RE: HISTORIC PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION MEMORANDUM AND FINDING OF NO HISTORIC
PROPERTIES AFFECTED FOR THE POINTE COMM ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT, CITY
OF FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Fregoso:
The City of Fullerton is proposing to use US De partment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for the Pointe Common Affordable Housing Project. The project meets the definition of an “undertaking” according to 36 Code of Federal Regu lations (CFR) Section 800.16(y). In support of the project, Michael Baker International completed a So uth Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) records search; a literature, aeri al photograph, and historical ma p review; local interested party consultation; Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File search; Native American outreach; archaeological field survey; and archaeological sensitivity assessment. Additionally, a Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC) paleontological records search and search of online and published databases were completed to identify paleontological localities and sensitivity for paleontological resources. These studies were conduc ted in order to determine whether the project could result in adverse effects to historic properti es in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and significant impa cts to historical and paleontological resources in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Methods, results, and recommendations are summarized below.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to construct a 65-unit affordable housing development with surface parking, open space amenities, and a family tot lot, with a total building area of 75,972 square feet, on a 2.25-acre (98,166 square feet) parcel located at 1600 West Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, California. The residential development would consist of one st ructure, with two- to three-story massing. The development would utilize four different unit plans that consist of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from approxim ately 579 to 1,126 square feet, and a unit designated for property manager’s use. All of the 65 units would be moderate for-sale affordable units.
The project site is currently vacant and was distur bed by the demolition of the former building and surface parking lot between 2007 and 2009. The project is located near the intersection of West Commonwealth Avenue and North Basque Avenue. The project site is made up of one parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN] 030-290-22) and is surrounded by residential uses to the north, commercial uses to the east, and a railroad to the south and west. The project would be funded, in part, by funds administered by HUD.

Today, the closest watercourses are Fullerton Creek, located approximately 0.6 miles south of the area of potential effects (APE), and Brea Creek, located approximately 0.38 miles north of the APE. Both now flow through concrete-lined flood control channels.
AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS
The APE for the undertaking is identified as the boundary of APN 030-290-22 as this includes the maximum extent of ground disturbance associated with the development of the project (see Attachment 1 ). The vertical APE is 15 feet below ground surface to encompass the maximum depth of excavation anticipated for the project. The APE is located in an urban area surrounded by a railroad and existing development of a similar size and scale.
CULTURAL RESOURCES IDENTIFICATION METHODS
The results of the SCCIC records search, archival research, literature, historical map , and aerial photograph review, field survey, local interested party consultation, NAHC Sacred Lands File search, Native American outreach, and archaeological site sensitivity analysis are presented below.
SOUTH CENTRAL COASTAL INFORMATION CENTER
On September 26, 2022 , Michael Baker International Senior Archaeologist Marc Beherec PhD, RPA, conducted a records search at the SCCIC. The records search included the APE and a half -mile radius (see Attachment 2 ). The SCCIC, as part of the California Historical Resources Information System, California State University, Fullerton , an affiliate of the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) and the State Historic al Resources Commission (SHRC) , is the official state repository of cultural resources records and reports for Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties. Michael Baker International supplemented this search with available online databases maintained by federal and state repositories. As part of the records search, the following federal and California inventories were reviewed:
• National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (National Park Service 2020). • Archaeological Resources Directory for Orange County (OHP 2022a). The directory includes the OHP determinations of eligibility for archaeological resources in Orange County. • Built Environment Resources Directory for Orange County (OHP 2022b). The directory includes resources reviewed for eligibility for the NRHP and the California Historical Landmarks programs through federal and state environmental compliance laws, and resources nominated under federal and state registration programs, including the NRHP , California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), California Historical Landmarks, and California Points of Historical Interest. • California Historical Resources (OHP 2022c).
Results
Previous Studies
The records search revealed that the APE has not been previously studied. Five cultural resources studies have previously been completed within a half-mile radius of the APE, as outlined in the below table.

