MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Between June 2022 and September 2023, at the request of MIG, Inc., CRM TECH performed
a cultural resources study on approximately 15.44 acres of partially developed rural land in the
southern portion of the City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The subject
property of the study encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 0251-151-03 to -07, -09, -10,
-14 to -16, -18 to -22, and -39 to -44. These 21 contiguous parcels are located east of Citrus
Avenue and between Slover Avenue and Boyle Avenue, in the southwest quarter of Section
19, T1S R5W, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian.
The study is part of the environmental review process for the proposed CHIPT Citrus-Boyle
Warehouse Project, which entails primarily the construction of two commercial warehouses
measuring approximately 126,537 square feet and 167,588 square feet, respectively. The City
of Fontana, as the lead agency for the project, required the study in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of the study is to provide the
City with the necessary information and analysis to determine whether the project would cause
substantial adverse changes to any “historical resources,” as defined by CEQA, that may exist
in or near the project area. In order to identify such resources, CRM TECH conducted a
historical/archaeological resources records search, initiated a Native American Sacred Lands
File records search, contacted the Fontana Historical Society, pursued historical background
research, and carried out intensive-level field surveys.
As a result of these research procedures, 13 of the 21 parcels in the project area were found to
contain one or more buildings constructed between 1940 and 1953. Among these, the
buildings on five of the parcels retained sufficient historical characteristics to relate to their
period of origin, including four residential properties and a warehouse. These five properties
were recorded into the California Historical Resources Inventory during this study and
designated temporarily as Sites 3903-1H and 3904-1H to 3904-4H, pending assignment of
official identification numbers. None of these five properties, however, appears to meet any
of the criteria for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, and therefore none
of them meets the statutory definition of a “historical resource” under CEQA. No
archaeological sites or other potential “historical resources” were encountered throughout the
course of the study.
Based on the research results summarized above, CRM TECH recommends to the City of
Fontana a finding of No Impact regarding cultural resources. No further cultural resources
investigation is recommended for the proposed project unless development plans undergo such
changes as to include areas not covered by this study. However, if any buried cultural materials
are encountered during earth-moving operations associated with the project, all work in that
area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and
significance of the finds.

INTRODUCTION
Between June 2022 and September 2023, at the request of MIG, Inc., CRM TECH performed a
cultural resources study on approximately 15.44 acres of partially developed rural land in the
southern portion of the City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California (Fig. 1). The subject
property of the study encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 0251-151-03 to -07, -09, -10,
-14 to -16, -18 to -22, and -39 to -44. These 21 contiguous parcels are located east of Citrus Avenue
and between Slover Avenue and Boyle Avenue, in the southwest quarter of Section 19, T1S R5W,
San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian (Figs. 2, 3).
The study is part of the environmental review process for the proposed CHIPT Citrus-Boyle
Warehouse Project, which entails primarily the construction two commercial warehouses measuring
approximately 126,537 square feet and 167,588 square feet, respectively. The City of Fontana, as
the lead agency for the project, required the study in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of the study is to provide the City with the necessary information
and analysis to determine whether the project would cause substantial adverse changes to any
“historical resources,” as defined by CEQA, that may exist in or near the project area.
In order to identify such resources, CRM TECH conducted a historical/archaeological resources
records search, initiated a Native American Sacred Lands File records search, contacted the Fontana
Historical Society, pursued historical background research, and carried out intensive-level field
surveys. The following report is a complete account of these research procedures and the conclusion
of the study. Personnel who participated in the study are named in the appropriate sections below,
and their qualifications are provided in Appendix 1.

