A Phase I Cultural Resources Survey for the MorningStar Marguerite Project __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION In response to a requirement by the City of Mission Viejo for the environmental assessment of a proposed senior living facility, Brian F. Smith and Associates, Inc. (BFSA) conducted an archaeological study of the MorningStar Marguerite Project located within the City of Mission Viejo. The proposed 2.92-acre property is located northeast of the intersection of Avery Parkway and Marguerite Parkway in the city of Mission Viejo, Orange County, within Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 740-012-21. Specifically, the property is located within the Mission Viejo/La Paz Land Grant (Section 24, Township 7 South, Range 8 West, projected) in the USGS 7.5-minute San Juan Capistrano, California topographic quadrangle (Attachment B). Currently, the subject property is mostly developed, containing a commercial structure and asphalt parking lot, with a landscaped engineered fill slope on the eastern portion of the project. As proposed, the project will include the redevelopment of the parcel to include the construction of a three-story, 132-unit senior living facility with amenities for assisted living, a memory care unit, and subterranean parking, as well as landscaping and associated infrastructure. This archaeological study consisted of an archaeological records search and literature review of conducted at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). An archaeological survey was not conducted for the property as it is fully developed with limited to no visibility of the natural ground surface. As part of this study, a copy of this report will be submitted to the SCCIC at CSUF. All investigations conducted by BFSA related to this project conformed to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City of Mission Viejo environmental guidelines. II. SETTING Natural Environment Mission Viejo is situated within the Peninsular Ranges Geologic Province of southern California. The range, which lies in a northwest to southeast trend through the county, extends around 1,000 miles from the Raymond-Malibu Fault Zone in western Los Angeles County to the southern tip of Baja California. The property is just over six miles from the Pacific Ocean and situated at the base of the eastern foothills that separate Oso Creek to the west and Trabuco Canyon to the east. As such, most of the subject property is relatively flat with elevations averaging around 250 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) except for an embankment along the western boundary of the property were the elevation exceeds 300 feet AMSL. The property is characterized as developed containing a commercial structure and hardscape. Soils in the project are comprised of Bosanko clay, 30 to 50 percent slopes (128) and Capistrano sandy loam, 2 to 9 percent slopes (135) (SoilWeb 2019). It should be noted that artificial fill exists to various depths (between three and 15 feet) across the project site. Currently, the property is almost devoid of all vegetation except for maintained lawns and planters located 1 A Phase I Cultural Resources Survey for the MorningStar Marguerite Project __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ within the asphalt parking lot areas and the sparsely vegetated embankment containing large eucalyptus trees located along the eastern boundary of the parcel. Although the property does not contain any natural water sources, it is located near multiple including Oso Creek just over a quarter-mile west, Trabuco Creek is approximately a half-mile east, Sulphur Creek is just under three quarters of a mile to the northwest, and Aliso Creek is approximately three miles to the west. During the prehistoric period, vegetation near the project area provided sufficient food resources to support prehistoric human occupants. Animals that inhabited the project area during prehistoric times included mammals such as rabbits, squirrels, gophers, mice, rats, deer, and coyotes, in addition to a variety of reptiles and amphibians. The natural setting of the project area during the prehistoric occupation offered a rich nutritional resource base. Fresh water was likely obtainable on a year-round basis from Aliso, Oso, Trabuco, and Sulphur creeks. Further, shellfish and other ocean resources could be easily exploited by following the many canyon and creek alignments west to the ocean. Historically, the property area likely contained the same plant and animal