2.1 Zoning The San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org) states that the Site is zoned AU -20, Agriculture -Urban Reserve with a minimum parcel size of 20 acres. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department states that this zoning designation "is intended to retain in agriculture those areas planned for future urban development in order to facilitate compact, orderly growth and to assure the proper timing and economical provision of services and utilities." 2.2 Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to separate the Site into nine, approximately two -acre parcels for residential development. 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 39 to 40 feet above mean sea level. This map is included as Plate 3. 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, 1952, 1963, and 1975. Four additional photographs, dated 1993, 2003, 2014, and 2018 were obtained from Google Earth. In the 1937 photo, two large structures and several smaller structures or objects are located near the northeast corner of the Site corner of the Site. Approximately half the Site appears to be orchard, while the remaining half appears uncultivated. An irrigation canal crosses the southern third of the Site, a canal runs along the southern property line, and a third canal runs along the northern half of the western property line of the Site. The surrounding properties appear to be orchards, irrigated pasture, rural residences, and uncultivated land. In the 1952 photo, five or more structures can be seen near the northeast corner of the Site. The orchard has been removed from the Site, which now appears to be irrigated pasture. In the 1963 photo, the irrigation canals on and around the Site are no longer visible. No other significant changes are apparent. LOGE 2216 2