SETTING
CURRENT NATURAL SETTING
The City of Fontana is located in the central portion of the San Bernardino Valley, a broad inland
valley defined by the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountain Ranges on the north and a series of
low rocky hills on the south. Geologically, the San Bernardino Valley lies on the northern rim of the
Peninsular Ranges Province. The natural environment of the region is characterized by its temperate
Mediterranean climate, with the average maximum temperature in July reaching 95º Fahrenheit and
the average minimum temperature in January hovering around 46º. Rainfall is typically less than 15
inches annually, most of which occurs between November and March.
The project area is bounded by Boyle Avenue on the north, Citrus Avenue and an ARCO fueling
station to the west, Slover Avenue on the south, and residential and commercial properties to the east
along Oleander Avenue. There are several single-family residences along Boyle and Slover
Avenues, along with a large metal warehouse in an open area in the interior of the project area (Figs.
3, 4). The surrounding land use is largely the same as the project property, but the area is
experiencing rapid change due to large-scale commercial development.
Elevations in the project area range approximately between 1,072 feet and 1,084 feet above mean
sea level over relatively level terrain. The native soils are gray-brown in color, composed of active
alluvial-channel deposits from the late Holocene Epoch (Morton 2003). The ground surface has
been greatly disturbed by past agricultural operations and construction activities, with some areas
covered with concrete, asphalt, or imported gravel (Fig. 4). The existing vegetation consists mainly
of landscaping plants, such as palms, citrus trees, trees of heaven, and various grasses and bushes.

CULTURAL SETTING
Prehistoric Context
The earliest evidence of human occupation in the Inland Empire was discovered below the surface of
an alluvial fan in the northern portion of the Lakeview Mountains, overlooking the San Jacinto
Valley, with radiocarbon dates clustering around 9,500 B.P. (Horne and McDougall 2008). Another
site found near the shoreline of Lake Elsinore, close to the confluence of Temescal Wash and the
San Jacinto River, yielded radiocarbon dates between 8,000 and 9,000 B.P. (Grenda 1997).
Additional sites with isolated Archaic dart points, bifaces, and other associated lithic artifacts from
the same age range have been found in the nearby Cajon Pass area of the San Bernardino Mountains,
typically atop knolls with good viewsheds (Basgall and True 1985; Goodman and McDonald 2001;
Goodman 2002; Milburn et al. 2008).
The cultural prehistory of southern California has been summarized into numerous chronologies,
including those developed by Chartkoff and Chartkoff (1984), Warren (1984), and others.
Specifically, the prehistory of the inland region has been addressed by O’Connell et al. (1974),
McDonald et al. (1987), Keller and McCarthy (1989), Grenda (1993), Goldberg (2001), and Horne
and McDougall (2008). Although the beginning and ending dates of different cultural horizons vary
regionally, the general framework for the prehistory can be divided into three primary periods:
6
• Paleoindian Period (ca. 18,000-9,000 B.P.): Native peoples of this period created fluted
spearhead bases designed to be hafted to wooden shafts. The distinctive method of thinning
bifaces and spearhead preforms by removing long, linear flakes are diagnostic Paleoindian
markers at tool-making sites. Other artifacts associated with the Paleoindian toolkit include
choppers, cutting tools, retouched flakes, and perforators. Sites from this period are very sparse
across the landscape and most are deeply buried.
• Archaic Period (ca. 9,000-1,500 B.P.): Archaic sites are characterized by abundant lithic scatters
of considerable size with many biface thinning flakes, bifacial preforms broken during
manufacture, and well-made groundstone bowls and basin metates. During dart making many
biface thinning waste flakes were generated at individual production stations, which is a
diagnostic feature of Archaic sites.
• Late Prehistoric Period (ca. 1,500 B.P.-contact): Sites from this period typically contain small
lithic scatters from the manufacture of small arrow points or expedient groundstone tools such as
tabular metates and unshaped manos, wooden mortars with stone pestles, acorn or mesquite bean
granaries, ceramic vessels, shell beads suggestive of extensive trading networks, and steatite
implements such as pipes and arrow shaft straighteners.
Ethnohistoric Context
The City of Fontana lies in in a region where the traditional territories of two Native American
groups, the Serrano and the Gabrielino, overlapped (Bean and Smith 1978a; 1978b). The homeland
of the Gabrielino, probably the most influential Native American group in aboriginal southern
California (Bean and Smith 1978a:538), was centered in the Los Angeles Basin and reached as far
east as the San Bernardino-Riverside area. The homeland of the Serrano was centered in the San
Bernardino Mountains but also included the slopes and lowlands on the flanks of the mountain range
and the southern portion of the Mojave Desert. Whatever the linguistic affiliation, Native Americans
in and around the Fontana area exhibited similar social organization and resource procurement
strategies. Villages were based on clan or lineage groups. Their home/base sites are marked by
midden deposits, often with bedrock mortars. During their seasonal rounds to exploit plant
resources, small groups would migrate within their traditional territory in search of specific plants
and animals. Their gathering strategies often left behind signs of special use sites, usually grinding
slicks on bedrock boulders, at the locations of the resources.
As early as 1542, the Gabrielino were in contact with the Spanish during the historic expedition of
Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, but it was not until 1769 that the Spaniards took steps to colonize
Gabrielino territory. Shortly afterwards, most of the Gabrielino people were incorporated into
Mission San Gabriel and other missions in southern California. Spanish influence on Serrano
lifeways was minimal until the 1810s, when a mission asistencia was established on the southern
edge of Serrano territory. Between then and the end of the mission era in 1834, most of the Serrano
in the western portion of their traditional territory were removed to the nearby missions. In the
eastern portion, a series of punitive expeditions in 1866-1870 resulted in the death or displacement
of almost all remaining Serrano population in the San Bernardino Mountains. Today, most Serrano
descendants are affiliated with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (formerly known as the San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians), the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, or the Serrano Nation of
Indians.

