ZONING CASE NO. 332
FINDINGS AND REPORT
The application of Mr. & Mrs. John Provine, Lot 44-RH, Rolling
Hilts Tract, for a Variance under Section 17.32.010 of the
City of Rolling Hills Municipal Code, came for hearing on the
16th day of September 1986 and the 21st day of October 1986 in the
Council Chambers of the Administration Building, 2 Portuguese Bend
Road, Rolling Hills, California. The Planning Commission, after
being appropriately advised by staff, and hearing public testimony,
now makes its Findings and Report as required by the Municipal Code
of the City of Rolling Hills, California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicants, Mr. & Mrs. John
Provine, are the owners of that certain real property described as
Lot 44-RH, located at 2 Williamsburg Lane in the City of Rolling
Hills, and that notice of the public hearing in connection with said
application was given as required by Section 17.32.080 of the
Municipal Code of the City of Rolling Hills, California. The
Commission finds,further, that no comment, written or verbal, was
received in opposition to the request. Further, the Commission
made an on -site, field investigation, on October 4, 1986.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicants have requested a
Variance from Section 17.16.070 side yard requirements and
Section 17.16.060 minimum front yard setback requirements.
The applicants have requested a 5 foot encroachment into the
sideyard setback requirement of 20 feet, which leaves a 15
foot sideyard setback, on the northside of said property.
The applicants have requested a 2 foot encroachment into the
minimum front yard setback of 50 feet which would leave a 48 foot
front yard setback. The applicants indicate that the addition
ti •
to the existing residence is most logically expanded within
the established building pad area; to do otherwise could be
detrimental to the environment. Therefore, the applicants
request the granting of the Variance so that they may have the
same rights to property as others in the same vicinity
and zone, which would otherwise be denied if they
were not able to fully utilize the existing building pad
area. The Commission finds that there are significant topograph-
ical and physical conditions which exist on the property, which im-
pinge upon the applicant's ability to fully utilize their property,
without damaging the environment. The Commission finds that a
Variance should be granted in order to preserve substantial property
rights in the same vicinity and zone, and that the granting of such
Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare,
not injurious to property in the same vicinity and zone.
III.
From the foregoing, it is concluded that a Variance should be
granted to Mr. & Mrs. John Provine, Lot 44-RH, 2 Williamsburg Lane,
under Section 17.32.010 of the City of Rolling Hills Municipal Code
for a Variance from Section 17.16.070, side yard requirements and
Section 17.16.060 minimum front yard requirements subject to the
following conditions: 1) The side yard encroachment (north property
line) not exceed 5 feet; 2) The front yard encroachment not exceed 2
feet; 3) The landscaping plan be approved by the Planning
Commission; and, a bond in the amount of estimate for the cost of
landscaping, plus 15%, be posted, which bond shall be held for not
less than two years after installation of landscaping. It is,
therefore, so ordered that Zoning Case No. 332 is approved.
