asked if he has been in the building since a portion of the plaster has been removed and has he examined the wood in there. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated he felt the historical significance was the important issue, and felt there were other old buildings with dry-rot also. City Council Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 9 Councilmember Buquet asked if the canopy was relocated would it jeopardize the historical significance. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated you can't move the canopy to another location and expect the state to have the same impact on the historical designation. He stated they needed to find out all the information from the state on this. Councilmember Wright asked Mr. Haskvitz if he was advocating leaving this in the interim status on a permanent basis, if that is the only way the state will designate it a national landmark, even if it sticks out on Foothill Boulevard. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated no, that he would like to see what mitigations could be worked into this. Councilmember Wright slated what is being perceived is to leave the canopy out in the middle of Foothill Boulevard once it is widened. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated as a Commissioner he would like to see this stay there and Foothill work around this. He felt the building is more significant and that maybe compromises could be made. He stated his job is to save significant buildings and felt this building is significant. Councilmember Wright stated that because this is coming down to the eleventh hour it is making it more difficult to work Foothill around the canopy. Councilmember Alexander asked if the canopy was moved to another location, would the state think different of its significance. Alan Haskvitz, HPC, stated he did not know if the state would go for this or not. He added he felt the City was missing the boat in terms of advertising Route 66 as a potential source of revenue in these historical buildings. Marsha Banks, HPC, stated the Commission knew the canopy would have to be removed one day, and did not know if the state would give it national status by doing this. She stated that is why they need the time to contact the State Office of Historic Preservation. Jim Frost, City Treasurer, told about the historical significance of Foothill Boulevard. He stated what he hears from the Historic Preservation Commission is that they would like to buy some time. Brad Buller, City Planner, clarified to the Council as to what a landmark status would do as far as potential development or redevelopment of that gas station with or without the canopy, and stated once the Council designates this as landmark status, the requirement is only that it go through landmark alteration permit processing which includes review by the Historic Preservation Commission, because it would be a new development and it would include review and approval by the Planning Commission with the ultimate decision made by the City Council. He stated the primary purpose of landmark status is to indicate the significance of the structure to the community and then set up a process by which any alteration to that building would be made. Councilmember Wright asked if the question before them is the historical designation or the interim signal issue. Brad Butler, City Planner, stated the question before them is the landmark designation status of this. City Council Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 10 Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated so that the Council is clear the desire was to provide the ultimate improvements to make it the best situation possible under the physical constraints that exist. He stated if that is not the Council's desire to move ahead in that direction, they can fall back to an interim position which can work. He stated the Price Club is going to open and there is no time to do anything to this comer before Saturday's opening. Mayor Stout stated there has been no consideration of safety given which was his major concern. He asked if it was safe to leave this in an interim condition with the Edison poles almost in the middle of Foothill as it is to put them where they belong out of the right-of-way. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the ultimate improvements are always the safest way to go, but that was not to say the other way was unsafe. Mayor Stout stated after seeing the plans in both configurations, and with all the traffic that the Price Club and Wal- mart center would bring, the canopy is virtually in the traffic lane. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated that was correct from the Foothill Boulevard side. Mayor Stout asked who was paying for the traffic signal. Joe O'Neil stated it is being installed by the developer. Mayor Stout asked who pays for it if we put them in the temporary location now, and later put them in their ultimate location. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated if the poles go in the temporary location, which is where they are now, then as the properties develop the developers would be responsible for moving the signals back to the ultimate location. Mayor Stout asked who would pay for the moving of the signal if it needs to be done before someone decides to develop. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the City would have to bear the cost of that. Councilmember Buquet stated he felt they should widen the street as much as it could be and preserve as much of the building as possible. He felt more information was needed in order to make a decision. He felt more options needed to be explored so that the City could have their cake and eat it too and not jeopardize the situation. Councilmember Alexander stated he would like to see the building stay and become a part of the development, but did not feel the canopy could stay in its present position. He stated he agreed with the demolition and the relocation of portions of the canopy. He felt it was prudent for the Historic Preservation Commission to view the sites of the Foothill corridor so that other situations do not come up like this one. Councilmember Williams stated she would like to see as much of it saved as possible, but did not want to stand in the way of the demolition. She stated she would like to see it rebuilt if possible. She stated the safety issue is a main concern of hers, along with the economics and liability. Councilmember Wright stated she agreed with Councilmember Buquet and is for buying time to allow the historic designation to be made and then other alternatives can be made for fully developing the site to its potential. She felt the economic development of the site is really important. She stated she did not feel guilty for asking the developer to pay for the infrastructure. City Council Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 11 Brad Butler, City Planner, stated the City would need 45 to 60 days to get an answer from the state. Councilmember Buquet suggested that this be held over for 60 days to get the answers the City needs from the state. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated staff is having problems getting the developer to dedicate the right-of-way on the northwest comer. He stated now they wish to be paid. He stated a condemnation procedure would hake 90 to 120 days provided the Wattson Company is willing to come forward with the $15,000.00 necessary for the appraisal work plus approximately $80,000.00 in cost to acquire the property. Mayor Stout asked if they were conditioned to put the signal in at its appropriate location. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated they are conditioned to put in a complete intersection and that they are now disagreeing as to what complete means, i.e., if it means ultimate. Councilmember Buquet suggested this be held over for 60 days in order to do more investigation on this, including contact with the state for the historic designation. He stated he would not be inclined to allow the canopy to stick out in the middle of Foothill Boulevard. Mr. Vantiger stated the delay would not hold up anything on his part. RESOLUTION NO. 92-267 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION 92-02, THEREBY DESIGNATING THE PEARSON FILLING STATION AND GARAGE, LOCATED AT 12912 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, AS A HISTORIC LANDMARK AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 1100-061-02 MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Alexander to continue the item for 60 days.

Kathy Sorensen, Recreation Superintendent, stated yes. Councilmember Wright asked that the parade not be held to celebrate the City's birthday but to also focus on economic development around the parade route. She asked that the Chamber be contacted immediately for this year's parade to help economic development. She asked that the Chamber be contacted now to get the business community involved with sidewalk sales, etc. Kathy Sorensen, Recreation Superintendent, stated the Chamber is presently involved with the parade. Councilmember Willjams felt something should be ~,~ne so that the residents are more aware of what goes on at the park after the parade. Kathy Sorensen, Recreation Superintendent, felt changing the parade route and having post-parade locations might help this situation. Councilmember Wright brought up the problems with the horses congregating in front of the houses, and that this has been a problem in the past. Kathy Sorensen, Recreation Superintendent, stated they are working on the complaints and aze u'ying to keep the neighbors happy.

He continued to give the history as to how the school idea was developed. He stated they wanted to be of service to the community through the use of their facility. He continued to give details about the dealings with the City for this project. He stated he did not see any reason to deny his request for the school to be located in the church. Mayor Stout stated he did not see any problems with the CUP that could not be worked out as it relates to the use of the playground at the park. He suggested that there be some sort of a Joint Use Agreement developed between the City and the church to facilitate both organizations with use of facilities. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this issue has been resolved as he understands it from Community Services. Mayor Stout stated he is supportive of services in the community as opposed to what people are saying about him not being supportive of churches in the community. Councilmember Buquet stated he would like whatever decision the Planning Commission comes up with to come back to the City Council for consideration so that Mr. Hindley does not have to pay any additional appeal fees.
