Everything from the hand-selectedand placed stoneworkto the AMF automaticpinspotters was unique, and the colorpalette of turquoise and coral was carried msidewith ultra-moderndécor and fumishings (Figure 13) Interiorfeatures included a north south green terrazzo concourse, original diner counter and service area with mid century appliances such as milkshakemachine andpie safe, full heightentry lobby, Bouquet Canyon Rock walls, billiards room, nursery, beauty shop, and spacious meeting banquet, and entertaimnent areas in exotic-named spaces like the PyramidRoom and EgyptianRoom (Figure 13 & 14).
Figure 14. Covina Bowl concourse and lanes and diner/coffee shop (Daily Tribune 1956) As well researched and documented in its National Register nomination,architectural firm, Powers, Daly, and DeRosapioneered the designintroductionof programmatic amenitiesthat turned the bowling alley into a recreation center, propelling the ?rm to master status and the forefront of mid-century Googie roadsidebowling center design (Moruzzi 2016). In doing so, Powers, Daly, and DeRosashifted the sport from a men-only domain,to women, families, and community, and bowling centers like the Covina Bowl “became the center of the midcentury suburban communities built up around them” (Nichols 2016). Indeed, women became involved not only in bowling but billiards as well, and the Covina Bowl opened with Mrs. Hilda Stowell, Wester United States BilliardsChampion, employedto provide instniction in billiards to women, suggesting something much more deliberate. Mrs. Stowell went on to organize a local women’s billiards club at the Covina Bowl made up of about 20 women throughout the valley (Figures 15-16;LA Times 1956) For 60 years, the Covina Bowl was a well-used recreation center, community gathering place, meeting spot, and special event location for residents, nuzso Iuu.CES suRVI:\

Amendment,
Zone Change, and Speci?c Plan by the City of Covina. In consultation with the Community Development Department, four (4) of the ?ve parcels in the Project Area were formally surveyed as initial project assessment and scoping excluded APN 8434-O17-007, although the entire Project Area was includedin the geographicscope of archaeologicaland paleontologicalinvestigation (Table 3).
In order to structure the survey process, guide fieldwork, and establish a framework for evaluating the signi?cance of potential cultural resources, research on the history of Covina, historic land uses, bowling culture, and modern architecturewas conducted. Research materials, including historic maps, previous surveys, and published local and regional historical accounts were collected and reviewed.
Building-specific property and construction history was researched.Based on these efforts, a focused historic context was developed. A cultural resources record search, Sacred Lands File (SLF) search with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), paleontological resources record search, review of previous research and survey results, field survey, additional research, and extensive community outreachwere conducted.
This work has been completed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA; PRC §21000, et seq.) and the City of Covina Historic PreservationOrdinance (Chapter 17.81 of the Covina Municipal Code;Ord 97-1812 §l, 1997,as amended).
Research
Records Search. On October 28, 2019, a cultural resources records search was conducted by Megan Wilson,M.A.,RPA of DUKE CRM at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC), the local clearinghouse for cultural resource records located at California State University, Fullerton. The SCCIC is the state~designatedrepository for records concerning historic and archaeologicalresources, studies and reports, and National and California Register-eligible properties in Los Angeles County. The records search checked for record concerning such resources and reports within one-half mile of the Project (Appendix B).
The SLF search request was sent October 24, 2019 by Ms. Wilson to the NAHC for sacred lands in or near the Project Area (Appendix B). Per City guidelines,scopingwith Tribes was precluded by Native American consultation conducted by the City under Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) and AssemblyBill 52 (AB 52).
The paleontological resource recordssearchwas submittedon October 24, 2019byBenjamin Scherzer, Additional Research. Previous studies,reports, and historicphotographs were gathered and reviewed, as available, beginning in early—20l9. Historic and building-specific research, including building pennits, historic aerial images, historic maps, historic photographs,and land records, was completed from January-April 2020. Sources were housed in a variety of locations, including the City of Covina Community Development Department, Covina Public Library, online, and iii the JMRC professional Unfortunately, collection. the sequencing of researchwas not able to predictthe closure of county offices, libraries, historical societies, and mu eums, leading to limitations in access to sources or collections only viewable in person and research not already completed before March 16, 2020, including Assessors sRESOURCES R\l1\

ommunity Outreach
oi unity outreach under the study commenced in April 2019 but continued earlier communication d meetings initiated by the project team with the Los Angeles Conservancy (LA Conservancy) garding the possibl redevelopment of the Covina Bowl site. Meetings were held with Adrian Scott ne, Directorof Ad ocacy with the LA Conservancy on April 18 and May 1,2019, and communication c ntinucd througho t the project, concluding in May 2020.
Communication was initiatedwith Adriene Biondo, Friends of Covina Bowl and Chair Emeritus of the LA Conservancy Modem Committee in May 2019 and continued throughout the project. An onsite meeting was held on August 6, 2019 at the Covina Bowl with Adriene Biondo who toured the exterior of the Covina Bowl and participatedin consultation with historic sign restorationist, Paul Greenstein.
The project team p blished project objective in September 201 to help accurately inform membei of the public or press inquiring about the project.
Two focused community outreach workshops were held at the Covina Bowl on December 5, 2019 which were attended by members of the Friends of Covin Bowl, Covina Valley Historical Society and LA Conservancy, City of Covina staff, and the project team. The workshops included verbal and display board presentation on the proposed project and historic preservation goals, questions and general discussion, and a tour ofthe interior and exterior of the Covi ia Bowl. Sign-in sheets for the workshops are on ?le with the Covina Community Development Department.
A community meeting was held at the Covina Senior and Community Center on the evening of February 2, 2020 during which members of the general public and interested parties heard a group presentationabout the project and their role and opportunity for comment in the environmental process.
Smaller, focused group discussions continued at several stations with display boards and project materials around the communitymeeting room. Sign-in sheets for the community meeting are on file with the Covina Community Development Department
Additional,follow-up outreach effons were made based on the re ults of the December workshops and February community meeting. JMRC toured the Unity Church of the Foothillswith its pastor, Reverend Bonnie Dickson, on December 30, 2019 and corresponded with Joanne Mitchell, a retired City of Chat?eld, Kiwanis Club of Covina
— South Hills, regarding the Project on March 9, 2020. Several participants personally provided contact information for themselves and others unable to attend. Outreach to Glenn Reed, Covina Valley Historical Society, a onner manager and chef, and a fonrier waitress at the Covina Bowl has been attempted and is still anticipated. Ficld Survey An intensive-level, cultural resources pedestrian survey for hi torical resources was conducted over several visits from October to December2019, a focused return isit was made on December 30, 2019, and return visits were made in Febmary 2020. Field survey for buried archaeological resources was precluded from the study, per the approved scope with the City of Covina Community Development Department, as the site has been fully developed and ground surface visibility is non-existent with 100 ll\ nuzsounczs sEv

percent of the ground surface covered. The site was carefully inspected for evidence of historic resources. Current condition and architecturalfeatureswere noted in the ?eld and architectural quality and integrity were assessed and compared with previously documented studies Potential culturalresources were recorded in the field using detailed note taking for documentationon DPR Forms (Appendix A), and digital photography was taken for contextual overviews and detail images of architectural features.
RESULTS
Research
Records Search. The cultural resource records search results indicate that no previous studies have included the Project Area boundaries.Three reports have been completed within one-half mile of the Project, two of which were small-scale surveys (LA-07097 and LA—09672),less than an acre in size.
The third survey ( A-10641) was a linear study area. Less than one percent of the area within one-half mile of the ProjectArea has been surveyed for cultural resources (Table 1;Appendix B).

