HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 52292,
SUBDIVISION NO. 89, A REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE TWO EXISTING LOTS
TOTALING 67.64 ACRES INTO 4 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS
LOCATED NORTH OF JOHNS CANYON ROAD AT STORM HILL LANE
WHERE THERE IS ONE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT 4 STORM HILL
LANE IN ZONING CASE NO. 615.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND,
- RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. Walter V. Storm, President, Western
- Brass Development Corporation, Et al with respect to real property Lots 169-A-MS & 169-B-
MS, and generally known as 4 Storm Hill Lane, Rolling Hills, requesting approval to subdivide
two existing lots totaling 67.64 acres into four (4) single-family lots. The subject property
currently has one residential development located north of Johns Canyon Road at 4 Storm Hill
Lane.
Section 2. The application was received on March 13, 1997 and forwarded for review
by the Subdivision Committee of the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Department. The
application was received for processing on March 30, 2000. The Planning Commission
reviewed the case at subsequent meetings beginning on June 20, 2000, and concluding with a
recommendation of approval to the City Council by Resolution No. 2000-20 on September 19,
2000.
Section 3. The application applies to Lots 169-A-MS & 169-B-MS, which consists of
67.64 acres gross. The two lots are proposed to be divided into four parcels as follows: Parcel 1
will be 8.38 acres gross and 6.46 acres net; Parcel 2 will be 38.04 acres gross and 33.87 acres net;
Parcel 3 will be 14.78 acres gross and 11.44 acres net; and Parcel 4 will be 6.44 acres gross and
5.41 acres net and where there is an existing single family residential development. Lots 169-
A-MS & 169-B-MS are within the RA-S-2 zone district (2-acre minimum zone), and referred to
as Assessor's Book, Page, and Parcel No. 7570 - 024 - 003 & 7570 -024 - 012. The General Plan
Land Use designation for this property is Very Low Density Residential 2+ Net Acres per
Dwelling Unit.
Section 4. The subject site is presently occupied by one single-family residential
structure at the southwestern portion of the property at 4 Storm Hill Lane that is surrounded
by landscaping. The existing residential structure will be located on Parcel 4. The remainder of
the lot is presently vacant with natural vegetation in a semi -disturbed state. The site is
surrounded by other single family dwellings on 2+ acre size lots to the east, south and west
within the City of Rolling Hills and single family dwellings on one-half acre lots at the north
that are within the adjacent unincorporated Westfield portion of Los Angeles County. The
zone designation for the subject site is RA-S-2 and the zone designation on adjacent properties
is RA-S-2 within the City of Rolling Hills.
Section 5. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
application on October 9, 2000, October 23, 2000, November 13, 2000, and November 27, 2000
and at a field trip visit on October 17, 2000. During the hearings, the applicants straightened
the western property line of Parcel 3 and reduced the driveway slope for that parcel. Evidence
was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all
persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff and the City Council having
reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants' representatives were in
attendance at the hearings.
Section 6. According to Section 16.12.110 of Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is the advisory agency for review of a
tentative parcel map and the Commission is to make its recommendations to the City Council
- upon completing evaluation of all environmental impacts pursuant to the local guidelines
implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Section 7. The Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project on May 26,
2000. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the
environment if certain measures were included in the project. The Negative Declaration was
prepared with those mitigation measures and was circulated to the applicant and other
interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of
the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was
published. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other

the California Department of Fish & Game on the Negative Declaration were received and
made a part of the record. Concerns were expressed regarding future fire protection, noise,
views, drainage, trails, wildlife preservation, and restricted areas, in relation to the proposed
subdivision.
Section 8. The City Council has reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration and finds
that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in compliance
with CEQA. Therefore, the Council finds that although the proposed project could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because
mitigation measures have been added to the project, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Based upon these findings, the City Council hereby adopts the mitigated Negative Declaration
in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 9. Pursuant to Section 16.12.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, a tentative
map shall be rejected under certain conditions. Based upon substantial evidence presented to
the Planning Commission and City Council of the City of Rolling Hills during the public
hearings referenced in Section 2 and 6, including public testimony, and written and oral staff
reports, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed subdivision map and the design and improvement of the proposed
subdivision are consistent with the applicable General Plan, including but not limited to, the
following goals and policies of the General Plan:
1. Maintain Rolling Hills' distinctive rural residential character (Land Use
Element, p. 15) by creating a subdivision greater than the minimum lot size that will allow
significant portions of the parcels to remain undeveloped thereby preserving sensitive natural
habitat and maintaining scenic vistas.
2. Accommodate development which is compatible with and complements
existing land uses (Land Use Element, p. 15) by creating a subdivision with lots that are
greater than the minimum lot size and allowing significant portions of the parcels to remain
undeveloped, preserving the City's equestrian trail system, and preserving significant areas of
sensitive natural habitat and scenic vistas.
