EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed
1575 University Avenue
Mixed
-
Use
Project
is located in a
ful
ly developed
portion
of the City of
Riverside
in western Riverside County.
The
4.29 -
acre
project site
(APN 250
170
036)
is
located
within the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The
re is no
natural communit
y onsite
and land cove
r types within the project site
consist of developed
and ruderal
areas
,
the latter including non
-
native grasses and forbs
.
N
o special
-
status plant species were detected during the
project site
survey
.
No
special
-
status
w
ildlife species
were observed durin
g the project site survey
.
There is no
native habitat on
-
site to
support these
special
-
status species
. The removal of
2.27 acre
s
of
ruderal vegetation will
not
threaten
or endanger any
regional
wildlife
populations
and
the impact would
be
less than
signifi
cant.
The project site does not occur within or immediately adjacent to designed
critical
habitat.
W
ildlife migration corridors
do not occur within the project site
.
Thus,
no impact
to wildlife
movement and/or nursery sites is exp
ected as a result of proje
ct
development
.
The proposed
project may result in the disturbance of nest
ing birds
protected by the
federal
Migratory Bird
Treaty Act
and
the California Fish and Game Code Sections
3503
,
3503.5
, and 3513
.
Disturbance
nesting birds
would be
avoided through
compliance with the federal and state
regulations
.
The proposed project would be consistent
with
the
Western Riverside County Multiple Species
Habitat Conservation Plan (
MSHCP
)
and is within the MSHCP
development fee
area.

2.3 Field Survey
2.3.1 Biological Resources and Existing Conditions
A
general biological
site investigation
was
conducted
by
ESA
biologist Daryl Koutnik on
July
20,
2022. The biologist
conducted the survey by walking the project site to
map existing
vegetation
Biological
Assessment

/
D202200383.00
Biological Assessment Report

and
assess
the potential for special
-
status plants and wildlife to occur. The vegetation mapping effort
was
conducte
d pursuant to
Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Sensitive Natural Communities
(CDFW 2018
)
.
The
visual
inspection of species composition was deemed sufficient by the surveying biologist to accurate ly
describe each community
and the nature of biological resources
.
All incidental visual observations of flora and fauna, as well as any audible detections were noted during the
site investigation
and considered when assessing potential for special
-
status
species to
occur. All native and non
-
native natural communities and land cover types
were mapped
based on
current existing conditions, and then digitized on aerial maps using Geographic Information System software (i.e., ArcGIS).
D
escript
ions of vegetation
were characterized in the field in
accordance with
A Manual of California Vegetation
(
Manual) (
Sawyer et al. 2009); however,
the
observed plant community is not
listed i
n the Manual because of the disturbed nature of the
project site
. A detailed descripti
on of each natural community and land cover type is provided in
Section 4.3
.
2.3.2 Sensitive Natural Communities and Special
-
Status
Plants and Wildlife
ESA assess
ed
the potential for sensitive biological resources to occur within the project site.
Sensitive Nat
ural Communities
Sensitive natural communities and habitats are defined by the CDFW as those natural communities that have a reduced range and/or are imperiled as a result of residential and commercial development, agriculture, energy production and mining , or an influx of invasive and
other problematic species. Vegetation communities are evaluated using NatureServe’s Heritage Methodology (NatureServe 2022), which is based on the knowledge of range and distribution of a specific vegetation type and the prop
ortion of occurrences that are of good ecological integrity.
The communities and habitats are evaluated at both global (natural range within and outside of California [G]) and subnational (state level for California [S]) status ranks, each ranked from 1 (“
critically imperiled” or very rare and threatened) to 5 (demonstrably secure). Natural communities and habitats with state ranks of S1
–
S3 are considered sensitive and may require
review when environmental impacts are evaluated. When a community is given a rank of NR, this
indicates that it has not yet been rank
ed under NatureServe (CDFW 2022
).
Special
-
Status Plants and Wildlife
Special
-
status plants and wildlife are defined as those that, because of their recognized rarity or vulnerability to various forms
of habitat loss or population decline, are considered by federal, state, or other agencies to be under threat from human
-
associated developments. Some of these
species receive specific protection that is defined by federal or state endangered species legis
lation and others have been designated as special
-
status on the basis of adopted local policies
(e.g., city and county) or the educated opinion of various resource interest groups (e.g., Western Bat Working Group [WBWG]). Special
-
status wildlife is defined
as any of the following:
Biological
Assessment

Plant and wildlife species that are listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered, or are candidates for possible future listing as threatened or endangered, under the federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) or the Cali
fornia Endangered Species Act (CESA).
Plant and wildlife species that meet the definitions of rare or endangered under California
Environmental Quality Act (
CEQA
)
Guidelines Section 15380.
Wildlife designated by CDFW as species of special concern (SSC), in cluded on the Watch
List, or considered “Special Animals.”
Wildlife fully protected in California (
California
Fish and Game Code
[CFGC]
Sections
3511, 4700, 5050
,
and
5515
).
Plants considered by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) to be rare, threa tened, or
endanger
ed (California Rare Plant Rank [
CRPR
]
1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B plants) in California.
Plants listed by the CNPS as plants for which more information is needed to determine their status and plants of limited distribution (CRPR 3 and 4 plants).
P
lants listed as rare under the California Native Plant Protection Act ( C
FGC 1900 et seq.).
Bird species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA)
.
Eagles protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA)
Bat species considered priority
by the WBWG.
Aquatic Resources
The
project
site was assessed for its
potential
to support
jurisdictional areas
based on the
presence
of definable channels
(bed and bank)
, ordinary flow (Ordinary High Water Mark
[OHWM]
),
hydrology,
vegetation communities, a
nd Riparian/Riverine resources
that
are
subject to the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (
USACE)
jurisdiction pursuant to
Section
404 of the
Clean Water Act,
CDFW
jurisdiction pursuant to
Division
2,
Chapter
6,
Section
1600 of the
CFGC
, the Regional Wa
ter Quality Control Board (RWQCB
) pursuant to Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act
and Section 13260 of the California Water Code, i.e., the Porter -
Cologne Water
Quality Control Act
, and
riparian/riverine resources
pursuant to
S
ection
6.1.2 of the
MSHCP
(
Dud
ek
200
3 ).
Other Waters of the U.S.
Other waters of the U.S. refer to those hydric features that are regulated by the Clean Water Act but are not wetlands (33 CFR 328.4). These features extend to the OHWM, defined in 33 CFR 328.3 as the line on the shore e
stablished by fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank; shelving; changes in the character of the soil; destruction of terrestrial vegetation; or the presence of litter and debris.
In
the Arid West region of the United States, waters are variable and include ephemeral/intermittent and perennial channel forms. The most problematic ordinary high -
water delineations are
associated with the commonly occurring ephemeral/intermittent channe l forms that dominate the
Arid West landscape” (USACE 2008
a
). Delineation methods for “other waters of the U.S.” were completed in accordance with
A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark in the Arid West Region of the Western Un
ited States
(USACE 2008
b
).

According to the most recent guidance provided in the Navigable Waters Protection Rule Vacatur, adopted on January 5, 2022, the USACE and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have reverted to the pre
-
2015 definition of “waters
of the United States” and now take
jurisdiction over the following:
1. Traditional navigable waters (TNWs), which is defined as all waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, incl
uding all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
2. Wetlands adjacent to TNW, including adjacent wetlands that do not have a continuous surface connection to TNW.
3. Non
-
navigable tributaries of TNW that are relatively permanent where the tri butaries
typically flow year
-
round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months).
4. Wetlands adjacent to non
-
navigable tributaries as defined above
,
that have a continuous
surface connection to such tributaries (e.g., they are not s eparated by uplands, a berm, dike, or
similar feature).
The EPA and the USACE decide jurisdiction over the following waters, based on a fact -
specific
analysis to determine if there is a significant nexus, as described below, to a TNW.
1. Non
-
navigable tributa
ries that are not relatively permanent.
2. Wetlands adjacent to non
-
navigable tributaries that are not relatively permanent.
3. Wetlands that are adjacent to but do not directly abut a relatively permanent non -
navigable
tributary.
The EPA and the USACE generall
y do not assert jurisdiction over the following features:
1. Swales or erosional features (e.g., gullies, small washes characterized by low -
volume,
infrequent, or short
-
duration flow).
2. Ditches (including roadside ditches) excavated wholly in and draining onl y uplands and that
do not carry a relatively permanent flow of water.
Other Waters of the State
Other waters of the state, when they overlap with waters of the U.S., are those that are regulated under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and are delineated u sing the same methodology as
waters of the U.S. However, these waters are not subject to determining a nexus to a TNW. In the absence of waters of the U.S., waters may be regulated under the Porter -
Cologne Water Quality
Control Act if project activities, d
ischarges, or proposed activities or discharges could affect surface, coastal, or ground waters. The permit
requested
by the applicant and issued by the
RWQCB is either a Water Quality Certification in the presence of waters of the U.S. or a Waste Discharg
e Requirement (WDR) in the absence of waters of the U.S.
Most projects involving water bodies or drainages that display a “bed and bank” (i.e., OHWM) are regulated by the RWQCB, the principal state agency overseeing water quality at the local/regional leve
l.

Streams and Associated Vegetation and MSHCP Riparian/Riverine Areas
Pursuant to Division 2, Chapter 6, Section 1600 et seq. of the C
FGC, CDFW regulates all
diversions, obstructions, or changes to the natural flow or bed, channel, or bank of any river, s
tream, or lake that supports fish or wildlife (streams and associated vegetation). A notification of a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA) must be submitted to CDFW for “any activity that may substantially change the bed, channel, or bank of any river, stream, or lake.” In
addition, CDFW has authority, under the
C
FGC, over wetland and riparian habitats associated
with lakes and streams. The CDFW reviews proposed actions and, if necessary, submits to the applicant a draft Streambed Alteration Agree
ment (SAA) that includes measures to protect
affected fish and wildlife resources. The final SAA is mutually agreed upon by CDFW and the applicant.
Pursuant to MSHCP Section 6.1.2, Protection of Species Associated with Riparian Areas and Vernal Pools, the
potential effect of proposed project activities occurring within the MSHCP must be assessed regarding any and all impacts to riparian/riverine areas. Riparian/riverine areas include “those that contain habitat dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergen ts, or emergent
mosses and lichens, which occur close to
,
or which depend upon soil moisture from a nearby
water source; or areas with freshwater flow during all or a portion of the year” (Dudek 2003).
Potentially jurisdictional
CDFW
streams and associated
vegetation, and MSHCP riparian/riverine
areas, are determined by establishing the area within the top of bank (TOB), defined as the furthest break in slope or change in substrate, from the bed of the channel, prior to reaching adjacent upland areas (assum
ing the absence of riparian vegetation), and/or extent of riparian/wetland vegetation.

CHAPTER
3 Regulatory Framework
This section provides a summary of the federal, state, and local environmental regulations that govern the biological resources applicable to the
project site
. This section also
provides
a
summary of other state and local environmental guidelines or listings that evaluate the rarity of species
or the habitats they depend on.
3.1 Federal
Regulations
3.1.1 Federal Endangered Species Act
The United States Congre
ss passed the FESA in 1973 to protect those species that are endangered or threatened with extinction. FESA is intended to operate in conjunction with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
to help protect the ecosystems upon which endangered and thr
eatened species depend.
FESA prohibits the “take” of endangered or threatened wildlife species. “Take” is defined to include harassing, harming, pursuing, hunting, shooting, wounding, killing, trapping, capturing, or collecting wildlife species or any atte mpt to engage in such
conduct (FESA Section 3 [(3)(19)]). Harm is further defined to include significant habitat modification or
degradation
that results in death or injury to listed species by significantly impairing behavioral patterns (50 Code of Federa
l Regulations [CFR] Section 17.3).
“
Harass
”
is
defined as actions that create the likelihood of injury to listed species to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns (50 CFR Section 17.3). Actions that result in take can result
in
civil or criminal penalties.
Section 7 of the FESA requires federal agencies, in consultation with and assistance from the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Commerce, as appropriate, to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out ar
e not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat for these species. The USFWS and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) share responsibilities
for
administering the FESA. Regulations governing interagency cooperation under Section 7 are found in CCR Title 50, Part 402.
Section 7 is triggered when a federal permit or other
authorization is considered by a federal agency
, or the project receives f
ederal funding
.
The need
for federal regulatory permits (i.e.,
Clean Water Act [
CWA
]
Section 404 permit issued by the
USACE) provides a “federal nexus” by which a Section 7 consultation can occur. This statute imposes the obligation on federal agencies to
ensure that their actions (such as issuing federal
CWA permits) are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species or destroy or adversely modify its designated critical habitat. This obligation is enforced through the procedural requ
irement that agencies, such as the USACE, initiate consultation with USFWS on any actions that may affect a threatened or endangered species.
The
USFWS will determine the

proposed action is not likely to adversely affect
threatened or endangered species or
result in the
destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat for these species , or a
Biological
O
pinion
issued at the conclusion of consultation will include a statement authorizing “take” (to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, wound, kill, etc.) that m
ay occur incidental to an otherwise legal activity.
Section 9 lists those actions that are prohibited under the FESA. Although take of a listed species is prohibited, it is allowed when it is incidental to an otherwise legal activity. Section 9 prohibits take of listed species of fish, wildlife, and plants without special exemption. The definition of “harm” includes significant habitat modification or degradation that results in death or injury to listed species by significantly impairing behavioral patter ns related to breeding, feeding, or
shelter. “Harass” is defined as actions that create the likelihood of injury to listed species by disrupting normal behavioral patterns related to breeding, feeding, and shelter significantly.
Section 10 provides a means
whereby a non
-
federal action with the potential to result in take of a listed species can be allowed under an incidental take permit
which may be issued once a Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP) is approved
. Application procedures are found at 50
CFR 13 and
17 for
species under the jurisdiction of USFWS and 50 CFR 217, 220, and 222 for species under the jurisdiction of NMFS.
In addition, a local regulatory program established by the MSHCP and associated governing documents
provides
for regional conservation
of many species while also allowing limited
impacts to biological resources in association with planned development. The MSHCP establishes an alternative pathway to the Section 10 and Section 7 procedures by which local projects in the Plan Area may receiv
e both State and federal incidental take authorization for species identified
as
“
covered
”
and
“
conditionally covered
”, based on compliance with relevant conditions set forth in the plan.
Further details about the regional
MSHCP and its provisions for inci
dental take
coverage
are discussed
in Section 3.3.1
below.
3.1.2 Migratory Bird Treaty Act
The MBTA
generally prohibits the killing, possessing, or trading of migratory birds, bird parts, eggs, and nests, except as provided by the statute. The MBTA authorizes th e Secretary of the
Interior to regulate the taking of migratory birds. It further provides that it is unlawful, except as permitted by regulations, “to pursue, take, or kill any migratory bird, or any part, nest or egg of any such bird…” (16 United States
Code [USC] 703).
The MBTA, first enacted in 1916, prohibits any person, unless permitted by regulations, to “pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture or kill, possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to purchase, purchase, deliver for shipm
ent, ship, cause to be shipped, deliver for transportation, transport, cause to be transported, carry, or cause to be carried by any means whatever, receive for shipment, transportation or carriage, or export, at any time, or in any manner, any migratory b
ird, included in the terms of this Convention…
for
the protection of migratory birds…or any part,
nest, or egg of any such bird” (16 U.S. Code 703).

3.1.3 Clean Water Act
Pursuant to Section 404 of the CWA, the USACE is authorized to regulate any activity that wo uld
result in the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, which include those waters listed in 33 CFR Part 328 (Definitions). USACE, with oversight by the U.S. EPA, has the principal authority to issue CWA Section 404 Permit s.
Pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, the RWQCB certifies that any discharge into jurisdictional waters of the United States will comply with state water quality standards. The RWQCB
has the
principal authority to issue a CWA Section 401 water quality cer tification or waiver.
3.1.4 Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection
Act
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act was originally enacted in 1940 as the Bald Eagle Protection Act to protect bald eagles, and was later amended to include golden eagles. The Act prohibits th
e taking, possession, or commerce in bald and golden eagles, parts, feathers, nests, or eggs with limited exceptions. Take is defined as “pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb”, and includes both direct tak ing of individuals and take
due to disturbance. “Disturb” is defined as:
“to agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to a degree that causes, or is likely to cause, based on the best scientific information available, 1) injury to any eagle, 2) a decrease
in its productivity, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or 3) nest abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior.” 1 The definition of “disturb” is further
defined by USFWS as follows:
“In addition to immediate impacts, this definition also covers impacts that result from human
-
caused alterations initiated around a previously used nest site during a time when eagles are not present, if, upon the eagles return , such
alterations agitate or bother an eagle to a degree that injures an eagle or substantially interferes with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering.” 2 Bald
and golden
eagles may not be taken for any purpose unless a permit is issued prior to the
tak
ing.
Activities which can be authorized by permit include scientific collection/research, exhibition, tribal religious, depredation, falconry, and the taking of inactive eagle nests, which interfere with resource development or recovery operations. Current ly, USFWS has a permitting
process proposed for other activities that would allow disturbance to eagles or take of an eagle nest where their location poses a risk to human or eagle safety.

3.2 State
Regulations
3.2.1 California Fish and Game Code
The CFGC regulates
the taking or possession of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles, as well as natural resources such as wetlands and waters of the state. It includes the CESA (Sections 2050
–
2115) and Streambed Alteration Agreement regulations (Sections 1600 –
1616
).
These sections are described further below.
CFGC Sections 1600
-
1616
Pursuant to Section 1600 et seq.
of the CFGC, the CDFW (formerly California Department of Fish and Game) regulates activities of an applicant’s project that would substantially alter th e
flow, bed, channel, or bank
s
of streams or lakes, unless certain conditions outlined by CDFW are met by the applicant. The limits of CDFW jurisdiction are defined in CFGC Section 1600 et seq. as the “bed, channel, or bank of any river, stream,
3 or lake d
esignated by CDFW in which there is
at any time an existing fish or wildlife resource or from which these resources derive benefit.” 4 However, in practice, CDFW usually extends its jurisdictional limit and assertion to the top of a bank of a stream, the ba
nk of a lake, or outer edge of the riparian vegetation, whichever is wider.
California Endangered Species Act
(
CFGC
Section
2050 et seq.)
CESA establishes the policy of the state to conserve, protect, restore, and enhance threatened or endangered species
and their habitats. CESA mandates that state agencies should not approve projects that would jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species if reasonable and prudent alternatives are available that would avoid jeopardy. There are no
state
agency consultation procedures under CESA. For projects that would affect a listed species under both CESA and FESA, compliance with FESA would satisfy CESA if CDFW determines that the federal incidental take authorization is “consistent” with CESA under
CFGC
Section 2080.1. For
projects that would result in take of a species listed under the CESA only, the project operator would have to apply for a take permit under Section
2081(b).
In addition, a local regulatory program established by the MSHCP a nd associated governing
documents
provides
for regional conservation of many species while also allowing limited impacts to biological resources in association with planned development. The MSHCP establishes an alternative pathway to the Section 2080.1 and
Section 2081(b) procedures by which local
projects in the Plan Area may receive both State and federal incidental take authorization for species identified as
“
covered
”
and
“
conditionally covered
”, based on compliance with relevant
conditions set forth in
the plan.
Further details about the regional
MSHCP and its provisions for
incidental take coverage
are discussed
in Section 3.3.1
below.
3 Title 14 California Code of Regulations (CCR) 1.72 defines a strea m as “a body of water that flows at least
periodically or intermittently through a bed or channel having banks and supports fish or other aquatic life. This includes watercourses having a surface or subsurface flow that supports or has supported riparian v egetation.”
4 This also includes the habitat upon which they depend for continued viability ( CFGC
Division 5, Chapter 1,
Section 45, and Division 2, Chapter 1, Section 711.2[a]).

D202200383.00
Biological Assessment Report
August 2022
CFGC
Sections
2080 and 2081
Section 2080 of the
CFGC
states that “No person shall import into this state [California],
export
out of this state, or take, possess, purchase, or sell within this state, any species, or any part or product thereof, that the Commission [State Fish and Game Commission] determines to be an endangered species or threatened species, or attempt any
of those acts, except as otherwise
provided in this chapter, or the Native Plant Protection Act, or the California Desert Native Plants Act.” Pursuant to Section 2081, CDFW may authorize individuals or public agencies to import, export, take, or possess s
tate
-
listed endangered, threatened, or candidate species. These otherwise prohibited acts may be authorized through Incidental Take permits or Memoranda of Understanding if the take is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity, impacts of the authorized t
ake are minimized and fully mitigated, the permit is consistent with any regulations adopted pursuant to any recovery plan for the species, and the project operator ensures adequate funding to implement the measures required by CDFW, which makes this deter mination based on
available scientific information and considers the ability of the species to survive and reproduce.
Since the
MSHCP
provides coverage for take of some State
-
listed species, there would not be a
need for an additional 2081 permit process
unless a project does not comply with
MSHCP
requirements and may result in take of a State
-
listed species or if a State
-
listed species not
covered by the
MSHCP
were to result in take.
Further details about the regional
MS
HCP are
discussed in Section
3 .3.1
below.
CFGC Sections
3503, 3503.5, and 3513
S
ections
3503, 3503.5, and 3513
of the
C
FGC
prohibit
the taking, possessing, or destroying of
any birds of prey; the taking or possessing of any migratory nongame bird; the taking, possessing, or needlessly destr
oying of the nest or eggs of any raptors or nongame birds; or the taking of any nongame bird pursuant to
CFGC
Section 3800.
CFGC Section
3513 adopts the federal migratory
bird take provisions under the MBTA that prohibit the intentional take or possession of birds
designated by the MBTA as migratory nongame birds except as allowed by federal rules and regulat
ions pursuant to the MBTA.
3.2.2 California Environm
ental Quality Act Guidelines,
Section
15380
Although threatened and endangered species are protected by specific federal and state statutes,
CEQA Guidelines
Section
15380(b) provides that a species not listed on the federal or state list of protected species may be considered rare or endangered if the species can be shown to meet certain specified criteria.
These criteria have been modeled after the definition in FESA and the section of the
CFGC
dealing with rare or endangered plants or animals. This section was included in CEQA
primarily to deal with situations in which a public agency is reviewing a project
that
may have a significant effect on, for example, a species that has not been listed by either USFWS or CDFW
but otherwise has some status as a special
-
status species
. Thus, CEQA provides an
agency with the ability to protect a species from the potentia l impacts of a project until the
respective government agencies have an opportunity to designate the species as protected, if warranted. CEQA also calls for the protection of other locally or regionally significant resources, Biological
Assessment
Report
1575 University Avenue Project
3 -
6 ESA
/
D202200383.00
Biological Assessment Report
August
2022
including natural communities.
CEQA calls for an assessment of whether any such resources would be affected and requires findings of significance if there would be substantial losses.
Natural communities listed by CNDDB as sensitive are considered by CDFW to be significant resources an
d fall under the State CEQA Guidelines for addressing impacts. Local planning documents such as General Plans often identify these resources as well.
3.2.3 California Water Quality Control Act (Porter
-
Cologne
California Water Code Section 13260)
The State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the RWQCB (together “Boards”) are the principal State agencies with primary responsibility for the coordination and control of water quality. The Boards regulate activities pursuant to Section 401(a)(1) of the federal CW A as well
as the Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Porter -
Cologne) (Water Code Section 13260).
Section 401 of the CWA specifies that certification from the State is required for any applicant requesting a federal license or permit to conduct any ac tivity including but not limited to the
construction or operation of facilities that may result in any discharge into navigable waters. The certification shall originate from the State in which the discharge originates or will originate, if appropriate, fr
om the interstate water pollution control agency having jurisdiction over the navigable water at the point where the discharge originates or will originate. Any such discharge will comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, and 3 07 of the CWA.
Under
Porter
-
Cologne, the Legislature declared that the “State must be prepared to exercise its full power and jurisdiction to protect the quality of the waters in the State from degradation...” (California Water Code Section 13000). Porter
-
Cologne grants the Boards the authority to
implement and enforce the water quality laws, regulations, policies and plans to protect the groundwater and surface waters of the State. It is important to note that enforcement of the State's water quality requ
irements is not solely the purview of the Boards and their staff. Other agencies (e.g., CDFW) have the ability to enforce certain water quality provisions in state law.

definitions:
Present:
Species was
observed or detected during project

specific biological surveys.
High Potential:
Species identified in the literature search and/or known to occur in the region and suitable habitat is present on the project site. These species are generally common and/or
widespread in the project area and vicinity.
Moderate Potential:
Species identified in the literature search and/or known to occur in the region and suitable habitat is present within the project site. These species are generally less common and/or widesp
read than species considered to have “high” potential to occur.
Low Potential:
Species identified in the literature search or known to occur in the region, but the habitat on site is of low or marginal quality and/or the project site occurs outside the spe
cies known geographic or elevational range. Distance to nearest known occurrence and the age of last reported local occurrence are also considered.
Absent/Not Expected:
Species known to occur in the region, but deemed absent because the project site is out
side their known range or elevation, suitable habitat is lacking on the site, or the species was not observed during focused surveys and would have been conspicuous if present.