The results of the SLF search were received from the NAHC on November 12, 2019. This search did not identify any sacred lands in or in the vicinity of the Project Are and recommended ?ve (5) Tribes to consult (Appendix B). The results of the SLF search were provided to the City in November 2019 to support Native American consultationunder SB 18 and AB 52.
Paleontologicalrecordssearch results were received on November , 2019. This records search did not produce any fossil localitiesin the Project Area. The closest fossil locality is located one-half mile to the northwest, at a depth of 115 120 feet below ground surface Additional Research. Research with the City of Covina Community DevelopmentDepartment a d on the City’s webpage revealed that the area had not been included in the geographic boundaries of the City’s historic survey by Historic Preservation Partners (HPP) in 2007, which focused on the town center. However, the research and context development of this study provided infonnation regarding the historic development and growth of Covina within the region, including its early focus on citriculture. City records also provided the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance 0rd. 97 1812 §l, 1997) and con?nned that none of the study parcels are designated local resources.
The National Register nomination of the Covina Bowl provided extensive history and context on the bowing center development and culture in post-WWII America and architectural features,materials, construction, and alteration (Moruzzi 2016)
The Covina Public Library provided access to the Digital Newspaper Archives of Covina (18805 19905) and the Covina Citms IndustryPhotographs Collection housed physically at the Covina Public Library and digitallywith the Online Archive of California (OAC). These recordsprovided infonnation on town development and growth as well as early citriculture and related development.
Building pemiits on ?le with the City of Covina Development Department, as well as Los Angeles County Assessor’s online research, provided parcel and track infonnation and identi?ed the Project Area was carved from the Phillips Tract. Permitsfurther providedinfonnation on address changes over time, ownership history, established or con?rmed dates of construction and alteration suggested by other sources, and suggested common early ownership of the church and day care properties. Permits for 1085Badillo Street were unavailable at the time of request.
Historic aerial images and historic maps contributed to an understanding of the development of the Project Area over time. This research revealed that the Project Area and surrounding were blanketed remained among the new constmction until density increases in the latter-20"‘century removed mo t of these trees. Historic aerial images also contributed to an understandingof construction and alteration over time (NETR 1948-2016;Figure 25). Sanbom Maps did not cover the Project Area.

Community Outreach
Community outreach provided insight into the importanceand use of the Covina Bowl, particularly as a community pace, to the local community over many decades. Many comments and stories focused on the time spent at the Covina Bowl for regular meetings of social groups and service clubs,special meetings and events, and every day as well as lifetime milestone occasions. As food was often a part of meetings and events, the diner coffee shop held special importance.The nursery was also judged an important component of mid—centurybowling center culture,however, original plans demonstrated to interestedpartiesthat the locationof the nursery location was not constructed where originally planned.
Surprisingly, very little was expressed or recalled about bowling itself, but rather focused on other recreationaluses.
The LA Conservancy meaningfully contributed to concept design with ongoing conununication via email, in-personmeetings at the Los Angeles office, and an on—sitevisit during the workshop and tour.
Consultation with the Conservancy assisted the projectteam in identifying ways to maximize retention of character-de?ning features and important community spaces and provided recommendations regarding specialtyrepair and restoration work such as for the restoration of the monument sign.
The Friends of Covina Bowl also contributed to these discussions and the development of the scope of the restoration component of the project, and comments during the December 2019 workshop and tours provided insight into some alterationssuch as the early addition of the droppedceiling to shield bowlers from the glare of the light coming in the east-facing clerestory pyramid windows and the covering, rather than removal,of the bowling lane bulkheads as was previously thought. Further discussion at the public communitymeeting in February2020 emphasizedthe community interest in retaining the coffee shop dining element of the Covina Bowl and broughtforward the possibility of investigating the reuse of tile from the bowing lane bulkheadsinto an interpretive display.
Brutocoa family descendant,Mike Messang, provided his recollections on the use of the Covina Bowl and donated an original, unfolded coffee shop menu and grand opening newspaper promotion as well as his family’s original constructionset of plans, which contained hand-written notations and markings that provided previously unknown infonnation about the earliest modi?cations to the original design during construction.
Joanne Mitchell described how she bowled at the Covina Bowl with her late husband, a Covina policeman from when it opened in l956 and recalled how it went “psychedelic" with bright colors (date unknown). Ms. Mitchell played piano and provided vocal entcrtaimnent for service club meetings, party Brad Manning,Past President and Lt. Governor Emeritusof the West Covina Kiwanis Club, and Elton Chat?eld, Past President of the South Hills Kiwanis Club (now Kiwanis Club of Covina — South Hills, provided a deeper understanding of the long tenn use of the Covina Bowl by the Kiwanis Club as well as many other local service groups like the Covina Lunch Rotary Club, the Sunrise Rotary Club, and the Lyons Breakfast Club. Mr. Chat?eld loaned his personal collection of KiwanisClub documentsand ephemera from the 19705 present for review and reproduction, and Mr. Manning provided contact information for the former Covina Bowl café manager and chef. During the tour of the Unity Church of the Foothills,Reverend Bonnie Dicksondescribed the alterations of the single-family residence for use as a church and shared documents,photographs, and ephemera on display related to the founding and history of the church 23 SU|l\E\ RESOURCES RAL

Field Survey
The pedestrian survey con?rmed the development and alteration history revealed by historic research and community outreach. The Googie style architecture of the Covina Bowl, concentration of prominent character-defining features on the facadeand extended entry, and exterior and interior modi?cations were confimied. The mid—centuryarchitecturalin?uence on the office at 1085W. Badillo Street as well as the rear addition and other modi?cations were noted. The vacant day care center at 1103W. BadilloStreet appearedheavily altered and an earlier rear residence,attached throughmultiple additions, was visible from the adjacent parcel. An exterior examination and interior tour of the Unity Church of the Foothills by the pastor revealed several modifications through its conversion from a single—familyresidence to a church. Notably, several mature citrus trees were noted on both the church and day care properties.
Surveyed Properties
In consultationwith the City of Covina Community Development Departmentthe entire Project Area was includedin the geographicscope of the archaeologicaland paleontological investigation and four (4) parcels were formally surveyed (Table 3). Surveyed properties are brie?y described below and recorded on State of California Department of Recreation(DPR) forms (Appendix A).

Additions over time have made multiple structures into one large consolidated irregular footprint.The front portion, a wood-framed building covered with stucco and capped with a front mansard roof (1978), which now identi?es the property, obscures an original single-family residence and detached garage constructed late-1953 to the rear, a small 16x22’stucco addition of a bedroomand two baths with a rock roof (late 1953), and a nursery school stucco classroom with rock roof (1965). In l98l, a 1,691-square foot classroom addition appears to have been constructed between the original 1953 residence and front l978 building, and ?eldwork also identi?ed a canopy over lunch benches in this area. The structure now includes multiple roof structures and has been reroofed, windows have been replaced, and an exterior improvement project that includes restuccoing and window replacement is in progress. The front setback provides a concrete parking area, and the iinlandscaped rear contains a small linear grouping of mature citru trees.