Results
The earliest habitation of the Los Angeles Basin and Santa Ana River watershed likely occurred in the Paleocoastal or Paleoindian period, which is generally dated between about 13,000 and 8,500 b efore present (BP) (Arnold , Walsh, and Hollimon 2004; Moratto 1984; Erlandson et al. 2007). These earliest inhabitants were highly mobile hunter- gatherers who left behind little in the way of archaeological remains.
The first uncontested evidence of human occupation in this area dates to about 9,000 BP. It is associated with the Millingstone Cultural Horizon, or as it is also known, the Encinitas Tradition. Millingstone populations established permanent settlements that were located primarily on the coast and in other locations with reliable water sources and a variety of potential foodstuffs. There they relied heavily on shellfish, seeds, and small animals. The period takes its name from the appearance of ground stone artifacts. In the Early Millingstone , these ground stone artifacts are manos and metates, but after approximately 5000 BP, when acorns become important in the diet, mortars and pestles become an important component of the artifact assemblage (Warren 1968; Sutton and Gardner 2010).
The period between 3,500 BP and 1,500 BP is known as the Intermediate period. Increasing population pressures led to intensified exploitation of existing terrestrial and marine resources. The intensified resource procurement was enabled by technological innovations such as the circular fishhook on the coast, greater use of the mortar and pestle to exploit acorns more efficiently, and the use of the dart and atlatl to diversify hunting (Erlandson et al. 2007). Larger numbers of settlements that are also bigger in size are observed in the archaeological record, suggesting a larger and more sedentary population.
Trade networks and greater craft specialization were developed during this period.
During the Late Prehistoric, which began approximately 1,500 BP and continued until European intrusion, is the period of the development and florescence of the Native American tribes encountered

by the Spanish. Late Prehistoric subsistence consisted of hunting, trapping, fishing, and gathering, and continued the pattern of increased population and sedentism.
Ethnohistoric and Early Historic Context
Spanish explorers first visited the coast of southern California in 1542. But European settlement did not begin in the area until 1769, when Gaspar de Portola led an exploratory mission intended to open up Alta California to settlement. On September 8, 1771, Franciscan friars established Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, approximately 37 miles west of the APE . The APE was located within the area allotted to Mission San Gabriel, and the Franciscans called the local Native Americans Gabrielinos after the mission.
Gabrielino territory included the Los Angeles Basin, parts of the Santa Ana and Santa Monica Mountains, and San Clemente, San Nicolas, and Santa Catalina Islands. The Gabrielino spoke a dialect of the Cupan group of the Takic la nguage family (Bean and Smith 1978: 538 -549). Gabrielino villages were most common along the coast and along the region’s major rivers, where villages formed of domed semipermanent structures the Spanish likened to half-oranges centered around a temple and the home of the village chief. The Gabrielino villages Pasbengna and Hotuuknga were located along the Santa Ana River in the vicinity of the project site, with Pasbengna located in or near today’s Santa Ana, and Hotuuknga located in today’s Yorba Linda (McCawley 1996). Other villages, the names of which are not recorded, may have also existed in the area. The resource procurement areas of these known and unknown villages likely included the APE. By the early 1800s, as introduced diseases led to population decline, and Spanish use of the land for agriculture and grazing made the Gabrielinos’ reliance on their traditional lifestyle increasingly untenable, the majority of California’s coastal Native American populations had entered the mission system (Jackson 1999).
In 1784, the APE was part of a vast tract granted by the Spanish Crown to Manuel Nieto and known as Rancho Los Nietos. Native Americans continued to live on the land grant and made up much of the rancho’s work force. California’s Native Americans sometimes preferred to live as vaqueros and laborers on the region’s vast land grants in order to avoid living more directly under the mission system (Phillips 2010).
In 1821, Mexico won its independence from Spain. The new state was secular in nature and moved increasingly towards secularization of the mission and dispersal of the mission properties among politically connected elites. In 1834, the missions were secularized and their lands divided up. Little of the missions’ lands and wealth went to the Native Americans. The same year, Mexican Governor Jose Figueroa broke up the land grant at the request of Nieto’s heirs, and the APE was included in the 48,806- acre Rancho Los Coyotes. More than 600 ranchos were granted between 1833 and 1846 as the Mexican government sought to solidify its authority over Alta California amid fears of intrusion by the United States.
California was captured by the United States during the Mexican -American War of 1846–1848. The discovery of gold in California led to a population boom in the 1850s and 1860s. The completion of the transcontinental Santa Fe Railroad in 1886 led to increased land speculation and development (Meyer 1981).
APE Development History
Early maps indicate that the APE was undeveloped until the middle twentieth century. The APE is located within the boundary of the 1834 Rancho Los Coyotes land grant. The first United States General Land Office land survey from 1894 shows n o development in or around the APE (GLO 1894). Late

