92 that the proposed outdoor seating area would be separated from the multifamily residence by proposed surface parking, a new driveway, and the existing vacant (landscaped) land to the east.
As such, noise generated from Project construction would be further screened and attenuated.
Impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Mitigation Measure NOI-1: To reduce noise impacts due to construction activities, the Project applicant shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the City of Covina Community Development Director, that the Project complies with the following:
· Prior to approval of grading plans and/or issuance of building permits, Project plans and specifications shall include a note indicating that noise‐generating construction activities shall only occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday, with no activity allowed on Sundays or public holidays, per Covina Noise Ordinance Section 9.40.110. The construction supervisor shall ensure compliance with the Project plans and specifications, and the City of Covina shall conduct periodic inspections, at its discretion.
· Prior to initiation of construction, the contractor shall demonstrate to the City of Covina Community Development Director that equipment is properly muffled, shielded and maintained. During all Project construction, the construction contractor shall ensure that power construction equipment (including combustion or electric engines), fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with noise shielding and muffling devices (consistent with manufacturers’ standards) during the entirety of construction of the proposed Project. The combination of muffling devices and noise shielding shall be capable of reducing noise by at least 5 dBA from nonmuffled and shielded noise levels. All equipment shall be properly maintained to ensure that no additional noise, due to worn or improperly maintained parts, would be generated.
· The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that would create the greatest distance between construction‐related noise sources and noise‐sensitive receivers nearest to the Project Site during all construction activities.
b. Would the project result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels?
Less Than Significant. Project construction can generate varying degrees of groundborne vibration, depending on the construction procedure and the construction equipment used.
Operation of some heavy-duty construction equipment generates vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in amplitude with distance from the source. The effect on buildings in the vicinity of the construction site often varies depending on soil type, ground strata, and construction characteristics of the receiver building(s). The results from vibration can range from no perceptible effects at the lowest vibration levels, to low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibration at moderate levels, to slight damage at the highest levels. Groundborne vibrations from construction activities rarely reach levels that significantly damage structures.
The types of construction vibration impact include human annoyance and building damage.
Human annoyance occurs when construction vibration rises significantly above the threshold of human perception for extended periods of time. Building damage can be cosmetic or structural.
Project construction would involve the use of typical construction equipment and would not involve

July 2023 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
93 heavy-duty equipment capable of generating excessive vibration impact. Construction for the Project (approximately 11 months) would be short term and vibration-generating equipment would not stay in one place. As such, this analysis focuses on building damage.
Typical vibration produced by construction equipment is illustrated in Table XIII-5, Typical Vibration Levels for Construction Equipment.

Notes:
1. The nearest sensitive receptor (i.e., multifamily residence to the east) is located approximately 180 feet from the Project boundary.
Calculated using the following formula:
PPV equip = PPVref x (25/D)1.5
where: PPV (equip) = the peak particle velocity in inch-per-second of the equipment adjusted for the distance; PPV (ref) = the reference vibration level in inch-per-second from Table 7-4 of the FTA Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual; D = the distance from the equipment to the receiver.
Source: Federal Transit Administration, Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual, September 2018. Table 7-4 Vibration Source Levels for Construction Equipment.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has published standard vibration velocities for construction equipment operations. For non-engineered timber and masonry buildings (i.e., most residential structures), the FTA architectural damage criterion for continuous vibrations is 0.2 inch‐ per‐second. The nearest sensitive receptor would be the multifamily residence located approximately 180 feet from proposed construction areas. As shown in Table XIII-5, vibration velocities from heavy construction equipment operations typically used during construction range from 0.0002 to 0.0046 inch‐per‐second PPV at 180 feet. Therefore, vibration from construction equipment vibration would not exceed the FTA architectural damage criterion for residential buildings and building damage would not occur at the nearest sensitive receptor. Impacts would be less than significant.
c. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project exposure of people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. The nearest public use airport to the Project Site is the Brackett Field Airport, located approximately 6.5 miles east. Additionally, the Project Site is not in the vicinity of a private airstrip.
Therefore, no impact would occur.

Explanation of Checklist Responses
a. Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? Less Than Significant Impact. The Project includes the development of a 68-room hotel with the employment of 15 hotel staff. As discussed in Checklist Section XI, Land Use and Planning, of this IS/MND, the proposed hotel uses would be consistent with the permitted land uses on-site.
No housing units would be developed as part of the Project, and no new or expanded urban infrastructure would be constructed that could foster increased development intensity on-site or at surrounding properties. Similar to other construction projects in the region, the Project construction workers are expected to be drawn from the large, available regional labor force, who would commute to the Project Site during the estimated 11-month construction period. As such, the Project would not induce construction employees to move to the Project vicinity. During operation, the Project would provide short-term stays for guests and would not provide long-term residences. Under existing conditions, the Project Site is occupied by a 6,221-square-foot building and a 485-square-foot building with commercial uses, which are estimated to employ approximately 33 employees.62 The Project would require 15 employees, which would be a net reduction of employees on-site. As the Project’s employment opportunities would be nominal and likely filled by individuals who already reside in the area, the Project’s employment opportunities would be within the planned growth for the City. Therefore, the Project would not induce substantial unplanned population growth in the City, and impacts would be less than significant. b. Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact. The Project Site does not currently provide housing and is zoned for commercial uses. Construction or operation of the Project would not displace any people or housing. Thus, the Project would not necessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere, and no impact would occur.
62 (6,706 square feet) × (0.0047897 employees per square foot) = approximately 33 employees, based on the CovinaValley Unified Developer Fee Justification Study, September 7, 2021.

96 of the Project, staging would occur within the Project Site. Access to and along Azusa Avenue adjacent to the Project Site would remain unobstructed, and Glentana Street would remain accessible to emergency vehicles. During operation, as the Project would not develop residential uses, the Project would not generate a permanent residential service population. While the Project would result in an estimated net reduction of 18 employees on-site, the Project’s hotel uses would introduce short-term guests on-site. As such, the Project would have an increased demand of fire protection services when compared to existing conditions. However, the Project would be required to comply with the California Fire Code, which the City has adopted by reference per CMC Section
14.12.010. The City of Covina’s fire suppression, prevention, education, permitting/planning, and inspection services are provided pursuant to a contract with the LACoFD.66 Specifically, the Project would comply with LACoFD requirements related to fire sprinkler systems, fire flow, fire alarms, and emergency access. Adequate access for emergency vehicles to Azusa Avenue would be provided by a new Project driveway. While the Project would not propose changes within major public streets such as Azusa Avenue, the Project would relocate an existing alley less than 100 feet to the east within the Project Site. The relocated alley would still provide ingress and egress along Glentana Street, which is a dead-end street to the east (i.e., not an evacuation route).
Furthermore, the Project would be required to undergo site plan review and obtain approval from the City to verify that the Project complies with all applicable safety and access requirements.
Furthermore, in City of Hayward v. Board of Trustees of California State University Ruling (2015) 242 Cal. App. 4th 833, the court found that Section 35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution requires local agencies to provide public safety services, including fire protection, and that it is reasonable to conclude that the City will comply with that provision to ensure that public safety services are provided.67 Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to affect fire protection demands to the extent that new or physically altered fire facilities would be required. Impacts on fire protection services are anticipated to be less than significant. a.ii) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for police protection services? Less Than Significant Impact. The Covina Police Department (CPD) employs 99 personnel to provide full public safety services to the City’s 48,619 citizens over a 7-square-mile area.68 The department is located at 444 N. Citrus Avenue, approximately 1.1 miles east of the Project Site.
Specifically, the Project Site is located within the CPD West Service Area.69 As the Project does not involve the development of housing, the Project would not increase the permanent service population on-site and law enforcement demands from the Project Site. The Project would generate 15 employees (a net reduction of 18 employees) and short-term hotel guests on-site.
During construction, the Project Site would implement temporary security measures, such as fencing, lighting, and locked entry to secure the site. During operation, the Project would include surveillance security devices and safety lighting in interior and exterior areas of the Project. In addition, as with other projects, the Project would be required to pay any development fees and local taxes, which would support any expansion of police protection services that may be required 66 City of Covina, Adopted Budget FY 2021–22.

97 based on growth within the City. However, no capital improvements related to police services within the City are currently being planned.70 Furthermore, in City of Hayward v. Board of Trustees of California State University Ruling (2015) 242 Cal. App. 4th 833, the court found that Section 35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution requires local agencies to provide public safety services, including police protection, and that it is reasonable to conclude that the city will comply with that provision to ensure that public safety services are provided.71 Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to affect police protection demands to the extent that new or physically altered police protection facilities would be required. Impacts on police protection services are anticipated to be less than significant.
a.iii) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for schools? No Impact. The Project Site is located within the Covina-Valley Unified School District and is served by Workman Elementary School (grades K-5), Traweek Middle School (grades 6-8), and Covina High School (grades 9-12).72 The Project would provide hotel uses and would not house residents that could, in turn, generate school students. In addition, under existing conditions, the Project Site is occupied by a 6,221-square-foot building and a 485-square-foot building with commercial uses, which are estimated to currently provide approximately 33 employees.73 The Project would provide 15 employment opportunities; thus, the Project would result in a net reduction of 18 employment opportunities and would not result in a new student population from the Project Site. Furthermore, the Project would be subjected to levied developer fees applicable to both new construction and reconstruction projects, pursuant to Education Code Section 17620, to support school facilities. The Project is not anticipated to create demands on public school facilities to the extent that new or physically altered facilities would be required. Therefore, no impact would occur.
a.iv) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for parks? Less Than Significant Impact. Parks and recreational facilities in the vicinity of the Project Site are operated and maintained by the City of Covina Parks & Recreation Department. Nearby parks and recreational facilities include Covina Park at 301 4th Avenue (0.71 miles southeast); Edna Park at 220 W. Edna Place (0.84 miles northeast); Hollenbeck Park at 1250 N. Hollenbeck Avenue (0.93 miles northeast); Heritage Plaza Park at 400 N. Citrus Avenue (1 mile east); Cougar Park at 150 W.

