THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Domenique Claessens with respect to real property located at 7 Storm Hill Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 169-B-MS) requesting Site Plan Review approval for a new single family residence, with attached garage, a pool, a barn and a hobby shop; and requesting Conditional Use Permits for the construction of a tennis court, a guest house and a cabana. During the hearing process, plans were revised to reduce the request to the construction of a new single family residence with attached garage, a pool, and a stable. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted .a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on May 18, 1993, June 15, 1993, July 20, 1993, August 17, 1993, September 21, 1993, October 26, 1993, and November 16, 1993, and at field trip visits on June 3, 1993 and October 23, 1993. Section 3. An Initial Review and Negative Declaration were prepared for the project but, as revised, 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. Section 17.46.030 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 at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the building by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period. Section 5. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, 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 setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 2,716,253 square feet (62.4 acres). The proposed residence (12,480 sq.ft.), garage (2,200 sq.ft.), swimming pool ,(1,365 sq.ft.), and stable (1,010 sq.ft.) will have 17,151 square feet which constitutes 0.63% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas 94=0332762 • • RESOLUTION NO. 93-36 PAGE 2 and driveway will be 36,165 square feet which equals 1.33% 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 structures located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The large acreage of the property allows the accommodation of a larger house. 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 (such as hillsides and knolls) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the east and west side of this very large lot. D. 'The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and, with the conditions attached to this approval, 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. Further, the proposed project will have a buildable pad coverage of 29.6%. Should the existing lot be further subdivided, the southern portion of the lot will have-15 acres and a structural lot coverage of 2.6% as in Section 7, Condition E. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain trail access near the eastern and western property lines and scenic vistas across the northerly portions of the property. F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this very large lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is much smaller than the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize Storm Hill Lane for access. 94:03327+62 RESOLUTION NO. 93-36 PAGE 3 1 Also, the proposed driveway will be at the end of a private driveway that serves one other residence which will therefore create little interference with traffic. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for' Zoning Case No. 498 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 7. Section 7. The Site Plan Review for residential development approved in Section 6 is subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080.A. B.

D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. If there is any future subdivision of this 63+ acre lot, the southern portion containing this development shall retain at least fifteen (15) acres of this existing lot with a structural lot coverage of 2.6%. The applicant shall execute and cause to be recorded a restrictive deed in favor of the City of Rolling Hills which requires any future subdivision of the property to provide for a lot of at least 15 acres in size for this development project. The form and content of the restrictive deed shall be approved by the City prior to recordation. No grading or building permit shall be issued for this project until this restrictive deed is recorded. F. The applicant shall prepare and cause to be recorded a road easement over a portion of the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. James Bird at 4 Storm Hill Lane (Lot 169-A-MS) and a portion of Mr. and Mrs. Dominique Claessens' property (Lot 169-B-MS). Prior to recordation of 94=0 332'762 • • 1 RESOLUTION NO. 93-36 PAGE 4 these deeds, the location, description and configuration of the easement shall be approved by the City and the Rolling Hills Community Association.

Notwithstanding Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional structural development shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. H. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. I. The driveway access must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. J. To minimize the visibility of buildings on the pad, the structures, driveway, graded slopes and retaining walls shall be screened and shielded from view with native drought -resistant vegetation and other vegetation that is compatible with the surrounding vegetation of the community. The vegetation selected shall utilize to the maximum extent feasible trees of a determinate height that will minimize future obstruction of views from properties on Buggy Whip Drive. K. The landscape plan must be submitted for review by the Planning Commission, as well as the Planning Department, and include native drought -resistant vegetation that will not disrupt.. the impact of the views of neighboring properties prior to the issuance of any building or grading 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. A bond in the amount of the cost estimate of the implementation of 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.