Historic Context
In 1772, three years after the beginning of Spanish colonization of Alta California, Pedro Fages,
comandante of the new province, and a small force of soldiers under his command became the first
Europeans to set foot in the San Bernardino Valley (Beck and Haase 1974:15). They were followed
in the next few years by two other famed early Spanish explorers, Juan Bautista de Anza and
Francisco Garcés, who traveled through the valley in the mid-1770s (ibid.). Despite these early
visits, for the next 40 years the inland valley received little impact from the Spanish colonization
activities in Alta California, which were concentrated predominantly in the coastal regions.
After Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, the new authorities in Alta California began
to dismantle the mission system in 1834 through the process of secularization. During the next 12
years, former mission ranchos throughout Alta California were surrendered to the Mexican
government, and subsequently divided and granted to prominent citizens of the province. While
several of these land grants, or ranchos, were in the vicinity of present-day Fontana, most of the
Fontana area remained public land when Alta California became a part of the United States in 1848.
Used primarily as cattle ranches, the ranchos around Fontana saw little development until a group of
Mormon settlers from Salt Lake City founded the town of San Bernardino in 1851.
After the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the mid-1870s, and especially after the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway introduced a competing line in the 1880s, a phenomenal
land boom swept through much of southern California, including many new settlements in the San
Bernardino Valley. In 1887, the Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company purchased a large tract of
land near the mouth of Lytle Creek, together with the necessary water rights to the creek, and laid
out the townsites of Rialto, Bloomington, and Rosena (Schuiling 1984:90).
While Rialto and Bloomington were soon settled and began to grow, little development took place at
Rosena before the collapse of the 1880s land boom and the ensuing financial destruction of the
Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company (Ingersoll 1904:620; Schuiling 1984:90, 102). In 1905,
Azariel Blanchard “A.B.” Miller (1878-1941), arrived in Rosena from the Imperial Valley and,
along with his associates, established Fontana Farms on a tract of land that eventually reached
20,000 acres (Anicic 2005:32-40). By 1910, much of the land was planted in grain and citrus crops
with a reliable irrigation system (Schuiling 1984:102). Miller’s Fontana Farms became synonymous
to the location, and Rosena was renamed Fontana in 1913. It remained agricultural through the
WWII era, with poultry, hog, and rabbit raising also becoming important to the local economy.
In 1942, the establishment of the Kaiser Steel Mill dramatically altered the agrarian setting of the
Fontana area. With other industrial enterprises following Kaiser to the area during and after WWII,
Fontana became known for the next four decades as a center of heavy industry (Schuiling 1984:106).
Since the closure of the Kaiser Steel Mill in 1983, and in response to the growing demand for
affordable housing, Fontana, like many other cities in the San Bernardino Valley, has increasingly
taken on the characteristics of a “bedroom community.” When Fontana incorporated in 1952, the
project area and the surrounding properties, long known as South Fontana, were not included in the
city limits. Instead, the area remained under county jurisdiction and maintained a mostly rural
character until it became part of a large annexation by the City in 2006, which greatly accelerated
residential and commercial development in the area.

