2.1 Zoning The San Joaquin County District Viewer 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 agriculture enterprises." 2.2 Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into a homesite parcel and a designated remainder. According to Mr. Chiu, the uses of the land will remain unchanged after the subdivision (personal communication, April 10, 2020). 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 five feet above mean sea level. Six structures labeled "Saunders," a driveway, and an orchard are depicted on the Site. This map is included as Plate 4. 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 1937, 1940, 1952, 1963, and 1975. Additional photographs dated 1993, 2002, and 2014 were obtained from Google Earth. In the 1937 photo, the Site appears to be irrigated agricultural land crossed by an irrigation canal. A cluster of four or more buildings can be seen at the southeast corner of the Site. A small patch of orchard surrounds the buildings. A driveway extends west across the Site from the building cluster. The San Joaquin River defines the Site's eastern property line. The western property line is defined by Roberts Road. The surrounding properties appear to be agricultural land with a few small farms or rural residences. In the 1940 photo, the building cluster on the Site can be seen in greater detail; an additional two structures are visible. No other significant changes are apparent. In the 1952 photo, no significant changes are apparent. LOGE 20-16 2
