The property is covered with grass and sparse shrub brush but appears to have previously been surfaced with gravel. Although the site has been vacant since at least 1968, the property was historically used as a temporary parking area for trucks. 2.2 SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The subject property is situated near the western edge of a large vacant plot of land. A Shell gasoline station is located approximately 50 feet to the west, while Tracy Gas and an auto dealership are located approximately 200 to 600 feet upgradient of the site to the southwest. Property to the south of the site across Grand Line Road is used for agricultural purposes. Interstate freeway I-205 is located immediately to the north. The area to the southwest beyond Tracy Gas and the auto dealership is also used for agriculture. Land north of the freeway is presently vacant in the vicinity of the site, while property to the south and east is primarily residential in use(refer to Figure 2, Schematic Plot Plan). 2.3 GEOLOGIC SETTING 2.3.1 Regional Physiographic Conditions The subject property is located in the San Joaquin River Region of the Central Valley of California.