3. Accommodate development that is sensitive to the natural environment
and accounts for environmental hazards (Land Use Element, p. 16) by creating a subdivision
with lots that are greater than the minimum lot size, separating existing geological hazard
areas, and preserving significant areas of sensitive natural habitat.
4. Provide for housing which meets the needs of existing and future Rolling
Hills residents (Housing Element, p. 44) by creating a subdivision that will increase the
potential housing units available to satisfy the housing needs of the City's residents.
5. Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods in Rolling
Hills (Housing Element, p. 44) by extending and improving the existing Storm Hill Lane,
maintaining the City's equestrian trail system, and preserving and maintaining large areas of
sensitive natural habitat and scenic vistas.
6. Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion,
sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin or color (Housing Element, p. 45) by creating a
subdivision with lots that will increase the potential housing units available to satisfy the
housing needs of the City's residents and the residents of the South Bay Region.
7. Conserve and enhance the City's natural resources, facilitating
development in a manner which reflects the characteristics, sensitivities and constraints of
these resources (Open Space and Conservation Element, p. 15) by creating a subdivision with
lots that are greater than the minimum lot size, isolating existing geological hazard areas on
one of the four parcels, and preserving large areas of sensitive natural habitat.
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development.
The proposed use, density, and proposed subdivision improvements are permitted in the RA-
S-2 zone. The RA-S-2 Zone requires that the minimum lot size be 2 acres net. The project has
67.64 acres and creates lots with the following dimensions: Parcel 1 is 6.46 acres net, Parcel 2 is
33.87 acres net, Parcel 3 is 11.44 acres net, and Parcel 4 is 5.41 acres net, all of which exceed the
minimum 2-acre lot size of the RA-S-2 zone.
RESOLUTION NO. 894
PAGE 2
L. the design or the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage; or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat, because the property is within an area of the City, designated for development
and the City's development criteria will insure that any fish, wildlife, or sensitive habitats on
the property are adequately protected. Although, the initial study prepared for the project
identified the site as containing unique or sensitive environmental qualities and threatened,
rare or endangered plant species were identified during review of the project and addressed
wildlife habitat will be replaced at a ratio of 4:1. The subdividers have voluntary consented to
record a restrictive covenant prohibiting the further subdivision of each of the four parcels
created to preserve the natural environment.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems because conditions of approval have been applied to the
project to require compliance with applicable codes and ordinances designed to protect public
health and safety.
E. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision. The existing roadway easements will be maintained or expanded by
this project and adequate access will be provided to each parcel and adjacent parcels. In
addition, each parcel created as part of this subdivision will contain perimeter easements
providing access for roads, trails, and public utilities. As a condition of approval, these
easements will be recorded in deeds prior to approval of the final map.
F. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the housing needs of the
region. In fact, the proposed subdivision will increase the potential housing units available to
satisfy the housing needs of the City's residents.
G. The proposed use will be in substantial compliance with the provisions of the
Residential Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance.
H. The proposed subdivision is in compliance with the 40% maximum disturbed
area requirement contained in Section 17.16.070(B) of the Zoning Ordinance.
I. The proposed use will be compatible with other existing residential development
in the immediate area.
J. The tentative map design provides for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible because the project is designed
with lots of adequate dimensions to maximize the opportunities for passive and natural
heating and cooling. The subdivision is surrounded by single-family homes and will provide
similar lots.
K. The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract
entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, because the property in
question has not been included in any such contract.
L. Pursuant to Section 66474.6 of the Government Code (Subdivision Map Act), the
discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into proposed septic systems will not result
in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board, because the subdivider is required to comply with all Conditions of Approval
regarding waste disposal contained in Section 12 of this Resolution.
M. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.155, this Tentative
Tract Map is consistent with and does not impact the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste
Management Plan. The project will not generate any hazardous waste.
Section 10. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.130, the City
Council grants the following modifications to the Subdivision Ordinance for this project are
determined to be warranted because of the size and shape of the proposed division of land
and the unusual physical conditions thereon:
A. Street Grades. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.16.150 requires that
no street shall have a grade of more than six (6) percent except for short distances where the
topography makes it impracticable to keep within such grades, and in that event, the grade
shall not exceed ten (10) percent except where evidence which is satisfactory to the Advisory
Agency is given that a lower grade is not possible. However, the maximum permissible grade
shall not exceed seventeen percent for a distance of more than one hundred fifty feet. Proposed

12% for 674 feet, 15% for 653 feet, and 5% for 60 feet at the hammerhead turn at the terminus
of Storm Hill Lane. Based upon the evidence submitted, the Planning Commission finds that
the existing topography and road make it impossible to construct a roadway with a maximum
10% grade unless a switchback design is incorporated which would traverse and render
undevelopable at least one lot in the proposed subdivision. The alteration of the road to meet
the minimum guidelines would also cause large amounts of grading which would be
detrimental to the natural environment and sensitive habitat identified on the property and
would require retaining walls exceeding 5 feet in height along portions of Storm Hill Lane.