RESEARCH METHODS
RECORDS SEARCH
On June 13, 2022, CRM TECH archaeologist Nina Gallardo conducted the historical/archaeological
resources records search for this study at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC).
Located on the campus of California State University, Fullerton, SCCIC is the State of California’s
official cultural resource records repository for the County of San Bernardino. During the records
search, Gallardo examined digital maps, records, and databases for previously identified cultural
resources and existing cultural resources reports within a one-mile radius of the project area.
Previously identified cultural resources include properties designated as California Historical
Landmarks, Points of Historical Interest, San Bernardino County Landmarks, as well as those listed
in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, or the
California Historical Resources Inventory.
SACRED LANDS FILE SEARCH
On June 2, 2022, CRM TECH submitted a written request to the State of California Native American
Heritage Commission (NAHC) for a records search in the commission’s Sacred Lands File. The
NAHC is the State of California’s trustee agency for the protection of “tribal cultural resources,” as
defined by California Public Resources Code §21074, and is tasked with identifying and cataloging
properties of Native American cultural value, including places of special religious, spiritual, or social
significance and known graves and cemeteries throughout the state. The response from the NAHC is
summarized below and attached to this report in Appendix 2.
CONSULTATION WITH FONTANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
As a part of the research procedures, the Fontana Historical Society was contacted by e-mail on
October 4, 2022, for supplementary information on the history of the property and for local
community input regarding potential historic interest any of the buildings on the property. A follow-
up inquiry was subsequently sent to the Fontana Historical Society on October 10, 2022. To date, no
response has been received.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND RESEARCH
Historical background research for this study was completed by CRM TECH historian/architectural
historian Terri Jacquemain in two phases. The initial background research was based mainly on
published literature in local and regional history, historical maps, and aerial/satellite photographs of
the project vicinity. Among the maps consulted for this study were U.S. General Land Office (GLO)
land survey plat maps dated 1856 and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps dated
1901-1980, which are available at the websites of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the
USGS. The aerial and satellite photographs, taken between 1938 and 2021, are available at
Nationwide Environmental Title Research (NETR) Online website, at the University of California
(Santa Barbara) Geospatial Collection, and through the Google Earth software.

After the identification of historic-era buildings in the project area, Jacquemain pursued more
specific and in-depth research on the history of these buildings to ascertain construction and
ownership histories. Sources consulted during this phase of the research included primarily the
archival records of the County of San Bernardino and the City of Fontana, particularly real property
tax assessment records and building safety records, along with various online genealogical
databases.
FIELD SURVEY
On August 1, 2022, Nina Gallardo carried out the intensive-level field survey of the project area.
Where practicable, primarily in open areas not covered by pavement, the survey was completed by
walking a series of parallel north-south transects spaced 15 meters (approximately 50 feet) apart. In
areas occupied by buildings and other built-environment features, the survey followed meandering
lines placed opportunistically wherever the ground was exposed. In this way, the ground surface in
the project area was carefully examined for any evidence of human activities dating to the
prehistoric or historic period (i.e., 50 years or older).
Where the surface soil was exposed, ground visibility was very good (85-90%), but this was limited
to roughly 30% of the total acreage surveyed on that day. Considering the extent of past ground
disturbance on the property, however, the survey was considered adequate for the purpose of this
study in spite of the limitations of surface visibility. After additional parcels were incorporated into
the project area in 2023, CRM TECH archaeologist Hunter O’Donnell carried out a similar field
survey on August 14, 2023, with good ground visibility due to recent mechanical clearing.
In conjunction with the archaeological field survey, Terri Jacquemain carried out a field inspection
of the buildings and structures in the project area. To facilitate proper recordation and evaluation of
the buildings, Jacquemain made detailed notations and preliminary photo-documentation of their
structural and architectural characteristics and current conditions, focusing particularly on buildings
that appeared to be more than 50 years old and retained sufficiently recognizable historical
characteristics. The field observations form the basis of the building descriptions and evaluation
presented below, and the resulting California Historical Resources Inventory record forms are
attached to this report as Appendix 3.
RESULTS AND FINDINGS
RECORDS SEARCH
According to SCCIC records, the project area was involved in at least two previous studies,
including a 2002 survey for a freeway interchange project that may have covered the western edge of
the property (#1064258 in Fig. 5), and a 2004 reconnaissance-level study prior to annexation by the
City of Fontana (#1064371 in Fig. 5). No cultural resources were recorded on the property as a
result of these or any other studies.
Within the one-mile scope of the records search, SCCIC records identified 44 additional studies
completed between 1984 and 2015 on various tracts of land and linear features (Fig. 5), resulting in
the identification of 22 historical/archaeological sites within the one-mile radius, as listed in Table 1
10
below. All of the sites dated to the historic period. The nearest one was Site 36-013861,
representing a 1952 single-family residence at 16112 Boyle Avenue, across the street from the
project area. The residence was recorded during the 2002 study mentioned above and was found not
to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of
Historical Resources at the time. The rest of the sites also consisted mostly of single-family
residential properties, along with a few commercial buildings and the former Southern Pacific (now
Union Pacific) Railroad. Since none of these known cultural resources has any potential to be
impacted by the proposed project, none of them require further consideration during this study.

