RESOLUTION NO. 92-22
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL
FOR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS TO THE EXISTING SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 481.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An applications was duly filed by Dr. J. Rae
Walker with respect to real property located at 6 Wagon Lane,
Rolling Hills (Lot 103-B-RH) requesting Site Plan Review for
substantial residential additions.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the application for Site Plan Review on
May 19, 1992, and June 16, 1992, and at a field trip on May 26,
1992.
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. 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.
Section 5. 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 203,139.2 square feet. The proposed
residence (3,727.5 sq.ft.), garage (744 sq.ft.), swimming pool (512
sq.ft.), future stable (550 sq.ft.), and service yard (140 sq.ft.),
will have 5,673.5 square feet which constitutes 2.8% of the lot
which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and
driveway will be 18,647.5 square feet which equals 9. 2 % 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 additions located away from the road so as to reduce the
visual impact of the development and is similar and compatible with
several neighboring developments.
RESOLUTION NO. 92-22
PAGE 2
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) and grading will be minimal to minimize
building coverage on the building pad itself.
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 rear of this lot.
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 so as to minimize the impact of
development.
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 maximums will not
be exceeded and the proposed project is of consistent scale with
the neighborhood, thereby grading will be required only to restore
the natural slope of the property. 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 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review for residential
additions as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto as
Exhibit A subject to the conditions contained in Section 7.
RESOLUTION NO. 92-22
PAGE 3

approved in Section 6 as indicated on the Development Plan attached
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, is subject to the

17.34.080.A.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan

notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period
of thirty (30) days.
C. All requirements of the Buildings and Construction
Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the
subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise

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. A landscape plan must be submitted to and approved by the
City of Rolling Hills Planning Department staff 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.
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

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.
F. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan
to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and
drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports
that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning
Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning
Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must
conform to the City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope
