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. Christopher Pingel with respect to real property located at 1 Wideloop Road (Lot 11-B-EF), Rolling Hills, requesting the following: (1) a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit enlargements of kitchen, nook, and garage areas; (2) a Variance to exceed the maximum structural lot coverage permitted; (3) a Variance to exceed the maximum total lot coverage permitted; and (4) a Variance to exceed the maximum disturbed area permitted at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on February 15, 2000 and March 21, 2000, and at a field trip visit on March 11, 2000. The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)] and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code 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 in the same vicinity. Section 17.16.110 requires a front yard of fifty feet (50') from the front easement line. The applicant is requesting to add 345 square feet for the expansion of a kitchen and nook that includes the conversion of a portion of the existing garage at the north RESOLUTION NO. 2000-08 PAGE 1 OF 8 0 0 and the construction of 81 square feet for the expansion of th®e garag atttl e south which will encroach a maximum of twenty-five feet (25') into the fifty foot (50') front yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone because the residence is located close to the street and adjacent residences. The existing development pattern on the lot and the sloping rear portion precludes continued expansion of the residence on the lot. 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 to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because the development and use of the subject property in a similar manner consistent with the shape of the lot and development of other property on this street justifies this additional small incursion into the front yard setback. There will not be any greater incursion into the front yard setback than already exists. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. Development on the pad 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 for Zoning Case No. 606 to permit the proposed project to encroach a maximum of twenty-five feet (25') into the fifty foot (50') front yard setback, subject to the conditions specified in Section 12. Section 6. Section 17.16.070(A)(1) states that coverage by structures shall not be more than 20 percent of the net lot area. The applicant is requesting a Variance because coverage by structures will cover 24.4% of the net lot area. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance for the structural lot coverage is necessary because the lot is 0.79 acres and two bordering roadways exist at the southwestern and southeastern sides of the property that reduce the size of the net lot area. The lot size and configuration, together with the existing development on the lot creates a difficulty in meeting this Code requirement. 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 to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because the unusual size and configuration of the lot together with the City's development RESOLUTION NO. 2000-08 PAGE 2 OF 8 • • 00 0813480 standards result in more severe restrictions on the development of the subject property than occurring on other lots in the vicinity. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. All development will occur within existing setbacks and will be adequately screened to prevent adverse visual impact to surrounding properties. Development on the site will be 24.4% which 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 for Zoning Case No. 606 to permit lot coverage by structures of 24.4%, subject to the conditions specified in Section 12. Section 8. Section 17.16.070 (A)(2) states that coverage by structures and all other impervious surfaces, known as total lot coverage, shall not be more than 35 percent of the net lot area. The applicant is requesting a Variance because total lot coverage will be 53.4% of the net lot area. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance for the total lot coverage is necessary because the lot is 0.79 acres and there are two bordering roadways at the southwestern and southeastern sides of the property that reduce the size of the net lot area. The lot size and configuration, together with the existing development on the lot creates a difficulty in meeting this Code requirement. 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 to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because of the unusual size and configuration of the lot together with the City's development standards result in more severe restrictions on the development of the subject property than occurring on other lots in the vicinity. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. All development will occur within existing setbacks and will be adequately screened to prevent adverse visual impact to surrounding properties. Total lot coverage on the site will be 53.4% which will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 606 to permit total lot coverage of 53.4%, subject to the conditions specified in Section 12. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-08 PAGE 3 OF 8 • • 00 0813480. Section 10. Section 17.16.070 (B) states that disturbance shall be limited to 40% of the net lot area. The applicant is requesting a Variance because total disturbance will be 53.4% of the net lot area. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance for the total disturbance is necessary because the lot is 0.79 acres and there are two bordering roadways at the southwestern and southeastern sides of the property that reduce the size of the net lot area. The lot size and configuration, together with the existing development on the lot creates a difficulty in meeting this Code requirement. 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 to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because of the unusual size and configuration of the lot together with the City's development standards result in more severe restrictions on the development of the subject property than occurring on other lots in the vicinity. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. All development will occur within existing setbacks and will be adequately screened to prevent adverse visual impact to surrounding properties. Disturbed area on the site will be 53.4% which will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 606 to permit a disturbed area of 53.4%, subject to the conditions specified in Section 12. Section 12. The Variances regarding encroachments approved in Section 5 and the Variances regarding lot coverages approved in Sections 7, 9, and 11, of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.O70(A) unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of that section. B.
