The Project site is located at 1030–1380 North Broadway and 1251 North Spring Street, within the vicinity of the Chinatown neighborhood, downtown Los Angeles, Lincoln Heights, and Dodger Stadium/Elysian Park. The analysis was conducted in support of the Initial Study (IS) for the project to determine if additional studies or analysis are necessary. Methodology A review of existing information and a site visit was conducted to determine the biological resources that are present or have potential to occur on and adjacent to the project site. Literature Review A literature review was conducted prior to the field visit to identify special-status biological resources present or potentially present within the vicinity of the project site using the following: • California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (CDFW 2020a) • California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants (CNPS 2020) • U.S.

    Big-picture, evolutionary view of trees and shrubs (and a few of my favorite herbaceous perennials), ver. 2007-11-04 Descriptions of the trees and shrubs taken (stolen!!!) from online sources, from my own observations in and around Greenwood Lake, NY, and from these books: • Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs, Michael A.

(I’m not sure if this is true for the rosids and asterids, starting on page 30. I just listed them in the same order as Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II.) This document started out as my personal landscaping plan and morphed into something almost unwieldy and phantasmagorical. Key to symbols and colored text: Checkboxes indicate species and/or cultivars that I want. Checkmarks indicate those that I have (or that one of my neighbors has). Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.