Sensitive natural communities are designated as such by various resource agencies, such as the CDFW, or in
local policies and regulations. These communities are generally considered to have important functions or values for wildlife and/or are recognized as declining in extent or distribution and may be considered threatened enough to warrant some level of pro tection.
Sensitive natural communities include those that are identified in the CDFW Sensitive Natural
Communities
. The CDFW state rank denotes the rarity and endangerment of a vegetation type within the state as described below, with S1 through S3 conside red to be a sensitive natural
community by CDFW.

= Critically Imperiled
–
At very high risk of extirpation due to very restricted range, very few populations or occurrences, very steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.
S2
= Imperiled
–
At high risk of extirpation due to restricted range, few populations or occurrences, steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.
S3
= Vulnerable
–
At moderate risk of extirpation due to a fairly restricted range, relatively few popul
ations or occurrences, recent and widespread declines, threats, or other factors.
S4
= Apparently Secure
–
At a fairly low risk of extirpation due to an extensive range and/or many populations or occurrences, but with possible cause for some concern as a r esult of
local recent declines, threats, or other factors.
S5
= Secure
-
At very low or no risk of extirpation due to a very extensive range, abundant populations or occurrences, with little to no concern from declines or threats.
No natural community occu
rs on the project site and only the ruderal community supports native and non
-
native plant species. The ruderal community is not a sensitive natural community.
Therefore, there are no sensitive natural communities that occur within the project site.
4.3.3 Critic
al Habitat
The project site does not occur within or immediately adjacent to critical habitat.
4.4 Aquatic Resources
There are no a
quatic resources
that occur on the project site
.
4.5 Regional Connectivity, Wildlife Movement, and
Habitat Linkages
Wildlife habitat
linkages are areas which link otherwise isolated blocks of habitat to allow wide -
ranging animals to travel, genetic exchange to occur and to allow plants and animals to move in response to environmental changes and natural disasters. Wildlife habitat link ages also allow
populations of threatened species to be replenished from other areas via the metapopulation theory (Hilty et al. 2006).
Wildlife habitat linkages mitigate the effects of habitat fragmentation by (1) allowing animals to move between remaini
ng habitats, which allows depleted populations to be replenished and promotes genetic diversity; (2) providing escape routes from natural disasters, predators, and human disturbances, thus reducing the risk that catastrophic events (such as fires or diseas e) will
result in population or local species extinction; and (3) serving as travel routes for individual animals as they move within their home ranges in search of food, water, mates, and other needs (Noss 1983, Fahrig and Merriam 1985, Simberloff and Cox
1987, Harris and Gallagher 1989).

CHAPTER
5 Project Impacts and Avoidance, Minimization,
and Mitigation
5.1 Approach to the Analysis
This section describes the potential effects of the proposed project on biological resources that may occur as a result of project implementation. Direct, indirect, temporary, and/or permanent effects to biological resources may oc
cur as a result of project implementation, as defined below:
Direct Effects:
Any alteration, disturbance, or destruction of biological resources that would result from project
-
related activities is considered a direct effect. Examples include loss of indiv
idual species and/or their associated plant communities, diversion of surface water flows, and encroachment into wetlands. Under FESA, direct effects are defined as the immediate effects of a project on a species or its habitat, including construction nois e
disturbance, sedimentation, or habitat loss.
Indirect Effects:
Biological resources may also be affected in an indirect manner as a result of project
-
related activities. Under FESA, indirect effects are defined as those effects that are caused by, or wou
ld result from, a proposed project but occur later in time and are reasonably certain to occur [50 C.F.R. §402
-
02]. An example of indirect effects may include irrigation runoff from a developed area into surrounding natural vegetation. Indirect effects cou ld also
include increased wildfire frequency as a result of power line failures.
Temporary Effects:
Any effects to biological resources that are considered reversible can be viewed as temporary. Examples include the generation of fugitive dust during const ruction
activities.
Permanent Effects:
All effects that result in the irreversible removal of biological resources are considered permanent. Examples include constructing a building or permanent road on an area with native vegetation, such that the native
vegetation is permanently removed and
replaced with a developed structure.
A project is generally considered to have a significant effect if it proposes or results in any of the effects or
conditions described in the significance thresholds discussed below , absent specific
evidence to the contrary. Conversely, if a project does not propose or result in any of the following
effects or
conditions, it would generally not be considered to have a significant effect on biological resources, absent specific eviden
ce of such an effect. These significance thresholds
are taken from Appendix G of the State CEQA
Guidelines.

5.2 Thresholds of Significance
Based on
State
CEQA Guidelines
Appendix
G
, the project would result in a significant impact on
biological resources if it
would:
1. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special
-
status
species in local or regional plans,
policies, or regulations, or by the California Departmen t of Fish and
Wildlife
or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
2. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish an
d
Wildlife
or U
.
S
.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
3. Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means
.
4. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.
5. Conflict with any local polici
es or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance.
6. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habita t conservation plan.
5.3 Impacts
Analysis
Issue
1: Would the proposed project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special
-
status
species in local or region
al plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Special
-
Status
Specie
s
S
pecial
-
status plant
and wildlife specie
s were
not
identified within
the project site during the
general proj
ect
survey
and,
according to Section 6.1.3
,
Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant
Species,
and 6.3.2
, Additional Survey Needs and Procedures
of the MSHCP, the project site does
not fall within a required
survey area for special
-
status plant
or wildlife specie
s
(including
Amphibian
Survey Area
, Burrowing Owl
Survey Area
, or
Mammal
Survey Area
)
with potential
to occur (Dudek 2003)
. Therefore,
with participation in the MSHCP (the City of
Riverside
is an
MSHCP permittee),
impacts to special
-
status plant
and wildli
fe specie
s would be considered
less
than significant
.
Critical Habitat
The project site does not occur within or immediately adjacent to critical habitat
for any special
-
status plant or wildlife species
; therefore, there would be
no impact
s to critical ha
bitat
as a result
of project activities.

Issue
2: Would the proposed project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California De
partment of Fish and
Wildlife
or U
.
S
.
Fish and Wildlife
Service?
No riparian or sensitive natural communities occur on the project site. As such, the proposed project would not have an impact on riparian or sensitive natural communities .
Issue
3: Would the
proposed project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
N
o
state or federally prot
ected
wetlands occur on
-
site
and therefore there will be no impacts to
state or federally protected wetlands
.
Issue
4: Would the
proposed project i
nterfere substantially with the movement of any
native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or wit h established native resident or
migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites ?

Nesting Birds
The proposed project may result in the disturbance of nesting birds protected by the MBTA
and
CFGC 3503
,
3503.5
,
a
nd

.
I
mpacts to nesting birds
would be
less than
significant
with
compliance with the federal and state regulations protecting nesting birds and their nest .
Issue
5:
Would the
proposed project
conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance ?
There are no local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources that apply to the proposed project
.
Therefore, the project would not conflict with local policies or ordinances .
Issue
6: Would the
proposed project
conflict with
the provisions of an adopted Habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or
state habitat conservation plan
?
The project site is
located
within
the
W
estern Riverside County
MSHCP.
T
he
p
roject
site is not
located within
a
MSHCP Criteria Area
, which is comprised of
individual Cells or Cell Groups
identified
to guide assembly of Additional Reserve
Lands
for the MSHCP
Conservation Area
.
The local jurisdict
ions participating in the MSHCP
, such as the City of
Riverside
,
are
collectively
responsible for assembling
approximately 97,000 acres of land for the MSHCP Conservation Area.
L
ocal acquisition of lands for the MSHCP Conservation Area are purchased by the
Western
Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) from willing sellers using the Habitat Evaluation and Acquisition Negotiation Strategy (HANS) process, or other processes, such as the Biological
Assessment

process during whic
h the
RCA and appropriate Permittee
staff
(
i.
e., City of
Riverside
)
shall jointly review
development applications that are within
a
Criteria Area and are submitted to
a
Permittee for consideration). However, since the project site is not located within
a
M
SHCP Criteria Area
and
is
therefore not subject to the
HANS process or
the JPR process, the
proposed p
roject would not conflict with
MSHCP
Reserve Assembly goals.
T
he
p
roject’s consistency with
the
MSHCP
is summarized below
.
The project site is not withi
n any
wildlife migration corridors identified in MSHCP Figure 3 -
2,
Schematic Cores and Linkages Map
.
With respect to the proposed project’s
consistency with MSHCP
Section 6.1.2 (Protection of
Species Associated with
Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool
s),
the
project site does not
contain
MSHCP riparian/riverine areas
and no riparian or riverine areas will be impacted
.
With respect to the proposed project’s consistency with MSHCP
Section 6.1.3 (Protection of
Narrow Endemic Plant
Species) and Section 6.
3.2 (Additional Survey Needs and Procedures), as
stated
within
the document, the project
site
is not located within
a
Narrow Endemic Plant Species
Survey Area as defined by Section 6.1.3,
n
or Amphibian Survey Area, Burrowing Owl Survey
Area, or Mammal Surv
ey Area as defined by Section 6.3.2 of the MSHCP.
Therefore, impacts to
narrow endemic plant species or
wildlife habitat would be covered through
payment of
the
appropriate
MSHCP
development fees
.
Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP specifies that certain guideline s should be implemented for proposed
projects located adjacent to or connected
with
existing conservation lands/lands described for
conservation within the MSHCP Conservation Area; these include Public/Quasi -
Public Land
(
PQP
)
Lands and conserved portions o
f the Criteria Area. The various guidelines include the management of site drainage/runoff and toxics/pollutants, grading, lighting, noise, invasive plant species, and wildlife barriers, to ensure that pre
-
project conditions are maintained during and
follo
wing the completion of construction, to the degree feasible.
However, t
he proposed project is
not situated within
, adjacent to, or connected with
PQP Lands, or the Criteria Area; therefore,
Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP does not apply
to this project, which w
ould be consistent
.
T
herefore,
as summarized above,
the proposed project would be consistent
with
the MSHCP
.
5.4 Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures
No recommendations are required t
o minimize and avoid significant impacts to sensitive
biological
resources as a result of
proposed
project implementation
because there are no sensitive
biological resources that occur on the project site
.
5.5 Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative impacts are defined as the direct and indirect effects of a proposed project which, when considered alone, would not be deemed a substantial impact, but when considered in addition to the impacts of related projects in the area, would be considered significant.
“Related

projects” refers to past, present, and reasonably foreseeable probabl e future projects, which would
have similar impacts to the proposed project.
CEQA deems a cumulative impact analysis to be
adequate if a list of “related projects” is included in the EIR or the proposed project is consistent with an adopted general, specif
ic, master, or comparable programmatic plan
(Section
15130(b)(1)(B))
.
CEQA also states that no further cumulative impact analysis is necessary for impacts of a proposed project consistent with an adopted general, specific, master, or comparable programmati
c plan [Section 15130(d)].
As discussed above, the project site consists of disturbed
or
developed areas with
in
a
developed
portion of the City of
Riverside
.
Furthermore, the MSHCP addresses cumulative impacts for western Riverside County.
The MSHCP identi
fies areas for long
-
term conservation and
management.
As such, with MSHCP compliance, cumulative impacts of proposed projects within authorized take lands within the MSHCP are minimized through the conservation of land.
Therefore, implementation of the pro
posed project, in conjunction with other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future projects, would not result in a significant cumulative impact related to biological resources.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1575 University Avenue Project - Cultural
Resources Assessment Report
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) has been retained by Kimley-Horn to conduct a cultural resources assessment for the 1575 University Avenue Project (Project). The Project would consist of the construction of a five-story at-grade mixed-use/residential buildings, an at-grade parking structure, a swimming pool and spa. The City of Riverside (City) is the lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
A records search was conducted on July 22, 2022, by staff at the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) housed at the University of California, Riverside and included a review of all recorded archaeological resources and previous studies within the Project Site and a 0.50-mile radius of the Project Site. The records search results indicate that 27 cultural resources studies have been conducted within a 0.50-mile radius of the Project Site. Approximately 50 percent of the 0.50-mile records search radius has been included in previous cultural resources assessments; however, none of these assessments have included the Project Site. No archaeological resources have been previously recorded within a
0.50-mile radius of the Project Site.
A Sacred Lands File (SLF) conducted by the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on August 4, 2022, indicated that the SLF search yielded negative results.
A cultural resources survey of the Project Site was conducted on July 20, 2022. Two built environment resources (FC-Site-1 and FC-Site-2) were identified as a result of the survey, and these were recorded on California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Site forms.
The built environment resources were evaluated to determine whether they were eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) criteria A, B, C, or D, California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) criteria 1, 2, 3 or 4 or local listings. California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). The resources consist of concrete foundations and were found to be ineligible for consideration as potential historical resources under any California Register criteria 1, 2, 3 or 4. Therefore, Project impacts to these resources are not considered a significant impact to the environment under CEQA and no further analysis is necessary. The archaeological sensitivity assessment concluded that there is a low to moderate potential for encountering subsurface prehistoric archaeological resources. Since the Project includes ground disturbance, mitigation measures from the Riverside Housing and Public Safety Element Updates and Environmental Justice Policies Project Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) are provided in the Conclusions and Recommendations section at Cultural Resources Assessment

Cultural Resources Assessment Report
Introduction
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) has been retained by Kimley-Horn to conduct a cultural resources assessment for the 1575 University Avenue Project (Project). The Project proposes the construction of a five-story, at-grade mixed-use/residential buildings. The City of Riverside (City) is the lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
ESA personnel involved in the preparation of this report are as follows: Monica Strauss, M.A., RPA., project director; Sara Dietler, B.A., Principal Investigator; Fatima Clark, B.A, report author and surveyor; and Jaclyn Anderson, GIS specialist. Resumes of key personnel are included in Appendix A.
Project Location
The 4.29-acre Project Site is located in the northeast portion of the City, in Riverside County, California (Figure 1). The Project Site is bordered by commercial uses to the north; University Avenue to the south; residential and commercial/retail properties to the east; and Seventh Street and commercial/retail properties to the west. The Project Site is located within Section 19 of Township 2 South, Range 4 West on the Riverside East, CA U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5- minute topographic quadrangle (Figure 2).
Project Description
The Project would consist of the construction of a five-story, at-grade mixed-use/residential buildings, which would occupy the majority of the Project Site. An at-grade parking structure would be constructed in the central portion of the Project Site and a swimming pool and spa in the southern portion of the Project Site. Retaining walls (up to six feet high) are proposed to support excavations associated with the pit for the elevators. The existing building and parking lot in the southern portion, as well as the concrete pads in the vacant portion of the Project Site would be removed.

