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 agriculture enterprises." 2.2 Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into three parcels. Gerard Warmerdam, owner of the Site, indicated that he is splitting the land so that it can be shared with his children. Two new homes will be built on the Site after the parcel split, but the other uses of the land will remain unchanged (personal communication, August 27, 2019). 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 slightly hilly land located at approximately 110 to 120 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. Additional photographs dated 1993, 2003, 2007, and 2014 were obtained from Google Earth. In the 1937 photo, the Site appears to be primarily dry-farmed land crossed by a dry creek. A barn and a smaller structure can be seen near the creek; haystacks can be seen nearby. The portion of the Site south of the barn appears to be a vineyard. The surrounding properties appear to be pasture or dry-farmed land. In the 1952 photo, three new structures can be seen in the area near the barn. The vineyard can no longer be seen, but two portions of the Site now appear to be irrigated pasture. A vineyard can be seen on one of the adjacent properties to the west. In the 1963 photo, three new structures (or haystacks) can be seen to the north of the barn. Several round objects which could be fertilizer tanks can be seen near one of the other structures. More of the Site is now irrigated, and a small LOGE 1940 2
