• 2.1 Zoning The San Joaquin County Community Development Department web site states that the Site is zoned AG-80, general agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 80 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 three new parcels (Plate 5). Mr. Marchini 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 zero to four feet above mean sea level. Grant Line Canal is depicted along the southern property line. This map is included as Plate 6 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, March 2005, June 2006, 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 northern portion of the Site appears to be open, pasture land. Two small creeks are present along the eastern side of the Site. At least four structures are present at the central building cluster; a small orchard can be seen to the south of this area. The southern portion of the Site appears to be planted with row crops. The surrounding properties are primarily open, pasture land. In the 1952 photo, the northern half of the Site has been divided into fields and appears to be planted with row crops. Field roads bound the Site, and the small creeks on the east side are no longer apparent. Nine or more structures can now be seen at the central building cluster. The orchard to the south of the building cluster has been removed, but a small patch of orchard exists to the east of the structures. Three or more structures can be seen in a cluster at the southeast • corner of the Site. LOGE 1522 2