As discussed above, the Project proposes the development of a 68-room hotel and employment of 15 hotel staff. The Project would also provide an indoor fitness area and outdoor patio area onsite for use by hotel guests. The Project would not develop residential uses and would not increase demands for park facilities from permanent residents. As such, the Project would not affect the City’s current parkland to population ratio of 1.3 acres of open space for each 1,000 residents.75 In addition, as described above, the Project would result in a net reduction of employees on-site. During Project construction and operation, employees would be anticipated to use the parks near their homes during non-work hours. As such, the demand that employees would have on parks would not increase when compared to existing conditions. Furthermore, the Project would provide short-term stays for hotel guests and would not provide long-term residences. Thus, any demand for usage of parks by hotel guests would be negligible. Overall, the Project is not anticipated to create new or additional demands to the extent that new or physically altered parks would be required. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. a.v) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for other public facilities?

As discussed above, the Project’s hotel uses would result in a net reduction of employees on-site. During Project construction and operation, employees would be anticipated to use the libraries or near their homes during non-work hours. As such, the demand that employees would have on libraries would not increase when compared to existing conditions. In addition, the Project would provide short-term stays for hotel guests and would not provide long-term residences.
Thus, any demand for usage of libraries by hotel guests would be negligible. Overall, the Project is not anticipated to create new or additional demands to the extent that new or physically altered libraries would be required. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. 74 City of Covina, Parks & Facilities, https://covinaca.gov/parksrec/page/parks-facilities, accessed July 28, 2022. 75 City of Covina, General Plan, Natural Resources and Open Space Element, 2000, page D-20.

Explanation of Checklist Responses
The discussion and analysis in this section are based, in part, on the Avid Hotel – Technical Memorandum (Transportation Memo) prepared by Jano Baghdanian & Associates for the Project, which is included as Appendix G of this IS/MND. Documentation of the City’s completed review and approval of the Transportation Memo is also included in Appendix G of this IS/MND. a. Would the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities? Less Than Significant Impact. The Project was reviewed in accordance with the City of Covina Transportation Study Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service Assessment (October 2020). The discussion related to VMT is provided below in response to Checklist Question XVII.b. According to the guidelines, a LOS analysis shall be required for a proposed project when either the a.m. or p.m. peak hour trip generation from the proposed development is expected to exceed 100 vehicle trips and for projects that will add 51 or more trips during either the a.m. or p.m. peak hours to any intersection.
As detailed in the Transportation Memo, the Project would generate 21 net trips in the a.m. peak hour on weekdays, 27 net trips in the p.m. peak hour on weekdays, and 49 peak hour trips on Saturdays. The Project would generate fewer than 100 a.m. and p.m. peak hour trips, and the Project would not add 51 or more trips during the a.m. or p.m. peak hour to any nearby intersection. Therefore, a comprehensive traffic study with LOS analysis is not required.
With regard to transit, the nearest bus stop is approximately 443 feet south of the Project Site, and the Covina Metrolink Station is located approximately 1 mile northeast of the Project Site. As the Project construction staging would be limited to the Project Site, the Project would not obstruct the transit stops or impede operation of the vicinity’s transit options. During operation, the Project would result in a net reduction of employees on-site and a generation of short-term hotel guests.

As such, the Project would not be anticipated to generate an increase in ridership that would impair transit services.
Per the City of Covina Bicycle Master Plan, a Class II bike lane is proposed along Azusa Avenue adjacent to the Project Site.77 As the Project construction staging would be limited to the Project Site, the Project would not impede the planning or construction of the bicycle lane during the Project’s construction activities. In addition, the Project’s new right-turn ingress and egress driveway along Azusa Avenue would not have any visual or physical obstructions that would impede the construction or operation of the bicycle lane or pedestrian safety. Furthermore, as detailed in response to Checklist Question No. XVII.c, the Project’s generated outbound trips from the Azusa Avenue driveway in the a.m. and p.m. peak hours would not impact the northbound left-turn lane on Azusa Avenue at the intersection with Front Street. Moreover, the Project’s new driveway along Azusa Avenue and relocated alley along Glentana Street provide adequate widths for vehicle access and proper placement for clear visibility to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
Therefore, the Project would not conflict with programs, plans, ordinances, or policies addressing the circulation system, and impacts would be less than significant. b. Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b)?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project was reviewed in accordance with the City of Covina Transportation Study Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service Assessment (October 2020). As provided in the Transportation Memo, three types of screening from the City Transportation Study Guidelines were applied to the Project. A Project may be screened out from project-level assessment using three types of screening methods: Transit Priority Area (TPA) Screening; Low VMT Area Screening; and Project Type Screening. Should a project comply with at least one of the three above-mentioned screening steps, the project’s VMT impacts would be considered to be less than significant.
Transit Priority Area (TPA) Screening—Projects located within a TPA may be presumed to have a less-than-significant VMT impact if there is no substantial evidence otherwise.78 However, this presumption may not be appropriate if the project: 1) has a FAR of less than 0.75; 2) includes more parking than required by the City; 3) is inconsistent with the applicable SCS (as determined by the lead agency, with input from SCAG); or 4) replaces affordable residential units with a smaller number of moderate- or high-income residential units.
According to the City’s VMT Screening Tool, the Project is located in a TPA. In addition, the Project would result in a FAR of 0.82 and would provide less parking (55 spaces) than required (68 spaces). Furthermore, as described in the Checklist Section XI, the Project would be consistent with the SCAG RTP/SCS. As there are no existing residential units on-site, the 77 City of Covina, Bicycle Master Plan, 2011, Figure 4-1. 78 A TPA is defined as a half-mile area around an existing major transit stop or an existing stop along a high-quality transit corridor per Public Resources Code definitions. Public Resources Code Section 21064.3 defines a “major transit stop” as a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. Public Resources Code Section 21155 defines a “high-quality transit corridor” as a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.

proposed hotel would not replace affordable residential units with a smaller number of moderateor high-income residential units. As such, the Project would satisfy the TPA screening criteria such that Project VMT impacts would be less than significant.
Low VMT Area Screening—Residential and office projects located within a low VMT-generating area may be presumed to have a less-than-significant VMT impact if there is no substantial evidence otherwise. In addition, other employment-related and mixed-use land use projects may qualify for the use of screening if the project can reasonably be expected to generate VMT per resident, per worker, or per service population that is similar to the existing land uses in the low VMT area. Although the 68-room hotel is local-serving in nature and there is nothing unique about the Project that would attract patrons from outside of the City, as detailed in the Transportation Memo, use of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments VMT Screening Tool showed that the Project is not located within a low VMT area. As such, the Project would not satisfy the Low VMT Area Screening criteria.
Project Type Screening—Some project types have been identified as having the presumption of a less than significant impact. The City’s Transportation Study Guidelines include a list of uses that can be presumed to have a less-than-significant VMT impact, if there is no substantial evidence otherwise, as their uses are local serving in nature. Included on this list are “Localserving hotels (e.g., non-destination hotels)” and “Local serving retail projects with a total square footage less than 50,000 square feet.”
The Project would include 68 hotel rooms and comprise 30,200 square feet, which would fall within the 50,000 square feet limit identified by the Transportation Study Guidelines. The Project is designed to provide lodging to visitors and guests of local businesses and would not include a restaurant or large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces for events or conferences. No unique features that would attract patrons from outside of the City would be proposed. Given the Project’s size and amenities provided, the Project would be considered a local serving, non-destination hotel. As such, the Project would satisfy the Project Type Screening criteria such that Project VMT impacts would be considered less than significant.
Therefore, based on the above and as detailed in the Transportation Memo, the Project would satisfy two of three screening criteria and would not require a comprehensive VMT analysis.
Project impacts related to VMT would be less than significant. c. Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
Less Than Significant Impact. Impacts regarding the potential increase of hazards due to a geometric design feature generally relate to the design of access points to and from a site, and may include safety, operational, or capacity impacts. Impacts can be related to vehicle/vehicle, vehicle/bicycle, or vehicle/pedestrian conflicts as well as to operational delays caused by vehicles slowing and/or queuing to access a site. These conflicts may be created by the driveway configuration or through the placement of driveway(s) in areas of inadequate visibility, adjacent to bicycle or pedestrian facilities, or too close to busy or congested intersections.
The Project would provide a new 26-foot-wide driveway along Azusa Avenue, which would be limited to right-turn ingress and egress due to the raised median located along the center of Azusa Avenue. Vehicles that exist the Project Site from this driveway can proceed northbound along

