A. Recitals. 1. Manning Homes, 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 November 8, 2017, 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 and recommended approval of the request. 3. On December 6, 2017, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 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 City 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 5.43-acres of land, basically a rectangular-shaped configuration, located at the northwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and Victoria Street. 3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing on December 6, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, and pursuant to Section 17.18.020 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, this Council hereby makes the following findings and facts: A. The City Council may designate a property as a historic landmark if it meets one of five criteria and must retain integrity from their period of significance with respect to location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, association, or any combination of these factors. The subject property meets the following criteria: Criteria 3: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type,period,or method of construction. CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 17-114 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2017-00485— MANNING HOMES December 6, 2017 Page 2 Fact/s: The dwelling is a good example of Folk Victorian and has retained a high degree of exterior integrity considering its age. The ornate details such as fish scale wood shingles and decorative wood spandrels suspended from the porch ceiling are architecturally unique for the time period in which the house was built. The house does possess high artistic values which embodies a type and period of construction. Similar homes with less artistic detail and value have been deemed Historic Landmarks within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. B. Historic Landmarks must retain integrity from their period of significance with respect to location,design,setting,materials,workmanship,feeling,association,or any combination of these factors. A proposed landmark need not retain all such original aspects, but must retain sufficient integrity to convey its historic,cultural,or architectural significance. Neither the deferred maintenance of a proposed landmark, nor its dilapidated condition shall, on its own, be equated with a loss of integrity. Integrity shall be judged with reference to the particular characteristics that support the eligibility of the property. Fact/s: According to the Cultural Resources Assessment completed by LSA Associates, Inc., the proposed landmark retains high integrity from their period of significance with respect to setting, location, materials, workmanship, association, design and feeling. It retains sufficient integrity to convey its historic, cultural, or architectural significance. 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA Guidelines,the applicant's environmental consultant,Applied Planning, prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. The Initial Study was peer reviewed by Placeworks, an independent environmental consultant under contract with the City. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Waste Materials, and Noise there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of,and compliance with,the mitigation measures for the project. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Council hereby resolves that, pursuant to Section 17.18.020 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code,the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby recommends approval of Landmark Designation on the 8th day of November 2017 subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for a request for a historic landmark designation for a single- family residence in conjunction with a 20-lot subdivision of about 5.43 CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 17-114 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2017-00485— MANNING HOMES December 6, 2017 Page 3 acres of land within the Low Residential (L) District (2.0 to 4.0 dwelling units per acre) located at the northwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and Victoria Street; APN: 1076-081-01. Environmental Mitigation Air Quality 1) During grading and site preparation phases of construction, the work area shall be watered a minimum of two times per day. Biological 1) Avoidance of Nesting Migratory Birds: If possible, all vegetation removal activities shall be scheduled from August 1 to February 1, which is outside the general avian nesting season. This would ensure that no active nests would be disturbed and that removal could proceed rapidly. If vegetation is to be cleared during the nesting season, all suitable habitat will be thoroughly surveyed within 72 hours prior to clearing for the presence of nesting birds by a qualified biologist (Project Biologist). The Project Biologist shall be approved by the City and retained by the Applicant.The survey results shall be submitted by the Project Applicant to the City Planning Department. If any active nests are detected, the area shall be flagged and mapped on the construction plans along with a minimum 300-foot buffer, with the final buffer distance to be determined by the Project Biologist. The buffer area shall be avoided until, as determined by the Project Biologist, the nesting cycle is complete or it is concluded that the nest has failed. In addition, the Project Biologist shall be present on the site to monitor the vegetation removal to ensure that any nests, which were not detected during the initial survey, are not disturbed. Cultural Resources 1) The removal of historic materials or alteration of features that characterize the residence shall be avoided. Repair/replacement of materials shall be made in-kind. 2) Distinctive features,finishes,and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the residence shall be preserved and/or repaired/replaced in-kind. 3) Any deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a character- defining feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 17-114 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2017-00485 — MANNING HOMES December 6, 2017 Page 4 Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 4) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. 