Tract
Describe in detail the nature of t roposed use, including what aspects of the
project require a Variance.
The entire project consists of a roadway repair and replacement of an existing wall.
Because the retaining wall is within the sideyard setback, it will require a variance
for that setback.
Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the
'same vicinity and zone.
The grading required to eliminate a dangerous cross slope requires a stepped retaining
wall encroaching into the setback. A reduced driveway width is not allowed due to the
existence of an egress easement through the property.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to
the property or imn•-ovements in such vicinity and zone where property•is located because.
By providing a stepped and landscaped retaining wall, the visnm1 impart of the
existing roadway is greatly reduced. thereby improving the adjacent properties and
bridle trail.

NATURE OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what
aspects of the project require a Site Plan Review:
Repair of existing driveway including the replacement of the existing retaining
wall. In one section the new retaining wall is 5' closer to the property line
than the existing. Both the new & existing walls are within the minimum setback
required.
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.
YPC The driveway improvements will allow for a more attractive driveway
entrance, more in keeping with the neighboring properties and eliminate an
unsafe cross slope condition on the common driveway.
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.
By incorporating a terraced and landscaped retaining wall, the project will
anhanrP the. adjacent bridle trail as well as the neighboring property.
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.
The grading is limited to the driveway area itself, the primary purpose being
the elimination of an unsafe cross slope condition. The impact on the adjacent
terrain is mitigated by the landscaped retaining wall design.
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.
ThP nlantar inrornorated into the design introduces additional landscaping into
the project sit,. as wP11 as minimizes the visual impact of the existing paved area.
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.
The sites lot coverage is unaffected.
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 site enjoys a more than 40' building setback along the effected property
line (greater than average for the area). The design of the new retaining wall
will reduce its impact on adjacent properties.
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.
The driveway improvements will significantly improve both the safety and
convenience of all three properties dependent on the drive. The additional
width alleviates congestion at the garage entrance and the elimination of a
dangerous cross slope combined with a raised retaining wall (18") will prevent
cars from backing up over the edge of the retaining wall.
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.
The project as designed will have no impact on the surrounding 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

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.

COMPUTATION OF BUILDABLE AREA AND COVERAGE THEREOF
A policy of the City is to address coverage of an identified "EXISTING
BUILDABLE AREA". Coverage thereof is based upon the calculation of the
"footprint" square footage of the residence, garage, stable (barn), and
other accessory structures proposed and/or developed on said "buildable
area".
For purposes of this calculation, "buildable area" shall be defined as
stated in Section 17.08.135 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code which
declares existing "buildable area" as the portion of a lot that
constitutes the existing building pad and any other contiguous portion
of the lot within allowable setbacks that has an average slope of ten
percent (10%) or less. If there is no existing building pad, it shall
mean that portion of a lot within allowable setbacks that has an average
slope of ten percent (10%) or less.