Setting
Natural Setting
The Project Site is rectangular-shaped and partially graded parcel. A one-story commercial building with a surface parking lot and associated landscaping occupies the southern portion of the Project Site, while the remaining north portion is currently vacant, but also has concrete pads associated with former structures. Access to the Project Site is via the southern portion and along University Avenue.
Prehistoric Setting
Prehistory is most easily discussed chronologically, in terms of environmental change and recognized cultural developments. Several chronologies have been proposed for inland Southern California, the most widely accepted of which is Wallace’s four-part Horizon format (1955) which was originally developed for the Southern California coastal region, and which was later updated and revised by Claude Warren (1968). The advantages and weaknesses of Southern California chronological sequences are reviewed by Warren (in Moratto 1984), Chartkoff and Chartkoff (1984), and Heizer (1978). The following discussion is based on Warren (1968), Goldberg et al. (2001), Goldberg (2001), and the more recent Byrd and Raab (2007) sequence.
Paleo-Indian Period (ca. 14,000-10,000 years before present [YBP]) Little is known of Paleo-Indian peoples in inland Southern California, and the cultural history of this period follows that of North America in general. Recent discoveries in the Americas have challenged the theory that the first Americans migrated from Siberia, following a route from the Bering Strait into Canada and the Northwest Coast sometime after the Wisconsin Ice Sheet receded (ca. 14,000 YBP), and before the Bering Land Bridge was submerged (ca. 12,000 YBP).
Based on new research from the Pacific Rim, it has been proposed that modern humans settled islands of the eastern Pacific between 40,000 and 15,000 years ago. Evidence of coastal migration has also come from sites on islands off Alta and Baja California. As a result, these sites are contemporary with Clovis and Folsom points found in North America’s interior regions. All of these new findings have made the coastal migration theory gain credibility in recent times (Erlandson et al. 2007).
The timing, manner, and location of this crossing are a matter of debate among archaeologists, but the initial migration probably occurred as the Laurentide Ice Sheet melted along the Alaskan Coast and interior Yukon. The earliest radiocarbon dates from the Paleo-Indian Period in North America come from the Arlington Springs Woman site on Santa Rosa Island. These human remains date to approximately 13,000 YBP (Johnson, et al. 2002). Other early Paleo-Indian sites include the Monte Verde Creek site in Chile (Meltzer, et al. 1997) and the controversial Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Pennsylvania. Both sites have early levels dated roughly at 12,000 YBP. Lifeways during the Paleo-Indian Period was characterized by highly mobile hunting and gathering. Prey included megafauna such as mammoth and technology included a distinctive flaked stone toolkit that has been identified across much of North America and into Central America. They likely used some plant foods, but the Paleo-Indian toolkit recovered Cultural Resources Assessment

archaeologically does not include many tools that can be identified as designed specifically for plant processing.
To date, no Paleoindian period sites have been identified in inland Southern California.
The megafauna that appear to have been the focus of Paleo-Indian life went extinct during a warming trend that began approximately 10,000 years ago, and both the extinction and climatic change (which included warmer temperatures in desert valleys and reduced precipitation in mountain areas) were factors in widespread cultural change. Subsistence and social practices continued to be organized around hunting and gathering, but the resource base was expanded to include a wider range of plant and game resources. Technological traditions also became more localized and included tools specifically for the processing of plants and other materials. This constellation of characteristics has been given the name “Archaic” and it was the most enduring of cultural adaptations to the North American environment.
Early Archaic Period/Early Holocene (ca. 10,000-8,000 YBP) The earliest Archaic Period life in inland Southern California has been given the name San Dieguito tradition, after the San Diego area where it was first identified and studied (Warren 1968). Characteristic artifacts include stemmed projectile points, crescents and leaf-shaped knives, which suggest a continued subsistence, focus on large game, although not megafauna of the earlier Paleo-Indian period. Milling equipment appears in the archaeological record at approximately 7,500 years ago (Moratto 1984:158). Artifact assemblages with this equipment include basin milling stones and unshaped manos, projectile points, flexed burials under cairns, and cogged stones, and have been given the name La Jolla Complex (7,500–3,000 YBP). The transition from San Dieguito life to La Jolla life appears to have been an adaptation to drying of the climate after 8,000 YBP, which may have stimulated movements of desert peoples to the coastal regions, bringing milling stone technology with them. Groups in the coastal regions focused on mollusks, while inland groups relied on wild-seed gathering and acorn collecting.
The earliest archaeological sites include resource CA-RIV-2798/H located on the shores of Lake Elsinore (approximately 21 miles south of the Project Site), which has been dated to approximately 8,500 years ago (Grenda 1997), and site CA-RIV-6069, found recently on the northeastern margin of the Lakeview Mountains approximately 18 miles southeast of the Project Site, dated to between 8,000 to 8,500 years ago (Horne 1998). Goldberg et al. (2001) suggest that the settlements of the populations exploiting the interior valleys, such as the Project Site, would have been located near drought-resistant water sources such as Lake Elsinore, Mystic Lake, and possibly the Cajalco Basin, and that that these locales may have been destination points on a scheduled, seasonal round.
Middle Archaic or Millingstone Period/Middle Holocene (ca. 8,000- 4,000 YBP)
In central and Southern California, “millingstone” cultures appeared around 8,000 to 7,000 YBP.
These cultures focused on the collection and processing of plant seeds and the hunting of a variety of medium and small game animals. The most common artifacts are manos and milling Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 8 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
stones (metates) and large core-cobble chopping tools. Other artifacts include hammerstones, large flake tools including scraper-planes and scrapers, worked bone, beads, cogged stones, discoidals, doughnut stones, and stone balls. Projectile points (usually large leaf-shaped points and Elko points) are not plentiful, but faunal remains indicate deer and rabbits were hunted. Sites near bays and estuaries contain abundant shell and fish remains (Byrd and Raab 2007).
In inland Southern California, archaeological investigations conducted by Applied Earthworks, Inc. at the Eastside Reservoir Project (ESRP) (now Diamond Valley Lake, located approximately 26 miles southeast of the Project Site) produced at least 19 archaeological localities dating to the Middle Archaic Period. These Middle Archaic components include residential bases and/or temporary camps containing abundant cultural materials including temporally diagnostic artifacts (e.g., Pinto and Silver Lake Projectile points, crescents), at least nine complex lithic scatters that appear to have functioned as resource extraction and processing sites, and one human burial covered with large rocks and ground stone artifacts. Moreover, the presence of isolated radiocarbon-dated features and/or sparse scatters of obsidian debitage dated by obsidian hydration methods suggests that ephemeral Middle Archaic use is present at several sites at ESRP. As a result of the ESRP investigations, researchers state that the more intensively used residential locations occur along alluvial fan margins, while less intensively used areas tend to be situated on arroyo bottoms or upland benches (Goldberg et al. 2001).
Late Archaic/Late Holocene (ca. 4,000-1,500 YBP)
Cultural responses to environmental changes around 4,000–3,000 YBP included a shift to more land-based gathering practices. This period was characterized by the increasing importance of acorn processing, which supplemented the resources from hunting and gathering. The period is characterized by the initial use of the mortar and pestle to process food stuffs such as seeds, acorns, and greens. Large Projectile points, including Elko points, indicate that hunting was probably accomplished with the atlatl or spear thrower. The settlement pattern may have been semi-sedentary with winter residential bases near a permanent water source and use of temporary camps for resource collection during the rest of the year.
At the ESRP Project Site, 23 archaeological localities show evidence that their primary use was during the Late Archaic Period, while 8 others yielded evidence of some activity during the period. Late Archaic site types documented within the ESRP Project Site include residential bases with large, diverse artifact assemblages, abundant faunal remains, and cultural features, as well as temporary bases, temporary camps, and task-specific activity areas. In general, sites showing evidence of the most intensive use tend to be on range-front benches adjacent to permanent water sources such as perennial springs or larger streams, while less intensively used locales occur either on upland benches or on the margins of active alluvial fans (Goldberg 2001).
Late Prehistoric Period/Late Holocene (ca. 1,500 YBP-A.D. 1769) The Late Prehistoric Period of inland Southern California is often separated into three time periods; Saratoga Springs (ca. 1,500-750 YBP), Late Prehistoric (ca. 750-400 YBP), and the Protohistoric (ca. 400 to 150 YBP) due to findings from the ESRP investigations and other Projects in region.

Prehistoric Period, which made hunting more efficient and productive while ceramics use was intensified after A.D. 1000. Many scholars believe that migrations occurring at this time resulted in new forms of social expression (such as cremations replacing inhumations) and in the creation of the linguistic and cultural landscape at European contact (Byrd and Raab 2007).
Some scholars have traditionally believed, based predominantly on linguistic data from ethnographic groups at European contact and archaeological data from coastal sites, that Shoshonean-speaking peoples from the deserts and Great Basin region of the western U.S. migrated into Southern California during this time period and replaced the existing groups in the area, although the precise timing of this migration is a matter of debate. However, current linguistic research contradicts this traditional theory of the “Shoshonean Wedge.” In particular, Campbell (1997) and Hill (2001) suggests that the Proto-Uto-Aztecan (PUA) homeland was somewhere in northern Mexico, western Arizona and eastern Southern California. The PUA group has generally been further divided into four subgroups: Hopic, Tubatulabalic, Takic and Numic. Luiseño, Gabrielino and Cahuilla are all language groups under the Takic umbrella.
Current linguistic and DNA evidence suggests that the separation of the PUA groups into these subgroups began between 5,000 and 3,500 YBP. Takic languages are estimated to be at least 2,500 years old which suggests that Takic speakers moved into their present homelands 1,000 years before the Numic speakers were in the Great Basin. Archaeologists use the "Shoshonean Wedge" theory to describe the southern descending movement of the Takic speakers (incorrectly identifying them as Shoshoneans) into Southern California; however, linguistic evidence does not support this hypothesis. Furthermore, evidence based upon linguistic and DNA data indicate the Takic speakers were forced to move out of the southern San Joaquin Valley area by a wave of Yokustan (Penutians) prior to 3,500 years B.P. Forced to move south, these Takic speakers began replacing, and intermarried with, non-Takic speakers within the Los Angeles basin, and by extension those peoples farther south, prior to 3,500 YBP (Sutton 2009). This new evidence contradicts the old theory of a “Shoshonean Wedge” and places the Takic speakers in California 1,000 years before the Numic speakers spread across the Great Basin.
The Medieval Climatic Anomaly (MCA) (1,050 to 600 B.P.) was a warmer drier period that occurred during the Late Prehistoric Period that may have resulted in more intensive use of resources and settlement in permanent villages near water sources in inland areas such as the San Jacinto Valley. As noted during the Late Archaic Period, important food resources for inland groups was acorns gathered from oak groves in canyons, drainages, and foothills. Acorn processing was labor intensive, requiring grinding in a mortar and leaching with water to remove tannic acid. Diagnostic artifacts include small triangular projectile points, mortars and pestles, steatite ornaments and containers, perforated stones, circular shell fishhooks, and numerous and varied bone tools, as well as bone and shell ornamentation. Elaborate mortuary customs, as well as generous use of asphaltum and the development of extensive trade networks, are also characteristic of this period.
Saratoga Springs Period (ca. 1,500-750 YBP) occupation was identified at seven site components within the ESRP Project Site, while three other sites exhibited evidence of ephemeral use at this time. Six other localities within the ESRP Project Site yielded either obsidian with hydration bands suggesting Saratoga Springs age or Saratoga Springs Projectile points (a large triangular Cultural Resources Assessment

