A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR THE ENCROACHMENT OF A
MASTER BEDROOM ADDITION INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, GRANTING
A VARIANCE FOR THE ENCLOSURE OF AN EXISTING BREEZEWAY THAT
ENCROACHES INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, AND GRANTING SITE PLAN
REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS
TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 492.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Inman with respect to real property located at 9
Williamsburg Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 27-RH) requesting a Variance
to allow the encroachment of a master bedroom addition into the
front yard setback, requesting a Variance to allow the enclosure of
an existing breezeway that encroaches into the front yard setback,
and a request for Site Plan Review to permit substantial additions
to an existing single family residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the applications for Variances into
allowable setbacks and Site Plan Review approval on March 16, 1993
and April 27, 1993 and at a field trip visit on April 17, 1993.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project is
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 3.exemption provided
by Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Section 4. Sections 17.32.010 through 17.32.030 permit
approval of a Variance from the standards and requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a
parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar
properties. A Variance to Section 17.16.060 is required to permit
the encroachment of a master bedroom addition fourteen (14) feet
within the fifty (50) foot required front yard setback.
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances
and conditions applicable to the property and the existing use that
do not apply generally to the other property in the same vicinity
and zone. The Variance is necessary because there exists
topographical constraints that justify the encroachment, in that
there is not sufficient flat area in the rear of the lot to
accommodate the development and grading will be minimized if the
addition is oriented closer to the front of the lot and does not
encroach further than the existing structure.
93. 1.'71939'7
RESOLUTION NO. 93-19
PAGE 2
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other
property in the same vicinity and zone, but which is denied the
subject property. The amount of encroachment into the front yard
setback is similar to the amount of encroachment existing on other
neighboring properties along Williamsburg Lane.
C. Granting this Variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is
located. Permitting the encroachment will allow a substantial
portion of the lot to remain undeveloped.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Variance to allow a master bedroom
addition to the existing residence to encroach into the front yard
setback to a maximum of 14 feet as indicated on the Development
Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A subject to the conditions
contained in Section 11.
Section 6. A Variance to Section 17.16.060 is required to
permit the enclosure of an existing breezeway that encroaches into
the front yard setback fourteen (14) feet within the fifty (50)
foot required front yard setback.
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and
conditions applicable to the property and the existing use that do
not apply generally to the other property in the same vicinity and
zone. The Variance is necessary because there exists topographical
constraints that justify the encroachment, in that there is not
sufficient flat area in the rear of the lot to accommodate the
development and grading will be minimized if the enclosed breezeway
addition is oriented closer to the front of the lot and does not
encroach further than the existing structure.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other
property in the same vicinity and zone, but which is denied the
subject property. The amount of encroachment into the front yard
setback is similar to the amount of encroachment existing on other
neighboring properties along Williamsburg Lane.
C. Granting this Variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements
in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
Permitting the 'encroachment will allow a substantial portion of the
lot to remain undeveloped.

Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Variance to encroach into the front
yard setback for an enclosed breezeway addition to a maximum of 14
feet as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto as
Exhibit A subject to the conditions contained in Section 11.
Section 8. Section 17.34.010 requires a development plan to
be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building
or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition,
alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made which
involve changes to grading or an increase to the size of the
building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any
thirty-six month period. The applicant has proposed to construct
substantial additions to an existing single family residence.
Section 9. The Planning Commission makes the following
findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General
Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the
proposed structure complies with the General Plan requirement of
low profile, low density residential development with sufficient
open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to
Zoning Code lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square
foot area of 78,443 square feet. The proposed project includes a
residence of 3,575 square feet, a garage of 462 square feet, a
swimming pool of 512 square feet, a sports court of 2,275 square
feet, a cabana of 450 square feet, and a stable of 1,215 square
feet. The total structural lot coverage will be 8,489 square feet
which constitutes 10.8% of the lot which is within the maximum 20%
structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage
including paved areas and driveway will be 14,980 square feet which
equals 19.1% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall
lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively
large lot with most of the proposed structure located near
Williamsburg Lane. The structure will be set back from the roadway
further than adjacent residences and will be maintained with mature
trees, so as to reduce the visual impact of the development and is
similar and compatible with several neighboring developments.
B. The proposed development preserves and integrates into
the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing natural
topographic features of the lot including surrounding native
vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land forms because
the building pad is relatively flat, grading has been minimized and
most of the mature trees will not be removed, thereby retaining the
current drainage pattern and landscape screening for the site.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the
site and drainage courses will continue naturally away from the
building pad.

RESOLUTION NO. 93-19
PAGE 4
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees
and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and
supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and
enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural
and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage
because the new structures will not cause the structural and total
lot coverage to be exceeded. Significant portions of the lot will
be left undeveloped.
F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences
because as indicated in Paragraph A, lot coverage maximum will not
be exceeded and the proposed project is of consistent scale with
the neighborhood, thereby grading will be minimized. The ratio of
the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio
found on several properties in the vicinity.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not
detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for
pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize
the existing vehicular access, thereby having no further impact on
the roadway.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt
from environmental review.
Section 10. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for
substantial additions to an existing single family residence in
accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A
subject to the conditions contained in Section 11.
Section 11. The Variance and Site Plan Review approvals for
a proposed new residence as indicated on the Development Plan
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A as approved in
Sections 5, 7, and 10 are subject to the following conditions:
A. The Variance approvals shall expire unless used within one
year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section
17.32.110 of the Municipal Code. The Site Plan Review approval
shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as
defined in Section 17.34.080.A.

approved plan.

conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.

and limited to 8 feet in height.
F. The lighting for the existing sports court shall be
removed and is not permitted as specified in Section
17.16.012.E(13) of the Municipal Code.

prior to the issuance of any grading and building permit. The
landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and intent
of the Site Plan Review Ordinance, shall incorporate existing
mature trees and native vegetation, and shall utilize to the
maximum extent feasible, plants that are native to the area and/or
consistent with the rural character of the community.

the landscaping plan plus 15% shall be required to be posted prior
to issuance of a grading and building permit and shall be retained
with the City for not less than two years after landscape
installation. The retained bond will be released by the City
Manager after the City Manager determines that the landscaping was
installed pursuant to the landscaping plan as approved, and that
such landscaping is properly established and in good condition.
H. The landscaping plan shall incorporate tall trees at the.
north end and the front of the structure to soften and obscure the
long roof line from adjacent residences. The landscaping along the
front of the residence shall be consistent with the landscaping in
the front yards of other residences along Williamsburg Lane. The
landscaping in the rear yard shall consist of plant materials that
are native to the community and the property.
I. The landscaping plan shall incorporate plant materials to
screen the sports court fencing from street view.