SACRED LANDS FILE SEARCH
In response to CRM TECH’s inquiry, the NAHC reports in a letter dated July 5, 2022, that Sacred
Lands File identified no Native American cultural resources in the project vicinity. Noting that the
absence of specific information does not necessarily indicate the absence of such resources,
however, the NAHC recommends that local Native American groups be consulted for further
information. For that purpose, the NAHC provided a referral list of potential local contacts. The
NAHC’s reply is attached to this report as Appendix 2 for reference by the City of Fontana in future
government-to-government consultations with the recommended tribal groups, if necessary.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND RESEARCH
Historical sources consulted for this study indicate that in the 1850s, when the U.S. government
conducted the first systematic land surveys in the San Bernardino Valley, the only human-made
feature observed in the project vicinity was a road running in a northeast-southwest direction less
than a half-mile to the southeast (Fig. 7). In the 1890s, the Southern Pacific Railroad had become

12
the most notable feature nearby (Fig. 8). The San Sevaine station on the railroad was located
roughly a half-mile to the west of the project location, but the land in and near the project boundaries
evidently remained unsettled and undeveloped (Fig. 8).
By the late 1930s, a regular grid of roads at wide intervals, typical of rural southern California at the
time, had been established in the surrounding area, including the forerunners of today’s Citrus,
Slover, and Boyle Avenues (Fig. 9). Like the surrounding area, most of the land within the project
boundaries was devoted to agriculture, primarily horticulture, in the early to mid-20th century (Fig.
10; NETR Online 1938-1959). Maps from that time indicate a lone building stood at the
southwestern corner of the project area, but aerial images show many more buildings within the
project boundaries, including at least three apparent residences and four long rectangular structures
that were undoubtedly agriculture related (NETR Online 1938). None of them, however, stood at
locations that match any of the buildings or structures currently extant on the property.
Between 1940 and 1950, the groves in the project area matured but were not expanded, and several
of the residences along Boyle and Slover Avenues were removed (NETR Online 1938-1959; County
Assessor 1940-1951). By 1953, the large warehouse building in the project area had been built
(FrameFinder 1953). Starting in the late 1950s, the orchards in the project area were gradually
abandoned as more buildings sprang up (NETR Online 1959-1966). By the 1980s, farming
operations had largely ceased in the project area (NETR Online 1966-1985).
The entire project area was once part of a 20-acre parcel known as Lot 741, which was one of the
hundreds of similarly sized properties subdivided by A.B. Miller’s Fontana Farms Company in the

