RESOLUTION NO. 93-1
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO
THE FRONT YARD SETBACK FOR A MASTER BEDROOM ADDITION
AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR SUBSTANTIAL
ADDITIONS TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN
ZONING CASE NO. 488.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Les
Hromas with respect to real property located at 2 South Quail Ridge
Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 1-A-CH) requesting: (1) a Variance to the
front yard setback to construct a master bedroom addition; and (2)
Site Plan Review for substantial residential additions.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the applications for a Variance and a
Site Plan Review on November 17, 1992 and December 15, 1992, and at
a field trip on November 21, 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. Sections 17.32.010 through 17.32.030 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. A Variance to Section 17.16.060 is required to
construct additions in the fifty (50) foot front yard setback.
The applicant is requesting a master bedroom addition which will
encroach 19 feet into the front yard setback. The Planning
Commission finds:
A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
and conditions applicable to the property and the intended use that
do not apply generally to the other property in the same vicinity
and zone. The Variance is necessary because the lot is located off
a curvilinear street known as Quail Ridge Road South with the
assigned front yard of the property perpendicular to the end point
of the curve of the street. Consequently, while the house is set
back a radial distance of 50 feet from the street, it is not set
back a similar distance in all areas to the assigned front yard
setback line. Also, the existing development pattern on the lot
and the sloping rear portion precludes continued expansion of the
house towards that area on the lot without leaving areas of open
space on the building pad.
• .
RESOLUTION NO. 93-1
PAGE 2
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 the
property in question. The Variance is necessary because the
proposed addition will be aligned with the front of the existing
residence and the proposed addition will not protrude beyond the
existing dwelling. Also, the Variance will permit the development
of the property in a manner similar to development patterns on
surrounding properties.
C. The granting of this Variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the 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 to encroach into the front
yard setback to a maximum of 19 feet as indicated on the
Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A subject to the
conditions contained in Section 9.
Section 6. 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 7. 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 26,622 square feet. The proposed residence
(4,641 sq.ft.), garage (703 sq.ft.), swimming pool (700 sq.ft.),
recreation court (312 sq.ft.), future stable (450 sq.ft.), and
service yard (177 sq.ft.), will have 6,983 square feet which
constitutes 15.4% of the lot which is within the maximum 20%
structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage
including paved areas and driveway will be 13,000 square feet which
equals 28.6% 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. 93-1
PAGE 3
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 sides 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 off South Quail Ridge Road, 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 8. 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 9.

subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise
set forth in these approvals, or shown otherwise on an approved
plan.

F. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall
not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point.
G. 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.

K. Grading for the project site shall be balanced and shall
not exceed 145 cubic yards of cut soil and 145 cubic yards of fill
soil.
L. Any modifications to the project which would constitute
a modification to the development plan as approved by the Planning
Commission shall require the filing of an application for
modification of the Zoning Case pursuant to Section 17.34.070 of