form associated with use of the bow and arrow, which began to appear in the ESRP Project Site at this time) but without evidence of sustained site use during this period. The focal shift of prehistoric activity from alluvial fan margins to mountain-front benches adjacent to permanent water sources, which was initiated during the Late Archaic, is also evidenced in the Saratoga Springs site locations (Goldberg 2001).
In San Diego County, Meighan (1954) identified the period after A.D. 1400 as the San Luis Rey complex. San Luis Rey I (A.D. 1400–1750) is associated with bedrock mortars and milling stones, cremations, small triangular projectile points with concave bases and Olivella beads. The San Luis Rey II (A.D. 1750–1850) period is marked by the addition of pottery, red and black pictographs, cremation urns, steatite arrow straighteners and non-aboriginal materials (Meighan 1954:223, Keller and McCarthy 1989:6). Work at Cole Canyon (located approximately 29 miles south of the Project Site) and other sites in Southern California suggests that this complex, and the ethnographically described life of the native people of the region, were well established by at least 1,000 YBP (Keller and McCarthy 1989:80).
Ethnographic Setting
According to early anthropologists and ethnographers, the Project Site is located on the fringes of cultural territories of the Cahuilla, Luiseno, Serrano, and Gabrielino (Gabrieleño, Tongva, or Kizh) groups.
Cahuilla
The Cahuilla spoke a language belonging to the Cupan group of the Takic subfamily (Bean 1978). The Cahuilla are generally divided into three groups based on their geographic setting: the Pass Cahuilla of the Beaumont/Banning area; the Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains; and the Desert Cahuilla from the Coachella Valley, as far south as the Salton Sea. The Cahuilla occupied territories that ranged from low or moderately low desert to the mountain regions of the Transverse and Peninsular ranges.
Villages were placed near canyons that received substantial precipitation or were adjacent to streams and springs (Bean 1978). House structures of the Cahuilla ranged from “brush shelters to dome-shaped or rectangular structures 15-20 feet long” (Bean 1978). The Cahuilla social structure revolved around clans and exogamous moieties (components connected through inter- marriage). Hunting, in conjunction with the exploitation of a variety of available resources, governed the Cahuilla subsistence strategy. The material culture of the Cahuilla was extensive and varied, and included pottery, ornamental items, and a number of knapped stone tools.
Prior to European contact, population estimates for the Cahuilla range from 3,600 to as high as 10,000 persons. Due to European diseases, such as smallpox, the Cahuilla population was decimated during the 19
th century. However, unlike other Native American populations in southern California, the Cahuilla were able to retain their autonomy even after the arrival and increasing control of European explorers and the settling governments that followed. It was not until 1891 that the Cahuilla culture and its population began to succumb to the pressure of European and, later, United States governing bodies (Bean 1978).

Today, there are nine federally recognized tribes in California who share Cahuilla tribal affiliation, language, and culture, including the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (Agua Caliente), Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians (Augustine), Cabazon Band of Mission Indians (Cabazon), Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians, Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians (Los Coyotes), Morongo Band of Mission Indians (Morongo), Ramona Band of Cahuilla Indians (Ramona), Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians (Santa Rosa), and Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians (Torres-Martinez).
Luiseño
Native Americans living in the Project area at the time of Spanish contact are now known as the Luiseño, after the Mission San Luis Rey to which many of them were relocated. The language of the Luiseño people has been identified as belonging to the Cupan group of the Takic subfamily, which is part of the larger Uto-Aztecan language family (Bean and Shipek, 1978). Luiseño territory includes portions of northern San Diego, southern Orange, and Riverside Counties, and would have encompassed a diverse environment including lagoons and marshes, coastal areas, inland river valleys, foothills, and mountains. The neighbors of the Luiseño to the north and northwest were the Juaneño, Gabrielino, and Serrano; to the east were the Cahuilla and Cupeño; and to the south were the Kumeyaay.
The Luiseño subsisted on small game, coastal marine resources, and a wide variety of plant foods such as grass seeds and acorns. Luiseño houses were conical thatched reed, brush, or bark structures. The Luiseño inhabited permanent villages centered around patrilineal clans, with each village headed by a chief, or not (Kroeber, 1925; Sparkman, 1908). Seasonal camps associated with villages were also used. Each village or clan had an associated territory and hunting, collecting, and fishing areas. Villages were typically located in proximity to a food or water source, or in defensive locations, often near valley bottoms, streams, sheltered coves or canyons, or coastal strands (Bean and Shipek, 1978). It is estimated that there may have been around 50 Luiseño villages with a population of about 200 each at the time of the first Spanish contact (Bean and Shipek, 1978).
Today, there are six federally recognized tribes in California who share Luiseño tribal affiliation, language, and culture, including the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians (La Jolla), Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians (Rincon), Pauma Yuima Band of Mission Indians (Pauma), Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians (Pechanga), Pala Band of Mission Indians (Pala), and Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians (Soboba).
Serrano
The Serrano occupied territories that ranged from low or moderately low desert to the mountain regions of the Transverse and Peninsular ranges bordered to the west roughly by the Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino Mountains, to the east by Twenty-Nine Palms, and to the south by Yucaipa Valley. The Serrano inhabited areas both north and south of the San Bernardino Mountains, and also encompassed the western end of the Mojave Desert (including Lovejoy Springs) in portions of Los Angeles County (Price et al. 2008). The Serrano were organized into clans, with the clan being the largest autonomous political entity. They lived in small villages where extended Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 12 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
families lived in circular, dome-shaped structures made of willow frames covered with tule thatching. Each clan had one or more principal villages in addition to numerous smaller villages associated with the principal village (Price et al, 2008). Villages located at higher elevations were placed near canyons that received substantial precipitation or were adjacent to streams and springs. Villages situated at lower elevations were also located close to springs or in proximity to the termini of alluvial fans where the high water table provided abundant mesquite and shallow wells could be dug.
The Serrano subsistence strategy relied upon hunting and gathering, and occasionally fishing.
Villages divided into smaller, mobile gathering groups during certain seasons to gather seasonally available foods. The division of labor was split between women gathering and men hunting and fishing (Bean and Smith 1978, Warren 1984). Mountain sheep, deer, rabbits, acorns, grass seeds, piñon nuts, bulbs, yucca roots, cacti fruit, berries, and mesquite were some of the more common resources utilized (Bean and Smith 1978, Warren 1984). Despite early European and Spanish contact in 1771, the Serrano remained relatively autonomous until the period between 1819 and 1834 when most of the western Serrano were forcibly removed and relocated to missions (Bean and Smith 1978, Warren 1984).
Gabrielino
According to Bean and Smith (1978), the Gabrielino, with the exception of the Chumash to the north, “were the wealthiest, most populous, and most powerful ethnic nationality in aboriginal Southern California.” Named after the San Gabriel Mission, the Gabrielino occupied sections of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties, and the islands of San Nicolas, Santa Catalina, and San Clemente. The Gabrielino subsisted on a variety of resources in several ecological zones. Acorns, sage, and yucca were gathered throughout the inland areas whereas shellfish, fish, as well as a variety of plants and animals were exploited within the marshes and along the coast. Deer and various kinds of small mammals were hunted on an opportunistic basis.
Their material culture reflected the subsistence technology. Lithic tools such as arrow points and modified flakes were used to hunt and process animals. A variety of ground stone grinding implements, such as the mortar, pestle, mano, and metate, were used to process both plant and animal remains for food (Bean and Smith, 1978).
The settlement patterns of the Gabrielino, and other nearby groups such as the Juaneño and Luiseño, were similar and they often interacted through marriage, trade and warfare. The seasonal availability of water and floral and faunal resources dictated seasonal migration rounds with more permanent villages and base camps being occupied primarily during winter and spring months. In the summer months, the village populations divided into smaller units that occupied seasonal food procurement areas. The more permanent settlements tended to be near major waterways and food sources and various secular and sacred activities, such as food production and storage and tool manufacturing, were conducted at these areas (Bean and Smith, 1978).

Historic Setting
Spanish Period (1769-1821)
The first European presence in what is now southern California came in 1542, when Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo led an expedition along the coast. Europeans did not return until 1769, when the expedition of Gaspar de Portola traveled overland from San Diego to San Francisco. Juan Bautista de Anza was the first recorded European visitor to the area. He is credited with the discovery of an inland route from Sonora to the northern coast of California in 1774, bringing him through much of what is now known as Riverside County, via the San Jacinto Mountains (Rolle 2003). With de Anza, the colonization of Alta California began in earnest. With the opening of the overland route, Spanish pueblos were established, evolving into the Spanish system of governance.
In the late 18th century, the Spanish began establishing missions in California and forcibly relocating and converting native peoples (Horne and McDougall 2003). The purpose of the missions was to encourage, by any means necessary, the assimilation of Native populations to adopt the Spanish custom, language, and religion. The mission strategy relied upon an agricultural economy and as such, locations selected for the construction of a mission depended upon three factors: arable soil for crops, an adequate supply of fresh water, and a large local Indian population for labor (Rolle 2003). The closest missions to the Project Site are Mission San Juan Capistrano (located approximately 37 miles southwest of the Project Site) and Mission San Gabriel Arcangel (located approximately 44 miles northwest of the Project Site).
Mexican Period (1821-1846)
In 1821 Mexico, which included much of present-day California, became independent from Spain, and during the 1820s and 1830s the California missions were secularized. Mission property was supposed to have been held in trust for the Native Californians, but instead was handed over to civil administrators and then into private ownership as land grants. After secularization, many former Mission Indians were forced to leave the Missions and seek employment as laborers, ranch hands, or domestic servants (Horne and McDougall 2003).
American Period (1846-Present)
In 1846, the Mexican-American War broke out. Mexican forces were eventually defeated in 1847 and Mexico ceded California to the United States as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1848. California officially became one of the United States in 1850. While the treaty recognized the right of Mexican citizens to retain ownership of land granted to them by Spanish or Mexican authorities, the claimant was required to prove their right to the land before a patent was given.
The process was lengthy and generally resulted in the claimant losing at least a portion of their land to attorney’s fees and other costs associated with proving ownership (Starr 2007).
When the discovery of gold in northern California was announced in 1848, a huge influx of people from other parts of North America flooded into California. As a result of the discovery of gold and the mass migration of fortune hunters to both southern and northern California, the population of the region exploded, and development of urban areas grew.

railroad came to the region in 1869, bringing industry and settlers to the area; the city of Riverside became the first of these colonized areas in what is now Riverside County. Cattle ranches were slowly replaced by citrus farming and agriculture, industries of major importance to the populace of the area now known as Riverside County.
Project Site History
The Project Site is located within the Eastside Neighborhood which is one of the City’s oldest neighborhoods which has been a part of the City since its founding in 1870. The Eastside Neighborhood is located within the eastern portion of the City of Riverside, with the center of Downtown to the west and University of Riverside to the east. University Avenue is one of two main east-west thoroughfares, Martin Luther King Boulevard/14th Street is the other. The early development was related to worker housing for the booming citrus industry and even as citrus declined over time the Eastside remained home to much of the City’s working families. In the 1880s the Gage Canal brought water to the area and included underground pipes carrying water from the canal to White’s Addition, the oldest part of the Eastside Neighborhood. By the 1920s there was established commercial areas on University Avenue (then known as East Eighth Street).
Eighth Street/University Avenue has historically been the main corridor running east west through the heart of the Eastside. Land use was predominantly residential until the end of the 1920 when it became a general Commercial Zone and single family residences gave way to restaurants, motels, service stations and car washes. Today the Eastside does remain largely residential but large scale residential developed stopped in the late 1950s due to less available land (City of Riverside, 2009).
Regulatory Framework
State
California Environmental Quality Act
CEQA is the principal statute governing environmental review of projects occurring in the state and is codified at Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21000 et seq. CEQA requires lead agencies to determine if a proposed project would have a significant effect on the environment, including significant effects on historical or unique archaeological resources.
Under CEQA
(Section 21084.1), a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.
The CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] Section 15064.5) recognize that historical resources include: (1) a resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register); (2) a resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k) or identified as significant in a historical resource survey meeting the requirements of PRC Section 5024.1(g); and (3) any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California by the lead agency, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. The fact that a Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 15 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
resource does not meet the three criteria outlined above does not preclude the lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in PRC Sections 5020.1(j) or 5024.1.
If a lead agency determines that an archaeological site is a historical resource, the provisions of Section 21084.1 of CEQA and Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines apply. If an archaeological site does not meet the criteria for a historical resource contained in the CEQA Guidelines, then the site may be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 21083, which is as a unique archaeological resource. As defined in Section 21083.2 of CEQA a “unique” archaeological resource is an archaeological artifact, object, or site, about which it can be clearly demonstrated that without merely adding to the current body of knowledge, there is a high probability that it meets any of the following criteria:
• Contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions and there is a demonstrable public interest in that information;
• Has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type; or,
• Is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person.
If an archaeological site meets the criteria for a unique archaeological resource as defined in Section 21083.2, then the site is to be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 21083.2, which state that if the lead agency determines that a project would have a significant effect on unique archaeological resources, the lead agency may require reasonable efforts be made to permit any or all of these resources to be preserved in place (Section 21083.1(a)). If preservation in place is not feasible, mitigation measures shall be required. The CEQA Guidelines note that if an archaeological resource is neither a unique archaeological nor a historical resource, the effects of the project on those resources shall not be considered a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(c)(4)).
A significant effect under CEQA would occur if a project results in a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a).
Substantial adverse change is defined as “physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of a historical resource would be materially impaired” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(1)). According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(2), the significance of a historical resource is materially impaired when a project demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics that:
A. Convey its historical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for, inclusion in the California Register; or
B. Account for its inclusion in a local register of historical resources pursuant to section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or its identification in a historical resources survey meeting the requirements of section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 16 ESA / D202200383.00