nineteenth and early twentieth century maps show t he Tustin branch of the Southern California Railroad passes just south of the APE, and an unlabeled road , today’s Commonwealth Avenue, runs parallel to the Southern California Railroad line. There is no development within the APE itself (USGS 1896, 1898, 1901, 1935, 1942). Aerial photographs taken in the early 1940s show the entire APE is occupied by an orchard (UCSB 1940,1942).
By 1949, the project area is developed with industrial buildings. Approximately 60 percent of the APE is built upon with one large building and multiple smaller buildings, and the remainder of the APE is paved (USGS 1949; NETR 2022: 1950). These buildings survived until at least 2005, but all the buildings and structures on the property were demolished by 2009 (NETR 2022).
INTERESTED PARTIES CONSULTATION
Historical Society Consultation
On September 30, 2022, Michael Baker International emailed a letter and a figure depicting the APE to the Fullerton Historical Society. The correspondence requested any information or concerns regarding historic properties within the APE. On October 20, 2022, the Fullerton His torical Society responded, stating, “There are no concerns from a historic preservation perspective on this property.” Historical society correspondence is included in Attachment 3.
Native American Consultation
On September 29, 2022, the HUD Tribal Directory Assessment Tool ( TDAT) was searched for federally recognized tribes with ties to the APE. The search results stated, “ Tribal data is not available as of October 2017. Please send comments and updated information to [email protected].” There are no federally recognized tribes with reservations in Orange County.
On September 29, 2022, Michael Baker International sent an email describing the project to the NAHC in Sacramento, asking the commission to review the Sacred Lands File for any Native American cultural resources that might be affected by the project. On November 9, 2022, Andrew Green, NAHC Cultural Resources Analyst, responded via email and stated that a search of the Sacred Land s File provided negative results. See Attachment 4.
On November 23, 2022, letters were sent to 17 Native American contacts identified by the NAHC as having knowledge of and interest in the APE. One additional contact, inadvertently omitted during the first mailing, was contacted on December 14, 2022. The letters included a brief description of the project and a map of the APE. The letters also included contact information for the City’s representative, and requested that he be contacted if the tribes wished to consult on the project. The letters were sent both via email and via certified US mail, as noted in the table below. Responses are sent directly to the City of Fullerton Community Development Department, and will be documented separately. See Attachment

