The currently undeveloped 11.99-acre project site is within Assessor’s Parcel Numbers ([APN] 1108-08-04) and is located at the northeast corner of Curtis Avenue and Catawba Avenue in Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The City of Fontana (City) as the Lead Agency for the project required this assessment as part of the environmental review process to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of the assessment is to provide the City with the necessary information and analysis to determine, as mandated by CEQA, whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any archaeological resources that may exist in or around the project site. To identify and evaluate such resources, LSA conducted a cultural resources records search, additional research, review of an earlier study that included the project site, and field survey of the project site. No cultural resources were documented within the project site, and none were identified by the 2023 field survey. The negative findings and severely disturbed condition of the project (due to grading and vegetation abatement activities) are consistent with those of an earlier study that included the project site and indicated a lack of sensitivity for in situ subsurface cultural resources. STANDARD CONDITIONS In the event that archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all construction work should be halted and a qualified archaeologist consulted to determine the appropriate treatment of the discovery (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15064.5(f)). In the event human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be Native American, the County Coroner would notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which would determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection and make recommendations or preferences for treatment within 48 hours of being granted access to the site. The MLD recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials, preservation of Native American human remains and associated items in place, relinquishment of Native American human remains and associated items to the descendants for treatment, or any other culturally appropriate treatment.

1 INTRODUCTION LSA conducted a Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment for the proposed Enclave at North Fontana Project (project) in Fontana, California. The project is depicted on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Devore, California topographic quadrangle map in Township 1 North, Range 6 West, Section 25, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian (USGS 1988; Figures 1 and 2). The 11.99-acre project site is within Assessor’s Parcel Numbers ([APN] 1108-08-04). The proposed project includes the construction of a 153-unit condominium community, with 84 multi-family dwelling units and 69 single-family dwelling units at the northeast corner of Curtis Avenue and Catawba Avenue in Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The project site is surrounded by developed roadways and existing single- and two-story residential development on all sides. The project site is bounded by single-family homes to the west, single-family homes and Citrus Avenue to the east, single-family homes to the north, and Curtis Avenue to the south. The City of Fontana (City), as the Lead Agency for the project, required this assessment in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21000, et seq.). LSA completed the Phase 1 Cultural Resources Assessment to provide the City with the necessary information and analysis to determine, as mandated by CEQA, whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any significant historical/archaeological resources that may exist in or around the project site. To identify and evaluate such resources, LSA conducted a cultural resources record search including additional research, and a field survey. This report is a complete account of the methods, results, and final conclusion of the assessment.

Rainfall ranges from 5 to 15 inches annually (Beck and Haase 1974). Precipitation usually occurs in the form of winter rain, with warm monsoonal showers in summer. The nearest natural reliable source of water is Lytle Creek (approximately 3.0 miles northeast), which drains southeast. BIOLOGY At an elevation of approximately 2,460 feet, the project site is within the Lower Sonoran Life Zone of California (Schoenherr 1992), which ranges from below sea level to 3,500 feet. Plant species such as buckwheat, cholla, poison oak and sagebrush, along with xeric grasses, were noted on the property. Extensive fauna are known locally, including many endemic species of reptiles, birds, and insects. Common animals of this region include rodents, rabbits, coyotes, raptors, reptiles, vultures, and insects. GEOLOGY The project area is located at the northern end of the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province, a 900-mile-long northwest-southeast-trending structural block that extends from the Transverse Ranges to the tip of Baja California and includes the Los Angeles Basin (California Geological Survey 2002; Norris and Webb 1976). The province is approximately 225 miles wide, extending from the Colorado Desert in the east, across the continental shelf to the Southern Channel Islands (Santa Barbara, San Nicolas, Santa Catalina, and San Clemente) in the west (Sharp 1976). This region is characterized by a series of mountain ranges separated by northwest-trending valleys subparallel to faults branching from the San Andreas Fault. The geology of this province is similar to that of the Sierra Nevada, with numerous rock outcroppings useful to the Native Americans for resource milling, shelter, and ceremonial art.