unless the public agency reviewing the effects of the project establishes by a preponderance of evidence that the resource is not historically or culturally significant; or C. Convey its historical significance and that justify its eligibility for inclusion in the California Register as determined by a Lead Agency for purposes of CEQA.
In general, a project that complies with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Standards) (Grimmer, 2017) is considered to have mitigated its impacts to historical resources to a less-than-significant level (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(3)).
California Register of Historical Resources
The California Register is “an authoritative listing and guide to be used by State and local agencies, private groups, and citizens in identifying the existing historical resources of the State and to indicate which resources deserve to be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from substantial adverse change” (PRC Section 5024.1[a]). The criteria for eligibility for the California Register are based upon National Register criteria (PRC Section 5024.1[b]). Certain resources are determined by the statute to be automatically included in the California Register, including California properties formally determined eligible for, or listed in, the National Register.
To be eligible for the California Register, a prehistoric or historic-period property must be significant at the local, state, and/or federal level under one or more of the following four criteria:
1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage;
2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
3. 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 values; or
4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
A resource eligible for the California Register must meet one of the criteria of significance described above, and retain enough of its historic character or appearance (integrity) to be recognizable as a historical resource and to convey the reason for its significance. It is possible that a historic resource may not retain sufficient integrity to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register, but it may still be eligible for listing in the California Register.
Additionally, the California Register consists of resources that are listed automatically and those that must be nominated through an application and public hearing process. The California Register automatically includes the following:
• California properties listed on the National Register and those formally determined eligible for the National Register;
Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 17 ESA / D202200383.00

• California Registered Historical Landmarks from No. 770 onward; and, • Those California Points of Historical Interest that have been evaluated by the OHP and have been recommended to the State Historical Commission for inclusion on the California Register.
Other resources that may be nominated to the California Register include:
• Historical resources with a significance rating of Category 3 through 5 (those properties identified as eligible for listing in the National Register, the California Register, and/or a local jurisdiction register);
• Individual historical resources;
• Historical resources contributing to historic districts; and, • Historical resources designated or listed as local landmarks, or designated under any local ordinance, such as an historic preservation overlay zone.
California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5
California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that in the event human remains are discovered, the County Coroner be contacted to determine the nature of the remains. In the event the remains are determined to be Native American in origin, the Coroner is required to contact the NAHC within 24 hours to relinquish jurisdiction.
California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98
California PRC Section 5097.98, as amended, provides procedures in the event human remains of Native American origin are discovered during project implementation. PRC Section 5097.98 requires that no further disturbances occur in the immediate vicinity of the discovery, that the discovery is adequately protected according to generally accepted cultural and archaeological standards, and that further activities take into account the possibility of multiple burials. PRC Section 5097.98 further requires the NAHC, upon notification by a County Coroner, designate and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) regarding the discovery of Native American human remains. The MLD has 48 hours from the time of being granted access to the site by the landowner to inspect the discovery and provide recommendations to the landowner for the treatment of the human remains and any associated grave goods.
In the event that no descendant is identified, or the descendant fails to make a recommendation for disposition, or if the land owner rejects the recommendation of the descendant, the landowner may, with appropriate dignity, reinter the remains and burial items on the property in a location that will not be subject to further disturbance.
California Government Code Sections 6254(r) and 6254.10 These sections of the California Public Records Act were enacted to protect archaeological sites from unauthorized excavation, looting, or vandalism. Section 6254(r) explicitly authorizes public agencies to withhold information from the public relating to “Native American graves, Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 18 ESA / D202200383.00

cemeteries, and sacred places maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission.” Section 6254.10 specifically exempts from disclosure requests for “records that relate to archaeological site information and reports, maintained by, or in the possession of the Department of Parks and Recreation, the State Historical Resources Commission, the State Lands Commission, the Native American Heritage Commission, another state agency, or a local agency, including the records that the agency obtains through a consultation process between a Native American tribe and a state or local agency.”
Assembly Bill 52 and Related Public Resources Code Sections Assembly Bill (AB) 52 was approved by California State Governor Edmund Gerry “Jerry” Brown, Jr. on September 25, 2014. The act amended California PRC Section 5097.94, and added PRC Sections 21073, 21074, 21080.3.1, 21080.3.2, 21082.3, 21083.09, 21084.2, and 21084.3.
AB 52 applies specifically to projects for which a Notice of Preparation (NOP) or a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) will be filed on or after July 1, 2015. The primary intent of AB 52 was to include California Native American Tribes early in the environmental review process and to establish a new category of resources related to Native Americans that require consideration under CEQA, known as tribal cultural resources. PRC Section 21074(a)(1) and (2) defines tribal cultural resources as “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe” that are either included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register or included in a local register of historical resources, or a resource that is determined to be a tribal cultural resource by a lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence. On July 30, 2016, the California Natural Resources Agency adopted the final text for tribal cultural resources update to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, which was approved by the Office of Administrative Law on September 27, 2016.
PRC Section 21080.3.1 requires that within 14 days of a lead agency determining that an application for a project is complete, or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency provide formal notification to the designated contact, or a tribal representative, of California Native American Tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project (as defined in PRC Section 21073) and who have requested in writing to be informed by the lead agency (PRC Section 21080.3.1(b)). Tribes interested in consultation must respond in writing within 30 days from receipt of the lead agency’s formal notification and the lead agency must begin consultation within 30 days of receiving the tribe’s request for consultation (PRC Sections 21080.3.1(d) and 21080.3.1(e)).
PRC Section 21080.3.2(a) identifies the following as potential consultation discussion topics: the type of environmental review necessary; the significance of tribal cultural resources; the significance of the project’s impacts on the tribal cultural resources; project alternatives or appropriate measures for preservation; and mitigation measures. Consultation is considered concluded when either: (1) the parties agree to measures to mitigate or avoid a significant effect, if a significant effect exists, on a tribal cultural resource; or (2) a party, acting in good faith and after reasonable effort, concludes that mutual agreement cannot be reached (PRC Section 21080.3.2(b)).