early 1920s (County Assessor 1923-1928). The manageable size of the properties created many
private family-owned citrus orchards, poultry and rabbit ranches, cattle farms, vineyards, walnut
groves, and other smaller-scale agricultural enterprises in the South Fontana area. In 1928, when
Stewart C. and Georgia A. Harris acquired all of Lot 741, some of the land had already been planted
with orchards (ibid.). The Harrises spent the next five years subdividing their 20-acre purchase
(County Assessor 1923-1928).
Most of the project area was deeded to James and Jane Enwistle around 1928, who further deeded
about half to Melvin J. and Lena Bodden around 1946, but real property tax assessment records note
dozens of subdivisions and owners over the years. Among the owners found in the records from the
1940s and 1950s, when all the currently extant residences in the project area were built, were Henry
C. and Ann Weihard, Corey E. and Lois R Brock, Willard W. and Betty Jane Ross, Joseph A. and
Minnie Cook, and Hans and Lena Isler (County Assessor 1940-1951; see App. 3 for further details).
When the metal storage warehouse was built around 1953, the Rosses were property owners of that
parcel (ibid.; n.d.; FrameFinder 1953).
FIELD SURVEY
No archaeological resources of prehistoric origin were encountered within the project boundaries.
The survey results confirmed that the ground surface had been extensively disturbed by agricultural,
construction, and demolition activities and is currently littered with building debris, domestic refuse,
and concrete slab foundations left by demolished buildings. The refuse items, whenever datable,
proved to be modern in origin and thus demonstrated no historical/archaeological interest. The
14
building remains, although from the historic period in most cases, are ubiquitous, minor, and
fragmented features without any particularly notable qualities. Occurring without substantial artifact
deposits in association, they have little potential to be considered historically significant and as such
require no further study.
The field inspection observations resulted in a finding that 13 of the 21 parcels in the project area
contain one or more buildings dating to between 1940 and 1953. Among these, the buildings on five
of the parcels retained sufficient historical characteristics to relate to their period of origin, including
four residential properties and a warehouse all built between 1946 and 1953 (see Table 2). These
five cultural resources were recorded into the California Historical Resources Inventory during this
study and designated temporarily as Sites 3903-1H and 3904-1H to 3904-4H, pending assignment of
official identification numbers.