I accordance with the Scope of Work, potenti cultural resources within the Project Area were evaluated for eligibility for listing in the NR, the CR, and for local designation underChapter 17.81 of the Covina Municipal ode (CMC).
Criteria for Signi?cance
The following criteria were used to determineeligibility at each level.
National Register of Historic Places. Eligibilityfor inclusion in the NRHP is detennined by applying the criteria established by the National Park Service under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as follows:

In additionto meeting one or more of the above criteria, the California Register requiresthat suf?cient time has passed since a resource’s period of signi?cance to “obtain a scholarlyperspective on the events or individualsassociated with the resources." (CCR 4852 [d][2]). The California Register also requires that a resource possess integrity. This is de?ned as the ability for the resource to convey itssigni?cance through seven aspects: location, setting, design, materials, workmanship,feeling, and association.
City of Covina. The City of Covina’s Historic Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 17.81 of the Covina Municipal Code; Ord. 97-1812 §1, 1997) seeks to preserve the City’s cultural, architectural and archaeologicaland historical heritage and resources as living parts of community life.
An individual resource may be locally designated as a Landmark or Structure of Merit if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
1. It exempli?es or re?ects special elements of the City‘s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic,engineering, architectural, or natural history; or
2. It is identi?ed with persons or events signi?cant in local, state, or national history; or
It represents the work of a notable builder, designer, or architect; or
4. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship; or
5. It contributes to the signi?cance of an historic of an historic area being a geographically de?nable area possessing a concentration of historic or cenic properties or thematically related grouping of properties which contribute to each other and are uni?ed aestheticallyby plan or physical development; or
6. It is one of the few remaining examples in the city of Covina, region, state, or nation possessing distinguishing characteristics of an architectural or historic type or specimen (CMC §17.81.050(A)).

Covina Bowl. The Covina Bowl is an excellent example of Googie stylearchitectureand a mid-century bowling center property type designed by Powers, Daly and DeRosa, masters and pioneersof bowling center design. Owned and operated by the Brutocao brothers, Leonard, Angelo, and Lewis, they also constructed the building under their general contracting ?rm, Brutocao and Company. Originally from type in the United States when it opened in 1956,the Covina Bowl became a prototype for dozens of bowling centers designed by the same architectural ?rm and many others in auto-centric, postwar suburban settings throughout the country in the following decade. And for 60 years, the Covina Bowl was a well-usedrecreation center, community gathering place, meetingspot, and special event location for residents,service clubs, and other local groups of Covina and the vicinity. Modi?cations over time have not been found to compromise the overall integrity of the property, and the Covina Bowl was fonnally determined eligible for listing in the NationalRegister in 2016. Since then, the bowling center closed (2017) and the bowling lanes were since removed.The property appearsto continueto meet the threshold for eligibility for listing in the NR and CR under Criterion C 3 as it continues to exemplify the bowling center architectural type as pioneered by master architectural ?nn, Powers, Daly, and DeRosaand expressed inthe Googie style of roadsidecommercial architecture.In addition,the property also appearsto be eligible for local designation under Chapter 17.81of the CMC as it re?ects special naso sRCESV\

Little Scholar’s Day Care. Although constructed as a single-family residence in September and October 1953 by rancher William C. Colver and his wife,Ethyl, Mrs. Colver immediately opened an independent, andunpennitted, school for young children,as a building permitinspector noted when he reported a sign on the property in November 1953, “First Grade and Kindergarten School in this Residence.” Mrs. Fleekinger (sic.), who also appears brie?y associated with the ownership of the adjacent church property, was responsible for modi?cations in the 1960s, followed by Dr. Belvi since the 1970s. The residence—schoolwas constructed amid a minimally cleared,mature grove that was developed ca. late-19"‘to early-20"‘century, and a small linear grouping of original citnis trees remain in the rear of the property. Research did not provide additionalinformation about the original or early owners or the place of the school day care center in the community, and it appears to have played a small role in the educational history and development of the community. The integrity of the property has been thoroughlycompromisedby extensive alterationand change over timewithin the Project Area, block, and surroundings. Therefore, the property has been assigned a CHR StatusCode of 62- Found ilreligiblefar NR, CR, or Local designation through survey evaluation.

PROJECT REVIEW & IMPACT ANALYSIS
The proposed Covina Bowl project is a mixed-use development that includes the partial demolition of the rear (west) mass that once housed the bowling lanes and a south addition (1963), rehabilitation of the remaining historic Covina Bowl (1955), and the constructionof multi-fainily residential housing.
Theproject proposes to construct 132 residential units in 16 three-story, inulti-unitbuildingsto the west and south of the reduced sized historic Co ina Bowl with integrated landscaping, parking, and community enhancements such as lawn bowling and tot lot. The rehabilitation of the vacant Co ina Bowl would reintroduce commercial retail and re uran dining use and includes a focused restoration scope.
Impact Analysis
As a property assigned a CHR Status Code of 1-5, the Covina Bowl is considered a historic resource under CEQA.
CEQAestabli he that ‘a project that may can a b tantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource is a project that may have a signi?cant effect on the environment" (PRC §2l084.l) and the California Public Resources Code further defines substantial adverse change as “demolition destruction, relocation, or alteration such that the igni?cance of a historical resource would be impaired" (PRC §5020.l(q)). CEQAGuidelines further provide in relevant part, “The signi?cance of an historical resource is materially impairedwhen a project demolishes or materially alters in an adver e manner those physical characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical signi?cance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for, inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources...or a local register of historical resource ...“ (l4 CCR §l5064.5(b)(2)(A)(B)) and further instructs that “a project that follows the... Secretary of the lnterior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings ..shall be considered as mitigated to a level of less than a signi?cant impact on the historicalresource” (l4 CCR §l5064.5(b)(3)).
The Secretary of the lnterior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (SOIS; Standards) call for a meaningful approach to rehabilitation and “acknowledge the need to alter or add to a historic building to meet continuing or new uses while retaining the building's historic character" (Grimmer 201722). Further, they instruct, “The Standards will be applied taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility ofeach project" (Ibid.).
Guided by CEQA,CEQAGuidelines, and the Secretary of the lnterior’s Standards for Rehabilitation a to team, meet adverse effects through project design. The Rehabilitation Plan was further informed by consultation with the LA Conservancy and community outreach and includes a rehabilitation goal, objectives, and specific treatments for character-de?ning features, materials, and spaces, which have been incorporated into the project design as it evolved and is currently proposed (Appendix C). Thus, and pursuant to CEQA, JMRC evaluated the proposed project, which includesthe treatments of the Rehabilitation Plan (Appendix C), for potential impacts by applying the Standards (Department of the Interior regulations 36 CFR 68): 1. A property will b used as it was histoti all or be giv n a new use that reqitir s minimal change to its distinctive materials, featms, sp ces, and spatial relationships. |l\|2\ 5RESOURCES