B. Maximum slope. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.16.040(D) requires
that the depth of any parcel be equal to or greater than the width along the front street
easement, with a maximum slope of 29%. All of the parcels are greater than the width along
the front street easement, but, areas of Parcels 1, 2, and 3 exceed a slope of 29%. Based upon
the evidence submitted, the Planning Commission finds that the existing topography and
geology determined the design of the proposed parcels. To reduce the 29% grades, excessive
grading would be required that would exceed the 40% limitation of disturbance, disturb
sensitive habitat, and require retaining walls that exceed 5 feet.
C. Width along Street Easement. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section
16.16.040(A) requires that the abutting footage of any lot along the street easement line shall be
at least equal to or greater than that depth of the lot divided by two and one-half; provided,
that in no event shall such abutting footage be less than one hundred fifty feet. The abutting
footage of the street easement line of Parcel 3 along Storm Hill Lane is 55 feet. But, the width
of the front of the parcel at that point is 430 feet. Due to the layout of the proposed project, the
alteration of the street easement line at that point would not be practicable because it is the
terminus of Storm Hill Lane and topographical conditions make it impractical.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council approves Tentative
Tract Map No. 52292, Subdivision No. 89 in Zoning Case No. 615, a request for a four (4) lot
subdivision of land (attached hereto as Exhibit A) subject to the modifications to the

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND,
DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed on March 13, 1997 by Mr. Walter V. Storm,
then President of Western Brass Development Corp, Et.al, with respect to real property Lots
169 A -MS and 169-B-MS and generally known as 4 Storm Hill Lane, Rolling Hills, for a
Tentative Parcel Map No. 26356 for the subdivision of the subject 67.64 acres existing 2 lots, of
which one is developed with residential unit, into four single-family residential lots located
north of Johns Canyon Road at Storm Hill Lane.
Section 2. The City Council approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 26356 by Resolution
No. 894 on November 27, 2000. The City Council on November 22, 2002 by Resolution No. 928
granted the applicant the first one-year time extension until November 27, 2003. On October
13, 2003, by Resolution No. 945 the City Council granted the applicant a second one-year time
extension until November 27, 2004 and on October 25, 2004 a one-year time extension to
November 27, 2005 was granted by Resolution No. 968.
Section 3. The City Council is now in receipt of a report from the City Engineer
dated April 14, 2005 determining that Tentative Parcel Map No. 26356 is ready for City
Council approval and acceptance and/or rejection of the dedications shown thereon.
Section 4. Based upon the City Engineer's Report, the City Council finds as follows:
a. That this project will not violate any of the provisions of Section 66427.1,
66474, 66474.1, and 66474.6 of the Subdivision Map Act.
b. Pursuant to Section 66474 (grounds for denial of a tentative map), Section
66474.1 (final or parcel map must be approved if in substantial compliance with approved
tentative map), and Section 66474.6 (water quality standards) of the Subdivision Map Act,
Final Parcel Map No. 26356 is in substantial compliance with previously approved Tentative
Parcel Map No. 26356.
c. That Final Parcel Map No. 26356, together with the provisions for its
design and improvement, is consistent with the Rolling Hills General Plan.
d. That the development of the property as set forth on the final map will not
unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of any public entity and/or public
utility rights of way and/or easements within the subject division of land, pursuant to
sections 66436(a)(3A)(i-viii) (statement of record title of interest) and 66445(f) (separate
statement of title) of the Subdivision Map Act.
e. That the "Future" public easements shown on the Final Map are not
required for present public use, since all required easements have been accepted by the
Rolling Hills Community Association and other entities. Consequently, the City is able to
reject any offers of dedication of public easements at this time based on the recognition that
said offers remain open pursuant to Section 66477.2 (offers of dedication) of the Subdivision
Map Act in case such "future" public easements are later needed for public use.
Section 5. Based upon the findings contained above, and pursuant to the
requirements of the California Subdivision Map Act and the City's Subdivision Ordinance,
the City Council hereby approves Final Parcel Map No. 26356.
Section 6. The City Council finds that all "future" public easements shown on said
map are not required for present public use, and rejects the offers of dedication of said
easements at this time, based on a recognition that these offers remain open pursuant to
Section 66477.2 (offers of dedication) of the Subdivision Map Act in case such "future" public
easements are later needed for public use.
