1.0 Introduction
Hernandez Environmental Services (HES) was contracted to prepare a General Biological
Assessment (GBA) for an approximately 5.3-acre project site consisting of Assessor’s Parcel
Number (APN) 1110-101-34 located in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California.
1.1 Project Site Location
The 5.3-acre project site is located east of Tokay Avenue, west of Citrus Avenue, and south of
Malaga Avenue Avenue in the city of Fontana, in San Bernardino County, California.
Specifically, the project site is located within section 1, township 1 south, and range 6 west
within the Fontana United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5’ topographic quadrangles. The
center point latitude and longitude for the project site are 34° 06' 39.7301" North, 117° 27'
17.1214" West (Figures 1 and 2).
1.2 Project Description
The proposed project consists of the construction of a single-family residential development,
including 37 single-family lots, a clubhouse, recreational areas, associated parking, streets, and
related appurtenances. Implementation of the proposed project will impact the entire 5.3-acre
site. Refer to Figure 3.
2.0 Methodology
2.1 Literature Review
HES conducted a literature review and reviewed aerial photographs and topographic maps of the
project site and surrounding areas. A five-mile radius was used to identify sensitive species with
the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) Endangered Species Lists, and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) rare plant
lists to obtain species information for the project area. The CNDDB and USFWS critical habitat
databases were utilized, together with Geographic Information System (GIS) software, to locate
the previously recorded locations of sensitive plant and wildlife occurrences and designated
critical habitat and determine the distance from the project site.
2.2 Field Survey
On March 25, 2025, HES conducted a field survey of the project site. The ambient temperature
at 8:45 A.M. was 65 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny, with winds ranging from zero to three miles per
hour from the northwest. The purpose of the field survey was to document the existing habitat
conditions, obtain plant and animal species information, view the surrounding land uses, assess
the potential for state and federal waters, assess the potential for wildlife movement corridors,
and assess the presence of constituent elements for critical habitat, if present.

Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
Linear transects spaced approximately 50 to 100 feet apart were walked across the project site
for 100 percent coverage. All species observed were recorded. Global Positioning System (GPS)
waypoints were taken to delineate specific habitat types, species locations, state or federal
waters, and any other information that would be useful for the assessment of the project site. A
comprehensive list of all plant and wildlife species that were detected during the field survey
within the project site is included in Appendix A. Sensitive plant and wildlife species with the
potential to occur within the project area are listed in Appendix B. Representative site
photographs were taken and are included within Appendix C.
3.0 Existing Conditions and Result
3.1 Environmental Setting
The project site consists of vacant land that appears to be maintained for vegetation management
purposes. The site is relatively flat with onsite elevations ranging from 402 feet above mean sea-
level (AMSL) to 404 feet AMSL. The site is bordered on the west by Tokay Avenue and on the
east by Citrus Avenue. Surrounding land uses include residential development north, east, and
south and a school site to the west.
3.2 Soils
According to the USDA Web Soil Survey, soils at the project site are classified as Tujunga
gravelly loamy sand (TvC), 0 to 9 percent slopes (Appendix D).
3.3 Plant and Habitat Communities
The project site supports ruderal habitat. (Figure 4). Ruderal habitat is found in heavily
disturbed areas. This habitat type is dominated by non-native plant species with very few native
species. The ruderal habitat on site is dominated by Cheeseweed (Malva parviflora) and Great
brome (Bromus diandrus). Other plant species observed within this habitat type include Menzies’
fiddleneck (Amsinckia menziesii), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), telegraph weed (Heterotheca
grandiflora), Asian mustard (Sisymbrium orientale), and Red-stemmed filaree (Erodium
cicutarium).
3.4 Wildlife
General wildlife species documented on the site or within the vicinity of the site include the
American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), Song Sparrow
(Melospiza melodia), Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), House sparrow (Passer
domesticus), and Phainopepla (Phainopepla nitens). Refer to Appendix A for full list of species
observed during the field survey.

3.5 Regional Connectivity/Wildlife Movement
Wildlife movement corridors can be local or regional in scale; their functions may vary
temporally and spatially based on conditions and species present. Wildlife corridors represent
areas where wildlife movement is concentrated due to natural or anthropogenic constraints.
Local corridors provide access to resources such as food, water, and shelter. Animals use these
corridors, which are often hillsides or riparian areas, to move between different habitats.
Regional corridors provide these functions and link two or more large habitat areas. They
provide avenues for wildlife dispersal, migration, and contact between otherwise distinct
populations.
The project site is not located within a designated wildlife corridor or linkage. The project site
does not contain the topography or habitats typically utilized as wildlife corridors. The site is
surrounded by heavy urban uses. No wildlife movement corridors were found to be present on
the site.
3.6 Sensitive Biological Resources
According to the CNDDB, a total of 57 sensitive species of plants, 7 sensitive habitats, and 61
sensitive species of animals have the potential to occur on or within the vicinity of the project
area. These include those species listed or candidates for listing by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and California Native
Plant Society (CNPS). All habitats with the potential to be used by sensitive species were
evaluated during the site visit and a determination has been made for the presence or probability
of presence within this report. No sensitive habitats were found on site. This section will address
those species listed as Candidate, Rare, Threatened, or Endangered under the state and federal
endangered species laws. Sensitive species which have a potential to occur will also be discussed

The proposed project is not located within or adjacent to any federal critical habitat. No impacts
to designated federal critical habitat are expected.
4.5 Impacts to Wildlife Movement Corridors
No wildlife movement corridors were found to be present on the project site. No impacts are
expected.
4.6 Conflict with Local Policies or Ordinances Protecting Biological Resources
The City’s Municipal Code has a provision to protect heritage, significant, and specimen trees
and requires a permit to remove or relocate these trees, and planting of replacement trees or a
cash-in-lieu fee compensation for any protected tree removed. The following species are defined
as Significant trees by Ordinance 1126: Juglana californica, Quercus agrifollia, Cedrus deodora,
Plantanus racemosa, Plantanus acerifolia. According to Sec. 28-67 “The staff shall determine
which trees shall be considered as specimen trees and/or in conjunction with an excellent rating
by a certified arborist.” The trees located on site are ornamental and include lemon tree (Citrus
sp.), white lead tree (Leucaena leucocephala), and Manilla tamarind (Pithocellobium dulce).
None of the onsite trees are considered heritage, significant, or specimen trees. Therefore, the
project is not anticipated to conflict with a local policy or ordinance.
4.7 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 would not be anticipated to conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or
state habitat conservation plan.
4.8 State and Federal Drainages
The project site does not contain any state or federal drainages, therefore no impacts to any

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