PRC Section 21082.3(c)(1) states that any information, including, but not limited to, the location, description, and use of the tribal cultural resources, that is submitted by a California Native American tribe during the environmental review process shall not be included in the environmental document or otherwise disclosed by the lead agency or any other public agency to the public without the prior consent of the tribe that provided the information. If the lead agency publishes any information submitted by a California Native American tribe during the consultation or environmental review process, that information shall be published in a confidential appendix to the environmental document unless the tribe that provided the information consents, in writing, to the disclosure of some or all of the information to the public.
Local
City of Riverside
The City of Riverside’s General Plan (2025) has several objectives and policies geared towards the preservation of archaeological resources and these are provided below:
Objective HP-1: To use historic preservation principles as an equal component in the planning and development process.
Policy HP -1.3: The City shall protect sites of archaeological and paleontological significance and ensure compliance with all applicable State and federal cultural resources protection and management laws in its planning and project review process.
Objective HP-2: To continue an active program to identify, interpret and designate the City's cultural resources.
Policy HP-2.1: The City shall actively pursue a comprehensive program to document and preserve historic buildings, structures, districts, sites (including archaeological sites), objects, landscapes, and natural resources.
Policy HP-2.3: The City shall provide information to citizens, and the building community about what to do upon the discovery of archaeological resources and burial sites, as well as, the treatment, preservation, and repatriation of such resources.
Riverside Housing and Public Safety Element Updates and Environmental Justice Policies Project CUL-1: Conduct a historical resource assessment. The individual applicants shall hire a Secretary of the Interior qualified historic preservation professional to conduct a historical resource assessment if a structure to be affected by a subsequent development project, at the time of application, is not in a previously surveyed area, is not a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA, and is at least 50 years old. The assessment shall formally evaluate the potential resource’s eligibility for listing to the CRHR, its potential eligibility as a Landmark or Structure of Merit, and its potential eligibility as a Contributor to a Historic District or Neighborhood Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 20 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
Conservation Area. If the resource is found eligible for any of those designations, it shall be considered a resource that qualifies as a historical resource under CEQA and is therefore subject to the provisions of the Cultural Resources Ordinance. This includes obtaining the pertinent Certificates of Appropriateness and ensuring that the project plans adhere to the SOI Standards.
For resources found ineligible for any of those designations, no additional mitigation would be necessary.
CUL-2: Conduct an archaeological study. For Opportunity Site development projects that require CEQA analysis (non-ministerial projects), prior to construction, and if it is determined that the development project will involve ground disturbance of some type, the applicant shall conduct an archaeological study. This study will be conducted during project specific CEQA analyses at Opportunity Sites that have not been studied in such a manner in the previous 5 years.
The archaeological study shall follow the guidelines set forth by the City of Riverside Community & Economic Development Department in the document titled Consultant Requirements for Cultural Resources Survey, Studies and Reports Information Sheet (City of Riverside Community & Economic Development Department 2011) or successor document.
The cultural resources archaeological recommendations shall be valid for 5 years after the date of the record search. After 5 years, the applicant shall retain an archaeologist who shall acquire an updated record search from the Eastern Information Center and review the cultural resources technical report recommendations.
For proposed development locations where only a record search and/or a site visit have already been conducted prior to this EIR, the project applicant shall retain an archaeologist to:
• Review record search results, site visit results, and any recommendations. • Obtain an updated record search from the Eastern Information Center if the record search is older than 5 years.
• Review available historic maps, historic aerials, and other archival materials. • Prepare a cultural resources memo with existing or updated record search results; a summary of background research of historic maps, aerials, etc.; and potential for historic and prehistoric archaeological resources to be present at the proposed development location.
Additionally, the memo shall identify potential impacts and provide recommendations.
The City shall review these findings and make a determination regarding the significance of project-level impacts prior to approval of any future development. Should the archaeological study result in the identification of archaeological resources on the proposed development site, or should unanticipated discoveries of previously unknown archaeological resources be made during ground disturbing activities at an Opportunity Site, Mitigation Measures MMCUL-3 through MM-CUL-6 would be applicable.
CUL-3: Avoid archaeological sites through establishment of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs). If archaeological resources are identified either through an archaeological study or as unanticipated discoveries during construction, implementation of Mitigation Measure MM- Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 21 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
CUL-3 would be required. Avoidance is always the preferred method of treatment for archaeological sites. Additionally, should sacred objects or objects of religious importance to Native American tribes be identified, preservation in place avoids conflicts with traditional values of tribes who ascribe meaning to these resources and their locations. Impacts on cultural resources can be avoided through establishing fencing around cultural resources with a buffer and delineating these locations as ESAs. The appropriate buffer size shall be delineated upon consultation with Native American tribes and the City (for prehistoric resources). The City and the consultant archaeologist for individual development projects shall determine appropriate buffers for historical-period (non-Native American) archaeological resources on a case-by-case basis based on the known extent of archaeological sites and the relationship to proposed ground disturbance.
CUL-4: Develop and implement an Archaeological Treatment Plan (ATP) for evaluation of newly discovered and/or unevaluated archaeological resources. Mitigation Measure MM- CUL-4 shall apply as follows:
• The results of an archaeological study conducted under Mitigation Measure MM-CUL-2 are unable to determine the eligibility of newly identified archaeological sites for inclusion to the CRHR and it is determined by the consulting archaeologist that additional study through Phase II testing is required;
• It is not possible to avoid impacts through the establishment of ESAs; or • Unanticipated archaeological resources are discovered during construction on Opportunity Sites.
If it is necessary to properly evaluate such properties in such a manner, an ATP shall be developed that describes methods and procedures for conducting subsurface excavations to determine the vertical and horizontal extents of an archaeological site. The ATP shall define the parameters of archaeological testing at the site and the extent of excavation and analysis of any materials recovered. The ATP shall also include guidelines for treatment and curation of any materials recovered during the testing process. Subsequent to implementation of the ATP, a technical report describing the methods and results of archaeological testing and formal evaluations of the archaeological sites and recommendations for further treatment shall be completed. The ATP shall be approved by the City and should involve consultation and review by Native American tribes consulting on the proposed development project. An ATP shall only be necessary for newly discovered archaeological sites that require additional information to make determinations of eligibility.
CUL-5: Implement data recovery for CRHR-eligible sites that cannot be avoided. If archaeological studies identify a cultural resource as being potentially eligible for listing in the CRHR and ESAs cannot be established or project design cannot be altered, resulting in impacts on the site, then a Phase III data recovery program shall be developed, when mutually agreed upon by Native American representatives (for prehistoric or historic-period Native American sites) and the City. The data recovery program shall be outlined in a Data Recovery Treatment Plan that details the procedures and objectives for mitigation of impacts on the archaeological Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 22 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
site. The Data Recovery Treatment Plan shall include a research design with testable hypotheses and data requirements necessary to address these hypotheses. Additionally, the Data Recovery Treatment Plan shall identify methods of excavation, analysis, and curation of any archaeological materials recovered. The Data Recovery Treatment Plan shall also identify the treatment of any human remains discovered during data recovery procedures. If the archaeological resource is Native American (prehistoric or historic-period in age), then the City, the applicant, and the archaeologist shall engage in consultation so that Native American representatives can be involved in the development of the data recovery plan. Data recovery shall involve analysis of a representative sample of the materials recovered during excavation. For prehistoric archaeological sites, all excavations should be monitored by a representative from a geographically appropriate Native American group. At the conclusion of the data recovery program, a data recovery technical report shall be completed detailing the results of the excavations and analysis. Curation of recovered archaeological materials shall be conducted per the guidance in the Data Recovery Treatment Plan and with consultation between the City and appropriate Native American tribes. Other forms of mitigation could include additional research with archival sources, landscape studies, designation of open space, public outreach programs, and public education/public displays.
CUL-6: Retain an on-call archaeologist for monitoring. For Opportunity Site development projects that require CEQA analysis, Mitigation Measure MM-CUL-6 shall be implemented when archaeological studies completed under Mitigation Measure MMCUL- 2 determine that a project has a less-than-significant potential for archaeological discoveries. Additionally, upon agreement between Native American representatives (for prehistoric or historic-period Native American sites) and the City for archaeological resources that have not been determined eligible for listing in the CRHR or NRHP that are unavoidable at an Opportunity Site, Mitigation Measure MM- CUL-6 shall be implemented. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide a letter from a qualified archaeologist stating that the applicant has retained their services, and that the archaeologist shall be on call during all grading and other significant ground- disturbing activities in native sediments.
CUL-7: Conduct archaeological and Native American monitoring. If cultural resource studies have identified archaeological resources determined eligible for the CRHR or NRHP that are unavoidable at an Opportunity Site, Mitigation Measure MM-CUL-7 shall be implemented upon agreement among Native American representatives (for prehistoric or historic-period Native American sites). At least 30 days prior to application for a grading permit and before any grading, excavation, and/or ground-disturbing activities take place, the applicant shall retain an SOI Standards–qualified archaeological monitor to monitor all ground-disturbing activities in an effort to identify any unknown archaeological resources. The archaeologist, in consultation with consulting tribes, the applicant, and the City, shall develop an Archaeological Monitoring Plan to address the details, timing, and responsibility of all archaeological and cultural activities that occur on a development site. Details in the plan shall include:
1. Project grading and development scheduling:
a. The development of a rotating or simultaneous schedule in coordination with the applicant and the project archaeologist for designated Native American tribal monitors (if Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 23 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
resources are prehistoric in age) from the consulting tribes during grading, excavation, and ground-disturbing activities on the site, including the scheduling, safety requirements, duties, scope of work, and Native American tribal monitors’ authority to stop and redirect grading activities in coordination with all project archaeologists b. The protocols and stipulations that the applicant, tribes, and project archaeologist for the individual development project shall follow in the event of inadvertent cultural resource discoveries, including any newly discovered cultural resource deposits that shall be subject to a cultural resources evaluation
c. Treatment and final disposition of any cultural resources, sacred sites, and human remains if discovered on a development site
d. The scheduling and timing of the Cultural Sensitivity Training CUL-8: Employ procedures for treatment and disposition of cultural resources. If cultural resources are inadvertently discovered during the course of grading for individual Opportunity Sites, the following procedures shall be carried out for treatment and disposition of the discoveries:
1. Consulting Tribe(s) Notified: Within 24 hours of discovery, and if the resources are Native American in origin, the consulting tribe(s) shall be notified via email and phone. The applicant shall provide the City evidence of notification to consulting tribes. Consulting tribe(s) shall be allowed access to the discovery in order to assist with the significance evaluation.
2. Temporary Curation and Storage: During the course of construction, all discovered resources shall be temporarily curated in a secure location on site or at the offices of the project archaeologist. The removal of any artifacts from a development site shall be thoroughly inventoried with tribal monitor oversight of the process.
3. Treatment and Final Disposition: The landowner(s) shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including sacred items, burial goods, and all archaeological artifacts and non- human remains, as part of the required mitigation for impacts on cultural resources. The applicant shall relinquish the artifacts through one or more of the following methods and provide the City of Riverside Community & Economic Development Department with evidence of same:
a. Accommodate the process for onsite reburial of the discovered items with the consulting Native American tribes or bands. This shall include measures and provisions to protect the future reburial area from any future impacts. Reburial shall not occur until all cataloguing and basic recordation have been completed.
b. Execute a curation agreement with an appropriate qualified repository within Riverside County that meets federal standards per 36 CFR Part 79 and therefore will ensure professional curation and availability to other archaeologists/researchers for further study.
The collections and associated records shall be transferred, including title, to an appropriate curation facility within Riverside County, to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation.
Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 24 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
c. If more than one Native American tribe or band is involved with the subsequent development project and cannot come to a consensus as to the disposition of cultural materials, curate the discovered items at the Western Science Center or Museum of Riverside by default.
d. At the completion of grading, excavation, and ground-disturbing activities on the site, provide to the City a Phase IV Monitoring Report documenting monitoring activities conducted by the project archaeologist and Native American tribal monitors within 60 days of completion of grading. This report shall document the impacts on the known resources on the property; describe how each mitigation measure was fulfilled; document the type of cultural resources recovered and the disposition of such resources; provide evidence of the required Cultural Sensitivity Training for the construction staff held during the required pre-grade meeting; and, in a confidential appendix, include the daily/weekly monitoring notes from the archaeologist. All reports produced shall be submitted to the City, the Eastern Information Center, and consulting tribes.
CUL-9: Conduct cultural sensitivity training. For Opportunity Site development projects where either Mitigation Measures MM-CUL-6 or MM-CUL-7 are implemented, Mitigation Measure MM-CUL-9 shall also be implemented. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the SOI Standards– certified archaeologist and Native American monitors shall attend the pre-grading meeting with the applicant/permit holder’s contractors to provide Cultural Sensitivity Training for all construction personnel. This shall include the procedures to be followed during ground disturbance in sensitive areas and protocols that apply in the event unanticipated resources are discovered. Only construction personnel who have received this training can conduct construction and disturbance activities in sensitive areas. A sign-in sheet for attendees of this training shall be included in the Phase IV Monitoring Report.
Archival Research
EIC Records Search
A records search for the Project was conducted on July 22, 2022, by staff at the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) housed at University of California, Riverside. The records search included a review of all recorded archaeological resources and previous studies within the Project Site and a 0.50-mile radius of the Project Site.
Previous Cultural Resources Investigations
The records search results indicate that 27 cultural resources studies have been conducted within a 0.50-mile radius of the Project Site (Table 1). Approximately 50 percent of the 0.50-mile records search radius has been included in previous cultural resources assessments. Of the 27 previous studies, none have previously included the Project Site.

Previously Recorded Cultural Resources
The records search results indicate that no archaeological resources have been previously recorded within the Project Site or 0.50-mile radius.
Sacred Lands File Search
The NAHC maintains a confidential Sacred Lands File (SLF) which contains sites of traditional, cultural, or religious value to the Native American community. The NAHC was contacted on June 27, 2022, to request a search of the SLF. The NAHC responded to the request in a letter dated August 4, 2022, indicating that the SLF search was negative (Appendix B).
Historic Maps and Aerial Photographs
Historic maps and aerial photographs were examined to provide historical information about land uses of the Project Site and to contribute to an assessment of the Project Site’s archaeological sensitivity. Available topographic maps include the 1901 and 1947 Riverside 15-minute quadrangles, the 1942, 1953, 1967, and 1980 Riverside East 7.5-minute quadrangles (Citadel EHS 2022). Historic aerial photographs were available for the years 1931, 1938 (Citadel EHS 2022a), 1948, 1959 (historicaerials.com 2022), 1966, 1968, 1978, 1985, 1989, 1994, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2016 (Citadel EHS 2022a), and 2022 (Bing Maps 2022).
Topographic Maps
Review of the 1901 historic topographic map indicates that the Project Site is undeveloped; however, adjacent unnamed roads are depicted immediately north and south of the Project Site.
Two tributaries likely associated with the Santa Ana River are depicted in the surrounding vicinity; the closest tributary is located approximately 0.25-miles north, while the second closest Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 27 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
tributary is shown as located approximately 0.90-miles south of the Project Site. Additionally, the Gage Canal is depicted as located approximately 0.57-miles east of the Project Site. The 1942 historic topographic map continues showing the Project Site as undeveloped; although, by this time the current University Avenue is depicted as Eighth Street. The 1947 historic topographic map shows that the Project Site is utilized as an orchard. The 1953 historic topographic map no longer depicts the orchard, but rather one large structure in the southern portion of the Project Site and a smaller structure in the northwest portion of the Project Site. The 1967 and 1980 historic topographic maps show no changes from the previous 1953 topographic map, with the exception of one small additional structure located northeast of the large structure in the southern portion of the Project Site.
Aerial Photographs
Review of the 1931 and 1938 aerial photographs show the Project Site as developed with orchards, while a paved road is depicted immediately south. The 1948 and 1959 aerial photographs no longer depict the orchards within the Project Site, but rather the Project Site appears as developed with at least two buildings. For instance, the current building in the southern portion of the Project Site is present on the site by 1948. A few small structures are also depicted immediately north of the current building and a rectangular building is depicted in the northwest portion (Figures 3 and 4). A driveway leading to the rectangular building in the northwest is also shown along the western portion of the Project Site. The 1966 and 1968 aerial photographs do not show major changes in the Project Site with the exception that the southwest portion appears to be used as a parking lot. The 1978 does not show changes to the Project Site.
The 1985 and 1989 aerial photographs show the Project Site as it was shown in previous aerials, but by this time, it appears that only one small structure is located in the central portion of the Project Site. The 1994, 2002, 2006, 2009, and 2012 aerial photographs show no changes in the Project Site. The 2016 aerial photograph shows the large structure in the southern portion of the Project Site as surrounded by an asphalt- parking lot.
A concrete pad appears to be located immediately north and adjacent to the asphalt parking lot.
The structure in the northwest corner appears to have been removed and only a concrete pad appears to remain. The 2022 aerial photograph shows no changes to the 2016 aerial photograph.
Review of Phase I ESA
Review of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report (Phase I ESA report) prepared for the Project indicates that a total of two underground storage tanks (USTs), one 300-gallon and one 450-gallon once existed in the Project Site, but were removed in 1984. One of the USTs stored diesel, while the other one stored gasoline (Citadel EHS 2022a). The locations of the USTs are unknown, but these are assumed to have been located in a maintenance area north of the current existing building. An abandoned clarifier is also known to have been located in the concrete pad of the maintenance area and backfilled with concrete (Citadel EHS 2022b).