Azusa Avenue and make a U-turn where the raised median ends at the intersection of Front Street and Azusa Avenue. As calculated in the Transportation Memo, the Project would generate 12 net outbound trips in the a.m. peak hour and 11 net outbound trips in the p.m. peak hour. The analysis provided therein concluded that even if all of the outbound trips proceed to make a U-turn at the intersection of Front Street and Azusa Avenue, the northbound left-turn lane has 220 feet length of capacity and would not be projected to be impacted by the Project.
The Project would relocate the existing alley along Glentana Street to less than 100 feet to the east within the Project Site. This new driveway and portion of an alley would be 25 feet wide along Glentana Street. Access from this driveway will have no right- or left-turn restrictions given the low volume of inbound and outbound traffic during the a.m. and p.m. peak hour. (The Project would generate a net 9 inbound trips in the a.m. peak hour and 16 inbound trips in the p.m. peak hour. The outbound trips are described above.)
Both Project driveways would provide adequate widths for vehicle access and proper placement for clear visibility to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
In addition, the Project would provide a 30-minute pickup/drop-off area along a segment of Glentana Street near the street entrance of the proposed building within the southwestern portion of the Project Site. This area is proposed to have a length of 40 feet and is subject to approval by the City’s traffic engineer.
Furthermore, the proposed uses would be consistent with the surrounding uses (i.e., commercial and retail) and would not introduce hazards due to incompatible uses. Therefore, based on the above, the Project would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses, and impacts would be less than significant. d. Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Less Than Significant Impact. Construction activities associated with the Project could potentially impact the provision of emergency services by the LACoFD and the CPD in the vicinity of the Project Site as a result of construction impacts to the surrounding roadways. As stated in the City’s Safety Element, all major public streets serve as the principal evacuation routes.79 For the Project, the nearest disaster routes would include Azusa Avenue, which is immediately west of the Project Site, and the San Bernardino Freeway (I-10), which is located approximately 1.25 miles south of the Project Site. During Project construction, staging would occur only within the Project Site. Access to and along Azusa Avenue adjacent to the Project Site would remain unobstructed, and Glentana Street would remain accessible to emergency vehicles. The Project would also be required to undergo site plan review and obtain approval from the City to verify that the Project complies with all applicable safety and access requirements. The completed Project would provide a new driveway along Azusa Avenue, which would provide adequate access for emergency vehicles to the site. While the Project would not propose changes within major public streets such as Azusa Avenue, the Project would relocate an existing alley along Glentana Street to less than 100 feet to the east within the Project Site. However, the relocated alley would still provide ingress and egress along Glentana Street, which is a dead-end street to the east (i.e., not an evacuation route). As such, the Project would not result in inadequate emergency access, and impacts would be less than significant.

a. Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k)?
Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed above for Checklist Question V.a and evaluated in the Cultural Resources Identification Memorandum (Appendix B of this IS/MND), no historical resources were identified within the Project Site as a result of the SCCIC records search; literature, map, and aerial photo reviews; historical society consultation; pedestrian survey; and California and City Register evaluations. As such, there are no known tribal cultural resources that exist on the site that are eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources or in a local register. Therefore, the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources. Impacts would be less than significant.

In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. In compliance with AB 52 (PRC 21074), which requires tribal consultation as part of the CEQA process, the City initiated consultation in April 2022. The City received a request for consultation from Chairman Andrew Salas, chairperson of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians—Kizh Nation (Kizh Nation).
Consultation occurred on May 10, 2022, between the City and Kizh Nation representatives regarding the Project. As discussed in more detail in Appendix H, the Kizh Nation asserted that the area was sensitive for tribal cultural resources based on ethnographic and historical documentation of past Native American use. In discussion with the City and as provided in correspondence dated October 22, 2021, Chairperson Salas stated that the Project Site is located within the boundaries of Kizh ancestral territory and that there is a potential to impact Kizh Nation tribal cultural resources during Project construction.
As a result, Mitigation Measures TCR-1, TCR-2, and TCR-3 provided by the Kizh Nation will be implemented such that in the event of any discovery of unknown tribal cultural resources during Project construction activities, impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Mitigation Measure TCR-1: Retain a Native American Monitor Prior to Commencement of Ground-Disturbing Activities
A. The Project applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians—Kizh Nation. The monitor shall be retained prior to the commencement of any “ground-disturbing activity” for the subject project at the Project Site. “Ground disturbing activity” shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching.
B. A copy of the executed monitoring agreement shall be submitted to the Project applicant prior to the earlier of the commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, or the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity.
C. The monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the relevant ground-disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed, locations of ground disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe.
Monitor logs will identify and describe any discovered TCRs, including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, tribal cultural resources, or “TCR”), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial goods. Copies of monitor logs will be provided to the Project applicant upon written request to the Tribe.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project
July 2023 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
106
D. On-site tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the following (1) written confirmation to the Kizh from a designated point of contact for the Project applicant that all ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve ground-disturbing activities on the Project Site or in connection with the project are complete; or (2) a determination and written notification by the Kizh to the Project applicant that no future, planned construction activity and/or development/construction phase at the Project Site possesses the potential to impact Kizh TCRs.
E. Upon discovery of any TCRs, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery shall cease (i.e., not less than the surrounding 50 feet) and shall not resume until the discovered TCR has been fully assessed by the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist. The Kizh will recover and retain all discovered TCRs in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, in the Tribe’s sole discretion, and for any purpose the Tribe deems appropriate, including for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes.
Mitigation Measure TCR-2: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects
A. Native American human remains are defined in PRC 5097.98 (d)(1) as an inhumation or cremation, and in any state of decomposition or skeletal completeness. Funerary objects, called associated grave goods in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute.
B. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods discovered or recognized on the Project Site, then all construction activities shall immediately cease. Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 dictates that any discoveries of human skeletal material shall be immediately reported to the County Coroner and all grounddisturbing activities shall immediately halt and shall remain halted until the coroner has determined the nature of the remains. If the coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American or has reason to believe they are Native American, he or she shall contact, by telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission, and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 shall be followed.
C. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2).
D. Construction activities may resume in other parts of the Project Site at a minimum of 200 feet away from discovered human remains and/or burial goods, if the Kizh determines in its sole discretion that resuming construction activities at that distance is acceptable and provides the project manager express consent of that determination (along with any other mitigation measures the Kizh monitor and/or archaeologist deems necessary). (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f).) E. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin (non-TCR) shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum, if such an
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project

107
institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes.
F. Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent further disturbance.
Mitigation Measure TCR-3: Procedures for Burials and Funerary Remains A. As the Most Likely Descendant (“MLD”), the Koo-nas-gna Burial Policy shall be implemented. To the Tribe, the term “human remains” encompasses more than human bones. In ancient as well as historic times, Tribal Traditions included, but were not limited to, the preparation of the soil for burial, the burial of funerary objects with the deceased, and the ceremonial burning of human remains.
B. If the discovery of human remains includes four or more burials, the discovery location shall be treated as a cemetery and a separate treatment plan shall be created.
C. The prepared soil and cremation soils are to be treated in the same manner as bone fragments that remain intact. Associated funerary objects are objects that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed with individual human remains either at the time of death or later; other items made exclusively for burial purposes or to contain human remains can also be considered as associated funerary objects. Cremations will either be removed in bulk or by means as necessary to ensure complete recovery of all sacred materials.
D. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and recovered on the same day, the remains will be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can be moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard should be posted outside of working hours. The Tribe will make every effort to recommend diverting the project and keeping the remains in situ and protected.
If the project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that burials will be removed.
E. In the event preservation in place is not possible despite good faith efforts by the project applicant/developer and/or landowner, before ground-disturbing activities may resume on the Project Site, the landowner shall arrange a designated site location within the footprint of the project for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or ceremonial objects.
F. Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using opaque cloth bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony will be removed to a secure container on site if possible. These items should be retained and reburied within six months of recovery. The site of reburial/repatriation shall be on the Project Site but at a location agreed upon between the Tribe and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall be no publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered.

G. The Tribe will work closely with the project’s qualified archaeologist to ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically and respectfully. If data recovery is approved by the Tribe, documentation shall be prepared and shall include (at a minimum) detailed descriptive notes and sketches. All data recovery-related forms of documentation shall be approved in advance by the Tribe. If any data recovery is performed, once complete, a final report shall be submitted to the Tribe and the NAHC. The Tribe does NOT authorize any scientific study or the utilization of any invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains.

Explanation of Checklist Responses
a. Would the project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project would involve the demolition of a single-story, 6,221- square-foot commercial building and a single-story, 485-square-foot commercial building and the construction of a three-story, 30,200-square-foot hotel building. As such, the Project Site would undergo a net increase of 23,494 square feet of development. Also, given the increase in intensity of uses, the Project would result in an increase in water demand and wastewater generation, as well as an increase in demand on other utilities, such as electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications. The existing commercial uses on-site are currently served by these utilities.

Water
Water service is provided to the Project Site by the Water Utility Division of the Department of Public Works. Based on the proposed uses, the Project would increase the water demand on-site when compared to existing conditions.
According to the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), the reliable quantities of projected water supply for Year 2023 and Year 2024 are 5,552 acre-feet per year (afy) and 5,607 afy, respectively.80 As shown in Table XIX-1, the Project would result in a net increase of 7,159 gallons per day (or approximately 8.0 afy) in water demand. The estimated water consumption of the Project is less than 1 percent of the Water Utility Division’s projected water supply for 2023 and 2024 and would not, therefore, significantly impact existing water service. In addition, the Project would be in compliance with CalGreen (i.e., would provide water-efficient appliances and fixtures) and the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, thereby ensuring efficient use of water on-site. Furthermore, the Project would be required to pay water connection fees as applicable. Therefore, the Project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new water facilities, and impacts would be less than significant.

