NATURE OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Describe in detail the nature of'the proposed project, including what
aspects of the project require a Site Plan Review:
Construction of a private residence and yard with grading to
provide a buildable pad on a bare 63 acre site.
SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA
Site plan review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make
an affirmative finding. Describe in detail the project's conformance
with the criteria below:
A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning
Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it compares to the
sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses.
The project is compatible with the general plan, zoning ordinance and
the homes surrounding the property.
Site Plan Review
Application -9-
B. How does the project preserve and integrate 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 (such as hillsides and
knolls)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing
natural features.
The house and yard cover a small percentage of the large 63 acre
lot (bare land). A large portion of the lot will be preserved in
its natural state. Drainage courses will not be disturbed.
C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the
site to minimize grading? Extensive grading and recontouring of
existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved.
Graded slopes shall be rounded and contoured so as to blend with
existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage
redirect drainage flow unless into an existing drainage course.
Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed
minimization on lots.
Grading will generally follow the existing contouring of the land
and will affect only about 8% of the lot. Drainage patterns will
remain the same.
D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding
native vegetation and supplement it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community?
Landscaping should provide a buffer and transition zone --between
private and public areas. Explain how the project preserves native
vegetation, integrates landscaping and creates buffers.
The site will be landscaped to be compatible with surrounding
properties. The majority of the lot will remain in its natural
state.
Site Plan Review
Application -10-
E. How does the site development plan preserve the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage? Lot
coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual
amount of lot coverage permitted should depend upon the existing
buildable area of the lot. Explain how the lot coverage proposed
compares with lot coverage square footage and percentages on
neighboring lots.
Due to the size of the lot, there are none to compare it with.
All surrounding lots are considerably smaller.
F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with the
site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences? Setbacks
shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall
be imposed where necessary to assure proportionality and openness.
Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with the existing
setbacks of neighboring properties.
The setback from the proposed access easement is 50 feet. The
project covers only about 2% of the large 63 acre lot.
G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles?
Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway
location, design, trip data, landscaping and other on -site parking
or storage areas.
There is ample on site parking for the owner and guests. There
will be no additional traffic as access to the site does not continue
beyond this development.
Site Plan Review
Application .-11-
H. Does the site development plan conform with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act? Explain how the project
impacts the environment, e.g. significant impact, proposed
mitigation measures.
Development of the site for a residence will have no
significant impact on the environment.
I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached
exhibits, presents the data and information required for the site plan
review criteria evaluation to the best of my ability; and, that the

OWNERS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of
the City of Rolling Hills ("City")' and by private deed restrictions
enforced by the Rolling Hills Community Association ("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are
completely independent and separate. Both must be satisfied and
approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in
Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean
or imply or ensure approval by the other.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City
approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has
been fully read and its admonition is completely understood.

population to drop below self-
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal commun-
ity, reduce the number or restrict

important examples of the major
periods of California history or
prehistory?
b. Does the project have the poten-
tial to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short term impact on
the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term
impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c. Does the project have impacts
which are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (A
project may affect two or more separate
resources where the impact is relatively
small, but where the effect of the total
of those impacts on the environment is
significant.)
d. Does the project have environ-
mental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effect on human
beings, either directly or
indirectly?