species that are present in the area today. Cultural Setting Archaeological investigations in southern California have documented a diverse and rich record of human occupation spanning the past 10,000 years. In northern San Diego, Orange, and Riverside Counties, most researchers organize prehistory into the Paleo Indian, Archaic, and Late Prehistoric Periods and history into the Mission, Rancho, and American Settlement Periods. The San Dieguito Complex, Millingstone Horizon, La Jolla Complex, Pauma Complex, and San Luis Rey Complex are archaeological manifestations that have been used to describe the Archaic and Late Prehistoric periods in the region. Paleo Indian Period (Late Pleistocene: 11,500 to circa 9,000 YBP) The San Dieguito Complex/Paleo Indian Period is associated with the terminus of the late Pleistocene (11,500 to 9,000 YBP). The term “San Dieguito Complex” is a cultural distinction used to describe a group of people that occupied sites in the region between 11,500 and 7,000 YBP. Initially believed to have been big game hunters, the San Dieguito are better typified as wide-ranging hunter-gatherers. The earliest evidence of the San Dieguito Complex sites are known from San Diego County, the Colorado Desert, and further north along the California coast. These people abandoned the drying inland lakes of the present California desert and arrived in San Diego County circa 9,000 years before present (YBP), as documented at the Harris Site SDI-149 (Warren 1966); Rancho Park North Site SDI-4392 (Kaldenberg 1982); and Agua Hedionda Sites SDI-210/UCLJ-M-15 and SDI-10,965/SDM-W-131 (Moriarty 1967; Gallegos and Carrico 1984; Gallegos 1991). A San Dieguito component appears to have been present in the lower strata, “Malaga Cove I,” at the Malaga Cove site, LAN-138, within the city of Palos Verdes Estates, Los Angeles County (Walker 1951). Other Paleo-Indian Period sites containing San Dieguito components in the coastal region of southern California have been identified at the Irvine Site 2 A Phase I Cultural Resources Survey for the MorningStar Marguerite Project __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (ORA-64) (Drover et al. 1983; Macko 1988), Ballona Creek, Angeles Mesa, and the Rancho La Brea sites (Wallace 1955: 215-218). Diagnostic San Dieguito artifacts include finely crafted scraper planes, choppers, scrapers, crescentics, elongated bifacial knives, and intricate leaf-shaped points (Rogers 1939; Warren 1967). This tool assemblage resembles those of the Western Lithic Co-Tradition (Davis et al. 1969) and the Western Pluvial Lakes Tradition (Bedwell 1970; Moratto 1984). Typical San Dieguito sites lack ground stone tools. The San Dieguito Complex is the least understood of the cultures that occupied the southern California region. Debate continues as to whether the San Dieguito sites are actually different activity areas of the early Encinitas Tradition peoples (Bull 1987; Gallegos 1987), or whether the San Dieguito Complex peoples had a separate origin and culture from the Encinitas Tradition (Hayden 1987; Moriarty 1987; Smith 1987). According to this second scenario, the San Dieguito Complex peoples may have been assimilated into the dominant Encinitas Tradition culture

Timothy Gross (May 2009) and the addendum to that report, prepared by Mary Robbins-Wade of HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) in January 2015. This letter report was prepared in response to a request from City of San Diego (City) staff that an archaeologist and a Native American monitor assess the current condition of the cultural resources within the project site. The proposed project design has not changed since the 2009 submittal. Site conditions within the project footprint have not changed, and the proposed data recovery plan is still adequate to mitigate potential project impacts, as described below. BACKGROUND The Roselle Street project (project) is located within the significant archaeological and cultural resource site known as Ystagua (CA-SDI-4609). The property is located on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley, in the City of San Diego, in western San Diego County. The parcel is on the alluvial flats along Carroll Canyon Creek in Soledad Canyon, at the end of Roselle Street, although some of the steep valley wall is included in the eastern portion of the property, as well. On July 23, 2009, the project property was designated by the City’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) as HRB Site #924, Village of Ystagua Area #1.

