2.1 Zoninn <br />The San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org) states that the Site is zoned <br />AL -5, Limited Agriculture with a minimum parcel size of five acres. This zoning <br />designation "is intended to recognize and preserve areas that contain existing <br />concentrations of small-scale agricultural operations and dwellings." <br />2.2 Proposed Development <br />A minor subdivision is proposed to separate the Site into four new parcels 4.5 to <br />4.65 acres in size (Plate 3). <br />2.3 Topography <br />A recent U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 -minute topographic map was obtained from <br />the San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the map, the Site is depicted at <br />approximately 85 feet above mean sea level. This map is included as Plate 4. <br />3.0 HISTORICAL RESEARCH <br />3.1 Aerial Photographs <br />Live Oak reviewed aerial photographs of the Site provided by the San Joaquin <br />County Surveyor's Office in Stockton, California. The available photographs <br />were dated 1937, 1952, 1963, and 1975. Four additional photographs, dated <br />1993, 2003, 2010, and 2021 were obtained from Google Earth. <br />In the 1937 photo, one structure and a few large trees can be seen near the <br />center of the Site. The northern portion of the Site appears to be open land, <br />while the southern portion is orchard. The surrounding properties are open land, <br />orchard, and vineyard. <br />In the 1952 photo, several additional small structures can be seen near the <br />center of the Site. The remainder of the Site appears to be irrigated pasture; the <br />orchard has been removed. A new structure can be seen on the adjacent <br />property to the west. <br />In the 1963 photo, the original structure is no longer visible on the Site, though it <br />may still be present but obscured by a large tree. No other significant changes <br />are apparent. <br />The scale of the 1975 photo is such that site-specific features cannot be <br />identified. Several new residences can be seen to the south of the Site. <br />LOGE 2152 2 <br />