Returning the Covina Bowl to bowling use is not possible due to the total removal of the bowling lanes by Brunswick Corporation (ca. 2017), insufficientphysical, photographic, and historic documentationas original plans do not show the level of detail required for accurate reproduction, and contractual non-compete limitationsbyBrunswick Corporation, which were put in place prior, and unrelated, to the proposed project.Thus, the removal of the rear (west) mass, which primarily housed the bowling lanes, formalizesa lossthat alreadyexists- an entire interior historic elementthat is alreadymissing and cannot be physically returned. As such, the Standards acknowledge that the bowling lanes space “no longer plays a role in physically de?ning the historiccharacter of the building” and furtheradvisesthat creatinga false sense of historical appearance based on insufficient information or introducing a new incompatible interior feature is not recommended (Weeks & Grimmer l995:vi-vii, 59).
The proposed project provides a new use that retains a great number of distinctiveexterior and remaining interiormaterials, features, and spaces, andpreserves importantspatialrelationships.
The proposed new use as a commercial/retail space with partial restaurant/dining use allows retention of nearly the entire originalfacadeand main front mass. This provides retention of the majority of charactende?ning architectural featureswhere they are concentrated on the original facadeexterior as well as where the other historicrecreationaluses, otherthan bowling, took place on the interior, including the main lobby with bowling support services like shoe rental; Pyramid Room with cocktaillounge and bar; EgyptianRoom with restaurant and dining space; commercialkitchen; meeting and banquet space; diner coffee shop; and the north—south green terrazzo concourse, which will be retained in reducedwidth as an exterior feature that leads to a rear proposed lawn bowling feature. Further, preservingthe diner coffee shop space provides an opportunity for the return of an important historicuse that was discontinued in the l990s.
The proposed use, however, includesthe construction of multi-family residentialunits on the balance of the site and additional parcels, which calls for the removal of the rear, west mass that housed the bowling lanes. Whilenot proposing to return the bowling lanes, and use, to the rear space is acceptable,the removal of the entire rear mass that housed the lanes to construct the proposed project is in con?ict with Standard 1 as it criticallyalters the mass of the original design and its ability to exemplify its architectural type.
The historic character ofa property will be retained andpreservea’. The removalofdistinctive Accepted rehabilitationprinciples discourage modi?cation of the primary elevation,while the secondary (side) elevation allows greater ?exibility, and the rear is generally the encouraged location should alteration be necessary. The proposed projectretains 188 feet, or 76° o, of the original facadelength, where character- defining features are concentrated; the entire depth of the main front mass (70 feet) to its interior divisionat the concourse, whichwill be reused in place in reduced width as an exterior feature, continuing in its primary function as a walkable path that provided important spatial use separation and distinction;its original setback, landscaping, and L-shaped comer parking that framesits primary face to the public; and all elements of the integrated entry design, from the pyramid-shaped A frame entry to the folded plate canopy to the monumental RESOURCES suRvI:\ covmn BOWL PROJECT C0

neon sign, which will maintain its prominent sense of presence in its continued unimpeded view from Rimsdale and W. San Bemardino Avenues.
The loss of the exterior courtyard and short row of small of?ces, beauty shop, and ?rst, brief nursery location(relocated by 1962) on the west end of the north (side) elevation, is made less signi?cant by its rear position on a secondary elevation and its articulated plane and setback from the line of the front mass, which somewhat reduces the effect of its removal on the impression of mass from W San Bemardino A enue However, the extensive retention of the property’s original facade, front mass, and most important character-de?ning features and spaces signi?cantly diimni hesthe effect of this modi?cation to the overall retention of historic character of the property. Further, its most prominent feature, the Bouquet Canyon Rock wall, which eon?icts with the locationof proposed Building 14,will be materially retained through relocation or reuse, 01' be coinpatibly reimagined, preferably near the north elevation of the front mass to retain the distinctive rock material as a visible feature from W. San Bemardino Avenue.
Removal of the west portion of the building is a modi?cation that occurs on the rear, least important elevation and an area that contributes relatively few distinctive architectural features or materials in comparison to the original facade, front mass, elaborate entry, and comer setting; however, the rear mass, which contained the bowling lanes, and the overall size and mass of the whole building, de?nes the character of the building as a bowling center, and its removal is in con?ict with Standard 2
Ea /1pr rty will b r I i a’as /7 si l id it fine, place, and use. Changes that create a falsesense ofhistorical development,such as adding conjecturalfeaturesor elements fromother historic properties, will not be undertaken.
New construction will neither mimic nor be in extreme contrast to historic construction, and conjecrural features or inappropriateelements from other historic properties are not proposed.
Where new construction will occur, such as the new west and south walls, design inspiration will be taken from the features, materials, spaces, ?nishes, and construction techniques of the Covina Bowl itself to achieve compatibility with the overall historic character of the building.
Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be The Mayan—theinedcurved, concrete wall (ca. 1960s), which was addedearly during one of the several expansions/remodels of the cocktail lounge and appears to have acquired historic signi?cance in its own right. lts deliberate physical intmsion through the facadeassembly and into the interior lobby is as bold and integrated as the designed insertion of the folded plate canopy. And any drawback from its encroachment into the width of the entry path is tempered by its contribution to the outrageous Googie style and exotic entry experienceof the Egyptian- themed Covina Bowl. The Mayan wall is proposed for retention, and roughly executed transitions at intrusion points may be minimally and sensitively improvedto existing condition, in accordance with the RehabilitationPlan. Documentation of significance of the Covina Bo\vl in the National Register nomination is robust and well-founded, and understandably includes the 1962 south addition based on its early construction and design by the same architectural ?rm, Powers, Daly, and DeRosa.

However, the admittedly “major” south addition may not rise to the level of “signi?cant in its own right” for the purposes of applyingStandard 4. Actually, constructed in 1963,the addition was designed by only one of the architecturaltrio, Gordon Powers, who is speci?cally, singly listed below the firm name on original plans for the alteration. According to the nomination record, unlike DeRosa, the ?nn’s designer who is credited with sole responsibility for the exuberant exterior design of the Covina Bowl, Powers focused on business and plarming operations for the ?rm, and by the time the addition was designed in 1962, the ?nn was concluding an intense period of growth from 1955-1962 during which they designed 47 bowling centers. Closer examination of the south additiondesign brings into focus the effects of the absence of DeRosa’s involvement and perhaps the inattention of an overworked ?rm.
The addition appears somewhat “tacked on” and lacks meaningful architecturalinspirationand integration. Some original features are simply repeated such as the full-height aluminumframed storefront and others are incorporated unsuccessfully such as the Bouquet Canyon Rock, which appears applied to the facadeas veneer (though it is not) rather than sturdy, freestanding yet integratedwalls or piers. Further, a ?ill-height, wrap around pergola with repeating ?attened, pointed-arch bays, which is neither found on not inspired by the original design, is introduced prominently, recessing the facadeand side elevations. Finally, the size of the addition shi?s the originally offset pyramid-shapedentry to the center of the new facadelength and reduces the prominence of the entire integrated entry, which is not in keeping with the Googie style or original design intent.
While a later addition or modi?cation may successfully re?ect the latest architectural style, updated features,or new materials to achieve signi?cance in its own right (Grimmer 2017: 15), the design of a major addition of 20 bowling lanes by the same architectural ?rm so soon a?er original constructionwould be expected to achieve greater integration and compatibility. Thus, although judged to not signi?cantly detract from the property's overall integrity for the purposes of eligibility, it does not appear that the south addition can be considered a change that has truly “acquired signi?cance in its own right,” simplyby its use and association, and its removal under the proposed project is not in con?ict with Standard 4.
Distinctive materials, features, finishesand construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will bepreserved.
The proposed project will preserve the exterior and remaining interior distinctive, materials, craftsmanship and is clearly the most prominent of the many character-de?ning features. Not only will the proposed project retain these features, but will address deferred maintenance, which have placed them at risk for years. In accordance with the RehabilitationPlan, the pyramid A-frame entry roof, folded plate canopy, and monumentalsign will be preserved and repaired/restored, as needed. Early assessment by a quali?ed historic sign restorationist has assured the neon sign will be able to be fully restored,functionally repaired, safely cleaned, and relit in neon. The “Covina” script of the original designand evidenced in historic photos will be reconstructed and replace the later-added stylized boomerang “C” letter (ca. 1970). Additionally, the glazed entry and clerestory windows of the pyramid will be again exposed and repaired/restored,frilly preserving this most prominent integrated historic element. Interior preservation work will also include the remaining important historic fabric that characterizesthe style, craftsmanship, construction, and use of the main front mass.

Deteriorated historic features are anticipated to be repairedand restored, as described above in Standard 5; however, where severity of deteriorationrequires replacement, the Rehabilitation Plan providesfor replacement in kind, matching design,color, texture, ?nishes, and materials, before compatible replacement.
Original windows are missing between the baf?es on the facade, which has been ?lled with stacked white stone. Historic and photographic evidence does not provide suf?cient detail regarding window size, function, and material. Therefore, replacement will be guided by physical evidence and the example of other extant original windows.