Consistent with County methodology, the analysis of the Project’s impacts relative to water supply is based on a calculation of the Project’s water demand by applying the sewage generation rates, which also serve to estimate water demand.
Wastewater
The City’s sanitary sewer collection system is managed by the City of Covina Public Works Department. The collection system consists of about 120.5 miles of gravity sewer lines and one pump station. About 98 percent of flows from these local sewers discharge into the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) trunk sewers throughout the community, for transmission, 80 City of Covina, 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, Tables 6-8 and 6-9, based on linear interpolation of 2020 and 2025 data.

treatment, and disposal.81 The remaining sewage generated within City limits is discharged into the adjacent unincorporated areas and the City of West Covina sewer systems, which subsequently discharge into LACSD trunk sewers for transmission, treatment, and disposal. The regional trunk sewer lines deliver wastewater to one or more water reclamation plants owned by LACSD for treatment. The water reclamation plants serving the City include the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant (SJCWRP) in the City of Whittier and the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) in the City of Carson. According to the City’s 2020 UWMP, the percentage breakdown between these two plants in treating the City’s wastewater in unknown; however, the SJCWRP has a treatment capacity of 100 million gpd, and the JWPCP has a treatment capacity of 300 million gpd.82 As shown in Table XIX-2, the Project would generate a net increase of 7,159 gallons of wastewater per day. As such, the Project would result in a nominal amount of wastewater relative to the treatment capacities. Furthermore, the Project would be required to pay sewer connection fees to the sewer lines available along Azusa Avenue and Glentana Street as applicable.83 Therefore, the Project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new wastewater facilities, and impacts would be less than significant.

Stormwater Drainage
As discussed in Checklist Section X, Hydrology and Water Quality, of this IS, the existing storm drainage facilities, coupled with the Project’s proposed drywell ground infiltration system, would be adequate to accommodate Project runoff. As described in the Preliminary Hydrology/LID Memorandum, the proposed drywell ground infiltration system would retain 100 percent of the SWQDv on-site.84 The dry well overflow drains would spill the extra runoff through the curb in Azusa Avenue to mimic existing drainage conditions. No physical modifications to the existing 81 City of Covina, Sewer System Management Plan, Final Report, December 2014. 82 City of Covina, 2020 Urban Water Management Plan.

municipal stormwater infrastructure in the Project vicinity would be required to handle the Project stormwater runoff. Furthermore, in compliance with CMC Section 8.50.100, the Project’s shortterm construction activities would be required to include implementation of an erosion and sediment control plan and BMPs to ensure that discharges of pollutants are effectively prohibited and will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of water quality standards. All construction and grading activities would comply with applicable laws and regulatory documents, including all applicable City ordinances and the City’s permit regulating discharges into and from the storm drain system. Through such compliance, potential water quality impacts during construction and operation would be avoided or reduced to less than significant levels and would avoid conflicts with water quality standards. Thus, the Project would not require the construction or relocation of new or expanded stormwater facilities and impacts would be less than significant.
Dry Utilities (Electricity, Natural Gas, Telecommunications) SCE and SoCalGas provide electricity and natural gas services, respectively, to the Project Site.
These providers service the existing buildings on the Project Site. As such, Project-related improvements would include connection of existing electricity and natural gas service lines to the proposed hotel building.
SCE’s existing portfolio of resources includes renewable energy (31.4 percent), large hydroelectric (2.3 percent), natural gas (22.3 percent), nuclear (9.2 percent), and other/unspecified power sources (34.8 percent).85 This mix of resources enhances electrical system resilience by not relying on a single transmission source. SCE’s Integrated Resource Plan has a primary objective that includes system reliability, as well as establishing SCE’s planned procurement of energy to meet demands through 2030.86 Therefore, SCE’s long-term forecasts for electricity demand within its service area, which includes the Project Site, would account for Project-related electricity demand. However, should SCE determine that upgrades to existing electrical energy infrastructure would be necessary, resulting from either the demand of the proposed Project or cumulative demand increases, such off-site upgrade projects would be undertaken by SCE and would be subject to environmental review pursuant to CEQA. Attempting to estimate what environmental impacts may result from such electrical utility infrastructure improvements without knowledge of when and where the improvements would take place would be speculative.
SoCalGas is the principal distributor of natural gas in Southern California. Utility-served, statewide natural gas demand is projected to decrease at an annual average rate of 1.1 percent per year through 2035, and total statewide residential gas demand is projected to decrease at an annual average rate of 2.4 percent per year, which is faster than the 1.7 percent annual rate of decline that had been forecasted previously in the 2020 California Gas Report.87 Furthermore, SoCalGas is anticipated to meet a projected extreme peak day demand of 2,827 million cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2023 through a combination of withdrawals from underground storage facilities and flowing pipeline supplies.88 As such, because of its extremely large service area and natural gas supplies, in addition to decreasing natural gas demand, SoCalGas would have adequate capacity to support the Project. Should SoCal Gas determine that upgrades to existing natural gas infrastructure would be necessary, resulting from either the demand of the proposed Project or 85 Southern California Edison, 2021 Power Content Label. 86 Southern California Edison, 2017-2018 Integrated Resource Plan, August 1, 2018. 87 California Gas and Electric Utilities, 2022 California Gas Report. 88 California Gas and Electric Utilities, 2022 California Gas Report.

113
cumulative demand increases, such off-site upgrade projects would be undertaken by SoCal Gas and would be subject to environmental review pursuant to CEQA.
Telecommunication services are provided to the existing office buildings on the Project Site by private companies. Upgrades to the existing telecommunication infrastructure on the Project Site would involve connecting the proposed hotel building to existing telecommunications connections within the Project Site and in adjacent streets. Upgrades to existing telecommunication facilities and construction of new facilities to meet user demand are determined by telecommunication providers and subject to its own environmental review. Any traffic disruptions associated with telecommunication utility activities within the travel lanes would be addressed through routine traffic control measures.
In summary, the Project would not result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities and impacts would be less than significant. b. Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years? Less Than Significant Impact. Due to the proposed size and uses, the Project is not subject to a water supply assessment pursuant to California Water Code Section 10912 criteria.89 As discussed above, water service is provided to the Project Site by the Water Utility Division of the Department of Public Works. The City’s service area covers approximately 7 square miles encompassing the majority of the City of Covina, a portion of the City of West Covina, and an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County. The City’s main water supply sources include surface water diversions from the San Gabriel River, groundwater pumped from the Main San Gabriel Basin, and imported water, all of which are purchased from the Covina Irrigating Company (CIC).90 According to the City’s 2020 UWMP, the CIC has significantly reduced its reliance on surface water diversions from the San Gabriel River. The City’s secondary water supply source includes treated, imported surface water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) conveyed from the Colorado River Aqueduct and the California Aqueduct and purchased through the Three Valleys Municipal Water District. In the event that CIC water supplies are impacted, the City has the flexibility of relying on its treated imported water connection with Three Valleys District. In compliance with legislative requirements, the UWMP assessed the water service reliability during a normal year, a single dry year, and a five consecutive year drought, along with projections through fiscal year 2044-2045. As detailed in the UWMP, the City would be able to meet the water demands during normal years, single dry years, and five consecutive year drought periods over the next 25 years. Although adequate supplies are anticipated, the cost of those water supplies may become incrementally more expensive.
Therefore, the City will continue to maintain its water shortage contingency plan to encourage 89 In accordance with California Water Code Section 10912, projects subject to CEQA that require a water supply assessment include: (1) a proposed residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; (2) a proposed shopping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet of floor space; (3) a proposed commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet of floor space; (4) a proposed hotel or motel, or both, having more than 500 rooms; (5) a proposed industrial, manufacturing, or processing plant, or industrial park planned to house more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet of floor area; (6) a mixed-use project that includes one or more of the projects specified in this subdivision; or (7) a project that would demand an amount of water equivalent to, or greater than, the amount of water required by a 500 dwelling unit project.

114
retail customers to reduce water consumption. Furthermore, the City will adhere to mandated statewide reductions. No new water supply, storage, or distribution facilities are identified in the UWMP to address water demands of the City. Accordingly, there would be sufficient water supplies available to serve the Project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. Therefore, impacts to water supplies would be less than significant.
c. Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed above, the Project would connect to existing sewer infrastructure surrounding the Project Site. The Project would result in a net increase of wastewater generation of 7,159 gpd. As discussed in Checklist Question XIX.a, the Project would result in a nominal amount of wastewater relative to the combined 400-million-gpd capacity of the SJCWRP and JWPCP. Furthermore, the Project would be required to pay sewer connection fees to the sewer lines available along Azusa Avenue and Glentana Street as applicable. Therefore, Project impacts related to wastewater treatment capacity would be less than significant. d. Would the project generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals?
Less Than Significant Impact. According to the most recently available information from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), in 2019, the City of Covina disposed of approximately 48,285 tons of solid waste at a solid waste facility, 239 tons at the Southeast Resource Recovery Facility (a transformation facility), and 3,044 tons of alternative daily cover.91 Of the 16 facilities that received waste from the City, six facilities that accept both construction and demolition waste and municipal solid waste received more than 1,000 tons of waste, including those within and outside Los Angeles County: Azusa Land Reclamation Co.
Landfill, Chiquita Canyon Sanitary Landfill, El Sobrante Landfill, Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill, Olinda Alpha Landfill, and San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill.
Construction, demolition, and remodel activities occurring within the City generate a significant volume of debris that could be destined for landfills. In order to preserve available landfill space and maintain compliance with SB 1374, pursuant to CMC Chapter 8.09 and Ordinance 18-03, the City requires the recycling or reuse of material generated by construction, demolition, and remodel activities. All covered projects shall reuse, recycle, or divert at least 75 percent (or the statemandated diversion percentage, whichever is greater), of all construction and demolition debris from landfills or disposal sites. Accordingly, the Project would be required to prepare a pre-project recycling plan (PPRP) pursuant to CMC Section 8.09.070 to document the amount and type of materials and waste, the hauler and hauling destination, and the diversion rate. The PPRP would be approved by the City prior to issuance of a building, demolition, or grading permit. As previously discussed, the Project would demolish the existing 6,221-square-foot commercial building and 91 CalRecycle, Jurisdiction Disposal by Facility and Alternative Daily Cover Tons by Facility, Year 2021 for Los Angeles–Covina, https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/LGCentral/DisposalReporting/Destination/DisposalByFacility, accessed April 14, 2022; alternative daily cover refers to cover material other than earthen material placed on the surface of the active face of a municipal solid waste landfill at the end of each operating day to control vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging.

