Exactly what resources exist which could relieve him of this

The AIM, for one.

Where in the AIM? I don't think this issue would be clarified without the
use of common sense (i.e., reading the entire chart in context...profile
and plan views) or a good reading of both the NACO and Jeppesen approach
chart legends.

5-4-8 a.1. ... However, the point at which the turn may be commenced and
the type and rate of turn is left to the discretion of the pilot.

These types of issues get discussed in many places from time to time, as
well as in various publications. This very issue was the topic of a long
discussion on another aviation news group a few years ago. It was also a
California approach, but not this one.

Relief of misconceptions does not occur without a willingness to learn,
however.
