Architectural History Inventory and Evaluation Report for the San Bernardino City Unified School District Parent Center and District Police Headquarters Project. - Prepared for Placeworks, Santa Ana, California. Architectural History Inventory and Evaluation Report for the SBCUSD Parent Center and District Police Headquarters Project MANAGEMENT SUMMARY In 2018, ECORP Consulting, Inc. was retained to conduct an architectural history inventory and evaluation for the proposed Parent Center and District Police Headquarters Project (Project). San Bernardino City Unified School District proposes the construction of a new, 19,020-square-foot Centralized Services & Resource Center, a new 15,772-square-foot District Police Headquarters, and construction of four new parking lots. Construction of the new buildings and parking lots would require the removal of a surface parking lot, relocation of five portable buildings, and the demolition of two permanent buildings and one canopy structure. The inventory and evaluation included a records search, literature review, archival research, and field visit. The records search results indicated that one previous cultural resources study had been conducted within the Project area in 2000, and 82 investigations have occurred within a one-mile radius of the Project area between 1979 and 2014. The records search also revealed that one previously recorded historic-period resource, the Church of Christ, Scientist building (P36-017740), was located within the Project area, and more than 700 previously recorded resources are located within a one-mile radius of the Project Area. The majority of these are built environment resources consisting of historic-age buildings including houses, churches, and commercial structures, many of which are spread throughout five proposed local historic districts: the Norton and Hey Bennett Historic District, the Arrowhead Avenue Historic District, the 11th/Orange Streets Historic District, the East Olive Street Historic District, and the Walnut Park Historic District. As a result of the field visit, the previously recorded church building was updated (P36-017740), and one newly identified historic-period building, the Town Lodge Motel, was recorded. The Town Lodge Motel was evaluated using California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility criteria, and City of San Bernardino criteria for local historical significance. The Town Lodge Motel was found not eligible for inclusion in the CRHR and was evaluated as not meeting any criteria for local historical significance. The church building (P36-017740) was evaluated using CRHR eligibility criteria and was found to be not eligible for listing in the CRHR under any criteria. An evaluation using City of San Bernardino criteria for local historical significance confirmed the previous finding that the building meets criteria for local historical significance. As the building was found to be historically significant under local criteria, it is considered a Historical Resource as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act and the proposed Project will result in impacts to a Historical Resource.