485-square-foot commercial building to construct a 30,200-square-foot hotel building. As shown in Table XIX-3, the Project would generate 595 tons of demolition and construction waste. After accounting for a 75 percent diversion rate, the Project would dispose of approximately 149 tons of waste to landfills.

Based on available remaining permitted disposal capacity information provided by the Los Angeles County Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (ColWMP) 2020 Annual Report, the Project’s 149 tons of demolition and construction waste would represent approximately 0.0002 percent of the Azusa Land Reclamation Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 64.64 million tons; approximately 0.0003 percent of the Chiquita Canyon Sanitary Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 54.42 million tons; approximately 0.0001 percent of the El Sobrante Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 137 million tons; approximately 0.0004 percent of the Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 35 million tons; approximately 0.001 percent of the Olinda Alpha Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 13 million tons; and approximately 0.002 percent of the San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 6 million tons.92 As such, such landfills would be able to accommodate the estimated 149 tons of post-diversion waste from the Project’s construction activities.
Once operational, solid waste generated by the Project would consist of typical waste from a hotel building. It is anticipated that Project-generated waste would continue to be accepted by the same multiple refuse disposal facilities that currently receive the City’s municipal solid wastes, including those identified above. During operation of the Project, as shown in Table XIX-4, solid waste generated by the hotel rooms and employees would amount to approximately 79 tons per year.
Based on available remaining permitted disposal capacity information provided by the ColWMP 2020 Annual Report, the Project’s 79 tons of operational solid waste would represent the following 92 Los Angeles County, Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan 2020 Annual Report, Appendix E-2, Tables 4 and 6.

percentages at landfills accepting municipal waste from the City: approximately 0.0001 percent of the Azusa Land Reclamation Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 64.64 million tons; approximately 0.0001 percent of the Chiquita Canyon Sanitary Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 54.42 million tons; approximately 0.00006 percent of the El Sobrante Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 137 million tons; approximately 0.0002 percent of the Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 35 million tons; approximately 0.0006 percent of the Olinda Alpha Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 13 million tons; and approximately
0.001 percent of the San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill’s remaining disposal capacity of 6 million tons.93 As such, such landfills would be able to accommodate waste from the Project’s operations.
Based on the above, Project construction and operation activities would not generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals. Therefore, Project impacts to solid waste facilities would be less than significant.

e. Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed above, the Project would comply with the state and City diversion requirements by reusing, recycling, or diverting at least 75 percent (or the statemandated diversion percentage, whichever is greater) of all construction and demolition debris from landfills or disposal sites. The Project would prepare a PPRP for approval by the City prior to issuance of a building, demolition, or grading permit. Furthermore, the Project would comply with City requirements to document a Post-Project Compliance Report. Specifically, within 90 calendar days following Project completion, the report must be submitted to the City with weight tickets from all haulers and facilities that handled the Project waste stream. The Project would also comply with AB 341, which set a statewide goal of 75 percent disposal reduction by 2020, by providing clearly marked, source-sorted receptacles to facilitate recycling. The Project would place these waste receptacles separate from the hotel building and, in accordance with CMC Section 8.08.140.A.2, in locations that allow for mechanical collection and which minimize 93 Los Angeles County, Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan 2020 Annual Report, Appendix E-2, Tables 4 and 6.

interference with public rights-of-way, off-street parking, and/or ingress and egress serving the premises. SB 1383 mandates organics recycling for businesses, including hotels with at least 200 rooms and on-site food facility. With 68 rooms and no on-site food facility, the Project would not be subject to organics recycling.
Based on the above, the Project would comply with adopted programs and regulations pertaining to solid waste, and City waste diversion goals, as applicable. Thus, participation in the City’s recycling programs during construction and operation would ensure that the Project would not conflict with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Accordingly, the Project would not generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals. Therefore, impacts related to solid waste generation would be less than significant.

Explanation of Checklist Responses
a. If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
No Impact. The Project Site is located in an urbanized area and is not adjacent to any wildland areas. According to CalFire, the Project Site is not located within a Fire Hazard Area or a state responsibility area.94 The nearest Fire Hazard Areas are a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) located approximately 2.4 miles southeast of the Project Site near Covina Hills, and a VHFHSZ located approximately 2.6 miles northwest of the Project Site near the Santa Fe Dam.
Therefore, no impact would occur.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. As discussed in Checklist Question IV.d, the Project’s removal of three on-site trees has the potential to interfere with a nesting bird or raptor protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Construction could also potentially occur during breeding, reproduction, and juvenile rearing periods for nesting birds and raptors (i.e., between February 15–August 31). As such, the Project would comply with Mitigation Measure BIO-1 to reduce potential impacts to nesting birds to less than significant.
As discussed in Checklist Section V, the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, and no related impacts would occur. With regard to archaeological resources, there is low sensitivity for significant prehistoric or historic period archaeological resources within the Project Site. Nonetheless, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 is included to require the proper handling and disposition of archaeological resources in the
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project

121
unexpected event that such resources are inadvertently discovered during Project construction.
Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would ensure that any impacts to archaeological resources would be less than significant.
As discussed in Checklist Question VII.f, the Project Site can be considered to have low to no sensitivity for fossils. Nonetheless, Mitigation Measure GEO-1 is included to require the proper handling and disposition of paleontological resources in the unexpected event that such resources are inadvertently discovered during Project construction. Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would ensure that any impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant. b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects? Less Than Significant Impact. CEQA requires that the analysis of potential project impacts include cumulative impacts. CEQA defines cumulative impacts as “two or more individual effects which, when considered together are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts.”95 This analysis of cumulative impacts need not be as in-depth as the analysis of the Project’s impacts, but instead is to “be guided by the standards of practicality and reasonableness.”96
The City has several proposed development projects under review. The closest project is 0.44 miles from the Project Site, while the others are located 1.0 mile or farther.97 Due to these distances, the physical and site-specific conditions of the Project Site, and with the incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in this IS/MND, the Project would not have impacts that are cumulatively considerable. In addition, although the Project would generate new short-term construction jobs in the Project area, the Project would only generate a limited number of employees to support hotel operations. The Project also does not include residential or commercial components. As such, the Project is not expected to induce any growth in the region.
In addition, as detailed in the preceding sections, the Project would not result in any significant and unmitigable impacts in any environmental categories. The Project would be consistent with regional plans and programs that address environmental factors such as air quality, energy, GHG emissions, transportation, utilities, and other applicable regulations that have been adopted by public agencies. In many cases, including aesthetics, agriculture, biological resources, cultural resources, geology, hazards, land use, mineral resources, noise, public services and recreation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire, the impacts associated with the Project are either localized to the Project Site or are of such a negligible degree that they would not result in a considerable contribution to any significant cumulative impacts. Therefore, cumulative impacts would be less than significant (not cumulatively considerable) and the Project would not result in a mandatory finding of significance in this regard.

As discussed in Checklist Sections I through XX of this document, the Project has been determined to have no impacts, less-than-significant impacts, and impacts that are less than significant with incorporation of mitigation measures. Therefore, the Project would not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, and the impacts would be less than significant.

