• 2..1 Zoning The San Joaquin County Community Development Department web site states that the Site is zoned AG-40, general agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. This zoning designation "is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of commercial agricultural enterprises." 2.2 Proposed_Development A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into a two-acre homesite parcel and a designated remainder. Mr. Dambacher indicated that no changes to the use of the Site are planned. 2.3 Topography A recent U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic map was obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the map, the Site is depicted as flat land located at approximately 10 feet above mean sea level. The Mokelumne River is depicted along the eastern property line. This map is included as Plate 4 in Appendix 1. • 3.0 HISTORICAL RESEARCH 3.1 Aerial Photographs Live Oak reviewed aerial photographs of the Site provided by the San Joaquin County Surveyor's Office in Stockton, California. The available photographs were dated 1940, 1952, 1963, and 1975. Four additional photographs, dated October 1998, May 2004, and July 2010, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. These photos are included as Appendix 3 of this report. In the 1940 photo, the Site appears to be open, agricultural land. At the southeast corner of the Site, a driveway leads from New Hope Road into a cluster of trees. The Mokelumne River defines the eastern side of the Site, and Western Pacific Railroad tracks define the western side. The surrounding properties appear to be agricultural land and rural residences. In the 1952 photo, a structure can be seen south of the cluster of trees on the Site. Northwest of this, a pump house can be seen extending into the river. In the 1963 photo, no significant changes are apparent. In the 1975 photo, two additional structures can be seen within the cluster of • trees. LOGE 1521 2