10. Not applicable. Investigation during the current study by an Archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Professional Quali?cationshas not identi?ed the presence of archaeological resources, has determined the Project Area has a low level of sensitivity, and hasrecommended that the proposed project is unlikely to yield archaeological resources.
New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, featuresand spatial relationshipsthat characterize theproperty. Thenew work will be di?erentiatedfromthe old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity oftheproperty and its environment.
New construction is not proposed to the east (front) or north (side) of the Covina Bowl to maintain its comer orientation and allow its continued, prominent visibility to pedestrian and motorist. Residentialbuildings will be appropriately scaled and distanced to maintaincharacter and setting. At 37 feet in height, new buildings will not exceed the approximately 40-foot pyramid and the closest building to the south of the facadeis spaced 12 feet, ensuring new construction will be subordinate to the Covina Bowl and balancing visual relationship with distinction. The Covina Bowl provides inspiration for the compatible design of new construction and site improvements, which are proposed to reference, not mimic,characterdefining features and materials with minimal detailing such as angled wing entry awnings, natural rock embellishment, and a complimentary but muted color palette. These measures ensure the Covina Bowl will relate to new construction in compatible prominence.
The removal of the south addition will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property (see discussion under Standard 4). The original south wall is no longer extant. The new south wall will achieve compatibility with the overall character of the property by seeking to match the simplicity of its original design through use of smooth wall surface and minimal embellishment
The new west wall will be constructed in alignment with the extant interior wall on the east edge of the concourse, and will include,rather than destroy, important historic features like the Bouquet Canyon Rock wall at the coffee shop diner. Transitions at historic junctures are planned to be sensitiveand discrete so as not to damage existing historic features andmaterials.
The new west wall will be compatiblewith historic features and materials, ratherthan identical New additions and adjacent or related n H construction
it ill be undertaken in such a manner that, i'f
removed in thefuture, the essentialformand int rity ofthe historic property and its environment wouldbe unimpaired In accordance with the RehabilitationPlan the new west and south walls, will be designed and constructed to ensure sensitive and transitions at historicjunctures, such as where the new west wall will adjoin the alignment of the historic interior Bouquet Canyon Rock wall at the diner coffee shop. Thiswill not only support minimal damage to existing historicfeatures and materials now, but also ensure the preservation of essential form and integrity of the historic property in the event of future removal. New residential units and related constructionwill not physically touch the historic building or encroach upon the primary aspects of its setting, allowing for future removal without impairing its essential fomi and integrity in its enviromnent.

The basis for the Covina Bowl‘s signi?cance and eligibility for listing in the National Register and California Register is based on the property’s ability to exemplify its architectural type, a bowling center, as designed by master architectural ?nn, Powers, Daly, and DeRosa and expressed in the prominent Googie style of roadside commercialarchitecture. As demonstrated through CEQAanalysis of potential project impacts in the application of the Standards, the proposed project, which includes demolition of the rear, west mass that contained the bowling lanes, will materially impair the Covina Bowl such that, while it will continue to exhibit character-de?ning features of the Googie style and, though lessoned, maintain its expression as roadside commercial architecture, it will be unable to sufficiently exemplify its architectural type, which is unable to be separated from the comprehensive design and signi?cance of the property. As the proposed projectwill cause a substantialadverse change in the signi?cance of Covina Bowl, it will have a signi?cant effect on the environment, and its potential impact is signi?cant under CEQA.
A lower threshold is applied for local designation, and the proposed project, which preserves the front mass and majority of character-de?ning architecturalfeatures, still allows the Covina Bowl to represent the work of notable architectural finn, Powers, Daly, and DeRosa (Criterion 3) and as expressed in their arresting roadside architectural design that embodies the Googie style (Criterion 4). In addition, the current study broughtto light the importance of the wide variety of other recreationalsocial, and cultural functions that took place in the front mass from 1955 to 2017, identifying the cumulative value and signi?cance of this collective space to the character of the building, its historic patrons, and the current community allowing the Covina Bowl to still maintain local eligibility under the proposed project for its ability to re?ect special elements of the City’s cultural and social history (Criterion 1). Therefore, under the proposed project, the Covina Bowl continues to appear local eligibility for designation under Chapter l7.8l ofthe CMC.
Archaeological and Paleontological Considerations. The Project Area has a low level of sensitivity, and is unlikely to yield, archaeological and paleontological resources. No impactsto archaeological resources are anticipated and depth of the nearest fossil locality,recorded at 115 120 feet below ground surface one-half mile away, indicates shallow excavation ( 15 feet) in the Project Area is unlikely to impact paleontological resources.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As proposed, the project has been found to have a signi?cant impact under CEQA.The only way to design, excluding the south addition. Mitigation Measures Because the rear west mass of the Covina Bowl building will be demolished as currently proposed by the project, JMRC recommends the following mitigation measures that will reduce impacts; however, impacts will still be signi?cant and unavoidable: l. Covina Bowl RehabilitationPlan.The proposed project shall be constructed in accordance with the Covina Bowl Rehabilitation Plan (Appendix C) to ensure that currently proposed treatments, and new or revised treatments that may come to light through ongoing physical investigation and repair assessments, will achieve the greatest compliance with the Secretary RESOURCES sun\’:\ can I-|1o.u:cr ao\\'L NA

of the Interior’s Standards and applicableGuidelines.
Documentation. High quality digital scans of the Covina Bowl original construction plan set with personal notations(1955), obtainedthrough community outreach duringthe current study, shall be submitted to the City of Covina Community Development Department for inclusion with original plans and documents already on file. As remaining features, materials,and spaces that characterize the property will be preserved under the proposed project, and the bowling lanes and relatedmechanicalsystem have been entirely removed and are unableto be surveyed, drawn, photographed, or otherwise recreated, a initigative recordation program to Historic American Building Survey (HABS) standards is not recommended.
Intei;_nretiveProgram. An on-site interpretive program to share the history and signi?cance of the Covina Bowl with residents, visitors, passersby, and the motoring public shall be developed. The program should include the enhancement of two locations (1) in the vicinity of the proposed rear lawn bowling feature where the bowling lanes were located and (2) in a publicly visible and/or accessible location, such as near the public right-of-way or entry, to engage the pedestrian or motorist andmaintain the relationship of the property with the public.
The interpretive program shall include, at a minimum, a brief written history of the Covina Bowl cast in bronze and displayed at each location. To the extent possible, the interpretive program should also include one or more other creative elements, in one or both locations, that may be artfully reimagined from historic photographs or bowling—related historic material salvage that is unable to be reused in the proposed project, such as tile from the concourse bulkhead or discarded pieces of green terrazzo.
L cal Desi nation. Prior to the issuance of a demolition pemiit, a nomination application to designate the Covina Bowl as a Landmark based on current study ?ndings shall be prepared and submitted to the Community Development Department, Planning Division for review by the Planning Commission.
Pro'ect Recommendations:
Outside CEQA,JMRC recommends that the City of Covina includethe following recommendations as conditions of approval which serve to further general preservation goals and community interests identified during research and community outreach under the current study:
l. Citrus Trees Mature citrus trees identified in the side and rear yards of the Little Scholar’s Daycare, 1103 W Badillo Street (8434 017 008) and Unity Church of the Foothills, llll W. should be of the preferably in a location near where they are currently plantedor anywhere on the south side of the Project Area. Salvage. Prior to the issuance of a demolition permit an opportunity for religious and architectural sal age of the Unity Church of the Foothills shall be provided to the Unity organization, other local nity churches, or local architectural salvage groups.

