The entire subject Parcel is currently fallow. Irrigation water probably was supplied by the Banta Carbona Irrigation District for flood irrigation prior to the 1980s. There is what appears to be a small irrigation standpipe near the southwest corner of the property. There are no domestic and/or irrigation wells on the property. The proposed land use is applicable for the zoning of Rural Residential (R/R). § 1.2 As referenced, a description of proposed development is to create two Parcels from an existing 4.52 acre Parcel, through a Minor Subdivision. There is no proposal to construct any improvements to the subject property(e.g., aboveground structures, subsurface structures, water wells, etc.) at this immediate point in time. This may change in the future. The Tentative Map has been completed by the engineering firm of Schack& Company. The subject property is near a predominately agricultural region southeast of the City of Tracy. Surrounding residential structures are relatively new(constructed within the last 20 years). The nearest industry is the Triple E Produce Company directly southwest of the property and the Tracy Defense Depot, located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the property. Both of these properties had contamination issues in the past. Environmental conditions and operations that presently occur, or may take place on the property in the future, must be in compliance with applicable Codes and Regulations of the County, State and Federal governments. § 1.3/The Parcel Viewer location map denoting the location of the subject property is found in Appendix A. § 1.4 A Google aerial view map also shows the location of the property and the fact there are no on-site structures. There are no electrical transformers located on the subject property; however,there is a transformer adjacent to Linne Road. There is an electrical easement at the north end of the property with no transformers. A large concrete block that shows extreme Spalding exists on the property as evidenced in the photo found in Appendix E. The purpose of this block is unknown and Mr. Birla purchased the property with this existing concrete block. There are no ponds or other water containment structures on the property. Attached photos show the actual property and surrounding properties. Stormwater management for any future development of the property can most likely be managed on-site. § 2.0 PAST, PRESENT AND PROPOSED FUTURE USES OF THE SITE § 2.1 ,Past uses of the property have been exclusively as agricultural production land: dryland farming, and then row crops with the advent of irrigation water. Anticipated future use of the property will be as rural residential, with one residential structure built on each new parcel. Past agricultural activities around the property may have contributed nitrate to the underlying water aquifers. Since there is no on-site domestic well, underlying nitrate concentrations cannot be determined for the upcoming Soil Suitability Study. Present and future agricultural activities on nearby properties and in surrounding areas may contribute potential environmental concerns; however,this may be said of any agricultural operations. The property has not been under conventional cultivation; therefore, no pesticides, herbicides, and/or fertilizers have been applied. Page -3-