No single description is universally accepted, as the various chronologies are based primarily on material developments identified by researchers familiar with sites in a particular region and variation exists essentially due to the differences in those items found at the sites. Small differences occur over time and space, which combine to form patterns that are variously interpreted. Currently, two primary regional culture chronology syntheses are commonly referenced in the archaeological literature. The first, Wallace (1955), describes four cultural horizons or time periods: Horizon I – Early Man (9000–6000 BC), Horizon II – Milling Stone Assemblages (6000–3000 BC), Horizon III – Intermediate Cultures (3000 BC–AD 500), and Horizon IV – Late Prehistoric Cultures (AD 500–historic contact). This chronology was refined by Wallace (1978) using absolute chronological dates obtained after 1955. The second cultural chronology, Warren (1968), is based broadly on Southern California prehistoric cultures and was later revised by Warren (1984; Warren and Crabtree 1986). Warren’s (1984) chronology includes five periods in prehistory: Lake Mojave (7000–5000 BC), Pinto (5000–2000 BC), Gypsum (2000 BC–AD 500), Saratoga Springs (AD 500–1200), and Protohistoric (AD 1200–historic contact). Changes in settlement pattern and subsistence focus are viewed as cultural adaptations to a changing environment, which begins with gradual environmental warming in the late Pleistocene; continues with the desiccation of the desert lakes, followed by a brief return to pluvial conditions; and concludes with a general warming and drying trend, with periodic reversals that continue to the present (Warren and Crabtree 1986). ETHNOGRAPHY The project area is near the intersection of the traditional cultural territories of the Cahuilla, Grabrieliño, and Serrano (Kroeber 1925; Heizer 1968). Tribal territories were somewhat fluid and changed over time. The first written accounts of these Southern California tribes are attributed to the mission fathers, and later documentation was by others as indicated below. Cahuilla The territory of the Cahuilla ranged from the San Bernardino Mountains south to Borrego Springs and the Chocolate Mountains, from Orocopia Mountain to the east, to the San Jacinto Plain and Palomar Mountain to the west (Bean 1978). Cahuilla territory lies within the geographic center of Southern California and encompassed diverse environments ranging from inland river valleys and foothills to mountains and desert (Bean and Shipek 1978). Cahuilla villages, generally located near water sources within canyons or near alluvial fans, comprised groups of related individuals, generally from a single lineage, and the territory around the village was owned by the villagers (Bean 1978). Like other Native American groups in Southern P HASE I C ULTURAL R ESOURCES A SSESSMENT N OVEMBER 2025 E NCLAVE AT N ORTH F ONTANA P ROJECT F ONTANA, C ALIFORNIA 6 California, the Cahuilla were semi-nomadic peoples leaving their villages and utilizing temporary campsites to exploit seasonably available plant and animal resources (James 1960). Cahuilla subsistence was based primarily on acorns, honey mesquite, screw beans, piñon nuts, and cactus fruit, supplemented by a variety of wild fruits and berries, tubers, roots, and greens (Kroeber 1925; Heizer and Elsasser 1980). Hunting deer, rabbit, antelope, bighorn sheep, reptiles, small rodents, quail, doves, ducks, and reptiles by means of bows, throwing sticks, traps, and communal drives is documented (James 1960). The Cahuilla were documented by Barrows (1900), Hooper (1920), and Strong (1929), among others. Grabrieliño The territory of the Grabrieliño included portions of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties during ethnohistoric times, and also extended inland into northwestern Riverside County (Kroeber 1925; Heizer 1968). It encompassed an extremely diverse environment that included coastal beaches, lagoons and marshes, inland river valleys, foothills, and mountains (Bean and Shipek 1978). The Grabrieliño caught and collected seasonally available food resources, and led a semi-sedentary lifestyle, living in permanent communities along inland watercourses and coastal estuaries. Individuals from these villages took advantage of the varied resources available. Seasonally, as foods became available, native groups moved to temporary camps to collect plant foods such as acorns, buckwheat, chía, berries, and fruits, and to conduct communal rabbit and deer hunts. They also established seasonal camps along the coast and near bays and estuaries to gather shellfish and hunt waterfowl (Hudson 1971). The Grabrieliño lived in small communities, which were the focus of