' Recorded by Jennifer Merrnilliod ‘Date February 10.2020 Continuation El Update P32. Description:
Constructed on a portion ofLot 2 Block 5 of the Phillips Tract, this large, 47,821-square-foot vacant bowling center at 1060 W. San Bemardino Avenue faces east on from a deep setback on the southwest comer ofRimsdale Avenue and W. San Bemardino Avenue. The large, rectangular building is horizontally oriented with intersecting and projecting vertical articulation, and balanced asymmetry. A ?at roof with slight, cantilevered blocked height variance on the nonh end ts supported by facadebaffles and a square concrete column Steel-framed walls support smooth, unsheathed precast concrete tilt-up panels with venical seains. A prominent, originally off-centered, projecting front A—framein pyramid shape shelters a full-height metal-framed glazed entry assembly which opens to a full-height lobby (early added dropped ceiling) Glass is missing from boarded metal framed facadewindows behind a courtyard wall of Bouquet Canyon Rock, and original \\ll1dO\VSbetween facade baffles have been removed and the space ?lled with thin stacked white rock (date unknown). Glazed assemblies with sliding glass doors also open to the north end courtyard, which is also shielded by a tall Bouquet Canyon Rock wall. A monumental, 60-foot reverse triangular neon sign \\lll1 a stylized boomerang letter ‘C
’ which replaced original “Coviiia" in neon script (I970), pierces an exaggerated folded plate canopy that leads from the public right-of way to pierce the glazed entry and extend into the lobby. Similarly, a Mayan-themed concrete block curved wall, which was likely added during an enlargement of the Pyramid Room (1962 & 1965) is found beneath the pyramid and intrudes into the entry space and through the glazed entry A cantilevered,exposed-stmcturecanopy marks the green terrazzo concourse entry on the north end, which extends the f 11length ofthe original building and with a tiled mosaic bulkhead (remoi ed/covered ca. 2010) separates the rear bowling lanes and oflices from other recreational and entertainment in the front mass. An original diner coffee shop with unpainted Bouquet Canyon rock diner wall Formica counter seating, service area oforiginal appliancesand fixtures, like milkshake machine, full-length metal light hood with pinholes, and original clock, and remodeled seating area (ca late-19 05) is found on the north side ofthe interior The building is surrounded on three sides with asphaltsurface parking, and the setting is embellished with ground-level and early added low-raised planters with subtropical plantings, large accent boulders original tiki lights. Additional modi?cations include the major 21,800-square-foot south addition (I963), additions and modifications to the north end (1974), and more interior modi?cations, including modernization of restrooms (date unknown), comprehensive remodel in the early-2000s, replacementof bowling seating and scoring tables (ca. 2010), and recent removal of all 50 bowling lanes (ca 2017).

Signi?cance: Constnicted in 1955, the Covina Bowl contributed to the post-WW11 suburbanization of the rural outskirts of Covina, which were blanketed with citrus groves until the 19505.The Covina Bowl (1955) is an excellent ex mple ofain d-century bowling center and Googie style roadside commercial architecture. Owned and operated by the Brutocao brothers, Leon rd, Angelo, and Lewis, they also constructed the building under their general contracting finn, Bnitocao and Company. Originally from Tor nto, Canada the Brutocao brothers were well-known developersin the East San Gabriel Valley, and Leonard lived locall on the east end of Badillo Street.

' Recorded by Jennifer Mennilliod ‘Date February 10,2020 IZIcontinuation El Update the complete the building, which was designed by the master architectural firm Powers, Daly and DeRosa, who pioneered the bowling center architetural type with the design of the Covina Bowl. The largest recreation center of its type in the United States when it opened in I956, the Covina Bowl became a prototype for dozens of bowling centers designed by the same architectural lirrn and many others in auto-centric, postwar suburban settings throughout the country in the following decade. And for 60 years, the Covina Bowl was a well-used recreation center, community gathering place, meeting spot, and special event location for residents, service clubs, and other local groups of Covina and the region. The Covina Bowl (1955), exhibits character-de?ning features of the Googic style, include the prominent pyramid entry, folded plate entrance canopy, and monumental reverse triangular neon sign; metal-framed fenestration,triangular facadebaf?es, and Bouquet Canyon Rock walls and accents. Important interior and exterior features reflect both stylistic in?uence, roadside architecture, and mid-century suburban bowling culture and bowling center properties, including setback and relationshipparking, ground and low planters with subtropical plantings, green terrazzo concourse, original diner counter and service area, and spacious meeting and entertainment rooms. Modifications over time have not been found to compromise the overall integrity of the property, and the Covina Bowl was formally detennined eligible for listing in the National Register in 2016. Since then, the bowling center closed(2017) and the bowling lanes were since removed. The property appears to continue to meet the threshold for eligibility for listing in the NR and CR under Criterion C 3 as it exempli?esthe bowling center architectural type as pioneered by master architectural ?nn, Powers, Daly, and DeRosa and expressed in the Googic style of roadsidc commercial architecture. In addition, the property also appears to be eligible for local designation tinder Chapter I7.8I of the CMC as it re?ects special elements of the City‘s cultural and social history (Criterion I), represents the work of notable architectural firm, Powers, Daly, and DeRosa (Criterion 3), and embodiesdistinctive characteristics of the bowling center architecturaltype and Googic style roadside architecture (Criterion 4). Accordingly, the property has been assigned a CHR Status Code of 2S — Individual property determined eligible for NR by the Keeper.

Subject: Records Search Results for the Covina Bo\\l Project, City’of Covina, California Dear Ms. Mermilliod:
At the request ofJMResearch and Consulting, Duke Cultural Resources Management, LLC (IIJKE CRM) has conducted Sacred Lands File SLF), paleontological,and cultural resources records searches for the Coyina Bowl Project (Project , located in the City of Covina, Los AngelesCounty, California. Speci?cally, the Project is located in the southwest ' 4 of Sections 15, Township 1 south,
Ranges 10 west, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian as shown on the USGS Br]/I/WillPark, Ca/y.‘
7.5 quadrarigles.The Project includes parcel numbers: 8434 01 009, 8434—017~007, 8434-018 020, 8434017 008, and 8434 018 021. It encompasses approximately 8 acres. See Attachment 1 for Project maps.
NATURAL SETTING
The Project is located \vithin the northwest portion of the Peninsular Rangesgeomorphicprovince.
The Peninsular Rangesgeomorphic proxince is distinguishedby northwest trending mountain ranges and valleysfollowingfaults br nchin from the San Andreas Fault. The Peninsular Rangesare bound to the east by the Colorado Desert and extend north to the San Bernardino — Riverside county line, west into the submarine continental shelf, and south into Baja California (Norris and Webb 1976).
The City of Covina 18 located in the northeastern San Gabriel Basin and is bounded by the SanJose Hills to the southeast. Geologically,the Project is situated upon surficialsediments of alluvialgravel, sand, and silt Qa (Dibblee and Ehrenspeck 1999 .Soil survey data indicatesthat the entire Project is to very that in alluvium from granitic in fansthat have of O to as high as 15 percent (National Resource Conservation Service 2019). The Project is located \vithin the San Gabriel Valley,which is bordered bythe San Gabriel Mountains on north, by the San jose Hills on the east, by the San Rafael Hills, and on the south by the Puente Hills.The elevation is approximately475 feet above mean sea level (amsl).Though the Project area is heavily urbanized, it is located within the Venturan—AngelenoCoast Hills ecoregion and vegetation before urbanization would have included annual grasslands,California sagebrushand buckwheat,sage, chaparraland coast live oak. Climat i Mediterraneamlike with mild annual temperatures and annual precipitation typicallyrangingbetween 14 to 26 inches. (Griffith et al. 2016).

DUKECULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
CULTURAL SETTING
Of the many chronological sequences proposed for the prehistory of southern California, two primary regionalsyntheses are commonly used in the archaeologicaliterature. The first, advanced by Wallace (1955), defines four cultural horizons for the southern California coastal province, each with characteristic local variations:
I. Early Man (~9000—8500B.P.)
II. MillingStone (8500-4000 B.P.)
III. Intermediate (4000-1500 B.P.)
IV. Late Prehistoric (1500~200 B.P.)
\\'/arren and Crabtree employ a more ecological approach to the deserts of southern California, defining five periodsin prehistory (1986):
I. Lake Mojave (12000—7000BP)
11. Pinto (7000-4000 B.P.)
III. Gypsum (4000-1500 B.P.)
IV. Saratoga Springs (1500—800B.P)
V. Shoshoncan (800~200 B.P.)
Warren and Crabtree (1986) vie\ved cultural continuity and change in terms of various signi?cant environmental shifts, de?ning the cultural ecological approach for archaeologicalresearch of the California deserts. Many changesin settlement pattern and subsistence focus are viewed as cultural adaptationsto a changingenvironment, beginningwith the gradual environmental warming in the late Pleistocene, the desiccation of the desert lakes during the earlyHolocene, the short return to pluvial conditions during the middle Holocene, and the general warming and drying trend, with periodic reversals, that continues to this day.
The Project is located within the ethnographic territory of the Gabrielino or To/lg;/aIndians. The Gabrielino are Takic-speakersand are descended from Late Prehistoric populationsof the region.The name Gabrielino was given to the local inhabitants by SpanishMissionaries who established a mission in Gabrieleno in 1771. food resources have
system very little is known concerningthe details of the Gabrielinos’politicalstructure, social behavior and cultural practices. Gabrielino villageswere generally self-contained and had an autonomous political structure comprised of non-localized lineages,in which the largest and dominant lineage’s leader was usuallythe villagechief. Villagehouses were domed, circular shaped structures, constructed from tree branches and thatched with tule, fern or carrizo. The villageswould have been located near fresh \vater and raw material resources. Villagerswould have utilized temporary camps throughout their localized territories for hunting, gathering, and raw material trips away from the main village (Bean and Shipek 1978). Major Gabrielino villagesor communities near the project area included Ar/2/mk.r/Jzmgato the north and Weniingato the south. We/ziingawas located within what is no“ the City of Covina. The word I173;/iingameans “one of the placeswhere metates, etc., or anything is discarded as about an Indian camp”.

METHODS
The cultural resource records search was conducted on Octob r 28, 2019 by Megan Wilson, M.A., RPA, of HIKE C RM. The records search was performed at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC)located at the California State University, Fullerton. The SCCICis the state—designated repository for records concerning historic and archaeologicalresources, studies and reports, and National and California Register—eligibleproperties in Los Angeles County. The records search checked for records concerningsuch resources and r ports \vithin one~half mile of the Project.
The SLF request was sent October 24, 2019 by Ms. W/ilson to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for sacred lands in or near the Project.
The paleontologicalresource records search was submitted on October 24, 2019 by Benjamin Scherzer, M.S,of HIKE C R M to the Department of Vertebrate Paleontologyat the Natural History Museum of Los AngelesCounty for fossil localities in or near the Project.
RESULTS
The cultural resource records search results indicate that no previous studieshave included the Project boundaries. Three reports have been completed \vithin one half mile of the Project, two of which were small—scalesurveys (LA—07097and LA 09672 , less than an acre in size. The third survey (LA 10641) was a linear study area. Less than one percent of the area within one-half mile of the Project has been surveyed for cultural resources, see Table 1.

' Historic Mile
The absence of any previously recorded prehistoric and historical archaeologicalresources with physical remains within one-half mile of the Project indicates a low level of sensitivity for these resources in the Project. Additionally,the Project and the surrounding one—halfmile is mapped as urban environment consisting of paved roads, elevated highways,and commercial and residential buildings, and other developmentsTherefore, the Project is likelyhighly disturbed and unlikelyto yieldany archaeologicalresources. Based on the results of this records search,I]JKE C R M does not recommend any additional archaeologicalwork such as monitoring be required during grounddisturbingactivities related to the Project.
The results ofthe SLF search were received from the NAHC on November 12,201‘). This search did not identify any sacred lands in or in the vicinityof the Project. Five (5) Tribes were recommended to consult, see Attachment 2.
The results of the paleontologicalrecords search were received on November 7, 2019. This records search did not produce any fossil localitiesin the Project. The closest fossil localityis ‘/2mile to the northwest, at a depth of 115 — 120 feet below ground surface. The near complete lack of any fossil localities in ‘/1 mile indicates a low sensitivity for paleontological resources within the Project. Additionally, based on the depth of the nearest fossil locality, it is unlikely that shallow excavation 15 feet) in the Project would impact ani paleontological resources. Based on the results of this records search, UJKE CRM does not recommend paleontologicalmonitoring be required during round—disturbingactii ities related to the Project.

RE: Covina Bowl Project, Los Angeles County
Dear Ms. Wilson:
A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were negative. However, the absence of speci?c site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.
Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. Isuggest you contact all of those indicated; ifthey cannot supply information,they might recommend others with specific knowledge. Bycontacting allthose listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to ensure that the project information has been received.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information. Ifyou Sincerely,
Steven Q

Guided by the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (Standards), the Covina Bowl Rehabilitation Plan seeks to define the historic preservation scope of work for the Covina Bowl Project, guide the project team, meet overall project goals, and minimize adverse effects through project design. The Rehabilitation Plan includes a Rehabilitation Goal, Rehabilitation Objectives, and specific Rehabilitation Treatments for character-defining features, spaces, and materials.
Alltreatments, and those not yet fully informed or known because of the need for specialized assessment or future discovery of unforeseen conditions, must meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, which prioritize preservation and protection/maintenance over repair/restoration, and finally allows replacement in kind to match original in design, color, texture and, material to the greatest extent possible before compatible replacement materials. Specialized assessment of deteriorated condition, where they exist, of important historic features must be evaluated by a qualified preservation professional for preservation, repair/restoration, or replacement recommendations. Alltreatment for the Covina Bowl carried out under the Rehabilitation Plan must be further guided by, and performed in accordance with, applicable Preservation Briefs published by the National Park Service, which provide information and guidance on specific historic materials, construction techniques, and appropriate methods l )-
Rehabilitation Goal: Retain important aspects of integrity by safeguarding the Covina Bowl's ability to ll) exemplify the Googie Style through its character defining features, materials, and spaces; (2) maintain its prominent expression as roadside commercial architecture; and (3) sufficiently represent the bowling center architectural type as designed by master architectural firm, Powers, Daly, and DeRosa.
To support the Rehabilitation Goal, specific objectives are identified:
Rehabilitation Objectives:
(1) retain majority of original facade length, where character-defining features are concentrated:
(2) retain sufficient facade depth to convey sense of mass:
(3) retain original landscaping design and spatial relationship with parking and street;
historic use;

