The property fronts on the eas,l; side of Bay Avenue approximately 0.8 mile north of Shasta Avenue, The site is relatively level .Land consisting of rfavwell clay adobe and Anita clay loam soils and is a port-ion of the areawide orchard. Residences exist all along the Bay Avenue frontage, with orchards behind to the west and to the -east. The surrounding area was rezoned to SR-1, Suburban Residential --1 acre minimum parcels on January 2, 1979. The property lies within a drainage district, SUDAD lies east of (Bay Avenue) Oussick Avenue. R'atural infiltration of -ainfall inti these soils is generally poor. Water will be provided by individual wells. This project will be thel, last allowable division of the property under curront SR-1. zoning: Development of the two parcels being created will not generate significant impacts of itself.
