Copies of the Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration were not available when I went to the San Joaquin County Community Development Department on June 25,2018. I was able to obtain a copy of the Application for Minor Subdivision that was prepared for Raiser Ranch,LLC and signed by one of the property's legal owner Kiran Preet Nijjar.