PEDESTRIAN SURVEY
An intensive archaeological pedestrian survey of the APE was conducted on October 12, 2022, by Michael Baker International Archaeologist Marcel Young. Pedestrian transects were spaced 10 meters apart. Photographs were taken of the APE and location information for each photograph was recorded.
Ground visibility ranged between 95 percent and 100 percent. No intact native soil was observed.
Observed fills consisted of light brown colluvial silty clay, wh ich showed evidence of mass grading.
Inclusions ranged from imported pea gravels to angular cobbles with mixed native sediment and gravel fill. The slope ranged from 0 to 2 percent and the aspect was open. Vegetation consisted of landscaping trees (brush box and crapeflower), ornamental grass, autumn sagebrush, licorice weed, peacock flower, and crapeflower brush along the northeast area . Disturbances include landscaping, grading, and modern construction.
BURIED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Sensitivity for burie d archaeological historic properties is low. Geologic maps indicate that the APE is underlain by surficial deposits of Quaternary young fanglomerate (Qyfa). These are young alluvial fan deposits consisting predominately of gravel, sand, and silt dating from the Holocene to the late Pleistocene (Morton 200 4). The soil series is M ocho loam with 0 to 2 percent slopes (NRCS 2022).
Excavations into undisturbed deposits will encounter sediment that may contain evi dence of past human activity. However, d ue to the known history of the APE, which includes major ground disturbance including road building, mass grading, trenching for utilities installation, and building construction and demolition, it is anticipated tha t any archaeological resources would have been disturbed by past ground disturbance. The closest water, today or shown on historical maps, is Fullerton Creek, located approximately 0.6 miles south. The next closest watercourse is Brea Creek, approximately
0.38 miles north. Both are shown as ephemeral creeks on historical maps, and neither would have been a reliable source of water in the prehistoric or early historic periods. The lack of reliable water, coupled with previous ground disturbance, suggests that the APE has a low sensitivity for significant archaeological deposits.
PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES IDENTIFICATION METHODS
GEOLOGICAL MAPS AND GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING
As stated above, geologic maps indicate that the APE is underlain by surficial depos its of Quaternary young fanglomerate (Qyfsa). Geotechnical drilling con ducted for the project indicates that the Quaternary young fanglomerate is overlain by a layer of artificial fill (af). A total of four holes were bored to a maximum depth of 50 feet. Fill was encountered in all of the borings ranging from 0.25 to 0.33 feet in thickness (Dermendjian 2022).

PALEONTOLOGICAL RECORDS SEARCHES
Michael Baker International staff received a paleontology collection records search for locality and specimen data from the NHMLA C on October 9, 2022 (Attachment 5). The records search showed no previously identified fossil localities within the APE . One fossil localit y from the same Quaternary sedimentary deposits as the APE occurred, either at the surface or at depth, within 2 miles of the APE.
Additionally, four fossil localities from similar sedimentary deposits to those observed in the APE occurred between 3 and 5.5 miles from the APE, as documented in the table below.

The NHMLAC paleontological records search, fossil locality searches within the online databases listed above, and literature review did not identify any paleontological resources within the APE but did indicate that the geologic formations present in the APE are known to contain paleontological localities with rare, well -preserved fossil materials. These deposits are located beneath artificial fill, at depths ranging from 0.25 feet to 0.33 feet. Per mitigation impact guidelines set forth by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP 2010), due to the fossil sensitivity of the rock formations present within the APE (alluvial fan deposits of Pleistocene age), the project has a high potential to disturb paleontological resources within undisturbed bedrock.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The SCCIC records search, historical society consultation, literature and map review , field survey, and Native American outreach identified no historic properties or historical resources within the APE .
Additionally, a buried archaeological sensitivity assessment indicates low sensitivity for buried archaeological resources within the APE due to the past disturbances. Native American consultation is ongoing and will be documented separately as part of the environmental document. A finding of no historic properties affected with implemented measures is appropriate for this undertaking under Section 106 of the NHPA, and a less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated under CEQA.
Unanticipated Discoveries. Although the archaeological sensitivity of the APE is low, unanticipated archaeological materials may be encountered as a result of ground -disturbing activities. If archaeological material is uncovered in the course of ground -disturbing activities, work shall b e temporarily halted in the vicinity of the find and the project proponent shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for archaeology to evaluate the significance of the find and determine appropri ate treatment for the resource in accordance with 36 CFR Section 800.6 (Resolution of adverse effects) and Section 800.13 (Post-review discoveries).
Paleontological Monitoring. Full-time paleontological monitoring is re quired during ground disturbance in undisturbed geologic contexts (i.e., bedrock and outcrops below existing asphalt and base) which have the potential to contain significant paleontological resources. Ground disturbance refers to activities that would impact subsurface geologic deposits, such as grading, excavation, boring, etc. Activities taking place in current topsoil or within previously disturbed fill sediments, e.g., clearing, grubbing, pavement rehabilitation, do not require paleontological monitoring. Bedrock can occur at varying de pths depending on the portion of the project area , but on the basis of the geotechnical report, it is anticipated that the potentially sensitive deposits will be encountered beneath artificial fill, at depths ranging between 0.25 and 0.33 feet.
Prior to grading or excavation in sedimentary rock material other than topsoil, the applicant shall retain an SVP -qualified paleontologist . The SVP -qualified paleontologist will supervise the monitoring of earth-moving activities by a qualified paleontological monitor . If any paleontological resources are discovered at the project area during construction or during any ground -disturbance activities at any depth, the paleontological monitor, in discussion with the qualified paleontologist, will notify the on - site construction supervisor, who shall temporarily halt work or redirect all such activities within 100 feet of the discovery. The recommendations of the SVP-qualified paleontologist shall be implemented with respect to the evaluation and recovery of fos sils, after which the on -site construction supervisor shall be notified and shall direct work to continue in the location of the fossil discovery.