family life. Patrilineally linked, extended families occupied each village (Kroeber 1925; Bean and Smith 1978a). Both clans and villages were apparently exogamous, marrying individuals from outside the clan or village (Heizer 1968). Grabrieliño villages were politically independent and were administered by a chief, who inherited his position from his father. Shamans guided religious and medical activities, while group hunting or fishing was supervised by individual male specialists (Bean and Smith 1978a). The nearest historically known Grabrieliño community was Horuuvunga (also known to the Serrano as Jurupet and described to Alfred Kroeber as Hurumpa), purportedly located 2 to 3 miles east or southeast of the project area (Bean and Smith 1978a; Kroeber 1925; Kirkman 1938; McCawley 1996). Given the importance of water access to precontact communities, the village was most likely near the Santa Ana River. The Grabrieliño were described by Johnston (1962), Blackburn (1962–1963), Hudson (1971), and others. Serrano The Serrano lived in the area generally north of Cahuilla territory (western Riverside County), occupying much of present-day San Bernardino County and northeastern Los Angeles County, but P HASE I C ULTURAL R ESOURCES A SSESSMENT N OVEMBER 2025 E NCLAVE AT N ORTH F ONTANA P ROJECT F ONTANA, C ALIFORNIA 7 there is some overlap in the ancestral areas. The term Serrano is Spanish for “mountaineer” or “highlander” and is derived from sierra, meaning “mountain range.” The name was given to people who inhabited the areas of the San Bernardino Mountains that had no associated mission (Bean and Smith 1978b). The Serrano culture group actually incorporates two divisions, a mountain division (referred to as the Mountain Serrano) and a desert division, referred to as the Desert Serrano (Sutton and Earle 2017). The Serrano were hunter-gatherers who exploited whatever flora was available in the area they happened to be. Generally, this flora included acorns, pinion nuts, honey, mesquite, yucca, and cactus fruits, in addition to various seeds, bulbs, and roots. Plants were consumed both raw and cooked. Food processing involved the use of manos, metates, mortars, and pestles. Antelope, deer, mountain sheep, rabbits, and rodents were hunted and captured, and the most common hunting implements were the bow and arrow, throwing stick, traps, snares, and deadfalls. Meat was prepared in earth ovens, by boiling in watertight baskets, or by parching (Bean and Smith 1978b). The Serrano had a patrilineal society composed of clans and families linked by both ancestry and ceremony, and most lived in small communities near reliable sources of water (springs, perennial seeps, streams, and small lakes) (Benedict 1924). The basic settlement unit of the Serrano was a village with a number of small satellite resource-gathering camps. The Serrano were described by Benedict (1924), Bright (1975), Strong (1929), and others. With the Spanish intrusion came a drastic change in lifestyle for the natives of Southern California. Incorporation of the indigenous populations into the mission system led to the disruption of native cultures and changes in subsistence and land use practices. Mission San Gabriel, established in 1771, probably had a limited effect until the asistencia was established near Redlands, perhaps as early as 1819 (Harley 1988). Cattle ranch/farm settlements were established on or near Indian villages, primarily in the major drainages conducive to horticulture and animal husbandry. Within a short time, the missions controlled many ranchos where Indians lived and worked. HISTORY In California, the historic era is generally divided into three periods: the Spanish Period (1769–1821), the Mexican Period (1821–1848), and the American Period (1848–present). As no resources were within the project site, the context will address the county and local community during the American period. San Bernadino County (from Goodwin 2022) San Bernardino County was created in 1853 from portions of Los Angeles and San Diego Counties due to mineral wealth, and the City of San Bernardino was incorporated as the county seat the following year. Gold was discovered in Holcomb and Bear Valleys in the San Bernardino Mountains in 1860, and placer mining began in Lytle Creek. Silver was mined at Ivanpah in 1870 and the silver mines of the Calico district were developed in the 1880s. Borax was first discovered in 1862 in the Searles Dry Lake area near Trona (Hoover et al. 1990). Agriculture ultimately replaced mining as the County’s economic base, with thousands of acres under cultivation by the beginning of World War I (McGroarty 1914). P HASE I C ULTURAL R ESOURCES A SSESSMENT N OVEMBER 2025 E NCLAVE AT N ORTH F ONTANA P