October 2023 Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Program 1 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
1. Introduction
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(d). Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires a Lead Agency to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” State CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(d)requires that a public agency “adopt a program for reporting or monitoring on the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects.” The City of Covina is the Lead Agency for the Project and therefore is responsible for administering and implementing the MMRP. According to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15097, a public agency may also delegate reporting or monitoring responsibilities to another public agency or to a private entity which accepts the delegation; however, until mitigation measures have been completed the lead agency remains responsible for ensuring that implementation of the mitigation measures occurs in accordance with the program.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared to address the environmental impacts of the Project. The evaluation of impacts in the MND applies mitigation measures needed to avoid or reduce potentially significant environmental impacts. This MMRP is designed to monitor the implementation of mitigation measures identified for the Project.
2. Administrative Procedures and Enforcement
The MMRP shall be enforced throughout all phases of the Project. The Project applicant shall be responsible for implementing each mitigation measure and shall be obligated to provide certification to the appropriate monitoring and/or enforcement agency that each mitigation measure has been implemented. The Project applicant shall maintain records demonstrating compliance with each mitigation measure, and such records shall be made available to the City upon request.
3. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Biological Resources
Mitigation Measure BIO-1: Initiation of construction activities (i.e., initial vegetation clearing) should avoid the migratory bird nesting season (February 15 through August 31), to reduce impacts to migratory birds that may be nesting on the Project site. If construction activities must be initiated during the migratory bird-nesting season, a pre-construction nesting bird survey should be conducted for by a qualified biologist within 3 days (72 hours) prior to the start of project construction activities to determine whether active nests are present within or directly adjacent to the construction zone, in accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
If an active nest is found, the nest shall be flagged and mapped on the construction plans along with an appropriate no-work buffer, which will be determined by the biologist based on the species’
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project
October 2023 Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Program 2 sensitivity to disturbance (typically 50 feet for common, urban-adapted species, 300 feet for other passerine species, and 500 feet for raptors and special-status species). A qualified biologist (with the ability to stop work) shall monitor the nest, and the buffers may be adjusted (including increases or reductions to the buffer) by the qualified biologist on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the location, type, duration and timing, and severity of work, distance of nest from project activities, surrounding vegetation and line-of-sight between the nest and work areas, and the species’ site-specific level of habituation to the disturbance. The nest area shall be avoided until the nest is vacated and the juveniles have fledged. The nest area shall be demarcated in the field with flagging and stakes or construction fencing. A qualified biologist shall serve as a construction monitor during those periods when construction activities will occur near active nest areas to ensure that no inadvertent impacts on these nests occur. A brief memo report should be prepared by the qualified biologist to document the location of all nests found (if any), their status (i.e., eggs or hatchlings present), existing biological conditions of the project area, and the bird species detected during the survey.
o Enforcement Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Phase: Pre-construction; construction
o Monitoring Frequency: Once at Project plan check (inclusion in Project construction specifications and submittal of proof of retention of qualified biologist); Monitoring and buffer zones, if necessary, to be determined by qualified biologist and the City (at its discretion) will inspect such monitoring activities and buffer zones periodically during construction o Action(s) Indicating Compliance: Pre-construction nesting bird survey conducted by a qualified biologist; Submittal of compliance report by a qualified biologist
Cultural Resources (Archaeological Resources)
Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Archaeological Resources Inadvertent Discovery. In the event that cultural resources are unearthed during ground-disturbing activities, ground-disturbing activities must be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least 50 feet must be established around the find where construction activities cannot be allowed to continue until a qualified archaeologist examines the newly discovered resource(s) and evaluates the area of the find. Work may be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by Project construction activities must be evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist who meets the US Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards. If the resource appears to be significant, the qualified professional archaeologist, working under the direction of the lead agency and in coordination with Native American tribes and/or other stakeholders, will prepare an appropriate treatment plan for the resources. The plan may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to address treatment of the resource(s) along with subsequent laboratory processing, analysis, and curation.

Prior to commencement of any grading activity on-site, the applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist, subject to the review and approval of the City’s Building Official, or designee. In the event that paleontological resources (e.g., fossils) are unearthed during grading, the paleontology monitor will temporarily halt and/or divert grading activity to allow recovery of paleontological resources.
The area of discovery will be roped off with a 50-foot radius buffer. Once documentation and collection of the find is completed, the monitor will remove the rope and allow grading to recommence in the area of the find. The paleontologist shall prepare a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for the proposed project. The PRIMP shall be consistent with the guidelines of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP). o Enforcement Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Phase: Construction

Noise
Mitigation Measure NOI-1: To reduce noise impacts due to construction activities, the Project applicant shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the City of Covina Community Development Director, that the Project complies with the following:
Prior to approval of grading plans and/or issuance of building permits, Project plans and specifications shall include a note indicating that noise‐generating construction activities shall only occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with no activity allowed on Sundays or public holidays, per Covina Noise Ordinance Section 9.40.110. The construction supervisor shall ensure compliance with the Project plans and specifications, and the City of Covina shall conduct periodic inspections, at its discretion.
Prior to initiation of construction, the contractor shall demonstrate to the City of Covina Community Development Director that equipment is properly muffled, shielded and
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project

Tribal Cultural Resources
Mitigation Measure TCR-1: Retain a Native American Monitor Prior to Commencement of Ground-Disturbing Activities
A. The Project applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians—Kizh Nation. The monitor shall be retained prior to the commencement of any “ground-disturbing activity” for the subject project at the Project Site. “Ground disturbing activity” shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching.
B. A copy of the executed monitoring agreement shall be submitted to the Project applicant prior to the earlier of the commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, or the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity.
C. The monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the relevant ground-disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed, locations of ground disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe. Monitor logs will identify and describe any discovered TCRs, including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc.,
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project
October 2023 Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Program 5 (collectively, tribal cultural resources, or “TCR”), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial goods. Copies of monitor logs will be provided to the Project applicant upon written request to the Tribe.
D. On-site tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the following (1) written confirmation to the Kizh from a designated point of contact for the Project applicant that all ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve ground-disturbing activities on the Project Site or in connection with the project are complete; or (2) a determination and written notification by the Kizh to the Project applicant that no future, planned construction activity and/or development/construction phase at the Project Site possesses the potential to impact Kizh TCRs.
E. Upon discovery of any TCRs, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery shall cease (i.e., not less than the surrounding 50 feet) and shall not resume until the discovered TCR has been fully assessed by the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist. The Kizh will recover and retain all discovered TCRs in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, in the Tribe’s sole discretion, and for any purpose the Tribe deems appropriate, including for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes.
o Enforcement Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Phase: Construction
o Monitoring Frequency: Daily during ground-disturbing activities by Native American Monitor
o Action(s) Indicating Compliance: Retention of Native American Monitor by project applicant and submittal of executed monitoring agreement; Daily monitoring logs; Written confirmation to Kizh Nation stating completion of ground-disturbing activities, or determination and written notification by Kizh Nation to the Project applicant that no future, planned construction activity and/or development/construction phase at the Project Site possesses the potential to impact Kizh TCRs
Mitigation Measure TCR-2: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects
A. Native American human remains are defined in PRC 5097.98 (d)(1) as an inhumation or cremation, and in any state of decomposition or skeletal completeness. Funerary objects, called associated grave goods in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute.
B. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods discovered or recognized on the Project Site, then all construction activities shall immediately cease. Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 dictates that any discoveries of human skeletal material shall be immediately reported to the County Coroner and all ground-disturbing activities shall immediately halt and shall remain halted until the coroner has determined the nature of the remains. If the coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American or has reason to believe they are Native American, he
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project
October 2023 Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Program 6 or she shall contact, by telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission, and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 shall be followed.
C. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2).
D. Construction activities may resume in other parts of the Project Site at a minimum of 200 feet away from discovered human remains and/or burial goods, if the Kizh determines in its sole discretion that resuming construction activities at that distance is acceptable and provides the project manager express consent of that determination (along with any other mitigation measures the Kizh monitor and/or archaeologist deems necessary). (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f).) E. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin (non-TCR) shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum, if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes.
F. Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent further disturbance.
o Enforcement Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Agency: City of Covina Community Development Department o Monitoring Phase: Construction
o Monitoring Frequency: Upon discovery of human remains o Action(s) Indicating Compliance: Reporting of discoveries to the County Coroner; Construction continued at a 200-foot buffer from discovery; Preservation in place; Curation or offering of verified material Mitigation Measure TCR-3: Procedures for Burials and Funerary Remains A. As the Most Likely Descendant (“MLD”), the Koo-nas-gna Burial Policy shall be implemented. To the Tribe, the term “human remains” encompasses more than human bones. In ancient as well as historic times, Tribal Traditions included, but were not limited to, the preparation of the soil for burial, the burial of funerary objects with the deceased, and the ceremonial burning of human remains.
B. If the discovery of human remains includes four or more burials, the discovery location shall be treated as a cemetery and a separate treatment plan shall be created.
C. The prepared soil and cremation soils are to be treated in the same manner as bone fragments that remain intact. Associated funerary objects are objects that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed with individual human remains either at the time of death or later; other items made exclusively for burial purposes or to contain human remains can also be considered
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Covina Avid Hotel Project
October 2023 Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Program 7 as associated funerary objects. Cremations will either be removed in bulk or by means as necessary to ensure complete recovery of all sacred materials.
D. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and recovered on the same day, the remains will be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can be moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard should be posted outside of working hours. The Tribe will make every effort to recommend diverting the project and keeping the remains in situ and protected. If the project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that burials will be removed.
E. In the event preservation in place is not possible despite good faith efforts by the project applicant/developer and/or landowner, before ground-disturbing activities may resume on the Project Site, the landowner shall arrange a designated site location within the footprint of the project for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or ceremonial objects.
F. Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using opaque cloth bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony will be removed to a secure container on site if possible.
These items should be retained and reburied within six months of recovery. The site of reburial/repatriation shall be on the Project Site but at a location agreed upon between the Tribe and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall be no publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered.
G. The Tribe will work closely with the project’s qualified archaeologist to ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically and respectfully. If data recovery is approved by the Tribe, documentation shall be prepared and shall include (at a minimum) detailed descriptive notes and sketches. All data recovery-related forms of documentation shall be approved in advance by the Tribe. If any data recovery is performed, once complete, a final report shall be submitted to the Tribe and the NAHC.
The Tribe does NOT authorize any scientific study or the utilization of any invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains.