The design, layout, materials, and overall appearance of the residences are all consistent with modest
bungalows or early Ranch-style homes that prevailed during the WWII era and the years soon after.
The buildings reflect common building practices of the time and none of them exhibit any
distinguished or remarkable qualities in architectural design (Fig. 11). In most cases, they are wood-
framed structures with medium-pitched gable roofs, clad with stucco or board siding. Fenestration
includes a few bay windows and double-hung windows, and many modern aluminum-framed sliding
replacements. The buildings are all vacant and suffer from neglect. Detailed building descriptions
and other additional information are presented in the record forms attached to this study as Appendix
3. The rest of the buildings in the project area are either of modern origin or have been modernized
and/or altered so as to no longer sufficiently relate to their historic-era origin, and the earliest among
them, a circa 1928 residence, is fire-damaged. These buildings were photographed but were not
recorded.
DISCUSSION
APPLICABLE STATUTORY/REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The purpose of this study is to identify any cultural resources in the project area and to assist the
City of Fontana in determining whether they meet the official definition of “historical resources,” as
provided in the California Public Resources Code, in particular CEQA. According to PRC
§5020.1(j), “‘historical resource’ includes, but is not limited to, any object, building, site, area, place,
record, or manuscript which is historically or archaeologically significant, or is significant in the
architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military,
or cultural annals of California.”
15
Figure 11. Some of the altered and modernized historic-period buildings that were not recorded in the project area
during this study: (top row) two buildings at 16221 Boyle Avenue (circa 1936); (middle row) 16235 Boyle Avenue
(circa 1947) and 16283 Boyle Avenue (circa 1928); and (bottom row) two buildings at 16256 Slover Avenue
(1928/1939).
More specifically, CEQA guidelines state that the term “historical resources” applies to any such
resources listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical
Resources, included in a local register of historical resources, or determined to be historically
significant by the lead agency (Title 14 CCR §15064.5(a)(1)-(3)). Regarding the proper criteria for
the evaluation of historical significance, CEQA guidelines mandate that “generally a resource shall
be considered by the lead agency to be ‘historically significant’ if the resource meets the criteria for
listing on the California Register of Historical Resources” (Title 14 CCR §15064.5(a)(3)). A
resource may be listed in the California Register if it meets any of the following criteria:
16
(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.
(4) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
(PRC §5024.1(c))
RESOURCE EVALUATION
In summary of the research results presented above, and four residential properties and a warehouse
were recorded into the California Historical Resources Inventory during this study, namely the
single-family properties at 16204 Slover Avenue and 16177, 16197 and 16251 Boyle Avenue and
the warehouse at 16191 Boyle Avenue. No other potential “historical resources” were encountered
within the project area. Each of these properties was evaluated under the California Register criteria
listed above, as summarized below, and presented in more detail in the attached record forms.
All of the buildings recorded during this study were constructed between 1940 and 1953, at a time
when the south Fontana area experienced a gradual transition from its agricultural roots to a more
suburban role during and soon after World War II. The recorded buildings retain sufficient historic
integrity to relate to this episode in the area’s growth, but they do not demonstrate a particularly
close or important association with this pattern of events or with any other established themes in
local and regional history considering the many thousands of modest rural residences of similar
vintage in the surrounding region.
The historical background research has identified no persons or specific events of recognized
historic significance, nor any prominent architects, designers, or builders in close association with
these four buildings. In terms of architectural or aesthetic merits, none of the buildings represents an
important example of any style, type, period, region, or method of construction, nor does any of
them embody any particular architectural ideal or design concept. None of them appears to hold any
special historical interest to the community or have the potential for any significance information for
the study of the 1940s-1950s era, a period of history that is well documented in published literature,
archival records, and contemporary sources. Based on these considerations, and in light of the
criteria listed above, the present study concludes that none of the buildings recorded as Sites 3903-
1H and 3904-1H to 3904-H appears eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical
Resources. Therefore, none of them constitutes a “historical resource” under CEQA provisions.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CEQA establishes that “a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment” (PRC
§21084.1). “Substantial adverse change,” according to PRC §5020.1(q), “means demolition,
destruction, relocation, or alteration such that the significance of a historical resource would be
impaired.” Since no “historical resources,” as defined by CEQA, have been identified within the
project area, CRM TECH presents the following recommendations to the City of Fontana:
17
• The proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change to any known “historical
resources.”
• No further cultural resources investigation will be necessary for the project unless development
plans undergo such changes as to include areas not covered by this study.
• If any buried cultural materials are encountered during earth-moving operations associated with
the project, all work in that area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can
evaluate the nature and significance of the finds.

Re: Proposed Boyle Southwest Project, San Bernardino County
Dear Ms. Gallardo:
A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF)
was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The
results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not
indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural
resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.
Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources
in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential
adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated;
if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By
contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to
consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of
notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to
ensure that the project information has been received.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify
me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email
address: Andrew.Green@nahc.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
Andrew Green

was born in Canada and was a 37-year-old steel machinist in 1950. No permits

windows on this building are also sliders, but of more recent origin, the former
garage door entry has been filled with dark brown rough-hewn and diagonally set

*B10. Significance (continued): of common character and cannot be considered important or
remarkable examples of any style, property type, period, region, or method of
construction, neither do they embody the work or accomplishment of any prominent
architect, designer, or builder. Furthermore, as two of the thousands of modest
rural residences dominating the local landscape, these buildings hold little
potential to yield new or important data for the study of local history, which
is well-documented in historical accounts and archival records. Based on these
considerations, the residential buildings at 16251 Boyle Avenue do not appear
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or the

*B6. Construction History: (Construction date, alterations, and date of alterations) Aerial images show that
the property at 16204 Slover Avenue in 1938 was undeveloped land until between
1938 and 1948 during which time two buildings appeared, one of them compatible
to the location of this building. In 1945, the almost one-acre property was
acquired by Henry C. and Ann Wiehard, and a modest increase in real property
tax assessment the next year suggests the residence was built soon after they
became deedholders. By the 1970s Edward and Edna Thorp were owners. No permits
were found for this address in city or county building records. The present
owner, CHIPT, acquired the property in 2022.