HOUSING PROJECT, CITY OF FULLERTON , CALIFORNIA
At this time, the applicant shall consult with the qualified paleontologist to assess the significance of the find to determine the appropriate treatment. The assessment will follow SVP (20 10) standards for identification, evaluation, disclosure, avoidance, recovery, and/or curation, as appropriate. If any find is determined to be significant, appropriate avoidan ce measures recommended by the qualified paleontologist must be followed unless avoidance is determined to be unnecessary or infeasible. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery, excavation) shall be instituted. The recommendations of the qualified paleontologist shall be implemented with respect to the evaluation and recovery of fossils, after which the on-site construction supervisor shall be notified and shall direct work to continue in the location of the fossil discovery. Any fossils recovered during mitigation shall be cleaned, identified, catalogued, and permanently curated with an accredited and permanent scientific institution with a research interest in the materials.
If no fossils have been recovered after 50 percent of excavation has been completed, full -time monitoring may be modified to weekly spot- check monitoring at the discretion of the qualified paleontologist. The qualified paleontologist may recommend to the client to reduce paleontologica l monitoring based on observations of specific site conditions during initial monitoring (e.g., if the geologic setting precludes the occurrence of fossils). The recommendation to reduce or discontinue paleontological monitoring in the project area shall b e based on the professional opinion of the qualified paleontologist regarding the potential for fossils to be present after a reasonable extent of the geology and stratigraphy has been evaluated.
A qualified professional paleontologist is a professional w ith a graduate degree in paleontology, geology, or related field, with demonstrated experience in the vertebrate, invertebrate, or botanical paleontology of California, as well as at least one year of full-time professional experience or equivalent specialized training in paleontological research (i.e., the identification of fossil deposits, application of paleontological field and laboratory procedures and techniques, and curation of fossil specimens), and at least four months of supervised field and analytic experience in general North American paleontology (SVP 2010).

Re: Native American Consultation, Pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB18), Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4, as well as Assembly Bill 52 (AB52), Public Resources Codes §21080.1, §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2, 1600 W. Commonwealth Ave. Project, Orange County
Dear Dr. Beherec:
Attached is a consultation list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places located within the boundaries of the above referenced counties or projects.
Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4 require local governments to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to cultural places when creating or amending General Plans, Specific Plans and Community Plans.
Public Resources Codes §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2 requires public agencies to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to tribal cultural resources as defined, for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) projects.
The law does not preclude local governments and agencies from initiating consultation with the tribes that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction. The NAHC believes that this is the best practice to ensure that tribes are consulted commensurate with the intent of the law.
Best practice for the AB52 process and in accordance with Public Resources Code §21080.3.1(d), is to do the following:
Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section.
The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that lead agencies include in their notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been completed on the area of potential affect (APE), such as:

