2.1 Zoning The San Joaquin County Community Development Department web site states that the Site is zoned AG-40, general agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. This zoning designation "is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of commercial agricultural enterprises." 2.2 Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into a homesite parcel and a designated remainder. Ms. Van Groningen indicated that no changes to the use of the Site are planned. 23 _ 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 open, relatively flat land located at approximately 52 to 53 feet above mean sea level. The surrounding properties are also depicted as open land. Lone Tree Creek is shown approximately one-quarter mile north of the Site. This map is included as Plate 4 in Appendix 1. 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 October 1998, May 2004, June 2006, and June 2014, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. These photos are included as Appendix 3 of this report. In the 1937 photo, the Site and surrounding properties appear to be natural, undeveloped land. In the 1952 photo, an irrigation canal can be seen on the east side of the Site, and the land to the east appears to be used for irrigated agriculture. Several rural residences can be seen along Lone Tree Road and Jack Tone Road. In the 1963 photo, the adjacent properties to the west and south are being utilized for irrigated agriculture. In the 1975 photo, it appears that the Site is being utilized for agriculture. LOGE 1510 2