RE: CULTURAL RESOURCES IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION MEMORANDUM FOR
THE AVID HOTEL PROJECT, CITY OF COVINA, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Dear Mr. Lee:
In support of the Avid Hotel Project (project), Michael Baker International completed a cultural resources identification and evaluation study, which includes a South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) records search; literature, historical map, and aerial photo review; local historical society consultation; pedestrian survey; archaeological buried site sensitivity analysis; and evaluation of the property for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) and for designation as a City of Covina historic landmark or structure of merit. These efforts were completed to determine whether the project could result in significant impacts to historical and archaeological resources as defined by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15064.5. Methods, results, and recommendations are summarized below.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of building demolition, site preparation, and construction of a new hotel. The hotel building would contain a total of 68 guest rooms. Vehicular access is proposed from a driveway along Azusa Avenue and a driveway along Glentana Street. The project is anticipated to require removal of soil and materials of 5 to 6 feet below existing grade. The project will also include the installation a drywell infiltration system that will reach a depth of 40 feet below grade which is the maximum depth of ground distrubance. .
PROJECT LOCATION
The project is located at the adjacent addresses of 578-580 North Azusa Avenue and 865-867 West Glentana Street, both in Covina, Los Angeles County, California. The project is in Township 1 South, Range 10 West, Section 14 of the US Geologic Service Baldwin Park, Calif. 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map (see Attachment 1 - Figures). The project area totals 0.85 acres within two adjacent parcels Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 8432-006-015 and 8432-006-017.
APN 8432-006-017 has two extant buildings and APN 8432-006-015 is vacant.

NATURAL SETTING
The project area is within the northwest portion of the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province.
The Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province is distinguished by northwest-trending mountain ranges and valleys following faults branching from the San Andreas Fault. The Peninsular Ranges are 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 is located in the northeastern San Gabriel Basin and is bounded by the San Jose Hills to the southeast. Geologically, the project area is situated upon surficial sediments of alluvial gravel, sand, and silt (Qa) (Dibblee and Ehrenspeck 1999). Soil survey data indicates that the entire project area is composed primarily of urban land composed of the Palmview-Tujunga soils series complex. These two soil series are deep to very deep, well-drained soils that formed in alluvial fans from granitic or related rock sources which have slopes between 0 to 15 percent (NRCS 2022).
The project area is located within the San Gabriel Valley, which is bordered by the San Gabriel Mountains on the north, the San Jose Hills on the east, the San Rafael Hills on the west, and the Puente Hills on the south. The elevation is approximately 495 feet above mean sea level. The project area is heavily urbanized and is located within the Los Angeles Plain ecoregion. Moist and cool marine air greatly moderates temperatures and rainfall in the Los Angeles Plain with annual precipitation ranging from 10 to 17 inches. The ecoregion is nearly level with flat floodplains and terraces and very gently to gently sloping alluvial fans. The soil temperature regime is thermic.
Hydrology has been greatly modified and channelized. The San Gabriel River drains the San Gabriel Valley and Mountains (Griffith et al. 2016).
CULTURAL RESOURCES IDENTIFICATION METHODS
The methods and results of the SCCIC records search, literature, historical map, aerial photo review, local historical society consultation, pedestrian survey, archaeological sensitivity analysis, and California Register evaluation are presented below.
SOUTH CENTRAL COASTAL INFORMATION CENTER
SCCIC staff conducted a cultural resource records search (File No. 23619.9708) of the project area and a half-mile area around it on April 18, 2022 (Attachment 2). The SCCIC at California State University, Fullerton, is part of the California Historical Resources Information System, an affiliate of the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The SCCIC is the official state repository of cultural resources records and reports for Los Angeles County. As part of the records search and background research, the following federal and California inventories were reviewed:
• National Register of Historic Places (National Register) (National Park Service 2022). • California Inventory of Historic Resources (OHP 1976). • California Points of Historical Interest (OHP 1992 and updates).

In eastern Los Angeles County, where the project is located, archaeology sites have demonstrated traits of both coastal and inland desert cultural traditions. Models of California prehistory hypothesize that its first inhabitants were big game-hunting Paleoindians who lived at the close of the last Ice Age (~11,000 years before present [BP] through the early Holocene 7,600 BP). As the environment warmed and dried, Ice Age megafauna died out, requiring adaption to local resources by groups to survive. The coastal manifestation is the San Dieguito Complex and within a lifeway known as the Paleocoastal Tradition, whereas further inland this lifeway is known as the Western Pluvial Lakes Tradition (Moratto 1984). Along the coast, rising sea levels created bays and estuaries and groups adopted marine subsistence, including fish and shellfish. These resulting shell middens contain flaked cobble tools, metates, manos, discoidals, and flexed burials and indicate a semi-sedentary lifestyle (Byrd and Raab 2007). In contrast, the Western Pluvial Lakes Tradition is generally identified by an advanced flaked-stone industry of foliate, lanceolate, and long-stemmed bifaces. People hunted diverse animal species and collected a wide number of plants from diverse ecozones, but this period lacks widespread evidence of milling stones.
Therefore, hard seed processing was likely not widely practiced and inland populations were more mobile than coastal populations (Moratto 1984). The inland tradition may continue as late as 7,000 BP (Warren and Crabtree 1986).
The middle Holocene (7,600–3,650 BP) is a time of change and transition. As conditions continued to warm and dry, lakes and streams in the desert disappeared. This resulted in a shift in subsistence strategies, namely a shift to the gathering of plant seeds, grasses, and shellfish along the coast as the primary dietary staple. This shift in subsistence is what Wallace (1955) named the Millingstone Horizon. Characteristics of the middle Holocene sites include ground stone artifacts (manos and metates) used for processing plant material and shellfish, flexed burial beneath rock or milling stone cairns, flaked core or cobble tools, dart points, cogstones, discoidals, and crescentics. Large habitations are seen in the inland areas and considerable variability of site size and population are seen along the coasts.
Characteristics of the late Holocene (3,650–233 BP) include the increased dependence on mortar and pestle for food processing, including the acorn, a change to more complex and elaborate mortuary behaviors, and the introduction of the bow and arrow and ceramic technologies toward the end of the late Holocene. Marine resource exploitation proliferated and diversified. The climate fluctuated with periods of drought alternating with cooler and moister periods (Vellanoweth and Grenda 2002; Byrd and Raab 2007; Jones et al. 2004). These fluctuations resulted MBAKERINTL.COM

in dynamic regional cultural patterns with considerable local variation. Settlement strategies shifted toward permanent settlement during this period.
The project area is located within the ethnographic territory of the Gabrielino Indians approximately equidistant between the ethnographic placenames: Weniinga, located approximately 3 miles south, and Ashuukshanga, located approximately 3 miles north (McCawley 1996). The Gabrielino are Takic speakers and are descended from Late Prehistoric populations of the region. The name Gabrielino was given to the local inhabitants by Spanish missionaries who established a mission in Gabrieleno territory in 1771. Important food resources would have been acorns, agave, wild seeds and nuts, hunting game, and fishing. Due to Spanish subjugation and absorption into the mission system, the Gabrielinos’ political structure, social organization, and cultural practices were heavily impacted. Gabrielino villages were generally self-contained and had an autonomous political structure comprising non-localized lineages, in which the largest and dominant lineage’s leader was usually the village chief. Village houses were domed, circularshaped structures, constructed from tree branches and thatched with tule, fern, or carrizo. The villages would have been located near fresh water and raw material resources. Villagers would have utilized temporary camps throughout their localized territories for hunting, gathering, and raw material trips away from the main village (Bean and Shipek 1978).
The early Bureau of Land Management General Land Office survey plat depicts the project area as located due north of the lands of Rancho La Puente, although no details were mapped for the area (BLM 1865, 1869, 1877). By the late 1800s, the Southern Pacific Railroad Covina Branch traversed the area in an east-west direction approximately 500 feet north of the project area (USGS 1897). The project area was in a rural area outside of the Covina city limits in the early 1900s (Sanborn Map Company 1911, 1929). The extensive fruit-growing industry led to the development of several fruit packing houses flanking the Southern Pacific Railroad near Azusa Avenue by the 1920s (Sanborn Map Company 1929; UCSB 1928). It appears that present-day Glentana Street follows the alignment of what was a long residential driveway leading to a residence set back from Azusa Avenue (USGS 1927). The project area and surrounding vicinity consisted of orchard land dotted with single-family residences through the 1940s (UCSB 1949).
By the mid-1950s, the orchard rows in the project area were partially cleared, and at least one— possibly two—buildings were located on the site. These appear to have been single-family residences that had driveways branching off the aforementioned longer drive. Much of the surrounding orchard land to the north, east, and southeast had been replaced by residential tracts by this time (UCSB 1954).
Within a few years, the area had dramatically changed and the majority of the orchards had been lost to residential and commercial development. In 1960, Northview High School was under construction across Azusa Avenue to the northwest of the project area. Glentana Street was developed into a public street in place of the previously existing residential drive. One building had been constructed at 835 Glentana Street, but the remainder of the block west to Azusa MBAKERINTL.COM

