2.1 Zoning The San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org) states that the Site is zoned AL-10, Limited Agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 10 acres. This zoning designation "is intended to recognize and preserve areas that contain existing concentrations of small-scale agricultural operations and dwellings" (San Joaquin County Community Development Department). 2.2 Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to separate the Site into four new parcels (Plate 3). Mr. Caton indicated that he has no plans to change the future use of the Site (personal communication, November 10, 2020). 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 at approximately 115 to 120 feet above mean sea level. This map is included as Plate 4. 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, 1975, and 1983. Three additional photographs, dated October 1998, July 2010, and May 2018 were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the 1937 photo, the majority of the Site appears to be irrigated agricultural land; the western quarter does not appear to be irrigated. The adjoining properties appear to be irrigated agricultural land, orchard, and vineyard. In the 1952 photo, the entire Site appears to be irrigated. No other significant changes are apparent. In the 1963 photo, the Site and many surrounding properties appear to be used for growing rice. No other significant changes are apparent. In the 1975 photo, the Site and many surrounding properties appear to be irrigated agricultural land. No other significant changes are apparent. LOGE 20-53 2