Attached to the Phase I ESA report by Citadel EHS (2022a) is an earlier Phase I ESA prepared by HEI Corporation (2012), which indicates that in the northwest portion of the Project Site was a large “Quonset hut, a bowed metal building”, and in the area immediately north of the large existing building was “a smaller Quonset hut as well as a metal shed” (HEI Corporation 2012: 4).
These structures are known to have been removed by 2014 (HEI Corporation 2012).
The Phase I ESA report also indicates that early occupants of the Project Site include:
“McCormick Deering Farm Equipment in 1951; Braman Dickerson Co. between 1951 and 1955; Contractors Equipment CV in 1955; Brown Bevis Industrial Equipment Co. of Riverside in 1960; International Harvester Company between 1966 and 1977; Citrus International Trucks Inc. and Citrus Orchard Service Inc. in 1977; Jones and Sons Coach Builders in 1981; antique shops between 1986 and 1994; Kawasaki of Riverside, a motorcycle dealer, between 1995 to 2011; Riverside Seafood Restaurant in 2014; Riverside Restaurant between 2015 and 2017; and International Meiberlee in 2017” (Citadel EHS 2022a:12).
Geologic Map Review
Geologic mapping of the Riverside East/South half of San Bernardino South quadrangles by Dibblee and Minch (2003) indicate that the Project Site is located within Pleistocene aged Quaternary old alluvium (Qoa) deposits described as alluvial fan deposits consisting of sand and minor gravel. Areas north and northeast of the Project Site are depicted as located within Holocene aged Quaternary alluvial (Qg) gravel and sand of stream channels (Figure 5).
Geotechnical Report Review
ESA reviewed the Geotechnical Engineering Exploration report (Geotechnical report) prepared for the Project by Byer Geotechnical, Inc. (2022). The geotechnical report indicates that nine borings were drilled at the Project Site to approximate depths of 11 to 51.5-feet below existing grade. The exact locations of the borings are not known, as the geotechnical report does not contain figures showing boring locations. Nevertheless, the geotechnical report mentions that fill associated with previous site grading was found in borings B1 through B5, underlying the southern portion of the Project Site to a maximum depth of 2.5 feet. Additionally, natural alluvium (Qg) of stream channels, in the order of 10 feet thick was also encountered at the Project Site in borings B1 through B4 and B7. Lastly, older alluvium deposits (Qoa) were found beneath the alluvium (Qg) layer (Byer Geotechnical, Inc. 2022).

Cultural Resources Survey
Methods
On July 20, 2022, ESA archaeologist, Fatima Clark conducted a cultural resources pedestrian survey to identify surface evidence of cultural resources within the Project Site. As the southern portion of the Project Site is fully developed with an existing large building and paved parking lot, the survey was focused on the undeveloped northern portion. Approximately 98 percent of the northern Project Site was subject to a systematic pedestrian survey using transect intervals spaced at no more than 5-meters (approximately 16 feet) apart. The remaining two percent was not surveyed, since an active homeless encampment was present in the northwest portion of the Project Site. Previously unrecorded cultural resources older than 45-years were recorded on California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Site forms.
Results
The northern portion is separated from the southern portion of the Project Site by a metal fence with barbed wire. Ground surface visibility in the surveyed portion was approximately 0 to 5- percent since the majority of the Project Site is covered with grasses. Modern trash and rodent burrows were observed throughout the northern portion of the Project Site. ESA identified two built environment resources within the Project Site. These resources were documented on DPR Site forms since they appear to be older than 45 years. They will be temporarily designated as FC-Site-1 and FC-Site-2. The DPR Site Forms for these newly identified resources are provided in Appendix C of this report and are described in more detail below. Photographs of the Project Site and detailed notes were taken.
Significance/Eligibility Evaluation
Approach
Evaluation of cultural resources is determined by conducting an “evaluation” of a potential resource’s eligibility for listing in the National Register or California Register and/or determining whether it qualifies as a “unique archaeological resource” (i.e., Phase II assessment). This is achieved by applying the National and California Register criteria (including criteria for a “unique archaeological resource”) to the resources. A potentially eligible resource must also have integrity in order to be considered culturally significant. Integrity is evaluated with regard to the retention of Location, Design, Setting, Materials, Workmanship, Feeling, and Association. If a potential resource is recommended eligible for listing in the California Register or qualifies as a “unique archaeological resource,” then the resource is considered a historical resource pursuant to CEQA §15064.5 and any substantial adverse change to the resource is considered a significant impact on the environment.
Evaluation of Resources Identified Within the Project Site As discussed earlier, ESA identified two built environment resources within the Project Site (FC- Site-1 and FC-Site-2) during the pedestrian survey. These resources were evaluated for significance. Since no definitive association to a significant event or person has been found based Cultural Resources Assessment

on ESA’s research, the surveyed resources do not appear to be eligible under Criteria A or 1 or B or 2. Furthermore, the resources are made from standard construction materials and they are only partially intact, therefore, they do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represent the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values. As such, the resources do not appear to be eligible under Criterion C or 3. Finally, research and documentation of the resources and analysis of this data has documented and exhausted their information potential, and they have been recorded on standard DPR Site Forms. Therefore, the resources do not appear eligible under Criterion D or 4.
Archaeological Sensitivity Assessment
Prehistoric Archaeological Analysis
The geologic map and geotechnical report reviews indicate that the Project Site contains Holocene-age Quaternary alluvium soils of stream channels. The Holocene-age of this alluvium encompasses the entirety of human occupation in North America, and is, therefore, conducive to the preservation of subsurface prehistoric archaeological deposits. Moreover, several water sources located in the general vicinity of the Project Site would indicate a degree of sensitivity for the presence of prehistoric subsurface archaeological deposits. Nevertheless, the Project Site has been subject to a number of previous disturbances, as indicated by the historic topographic map aerial photograph and Phase I ESA review. For instance, prior to 1948, the entire Project Site was used as an orchard, which would have required a high degree of ground disturbance associated with leveling the landform, as well as the planting of trees. By and after 1948, grading likely occurred for the existing building in the southern portion and associated asphalt parking lot, and the two buildings in the northern portion (for which only concrete pads remain) of the Project Site. A total of two USTs and a clarifier are also known to have existed within the Project Site.
Lastly, the cultural resources records search and pedestrian survey yielded negative results for prehistoric archaeological resources. Based on these results, the potential to encounter prehistoric archaeological resources within the Project Site is considered low to moderate.
Historical Archaeological Analysis
As mentioned above, the Project Site was subject to historic-period land uses dating back to at least 1948, including buildings in the northern portion of the Project Site. This suggests that the Project Site could also have a low to moderate potential to contain historic-period archaeological resources. However, based on historical research that failed to identify a significant association with important events or individuals, it is unlikely that remnants of these previous uses would be eligible as historical or unique archaeological resources since they are unlikely to yield information important in history.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Since the built environment resources (FC-Site-1 and FC-Site-2) identified within the Project Site are recommended as not eligible for listing in the California Register, Project impacts to these resources are not considered a significant impact to the environment under CEQA and no further analysis is necessary.

No archaeological resources were identified within or immediately adjacent to the Project Site, and the archaeological sensitivity assessment concluded that there is a low to moderate potential for encountering subsurface archaeological resources. Nevertheless, since the Project includes ground disturbance, mitigation measures are recommended in order to reduce potential impacts to previously unknown archaeological resources and human remains to less than significant levels under CEQA. This study shows successful compliance with mitigation measure CUL-2 of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which included the preparation of a cultural resources report. CUL-3 of the MMRP would not apply. The following mitigation measures are consistent with the MMRP, and the project does not require full time monitoring. A qualified archaeologist shall be retained if unanticipated resources are encountered. If unanticipated resources are found to be significant under CEQA than CUL- 4, CUL-5, and CUL-8 of the MMRP would apply.
Mitigation Measure CUL-1 (MMRP CUL-4): Develop and implement an Archaeological Treatment Plan (ATP) for evaluation of newly discovered and/or unevaluated archaeological resources. Mitigation Measure MM-CUL-4 shall apply as follows:
• The results of an archaeological study conducted under Mitigation Measure MM-CUL-2 are unable to determine the eligibility of newly identified archaeological sites for inclusion to the CRHR and it is determined by the consulting archaeologist that additional study through Phase II testing is required;
• It is not possible to avoid impacts through the establishment of ESAs; or • Unanticipated archaeological resources are discovered during construction on Opportunity Sites.
If it is necessary to properly evaluate such properties in such a manner, an ATP shall be developed that describes methods and procedures for conducting subsurface excavations to determine the vertical and horizontal extents of an archaeological site. The ATP shall define the parameters of archaeological testing at the site and the extent of excavation and analysis of any materials recovered. The ATP shall also include guidelines for treatment and curation of any materials recovered during the testing process. Subsequent to implementation of the ATP, a technical report describing the methods and results of archaeological testing and formal evaluations of the archaeological sites and recommendations for further treatment shall be completed. The ATP shall be approved by the City and should involve consultation and review by Native American tribes consulting on the proposed development project. An ATP shall only be necessary for newly discovered archaeological sites that require additional information to make determinations of eligibility.
Mitigation Measure CUL-2 (MMRP CUL-5): Implement data recovery for CRHR-eligible sites that cannot be avoided. If archaeological studies identify a cultural resource as being potentially eligible for listing in the CRHR and ESAs cannot be established or project design cannot be altered, resulting in impacts on the site, then a Phase III data recovery program shall be developed, when mutually agreed upon by Native American representatives (for prehistoric or historic-period Native American sites) and the City. The data recovery program shall be outlined Cultural Resources Assessment
1575 University Avenue Project 35 ESA / D202200383.00
Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
in a Data Recovery Treatment Plan that details the procedures and objectives for mitigation of impacts on the archaeological site. The Data Recovery Treatment Plan shall include a research design with testable hypotheses and data requirements necessary to address these hypotheses.
Additionally, the Data Recovery Treatment Plan shall identify methods of excavation, analysis, and curation of any archaeological materials recovered. The Data Recovery Treatment Plan shall also identify the treatment of any human remains discovered during data recovery procedures. If the archaeological resource is Native American (prehistoric or historic-period in age), then the City, the applicant, and the archaeologist shall engage in consultation so that Native American representatives can be involved in the development of the data recovery plan. Data recovery shall involve analysis of a representative sample of the materials recovered during excavation. For prehistoric archaeological sites, all excavations should be monitored by a representative from a geographically appropriate Native American group. At the conclusion of the data recovery program, a data recovery technical report shall be completed detailing the results of the excavations and analysis. Curation of recovered archaeological materials shall be conducted per the guidance in the Data Recovery Treatment Plan and with consultation between the City and appropriate Native American tribes. Other forms of mitigation could include additional research with archival sources, landscape studies, designation of open space, public outreach programs, and public education/public displays.
Mitigation Measure CUL-3 (MMRP CUL-8): Employ procedures for treatment and disposition of cultural resources. If cultural resources are inadvertently discovered during the course of grading for individual Opportunity Sites, the following procedures shall be carried out for treatment and disposition of the discoveries:
1. Consulting Tribe(s) Notified: Within 24 hours of discovery, and if the resources are Native American in origin, the consulting tribe(s) shall be notified via email and phone. The applicant shall provide the City evidence of notification to consulting tribes. Consulting tribe(s) shall be allowed access to the discovery in order to assist with the significance evaluation.
2. Temporary Curation and Storage: During the course of construction, all discovered resources shall be temporarily curated in a secure location on site or at the offices of the project archaeologist. The removal of any artifacts from a development site shall be thoroughly inventoried with tribal monitor oversight of the process.
3. Treatment and Final Disposition: The landowner(s) shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including sacred items, burial goods, and all archaeological artifacts and non- human remains, as part of the required mitigation for impacts on cultural resources. The applicant shall relinquish the artifacts through one or more of the following methods and provide the City of Riverside Community & Economic Development Department with evidence of same:
a. Accommodate the process for onsite reburial of the discovered items with the consulting Native American tribes or bands. This shall include measures and provisions to protect the future reburial area from any future impacts. Reburial shall not occur until all cataloguing and basic recordation have been completed.

Cultural Resources Assessment November 2022
b. Execute a curation agreement with an appropriate qualified repository within Riverside County that meets federal standards per 36 CFR Part 79 and therefore will ensure professional curation and availability to other archaeologists/researchers for further study.
The collections and associated records shall be transferred, including title, to an appropriate curation facility within Riverside County, to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation.
c. If more than one Native American tribe or band is involved with the subsequent development project and cannot come to a consensus as to the disposition of cultural materials, curate the discovered items at the Western Science Center or Museum of Riverside by default.
d. At the completion of grading, excavation, and ground-disturbing activities on the site, provide to the City a Phase IV Monitoring Report documenting monitoring activities conducted by the project archaeologist and Native American tribal monitors within 60 days of completion of grading. This report shall document the impacts on the known resources on the property; describe how each mitigation measure was fulfilled; document the type of cultural resources recovered and the disposition of such resources; provide evidence of the required Cultural Sensitivity Training for the construction staff held during the required pre-grade meeting; and, in a confidential appendix, include the daily/weekly monitoring notes from the archaeologist. All reports produced shall be submitted to the City, the Eastern Information Center, and consulting tribes.
Mitigation Measure CUL-4 (MMRP CUL-9): Conduct cultural sensitivity training. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the SOI Standards– certified archaeologist and Native American monitors shall attend the pre-grading meeting with the applicant/permit holder’s contractors to provide Cultural Sensitivity Training for all construction personnel. This shall include the procedures to be followed during ground disturbance in sensitive areas and protocols that apply in the event unanticipated resources are discovered. Only construction personnel who have received this training can conduct construction and disturbance activities in sensitive areas.
A sign-in sheet for attendees of this training shall be provided to the City.