(5) where practicable, remove non-historic or inappropriate modifications and return important missing features through focused
reconslruction/restoration;
(6) salvage, reuse, and reimagine character—defining features and materials that fall outside proposed Covina Bowlfootprint or that cannot be retained in place; and
(7) reference character-defining features and materials as inspiration to ensure sensitive and compatible modifications, transitions, and new design in the Covina Bowl, the new residential development, and the balance of the site.
To meet the Rehabilitation Objectives, specific Rehabilitation Treatments for character defining features, materials, and spaces, re prescribed. These treatments, which were also informed by consultation with the LA Conservancy and community outreach, have been incorporated by the project team as components of the project design as it evolved and is currently proposed:
Rehabilitation Treatments:
Massing & Form: Large, hor'zonta||y oriented rectangular plan with prominent intersecting and projecting vertical articulation, and balanced asymmetry Treatment: Retention of majority of original facade where character-defining features are concentrated, including prominent A-frame entry and vertical baffles is critical as is retention of a substantial depth to maintain substantial presence of mass. Additions and modifications should be avoided in order to maintain original spatial cadence, relationship of horizontal and vertical permissible, and restoration/redesign of north end should be guided by historic photos, as available, and proposed use. New west wall shou d be located in alignment with east edge of the concourse, which separated the front mass and other recreation/dining activities with the rear bowling lanes (no longer extant). Roof: Flat roof with slight, blocked height variance on north end and prominent, off-centered, projecting front A-frame Treatment: Front A-frame must be retained and preserved/protected or repaired/restored, as needed, and setback, height and design of new construction must not detract from its prominence. Original roofing should be assessed and preserved or repaired/restored, as needed. Replacement is discouraged, but if necessary, in-kind or replacement material should be determined in consultation with JMRC for compatibility with smooth finish JMRes

ure. Added rooftop elements such as HVAC equipment should be ened from street v'ew by u "zing shield effects of height, setback, and ting structures, it original (TBD).New sh'e|ding structures should be designed onsultation with JMRC to bend with varied-he'ght, block like rooftop ments.
a|s: Steel-framed with smooth, unsheathed precast concrete panels with ertical seams, cantlevered mansard 'ke roof element on north end (possible heathing TBD)supported on facade baffles and square concrete column on orth
reatment: Existing concrete wa is should remain unsheathed, and necessary repairs should match in material and fin‘sh texture. New walls should be designed in consultation with JMRC to be compatib e with overall character of the building, exist'ng mater'a|, and finish. Seams or scoring pattern of new alls may replicate or be compatible in s'mpic'ty with, existing walls, or no scoring pattern may be used. Eaborate patterns ‘n new walls should be avoided. Design and construction methods shou d ensure sensitive and discreet transitions at h'storic junctures avo‘d damage to existing historic features, and able to be reversed w'thout mater'a y compromising historic features or the overall character of the property.
Fenestration: Boarded, metal-framed g azed entry assembly and facade windows behind courtyard wall; other w'ndows and operation of windows TBD Treatment: Original windows shoud be repaired/restored, as needed, in original window openings. Missing w‘ndows in orig'na| openings should be replaced in kind, as guided by phys’ca| evidence. New windows or openings should not be introduced on the facade but are permissible on secondary elevations and should be designed ‘n consultation with JMRC. Inappropriate windows in original openings if they exist, shou cl be replaced with matching or compatible selections,
match or be compatible with orig’nal w'ndows in material and operation. ?r: Monumenta, 6(}foot reverse tr'angu|ar neon s'gn at Rimsdale Avenue, exaggerated folded plate canopy, prominent fu l-he'ght glazed assembly and Mayan-themed curved wall (ca. i970) recessed within offcentered front A- frame gable Treatment: Monument sign should be preserved, and cleaned. repaired/restored, and relit, as needed and determined by a specialty contractor. Stylized, boomerang "C" replacement letter should be returned to original "Covina" script lettering returned should be returned.

restored, as needed after assessment. The Mayan-themed curved wall (ca. 1970, possibly I962/1965), which has gained significance 'n its own right, w'| be retained. Interior/exterior points of intersection with Mayan wa are roughy transitioned at intrusion into entry and Pyramid Room and should be assessed in consultation with JMRC. Practical (i.e., water tightness) and aesthet'c modifications may be minimally undertaken to improve existing cond'tion.
Details: Unpainted Bouquet Canyon rock piers, facade courtyard, and accent walls; cantilevered, exposed-structure canopy on north eevat'on tr'angu|ar facade baffles, north courtyard behind large Bouquet Canyon rock wal Treatment: Bouquet Canyon rock walls and piers at facade courtyard, fo ded plate entry, and in accent walls should be retained and rema'n unpa'nted.
Triangular baffles on facade should be retained. Canopy at north concourse entry should be retained in place, which may requ're the addition of a supporting column designed in consultation with JMRC. If the project des'gn does not allow for retention in place, it may be relocated/reused on the new rear west or south walls. The north courtyard may be removed to accommodate new construction; however, rock wal should be relocated or reimagined elsewhere on site, preferably on north end.
Interior: North—south green terrazzo concourse and steps, tiled mosaic covered/removed,
Pyramid Room and over coffee shop dining, unpainted Bouquet Canyon rock diner wall, and original coffee shop diner counter, service area, seating space, appliances, and fixtures (remodeled ca. late-19705) Treatment: The l0—foot~widenorth—southgreen terrazzo concourse should be retained as an exterior pathway beyond the new west wall that willlead to a proposed lawn bowling area. The concourse should be retained to the maximum width possible; however, should necessary site development require, it may be reduced to no lessthan four feet wide. Terrazzo should be preserved and further treatment, including restoration and repair, cleaning, protection for outdoor use, and possibly replacement of damaged areas with unused material should be determined by a qualified professional. Bouquet Canyon rock interior wall at diner should be retained as an interior/exteriorfeature as part of the new west wall, and treatment design should be coordinated with JMRC to allow for exposure to exterior seasonal conditions. Coffee shop counter and service area should be retained: appliances and fixtures should be assessed for working status and potential for repair by a qualified professional with the preference to restore and encouraged reuse. Remodeled dining seating area should be retained, if possible, to support return to use as a coffee shop or restaurant but may be remodeled: dropped ceiling feature in dining room should be retained, if possible. Tile concourse
bulkheads (extent and damage beneath covering TBD) are outside th e boundaries of the proposed Covina Bowl footprint and cannot b e incorporated in place. Bulkheads may be removed; salvage of tile should b e assessed for feasibility, and tile should be reused in garden or interpretive feature, if possible. Dropped ceiling in entry should be removed to expose and repair/restore original full-height ceiling and entry windows. Folded ceilin g detail in Pyramid Room is likely a later modification (ca. 1970); it should b e assessed for appropriateness and retained or removed, accordingly.
Setting 8. New Construction: Deep setback with L—shaped parking on front and side of corner, asphalt lot, ground-level and low-raised planters wit h subtropical plantings, large accent boulders, original tiki lights, and ne w construction on balance of site
Treatment: Maintain setback and relationship to parking; parking may b e enlarged or reduced, as needed, but should retain Lshape wrap around th e building. Maximize retention in place of planters, mature landscaping. trees and boulders, relocating onsite if unable to retain in place. Trees and mature landscaping may be replaced if health assessment precludes retaining i place or relocation. New plantings should match in species whenever possible. or subtropical species that mimic existing in height, size, color, and foliage characteristics should be selected. Assess historic tikilights in front planters an d repair/restore. ifpossible, and reinstall in or near original location. Design of ne w construction and site improvements should reference, not mimic, characterdefining features and materials such as the folded plate angle, rock detail . and muted color palette to ensure the Covina Bowl relates to new construction in compatible prominence. New buildings should not be constructed to th e east or north of the Covina Bowl to maintain its corner orientation and allow i t
s
continued visibility to pedestrian and motorist. New buildings should no t exceed the pyramid in height and be properly distanced on the south t ensure visual relationship without compromising prom'nence. ]M Resea