5) The design plans and elevations for the new detached garage associated with the historic period residence should include a gable roof and siding that is similar in appearance to the house and must be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of building permits. 6) Removal/relocation of the residence shall be monitored by a qualified archaeologist, since the potential for subsurface cultural deposits is moderately high in the area surrounding the house 7) In the event that Native American cultural resources are discovered, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of Interior (SOI) standards shall be hired to assess the find.Work on the other portions of the Project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will be contacted if any such find occurs and be provided information and permitted/invited to perform a site visit when the archaeologist makes their assessment, so as to provide Tribal input. 8) If significant Native American historical resources, as defined by CEQA, are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, an SOI-qualified archaeologist shall be retained to develop a cultural resource Treatment Plan, as well as a Discovery and Monitoring Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for review and comment. a. All in-field investigations, assessments, and/or data recovery enacted pursuant to the finalized Treatment Plan shall be monitored by a San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Tribal Participant(s). b. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with San Manuel Band of Mission Indians on the disposition and treatment of any artifacts or other cultural materials encountered during the project. Geology and Soils 1) A geotechnical engineer or geologist shall be on-site during all grading and foundation construction to verify all observations/findings of the Geotechnical Investigation, or provide amendments as necessary. Hazards and Waste Materials 1) Prior to any relocation, demolition, or destructive renovation activities involving the onsite structures,the Applicant shall submit documentation CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 17-114 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2017-00485 — MANNING HOMES December 6, 2017 Page 5 to the City that ACMs and LBP issues are not applicable to Project, or provide an action plan that will be implemented in accordance with all appropriate regulatory agency guidelines to abate any issues. 2) Should ACMs or LBP be identified on-site, confirmed and suspected ACMs or LBP shall be handled and disposed of by licensed contractors in accordance with all appropriate regulatory agency guidelines. Noise 1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans, the City shall condition approval of subdivisions that are adjacent to any developed/occupied noise sensitive land uses by requiring applications to submit a Construction-Source Noise Mitigation Plan (Plan) to the City for review and approval. At a minimum, the Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction of the Project. Noise control/mitigation incorporated in the Plan may include but would not be limited to: • Implementation of intervening noise attenuation screening/baffles between equipment operations and potentially affected receptors; • Use of electrically-powered construction equipment; • Restricted use of equipment at Project boundaries; • Ensuring that equipment power is appropriate for the incident construction activity (neither underpowered or overpowered); • Use of newer construction equipment. Newer equipment is typically quieter than older models; • Modify equipment to reduce source noise levels by intake and exhaust modification(s) and incorporation of sound attenuating panels around engines. The Plan shall demonstrate that received construction-source noise levels would not exceed the City's performance standard of 65 dBA(Leq) at any occupied sensitive receptor land use. 2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D [17.66.050-D], as measured at the property line. Monitoring of received noise levels shall be conducted in response to any noise complaints,or shall be otherwise conducted as determined necessary by the City Building Official. If monitored constructions-source noise levels at affected receptors exceed the City's 65 dBA (Leq) performance standard, construction activities shall be reduced in intensity or shall be otherwise modified to ensure compliance with the City's noise standards. CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 17-114 HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION DRC2017-00485 — MANNING HOMES December 6, 2017 Page 6 3) The Plan required as part of the previous noise mitigation measure [Mitigation Measure 4.12.1] shall specify that haul truck deliveries be subject to the same hours specified for construction equipment (i.e., Monday through Saturday, 6:30 AM and 8:00 PM and not allowed on Sundays and national holidays). Additionally, the Plan shall denote any construction traffic haul route where heavytrucks would exceed 100 daily trips (counting those both to and from the construction site). To the extent feasible, the Plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. The Plan shall also incorporate any other restrictions imposed by City staff. 4) A perimeter block wall is required for a project, the wall shall be constructed as early as possible during the first phase of construction. 6. The Mayor shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
