THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mrs. Claudia Bird, with respect to real property located at 4 Storm Hill Lane, (Lot 169-A-MS), Rolling Hills, requesting a Variance to encroach into the front yard to construct a barn at an existing single family residential development. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on October 17, 2000 and November 21, 2000. The Planning Commission did not find it necessary to conduct a field inspection of the property. The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. Evidence was heard from members of the City staff, the applicant's representative, and the. Planning Commission reviewed, analyzed and studied the, project. Section 3. On March 19, 1985, Mr. and Mrs. James Bird were granted a Conditional Use Permit for a pool house and tennis court in Zoning Case No. 309 with standard conditions for tennis courts and guest houses/servants quarters. The existing residence was completed in 1986 and the pool house was completed in 1989. (Site Plan Review was adopted in 1988). On May 19, 1998, the Planning Commission granted a request for a Variance to permit encroachments into the front yard for a barn, corral, and riding ring, and granted a request for Site Plan Review approval to permit grading for the barn, corral, riding ring, and horse exercise area. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption [The State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures)] and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. 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. A Variance to Section 17.16.200(A)(3) is required because it states that no corral, pen, stable, barn, or other similar holding facility shall be permitted in the front yard. The applicant is requesting a Variance to encroach 110 feet into the front yard to construct a 449 square foot barn in the existing horse exercise area at an existing single family residential development. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 2000-29 PAGE 1 OF 5 01 1180969 A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The topography of the site prevents the construction of a barn in the rear yard. The rear and side yards slope down to a canyon and Johns Canyon Road, respectively, thereby precluding the creation of a flat areafor a barn in the rear and side yards. A barn, corral, and riding ring exist in the front yard. The steep slope on the majority of the property at the rear and a proposed subdivision at the east side of the property will restrict the property owner from constructing buildings in the east yard. Therefore, the proposed location in the front yard is the only site capable of accommodating the proposed barn. 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 General Plan and Zoning Ordinance encourage the inclusion of horsekeeping facilities on properties in the City of Rolling Hills and while the property is sufficient in size to accommodate the proposed additional facility, an additional barn could not feasibly be located in the rear or side yards. C. The granting of the Variance will 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. The Variance will permit the. construction of a barn which will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed barn will be constructed below the residential building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so ' that the proposed barn will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. Development of the barn will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 623 to encroach into the front yard to construct a barn at an existing single family residential development as indicated on the development plan dated September 28, 2000, submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, and is subject to the following conditions: A. This Variance approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval if construction pursuant to these approvals has not commenced within that time period, as required by Section 17.38.070, or otherwise extended the Variance pursuant to the requirements of that section. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has been provided, and if requested, has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails to correct the violation within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the City's determination. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-29 PAGE 2OF5 01 1180969 C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located shall be complied with unless otherwise set forth in this permit or approved by variance. D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan dated September 28, 2000, and marked Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan approved with this application. F. The structural lot coverage shall not exceed 4.5% and the total lot coverage shall not exceed 10.1%. G. The residential building pad coverage. shall not exceed 21.8%, tennis court and pool house pad coverage shall not exceed 57.3%, large barn building pad coverage shall not exceed 21.5%, and the proposed small barn building pad coverage shall not exceed 15.0%. Total building pad coverage shall not exceed 29.0%. H. The maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 19.1% of the net lot area. I. The existing topography, flora and natural features of the lot shall be retained to the greatest extent feasible. J. During construction, conformance with the air quality management district requirements, stormwater pollution prevention practices, county and local ordinances and engineering practices so that people or property are not exposed to undue vehicle trips, noise, dust, and objectionable odors shall be required. K. During construction, the Erosion Control Plan containing the elements set forth in Section 7010 of the 1996 County of Los Angeles Uniform Building Code shall be followed to minimize erosion and to protect slopes and channels to control stormwater pollution as required by the County of Los Angeles. L. During and after construction, all parking shall take place on the project site and, if necessary, any overflow parking shall take place within nearby roadway easements. M. During construction, the property owners shall be required to schedule and regulate construction and related traffic noise throughout the day between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday only, when construction and mechanical equipment noise is permitted, so as not to interfere with the quiet residential environment of the City of Rolling Hills. N. The property owners shall be required to conform with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Health Department requirements for the installation and maintenance of septic tanks. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-29 PAGE3OF5 01 1180969 O. The property owners shall be required to conform with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Health Department requirements for the installationand maintenance of stormwaterdrainage facilities. P. The property owners shall be required to conform with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Public Works Department Best Management Practices (BMP's) related to solid waste. Q. 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 shall be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review and approval. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio. R. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. S. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications .to the project which would constitute additional structural development shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. T. The approval shall not be effective until the applicant executes an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of the Variance approval, or the approval shall not be effective. U. All conditions of the Variance approval that apply must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications have been filed by Mrs. Claudia Bird with respect to real property located at 4 Storm Hill Lane (Lot 169-A-MS), Rolling Hills, requesting a Variance to permit the construction of a barn, corral, riding ring and horse exercise area in the front yard, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a riding ring, and requesting Site Plan Review to permit grading for the construction of a barn, corral, riding ring and horse exercise area on a property developed with a single family residence. Section 2. During the hearing process, the Planning Commission discussed the orientation of the barn at the site, the barn access from Storm Hill Lane and Johns Canyon Road, and the breakdown of the cut and fill required for the individual horsekeeping areas. A breakdown of the Earthwork Quantities was provided by the applicant. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the requests on March 17, 1998 and April 21, 1998 and at a field trip visit on March 28, 1998. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15303, 15304, and 15305) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. 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. A Variance to Sections 17.16.200(A)(3), 17.16.110, and 17.16.150 is required because these sections state that corrals or pens shall not be located in the front yard. The RESOLUTION NO. 98-8 PAGE 1 98 1 t73 4 _ • • applicants are requesting a Variance to encroach up to 162 feet into the front yard to construct a 2,064 square foot barn, 7,496 square foot corral, a 21,446 square foot (131 feet x 206 feet) oval riding ring, and a 125.6 square foot circular horse exercise area within the front yard. 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 or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone because the topography of the site prevents the construction of a barn, corral, riding ring, and horse exercise area in the rear yard. The rear and side yards slope down to a canyon and Johns Canyon Road, respectively, thereby precluding the creation of a flat area for a barn, corral, riding ring, and horse exercise area in the rear and side yards. 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 General Plan and Zoning Ordinance encourage the inclusion of horsekeeping facilities on properties in the City of Rolling Hills and a barn, corral, riding ring, and horse exercise area could not be feasibly located in the rear or side yards. 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. The Variance will permit the construction of a barn, corral, riding ring and horse exercise area which will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed horsekeeping facilities will be constructed below the residential building pad and are a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the horsekeeping facilities will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. Development of the horsekeeping facilities will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 574 to permit the construction of a 2,064 square foot barn, 7,496 square foot corral, a 21,446 square foot oval riding ring, and a 125.6 square foot circular horse exercise area within the front yard, subject to the conditions in Section 11. Section 7. Sections 17.16.210(A)(3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a riding ring that requires grading with a Conditional Use Permit. The applicants are requesting to construct a 21,446 square foot (131 feet x 206 feet) oval riding ring 35 feet below the existing residence at the southwest portion of the lot. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: 90 1' 3481 RESOLUTION NO. 98-8 PAGE 2 • • A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a riding ring that requires grading would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the areas proposed for the riding ring would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a riding ring will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed riding ring will be constructed below the residential building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the riding ring will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the riding ring will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 12.2 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because no structures will encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because a barn structure and corral are also proposed for the lot. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 21,446 square foot riding ring in accordance with the Development Plan dated March 27, 1998 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 574 subject to the conditions contained in Section 11. Section 9. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building or structure may be constructed, including the construction of a barn or stable that requires a grading permit. The applicants request Site Plan Review to construct a barn, corral, riding ring, and horse exercise area. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: 98 11734.812 RESOLUTION NO. 98-8 PAGE 3 • • A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed barn structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. With the Variance approved in Section 6 and the Conditional Use Permit approved in Section 8, the project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 481,696 square feet. The residence and attached garage (10,344 sq.ft.), guest house (2,000 sq.ft.), pool (76 sq.ft.), proposed barn (2,064 sq.ft.), and service yard (150 sq.ft.) will have 21,556 square feet which constitutes 4.5% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 50,570 square feet which equals 10.5% 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 structures located above and away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed barn pad and horsekeeping facilities and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan follows the natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the west side (side yard) and north side (rear yard) of this lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. 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. Further, the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions of the property. F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. RESOLUTION NO. 98-8 PAGE 4 9 g 1734_81-.7 • • G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Crest Road for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 10. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for construction of a new barn, corral, riding ring and horse exercise area, as indicated on the Development Plan dated March 27, 1998 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 11. Section 11. The Variance to the front yard approved in Section 6, the Conditional Use Permit for the riding ring approved in Section 8, and the Site Plan Review application approved in Section 10 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan Review approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.070, 17.42.070 and 17.46.080. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance, Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written 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 set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan. 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. The barn, corral, riding ring and horse exercise area shall be used for the exclusive purpose of keeping permitted domestic animals. Commercial uses shall not be permitted. F. Disturbed area of the lot shall not exceed 91,976 square feet or 19.1% RESOLUTION NO. 98-8 PAGE 5 98 73 8J_2 • • G. Grading quantities for the development project shall not exceed 2,450 cubic yards of cut soil and 2,450 cubic yards of fill soil and shall be balanced on site. H. Any grading shall preserve the existing topography, flora, and natural features to the greatest extent possible. In order to minimize impacts to the hillsides and canyon areas on this property, the building pad and graded slopes shall be designed and developed in a manner that retains and restores native plant life outside the building pad caused by pad grading and preserves the existing contiguous topography, flora, and natural features of that area to the greatest extent possible. I. Contractors shall be informed that work on the site shall not encroach into the mature natural vegetation areas except as specified on the approved Site Plan to the greatest extent possible. J. A drainage system approved by the City Engineer shall be incorporated into the overall plan of the development project. K. 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 shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio. L. An Erosion Control Plan shall be submitted to the County during plan check, approved by the County, and implemented during the construction process. M. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. N. In accordance with Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute minor modifications shall be reviewed and acted upon by the City Manager or designee, and any modifications to the project which would constitute major modifications shall be reviewed and acted upon by the Planning Commission. O. A Grading Process Guide form shall be reviewed and signed by the Owner/Applicant, Architect, Contractor/Agent, and Grading Engineer. A copy of the Guide form shall be submitted to the City and the original Guide form shall be posted at the job site. P. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of these Variance, Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals, or the approvals shall not be effective.