ROJECT F ONTANA, C ALIFORNIA 8 City of Fontana (from City of Fontana 2025) Founded in 1913, Fontana is currently the second largest city in San Bernardino County, and the 19th largest in the State of California. Fontana began as an agricultural community in 1913 and became a thriving industrial town by 1942 due to the opening of the Henry J. Kaiser’s steel mill operations during World War II, on the outskirts of town. Kaiser Steel remained a primary source of employment and revenue until 1984 when it ceased operation. His legacy lives on at the Fontana Kaiser Permanente Facility, which now employs more than 6,000 people. Since then, the City has continued to grow rapidly due to several factors, including the development of the Kaiser Permanente Hospital facility (one of the largest medical facilities in the region) and the unparalleled population growth stimulating major residential, commercial, and industrial development. The City of Fontana was incorporated on June 25, 1952. The City and its Sphere of Influence (SOI) encompass an area of approximately 52.4 square miles and contain a population of approximately 213,000 people. It is located in San Bernardino County, approximately 50 miles east of Los Angeles. Due to its geographic location, the City is identified as “…the crossroads of the Inland Empire” (Fontana Chamber of Commerce, 2008). Fontana continues to be a vital hub for the supply chain, due to the City’s location at the crossroads of major trade routes (I-10, I-15, and SR-210) and the presence of the Union Pacific Railroad. The City is also home to many large retailers and small businesses. The Fontana Metrolink station provides a low-stress commuting option for residents working in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Today, more than 213,000 people call the City of Fontana home. Fontana’s low crime rate, affordable housing, diversity, and below-average unemployment rate has made the city one of the fastest- growing in California and a trendsetter in San Bernardino County. Temperate southern California weather allows the City to host festivals, parades and walks/races throughout the year. METHODS RECORDS SEARCH On August 25, 2025, LSA Archaeologist Matt Behrend requested a records search from the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University, Fullerton. The SCCIC is an affiliate of the California State Office of Historic Preservation and is the official State repository for cultural resource records and reports for San Bernardino County. The SCCIC returned the records search results on October 22, 2025. The objectives of this research were to (1) establish the status and extent of previously recorded resources and studies in the Project area and it’s immediate vicinity. The record search included a review of previously documented prehistoric and historic- period and cultural resource records within a 1-mile radius of the project site, as well as a review of cultural resources reports in the database. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH In October 2025, LSA Archaeologist Cassidy Sharp reviewed online historic-period maps and aerial photographs of the project site.

NATIVE AMERICAN CONSULTATION LSA, on behalf of the City of Fontana, requested a tribal consultation contact list from the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on August 22, 2025 pursuant AB 52 and SB 18. The NAHC provided a response with the updated list on September 3, 2025 (Appendix C). The tribal consultation list, and tribal consultation letters, were prepared by LSA on the City’s behalf. The City, in turn, distributed formal AB 52 and SB 18 notifications to all tribal contacts identified by the NAHC on September 30, 2025. The following tribal entities were included: • Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians • Cahuilla Band of Indians • Fort Yuma Quechan • Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation • Gabrieleno/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians • Grabrieliño Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council • Grabrieliño/Tongva Nation • Grabrieliño-Tongva Tribe • Morongo Band of Mission Indians • Quechan Indian Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation • Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians • Serrano Nation of Mission Indians • Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians • Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation P HASE I C ULTURAL R ESOURCES A SSESSMENT N OVEMBER 2025 E NCLAVE AT N ORTH F ONTANA P ROJECT F ONTANA, C ALIFORNIA 10 RESULTS RECORDS SEARCH The record search (Appendix A) identified a single historic resource within the project area and portions of two previous studies within the project area.