south-facing building sports vertical board-and-batten siding and a slightly
lower roof. Small rectangular vents are set under the gable peaks. The
enclosure of the porch included filling in the upper porch with two sets of two
vertically divided aluminum-framed sliding windows framed by white board trim,
and the relocation of the main entry to the east side. Similar windows are
spaced across the sides of the building, Two additional entries are also found
on either side. A modern garage with similar siding stands a short distance to
the northeast. The building appears to have been recently vacated and is in

indicated this residence was built around 1947, and it does appear in 1948
aerial photos. In 1940, the property was part of a nearly six-acre parcel owned
by Switzerland natives Hans and Lena Isler, who deed this portion of their land
to Joseph A. and Minnie C. Cook around 1949. In the mid-1970s it was owned by
Philip D. or Barbra A. Ross. A 1993 permit for an evaporative cooler was issued
to Reba Ross, and a permit for a new roof was issued in 2005 to then-owner James
Power. The present owners, CHIPT, acquired the property in 2022.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope.
Also address integrity.) This circa 1947 residence is among the earlier residences to
appear among the agricultural fields of mid-20th century south Fontana, but
despite the longevity, historical research has found no evidence that it shares
a close association any theme, pattern of events, or persons of recognized
significance in in national state, or local history. (Continued on p. 4)

*P3a. Description (continued): The main entry opens to the west from under the front gable
overhang, which is supported by an open-work wrought iron column sunk into a
small concrete porch. Next to the door are two, wood-framed vertical window
openings that have been sealed by a tarp or similar material, while the eastern
bay features a large, fixed sash flanked by two-over-one sash double hung
windows, of which two more fill the western bay. All of the windows are wood
framed with narrow lug sills. A second entry is found on the western side,
sheltered by a pent roof supported by two more of the wrought iron columns. A
low, red brick planter runs the length of the front, and wraps the corners.
According to a neighbor, the house has been altered to serve as a duplex, with
one unit currently in use. It is in neglected condition.
*B10. Significance (continued): Architecturally, the building is unremarkable and could not
be considered an important example of any style, property type, period, region,
or method of construction, or to embody the work or accomplishment of any
prominent architect, designer, or builder. Furthermore, as one among thousands
of modest rural residences of similar vintage in the local scheme, this building
holds little potential to yield any new or important data for the study of local
history, which is well-documented in historical accounts and archival records.
Based on these considerations, the residential building at 16197 Boyle Avenue
does not appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places
or the California Register of Historical Resources.

*P3a Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting,
and boundaries) This north-south oriented utilitarian steel structure rests on a
concrete foundation. It is composed of four tall one-story rectangular masses
of pieced and riveted lightly corrugated metal panels. Three of masses are the
same length and one, the westernmost, is shorter than the rest at the southern
end, although the adjacent mass makes up length in roof only, as it shelters an
open docking area Each section is surmounted by a low-pitched front-gable
roof sheathed with corrugated metal sheets, together forming a sawtooth pattern
of four parallel gables. The roof has no eaves but is nevertheless trimmed

*P3a. Description (continued): with horizontal metal strips. Despite the similarity to the
once-popular sawtooth roof often found on early 20th century citrus packing
houses, the roof does not conform to that sawtooth design, which would feature
a series of ridges at dual pitches and with the steeper, often vertical, surfaces
glazed for day lighting.
The docking area consists of a one-story-tall, elevated concrete dock and
material storage area, shielded from above by a metal and steel beam roof
supported by four thick steel rib trusses. Large metal sliding doors access the
middle portion from the southern end, and another accesses the eastern portion
from the northern end. Steel-framed hopper windows are placed intermittently
near the top of the walls, though several of the windows have been moved and
the openings sealed with metal panels. The northern side features several
entries with steel commercial doors but appears to be otherwise blind.
*B10. Significance (continued): or to embody the work or accomplishment of any prominent
architect, designer, or builder. Furthermore, the building does not appear to
possess potential to yield any new or important data for the study of local
history, which is well-documented in historical accounts and archival records.
Based on these considerations, the commercial storage warehouse at 16191 Boyle
Avenue does not appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places or the California Register of Historical Resources.