  • LWHC Once Upon Laguna Woods
    Once Upon Laguna Woods by Dean O. Dixon Once upon a time in a magical land there were fiery volcanos, roiling seas, and fearsome animals. Then came warriors, conquerors, banishment, empires, slaves, wars, pirates, corruption, bandits, posses, lynching, ghosts, invasion, exploitation, riches, scandal and, yes, even happily ever after. Fiction? No. These are true stories about the land right under your feet in and around Laguna Woods. So what did happen once upon Laguna Woods? Well, are you up for some time travel? The beloved natural vistas from Laguna Woods reflect decades of conservation efforts that preserved tens of thousands of pristine acres from any future human development. You get to enjoy this in perpetuity without it ever being disturbed. Woods End Wilderness Preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, Laguna Niguel Regional Park, and City of Irvine Open Space Preserve are contiguous in a synergistic display of your natural history. But what exactly do you see? Once Upon Laguna Woods February 27, 2016 page !2 of !60 Natural erosion has exposed up to 65 million years of rock strata laid down and compressed one layer atop another by eons of changes in the earth’s crust as influenced by climate, flora and fauna. Sand from deserts and beaches, mud from swamps and rivers, skeletons of sea and land creatures, recurrences of these, and still more are solidified and revealed like layers in a slice of cake for the delight of geologists and further study by anyone so inclined. Related tectonics further changed and are changing your area even today as the Atlantic Plate pushes the North American Plate westward into the Pacific Plate along that constant worry of yours, the San Andreas Fault.

  • Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex
    Appendix J Cultural Setting - Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex Appendix J: Cultural Setting - Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex The following sections describe the cultural setting in and around the two refuges that constitute the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex (NWRC) - Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR and Coachella Valley NWR. The cultural resources associated with these Refuges may include archaeological and historic sites, buildings, structures, and/or objects. Both the Imperial Valley and the Coachella Valley contain rich archaeological records. Some portions of the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWRC have previously been inventoried for cultural resources, while substantial additional areas have not yet been examined. Seventy-seven prehistoric and historic sites, features, or isolated finds have been documented on or within a 0.5- mile buffer of the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR and Coachella Valley NWR. Cultural History The outline of Colorado Desert culture history largely follows a summary by Jerry Schaefer (2006). It is founded on the pioneering work of Malcolm J. Rogers in many parts of the Colorado and Sonoran deserts (Rogers 1939, Rogers 1945, Rogers 1966). Since then, several overviews and syntheses have been prepared, with each succeeding effort drawing on the previous studies and adding new data and interpretations (Crabtree 1981, Schaefer 1994a, Schaefer and Laylander 2007, Wallace 1962, Warren 1984, Wilke 1976). The information presented here was compiled by ASM Affiliates in 2009 for the Service as part of Cultural Resources Review for the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWRC. Four successive periods, each with distinctive cultural patterns, may be defined for the prehistoric Colorado Desert, extending back in time over a period of at least 12,000 years.

  • Chapter 4.4: Cultural Resources
    4.0 Environmental Analysis 4.4 Cultural Resources 4.4 Cultural Resources This section addresses the Housing Element Update (HEU) in relation to potential impacts associated with historic structures, archaeological resources, and paleontological resources. Information presented in this section was obtained from the Final Existing Conditions Report, the Encinitas Register of Historic Places, the geological map of the Oceanside 30 feet x 60 feet quadrangle Paleontological Resources - County of San Diego, and additional secondary source documentation, as available (City of Encinitas 2010, 2015a; State of California 2010; and Deméré and Walsh 1994). 4.4.1 Existing Conditions 4.4.1.1 Cultural Setting a. Prehistoric Period The prehistoric cultural sequence in San Diego County is generally conceived as comprising three basic periods: the Paleoindian, dated between about 11,500 and 8,500 years ago and manifested by the artifacts of the San Dieguito Complex; the Archaic, lasting from about 8,500 to 1,500 years ago (A.D. 500) and manifested by the cobble and core technology of the La Jollan Complex; and the Late Prehistoric, lasting from about 1,500 years ago to historic contact (i.e., A.D. 500 to 1769) and represented by the Cuyamaca Complex. The Paleoindian Period in San Diego County is most closely associated with the San Dieguito Complex. The San Dieguito assemblage consists of well-made scraper planes, choppers, scraping tools, crescentics, elongated bifacial knives, and leaf-shaped points. The San Dieguito Complex is thought to represent an early emphasis on hunting. The Archaic Period brings an apparent shift toward a more generalized economy and an increased emphasis on seed resources, small game, and shellfish.