Aerials indicated that over time, the parcel has been subject to repeated disturbance for agricultural purposes. In the past 20 years, disturbances to the subject parcel appear to be related to nearby construction episodes on adjacent parcels. Sometime in 2015, a trailer, likely related to nearby home construction, was placed in the southwestern corner of the parcel; that trailer is still present today. FIELD SURVEY On October 9, 2025, Mr. Behrend conducted a pedestrian survey of the entire project area, utilizing transects spaced approximately 10 meters apart. The project area is a vacant lot on a site that has been disced and bulldozed repeatedly, based upon historic aerials of the project area (Appendix B). A single construction trailer remains in the Southwest corner of the parcel, potentially remaining from previous episodes of housing developments on adjacent parcels. Vegetation observed on site includes Russian thistle, ironwood/greasewood, seasonal grasses, and California buckwheat. Many push piles from previous razing of property were seen throughout the parcel. The majority of the project area surface was disturbed, and visibility was poor, with approximately 90 percent of the ground surface obscured by vegetation. Modern refuse was noted throughout the site but concentrated along the Southwest corner and the north and south perimeter. No additional historic or prehistoric cultural resources were identified (Attachment C). NATIVE AMERICAN CONSULTATION At the time this report was prepared, LSA and the City received three tribal responses to the initial outreach letters. The Ft. Yuma Quechan and Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians responded on October 24, 2025, indicating that they do not wish to participate in consultation. The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation responded on October 27, 2025, indicating that they do not object to the zoning changes at this time, but they requested a cultural resources survey and to be included in updates once a project or projects for the parcel is designated. Consultation is ongoing.

Although the southwestern extant of historic site P-36-015376 is within the project area, no historic features were previously documented within project site, and none were identified by the 2004 and 2025 field surveys. The negative findings and severely disturbed condition of the project site (due to grading and vegetation abatement activities) are consistent with those of the earlier study that included the project site and indicated a lack of sensitivity for in situ subsurface cultural resources. However, due to the proximity of historic-period archaeological and built environment resources to the project area, there is potential local interest in non-in situ resources. STANDARD CONDITIONS Upon discovery of any tribal cultural or archaeological resources, cease construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the find until the find can be assessed. All tribal cultural and archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities shall be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and tribal monitor/consultant. If the resources are Native American in origin, interested Tribes (as a result of correspondence with area Tribes) shall coordinate with the landowner regarding treatment and curation of these resources. Typically, the Tribe will request preservation in place or recovery for educational purposes. Work may continue on other parts of the project while evaluation takes place. Preservation in place shall be the preferred manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavation to remove the resource along the subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. All Tribal Cultural Resources shall be returned to the Tribe. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, they shall be offered to the Tribe or a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes. Archaeological and Native American monitoring and excavation during construction projects shall be consistent with current professional standards. All feasible care to avoid any unnecessary disturbance, physical modification, or separation of human remains and associated funerary objects shall be taken. Principal personnel shall meet the Secretary of the Interior standards for archaeology and have a minimum of 10 years’ experience as a principal investigator working with Native American archaeological sites in southern California. The Qualified Archaeologist shall ensure that all other personnel are appropriately trained and qualified. In the event human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find P HASE I C ULTURAL R ESOURCES A SSESSMENT N OVEMBER 2025 E NCLAVE AT N ORTH F ONTANA P ROJECT F ONTANA, C ALIFORNIA 17 immediately. If the remains are determined to be Native American, the County Coroner would notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which would determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection and make recommendations or preferences for treatment within 48 hours of being granted access to the site. The MLD recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials, preservation of Native American human remains and associated items in place, relinquishment of Native American human remains and associated items to the descendants for treatment, or any other culturally appropriate treatment.
