2.1 Zoning The San Joaquin County District Viewer (simap.org) states that the Site is zoned AG -40, General Agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department states that 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 separate the Site into three new numbered parcels and a designated remainder. 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 at approximately 50 feet above mean sea level. The land is relatively flat. Two structures are depicted on the west side of 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. Six additional photographs, dated 1993, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2016, and 2018 were obtained from Google Earth. In the 1937 photo, the Site consists of a number of smaller fields; most appear to be irrigated pasture or orchard. An irrigation canal crosses the Site. Two or more structures and a small landscaped area can be seen south of the canal on the west side of the Site, and a large barn can be seen just to the north of the canal. The adjacent land to the north appears to be vineyard. To the west is an irrigation canal, followed by three building clusters, vineyard, and pasture. To the south is a building cluster and crop or pasture land. To the east are orchards and pasture land. In the 1952 photo, the majority of the Site has been planted with orchard. An area at the north has been planted with vineyard, and an area at the south appears to be open land or pasture. It appears that some earthmoving activity has taken place near the southwest corner of the Site. Some adjacent properties LOGE 2232 2