1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to:
• A listing of any and all known cultural resources have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites;
• Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response; • Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE; and
• If a survey is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.
2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including:
• Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.
All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Code Section 6254.10.
3. The result of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) check conducted through the Native American Heritage Commission was negative.
4. Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the potential APE; and
5. Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the potential APE.
Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NAHC and CHRIS is not exhaustive, and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.
This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event, that they do, having the information beforehand well help to facilitate the consultation process.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC. With your assistance we can assure that our consultation list remains current.
If you have any questions, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

Re: Section 106, Assembly Bill 52, and Senate Bill 18 Consultation for the Proposed Pointe Common Affordable Housing Project, City of Fullerton, California
Dear Mr. Charles Alvarez,
The City of Fullerton (City) invites you to consult regarding the Pointe Common Affordable Housing Project in compliance with Regulations 36 CFR § 800.2, 24 CFR 58.4 (Section 106), California Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52), and California Government Code §65352 (Senate Bill 18).
The project proposes the construction of a 65-unit affordable housing development on a 2.5-acre parcel located at 1600 West Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, California. The project site is predominantly vacant and undeveloped. The majority of the site is unpaved, with the exception of the easterly portion of the site, which is paved with asphalt concrete. The site is void of structures aside from an equipment storage structure situated within the southeastern corner of the site. The proposed moderate for sale affordable unit housing project would also include ancillary facilities such as surface parking, open space amenities, landscaping, and utility improvements.
The project is located in the northwest portion of the City of Fullerton. Specifically, the project site is located at 1600 West Commonwealth Avenue at the southwest corner of West Commonwealth Avenue and South Basque Avenue (see Figures 1 through 3). The project site is made up of one parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 030-290-22). The project is located in the Los Coyotes Land Grant in Township 3 South, Range 10 West and depicted on the Anaheim, California, U.S.
Geologic Survey 7.5-minute quadrangle map as shown in Figure 2.
INVITATION TO CONSULT
The proposed project must comply with California Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52 of 2014 [AB 52]). In addition, because th e project requires the amendment of the City’s General Plan, Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) consultation requirements apply to the project. The City as lead agency intends to complete AB 52 and SB 18 consultation concurrently.
The project may be funded, in part, by Federal funds administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under Regulation 24 CFR 58.4, the City has assumed HUD’s environmental review responsibilities for the project, including tribal consultation related to historic properties pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Historic properties include archeological sites, burial grounds, sacred landscapes or features, ceremonial areas, traditional cult ural places and landscapes, plant and animal communities, and buildings and structures with significant tribal association. The City proposes to conduct Section 106 consultation concurrently with AB 52 and SB 18 consultation.
The goal of this letter is to acquaint you with this project, invite you to consult with the lead agency, and to request any information you have that may indicate an impact to tribal cultural resources or historic properties within the project area.
To ensure a timely and meaningful consultation, we request your response within 30 days from receipt of this notice under the provisions of Assembly Bill 52 and Section 106, and 90 days from the receipt of this notice under Senate Bill 18 if you wish to request consultation. Your comments and concerns are important to us and we look forward to hearing from you. If you have questions or comments, or wish to schedule a consultation meeting, please contact me at [email protected].

Re: Section 106, Assembly Bill 52, and Senate Bill 18 Consultation for the Proposed Pointe Common Affordable Housing Project, City of Fullerton, California
Dear Mr. Ralph Goff,
The City of Fullerton (City) invites you to consult regarding the Pointe Common Affordable Housing Project in compliance with Regulations 36 CFR § 800.2, 24 CFR 58.4 (Section 106), California Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52), and California Government Code §65352 (Senate Bill 18).
The project proposes the construction of a 65-unit affordable housing development on a 2.5-acre parcel located at 1600 West Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, California. The project site is predominantly vacant and undeveloped. The majority of the site is unpaved, with the exception of the easterly portion of the site, which is paved with asphalt concrete. The site is void of structures aside from an equipment storage structure situated within the southeastern corner of the site. The proposed moderate for sale affordable unit housing project would also include ancillary facilities such as surface parking, open space amenities, landscaping, and utility improvements.
The project is located in the northwest portion of the City of Fullerton. Specifically, the project site is located at 1600 West Commonwealth Avenue at the southwest corner of West Commonwealth Avenue and South Basque Avenue (see Figures 1 through 3). The project site is made up of one parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 030-290-22). The project is located in the Los Coyotes Land Grant in Township 3 South, Range 10 West and depicted on the Anaheim, California, U.S.