Avenue, including the project area, was undeveloped, except for the north-south alley through the project area (UCSB 1960). The extant buildings in the western portion of the project area were constructed in 1963 (Los Angeles County Assessor 2022). Additional development occurred in the immediately surrounding area during the 1960s, including the construction of the multifamily buildings at the eastern end of Glentana Street and commercial buildings along Front Street to the north (UCSB 1968).
LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY CONSULTATION
On March 31, 2022, Michael Baker International mailed a letter and figures describing the project to the Covina Valley Historical Society. The letter requested information or concerns regarding historical resources within the project area (Attachment 3). A follow-up call to the Covina Valley Historical Society was completed on April 19, 2022, at which time curator Rosemarie Lippman stated she did not know of any historical resources in the area of the project. She stated Michael Baker International could send her a copy of the letter via email and she would distribute it to other historical society staff for input. Michael Baker International emailed the letter and figures to Ms. Lippman the same day.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT SURVEY
On April 7, 2022, Michael Baker International cross-trained archaeologist/built environment technician Marcel Young conducted a pedestrian survey of the project area. The exposed ground surface was walked over in single transects spaced approximately 10 meters apart. The slope of the survey was flat with approximately 15 percent ground visibility due to development.
Disturbances include landscaping, grading, bioturbation, human habitation/camping, and modern refuse dumping. The majority of exposed ground surface was located on the east half of the project area in APN 8432-006-015. No cultural materials or anthropogenic soils were identified within the project area during the survey.
Mr. Young also examined the two existing buildings in the project area and noted their current condition, construction, materials, and visible alterations. Documentation included photographs and field notes. A development history, description, and photographs of the property addressed as 578-580 North Azusa Avenue are included in the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms in Attachment 4.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL BURIED SITE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Sensitivity for cultural resources consisting of archaeological sites is considered low based upon no known cultural resources, various natural factors, and the previous disturbance in the project area. The SCCIC records search results and the field survey identified no cultural resources within the project area and only one historic-period resource, the Mojave Road (P-19-187085), was identified within a half-mile of the project area. The project area is located approximately 0.61 miles south of San Dimas Wash. Proximity to water, a critical resource, is significant and this distance from water indicates a lower sensitivity to prehistoric occupation. While the project is MBAKERINTL.COM

underlain by Holocene-age young alluvium (11,700 years ago to today), the soil has been heavily disturbed by modern development and is urban land according to soil mapping. According to the historical map review, the project area was first developed in the 1920s as an orchard with several buildings on the property starting in 1962.
CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION
The criteria for eligibility in the California Register are based on the National Register of Historic Places. To be eligible for listing in the California Register, a property must be at least 50 years of age (resources less than 50 years of age may be eligible if they can demonstrate that sufficient time has passed to understand its historical importance) and possess significance at the local, state, or national level, under one or more of the following criteria:
Criterion 1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage; Criterion 2. It is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; Criterion 3. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic value;
Criterion 4. It has yielded, or may yield, information important in history or prehistory.
In addition to meeting a significance criterion, a property must also have integrity or the ability to convey its significance under a majority of the seven aspects of integrity, which are location, design, materials, workmanship, setting, feeling, and association.
Below is the California Register evaluation for 578-580 North Azusa Avenue. The full historic context, evaluation, and photographs are located in Attachment 4.
Criterion 1 – Constructed in 1962, the buildings on the property were originally a combination of residential and office space. They were used as model homes and offices for a real estate development company which was not particularly productive or successful. Archival research did not indicate the property is associated with any significant events or trends in national, state, regional, or local history. While it is generally associated with post-World War II residential and commercial development, the property did not play an important role in the history of residential or commercial development in Covina and is not significant within those contexts. Thus, it is recommended ineligible under Criterion 1.
Criterion 2 – Archival research did not demonstrate that commercial property is associated with individuals who have made significant contributions to national, state, or local history. Therefore, the property is recommended ineligible under Criterion 2.

Criterion 3 – The two buildings fronting Azusa Avenue and Glentana Street were built in a Modern Ranch style, and feature long footprints, low horizontal massing, variation in elevation bays, stucco cladding, stone and brick veneer, and low-pitched hipped and Dutch gable roofs. However, they are not outstanding or high-style examples of Modern Ranch homes. The buildings are also not good examples of residential construction because they were constructed to be used as both residential and office spaces. In addition, the two buildings exhibit alterations. For example, the incongruous roof style at the location where the two buildings meet suggests the buildings may have been separate at one time, and appear to have been bridged by that section clad with rock veneer. 865-867 Glentana Street’s appearance has been notably changed by the replacement of its original wood shake roof with two different types of non-original roof tile, one of which is Spanish in style.
Additionally, the smaller ancillary building at the rear of the property does not have any stylistic features and is not representative of any particular architectural style. The buildings were not designed or built by a master architect or builder. They do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, nor do they represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. Thus, the property is recommended ineligible under Criterion 3.
Criterion 4 – National Park Service guidance for the equivalent National Register Criterion D states that certain important research questions about human history can only be answered by the actual physical material of cultural resources. The buildings do not meet the two requirements identified for eligibility under Criterion 4. The buildings on the subject property have not been used as a source of data and do not contain more, as yet unretrieved data. The buildings have not been determined, through testing or research, to be a likely source of data. Therefore, they are recommended ineligible under California Register Criterion 4, as they have not yielded and do not have the potential to yield information important to our understanding of prehistory or history of the local area, state, or nation.
COVINA HISTORIC LANDMARK/STRUCTURE OF MERIT EVALUATION
Covina Municipal Code Title 17, Chapter 17.81 states the following criteria shall be used by the planning commission and city council in designating any property as a historic landmark or structure of merit:

Criterion 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
Criterion 5. It contributes to the significance of an historic area, being a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of historic or scenic properties or thematically related grouping of properties which contribute to each other and are unified aesthetically by plan or physical development; or
Criterion 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.
Below is the Covina Municipal Code evaluation for 578-580 North Azusa Avenue. The full historic context, evaluation, and photographs are located in Attachment 4.
Criterion 1 – The buildings on the property were constructed to serve a combined use of model homes and office space for a real estate development company. Archival research did not indicate the property exemplifies or reflects special elements of Covina’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, architectural, or natural history. No associations with important events or trends within the above themes were identified. Therefore, the property is recommended ineligible under Criterion 1.
Criterion 2 – As discussed above, archival research did not indicate the property is associated with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history. Thus, the property is recommended ineligible under Criterion 2.
Criterion 3 – The buildings on the property were constructed by a real estate development company that was not particularly productive or successful. The buildings were not architectdesigned; thus, they do not represent the work of a notable architect, designer, or builder. The property is recommended ineligible under Criterion 3.
Criterion 4 – None of the buildings on the property embody distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction, or are valuable examples of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship. The two primary buildings fronting Azusa Avenue and Glentana Street were built in a Modern Ranch style, and feature long footprints, low horizontal massing, variation in elevation bays, stucco cladding, stone and brick veneer, and low-pitched hipped and Dutch gable roofs. However, they are not outstanding or high-style examples of Modern Ranch style homes. The buildings are also not good examples of residential construction because they were constructed to be used as both residential and office spaces. In addition, the two buildings exhibit alterations. For example, the incongruous roof style at the location where the two buildings meet suggests the buildings may have been separate at one time, and appear to have been bridged by that section clad with rock veneer. 865-867 Glentana Street’s appearance has been notably MBAKERINTL.COM

changed by the replacement of its original wood shake roof with two different types of nonoriginal roof tile, one of which is Spanish in style. Lastly, the smaller ancillary building at the rear of the property does not have any stylistic features and is not representative of any particular architectural style. The property is recommended ineligible under Criterion 4.
Criterion 5 – The subject property does not contribute to the significance of a geographically definable historic area with a concentration of historic or scenic properties, or a thematically related grouping of properties which contribute to each other and are unified aesthetically by plan or physical development.
Criterion 6 – The subject property is not one of a few remaining examples of an architectural or historic type or specimen in Covina, the state, or the nation.
In summary, the property does not appear to meet any of the criteria for designation as a Covina Historic Landmark or Structure of Merit.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
No historical or archaeological resources as defined by CEQA Section 15064.5(a) or Covina Municipal Code Title 17, Chapter 17.81 were identified within the project area as a result of the SCCIC records search; literature, map, and aerial photo review; historical society consultation; pedestrian survey; and California and City Register evaluations. Sensitivity for buried archaeological resources is low. There is a low potential for disturbing previously unknown archaeological resources during ground-disturbing activities associated with project construction.
Impacts will be avoided through the implementation of the below mitigation measures for the inadvertent discovery of archaeological cultural resources or human remains.
Archaeological Resources Inadvertent Discovery. In the event that cultural resources are unearthed during ground-disturbing activities, ground-disturbing activities must be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least 50 feet must be established around the find where construction activities cannot be allowed to continue until a qualified archaeologist examines the newly discovered resource(s) and evaluates the area of the find. Work may be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities must be evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards. If the resource appears to be significant, the qualified professional archaeologist, working under the direction of the lead agency and in coordination with Native American tribes and/or other stakeholders, will prepare an appropriate treatment plan for the resources. The plan may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to address treatment of the resource(s) along with subsequent laboratory processing, analysis, and curation.

Human Remains Inadvertent Discovery. If human remains are discovered during construction, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains until the coroner determines that the remains are not subject to the provisions of Section 27491 of the Government Code, or any successor statute, or any other related provisions of law concerning the investigation of the circumstances, manner and cause of any death, and the recommendations concerning the treatment and disposition of the human remains have been made to the person responsible for the excavation, or their authorized representative, in the manner provided in Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code, or any successor statute. The coroner shall make his or her determination within two working days from the time the person responsible for the excavation or his or her authorized representative notifies the coroner of the discovery or recognition of the human remains. If the coroner determines that the remains are not subject to his or her authority and if the coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American or has reason to believe that they are those of a Native American, he or she shall contact, by telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission and the Covina Building Official.
Applicable state and federal laws include California Health and Safety Code Sections 7050.5–7055 and Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code.
