However, the site is currently unoccupied. Site facilities include an auto showroom, a sales office, and service bays. Locations of these facilities and other pertinent site features are shown on the Site Plan (Figure 2). 2.2 Site Vicinity and Local Land Use Since the settlement of the Central Valley during the 1800s, most of the land around Tracy has been used for agricultural purposes. With the post-World War Il development boom, much of the town of Tracy has been developed for industrial, commercial, and residential use (U.S. Geological Survey, 1980). Prior to the construction of the Interstate Highway 205 freeway, located approximately 7,500 feet northwest of the site, 11th Street was the former s s route of Highway 205 and the main east-west roadway through the town of Tracy. Most of the area around the site has been recently developed for residential purposes, however, many of the properties along 11 th Street are zoned for commercial purposes. The nearest buildings to the site are residential buildings located approximately 10 feet to the north of the site property, with other residential developments located to the northwest and northeast, and to the southwest across 1 lth Street. Commercial buildings are located to the east of the site in the Lincoln West shopping center and to the southeast across 11 th Street in the West Gate Plaza shopping center. A commercial / residential building housing a realty business is located to the south of the site across 11th Street. A city street (11th Street) is located directly south of the property. Subsurface utilities include sewer and water lines located beneath the roadway in 11th Street. The western property boundary is located adjacent to the Southern Pacific railroad tracks, and the site property is approximately 0.2-mile north of the Lower Main Canal. Additional subsurface utilities may be present within these easement paths. 3001-21.cap 3 HORIZON ENVIRONMENTAL INC.