In addition, because th e project requires the amendment of the City’s General Plan, Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) consultation requirements apply to the project. The City as lead agency intends to complete AB 52 and SB 18 consultation concurrently.
The project may be funded, in part, by Federal funds administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under Regulation 24 CFR 58.4, the City has assumed HUD’s environmental review responsibilities for the project, including tribal consultation related to historic properties pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Historic properties include archeological sites, burial grounds, sacred landscapes or features, ceremonial areas, traditional cult ural places and landscapes, plant and animal communities, and buildings and structures with significant tribal association.

The proposed moderate for sale affordable unit housing project would also include ancillary facilities such as surface parking, open space amenities, landscaping, and utility improvements.
The project is located in the northwest portion of the City of Fullerton. Specifically, the project site is located at 1600 West Commonwealth Avenue at the southwest corner of West Commonwealth Avenue and South Basque Avenue (see Figures 1 through 3). The project site is made up of one parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 030-290-22). The project is located in the Los Coyotes Land Grant in Township 3 South, Range 10 West and depicted on the Anaheim, California, U.S.

INVITATION TO CONSULT
The proposed project must comply with California Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52 of 2014 [AB 52]). In addition, because th e project requires the amendment of the City’s General Plan, Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) consultation requirements apply to the project. The City as lead agency intends to complete AB 52 and SB 18 consultation concurrently.
The project may be funded, in part, by Federal funds administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under Regulation 24 CFR 58.4, the City has assumed HUD’s environmental review responsibilities for the project, including tribal consultation related to historic properties pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Historic properties include archeological sites, burial grounds, sacred landscapes or features, ceremonial areas, traditional cult ural places and landscapes, plant and animal communities, and buildings and structures with significant tribal association. The City proposes to conduct Section 106 consultation concurrently with AB 52 and SB 18 consultation.
The goal of this letter is to acquaint you with this project, invite you to consult with the lead agency, and to request any information you have that may indicate an impact to tribal cultural resources or historic properties within the project area.
To ensure a timely and meaningful consultation, we request your response within 30 days from receipt of this notice under the provisions of Assembly Bill 52 and Section 106, and 90 days from the receipt of this notice under Senate Bill 18 if you wish to request consultation. Your comments and concerns are important to us and we look forward to hearing from you.

re: Paleontological resources for the 1600 W. Commonwealth Project
Dear Marc:
I have conducted a thorough search of our paleontology collection records for the locality and specimen data for proposed development at the 1600 W. Commonwealth Project area as outlined on the portion of the Anaheim USGS topographic quadrangle map that you sent to me via e-mail on September 28, 2022.
We do not have any fossil localities that lie directly within the proposed project area, but we do have fossil localities from the same sedimentary deposits that occur in the proposed project area, either at the surface or at depth.
The following table shows the closest known localities in the collection of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLA).

Additionally, a number of invertebrate, vertebrate, and plant fossils were recovered from mitigation work during housing development construction on the southern side of UC Irvine campus by SWCA Environmental Consultants; however, that material is not yet catalogued into our collection.
This records search covers only the records of the NHMLA. It is not intended as a paleontological assessment of the project area for the purposes of CEQA or NEPA. Potentially fossil-bearing units are present in the project area, either at the surface or in the subsurface. As such, NHMLA recommends that a full paleontological assessment of the project area be conducted by a paleontologist meeting Bureau of Land Management or Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards.
Sincerely,
Alyssa Bell, Ph.D.
