garage, stable (barn), other accessory structures proposed and/or developed on said "buildable area," and all
projecting structures such as entryways, porte cochere, covered porches and breezeways. (Covered porches that
are 10% or less in size of the footprint of the residence or accessory structure and attached trellises are not
counted).
For the purpose of this calculation, "buildable area" shall be defined as stated in Section 17.12.020 of the
Rolling Hills Municipal Code which declares "buildable area" as the portion of a lot that constitutes the existing
-7-
• •
or proposed building pad and any other contiguous portion of the lot NOT IN THE SETBACKS THAT HAS
- AN AVERAGE SLOPE OF TEN PERCENT (10%) OR LESS. If there is no existing building pad, it shall

slope of ten percent (10%) or less. A lot may have more than one "buildable area."

The existing residence is a traditional california ranch house with low plate lines, long roof eaves, board and bait siding,
shingle roofing, and rectangular windows. The existing residence is in conformance with all setbacks, height limits,

will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, building or structures. Explain how.
The proposed addition to the residence on the south side of the property is heavily screened by existina vegetation
when viewed from the neighbor to the south (15 eastfield dr). The new guest house is also located far away
from all existing neighboring buildings and is also heavily screened by existing vegetation along the property line.
C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the use and buildings proposed.
Explain how
The proposed area for the addition and guest house are both located outside of the building setbacks
and are located on existing flat portions of the site that does not requires minimal grading. Grading
quantities are under 25 cy which consists of grading for new building floor slabs and footings.
Approximately 799 sf of area will be graded for new building floor slabs
-12-

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
(PLEASE READ)
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, imply or ensure approval by the
other. Separate building permit(s) from the City's contracted Building and Safety Department shall be required
prior to commencement of any work.
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.

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.
The existing residence is a traditional california ranch house with low plate lines, long roof eaves, board and batt siding,
shingle roofing, and rectangular windows. The existing residence is in conformance with all setbacks, height limits,
and is similiar in size to neighboring residences. The proposed design plays off of the rambling architectural character of
the existing residence and uses the same traditional materials, wide overhangs, window sizes and architecural elements to maintain
a horizontal focused design.
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.
The proposed design will not require removal of any existing vegetation or trees. The proposed
guest house is situatd on the site in a way that ties it into the existing residence while maintaining
a spacious site, the guest house will be landscaped to match the existing residence.
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 or redirect drainage flow
unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed
minimization on lots.
Minimal grading is required for the project. The proposed location for the guest house is relatively flat
requiring minimal grading

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.
The scope of work has minimal impact on the existing landscaping. The minimal amount of
proposed landscaping will match the existing.
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.
The proposed design is 21% of total lot coverage. Being well below the total allowed lot coverage
of 35% helps preserve the natural state of the lot.
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 proposed design is comparible in size, bulk ,scale as the surounding sites. It also has
similiar distances to setbacks as its neighboring lots.
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, landscaping and
other on -site parking or storage areas.
There is no change to the existing driveway. The driveway is sufficiently sized for guest parking and circulation.
