A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW AND CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL GARAGE ADDITION AND
NEW STABLE AND CORRAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 931 AT 7 MIDDLERIDGE
LANE SOUTH, LOT 249-A-UR, (MCCARTHY/CHENG).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Kimberly McCarthy and Benjamin Cheng with
respect to real property located at 7 Middleridge Lane South, Rolling Hills (Lot 249-A-UR) requesting a
Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a residential garage addition of
475 square feet and a new 1,608 square foot, two-story stable (including a 688 square foot loft) with 520
square feet of covered porches and a 2,875 square foot corral.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings held on August
15, 2017. The Planning Commission viewed the project in the field, opened the hearing to enable brief
public testimony and continued the meeting to the evening meeting of the Planning Commission. At the
August 15, 2017 evening meeting, the Planning Commission provided direction to staff to prepare a
resolution of approval for the proposed project.
Neighbors within 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in
the Peninsula News on August 4, 2017. The applicants and their agents were notified of the public
hearings in writing by first class mail and the applicants and agents were in attendance at the hearings
evidence was heard and presented from all person interested in affecting said proposal, and from
members of the City staff.
Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and the gross lot area is 3.48 acres (excluding the
roadway easement). The net lot area is 3.4. acres or 148,104 square feet. The existing property is
currently developed with a 4,095 square foot residence (including the approved addition) with an
existing 472 square foot garage, and an existing 336 square foot stable. There is also an existing
swimming pool on the property which will be partially filled in with the remaining portion of existing
pool excavation being used for a newly approved pool. (The newly approved pool enables lap
swimming).
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA) pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 (a) and (3) of the CEQA
guidelines.
Section 5. Site Plan Review. With respect to the Plans submitted for the development, the
Planning Commission hereby approves the request for Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No. 93.1 to
build the proposed project and makes the following findings:
A. . The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance
and surrounding uses because the proposed structures comply with the General Plan requirement of low
profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures
and maintaining sufficient setbacks to provide buffers between residential uses. The net lot area of the
property is 3.4 acres which is within the requirements of the RAS-2 zone. None of the proposed new
structures are in setbacks.
Resolution No. 2017-16
7 Middleridge Lane South -1-
•
The project conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements. The net lot area of the property is
148,104 square feet. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 6.5%, which includes all of the
structures, with allowance for permitted deductions, (20% max. permitted); and the total lot coverage
proposed, including the driveway would be 20.6%, (35% max. permitted). The disturbed area of the lot
is proposed to be 20.8% which is below the 40% maximum disturbance.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by
minimizing building coverage. The configuration of the lot has been considered, and it was determined'
that the proposed development will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures, because the proposed location of structures on the lot are consistent with
surrounding development, and are of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that it will not impact
the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will allow the owners to enjoy their property without
deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners.
The project proposed to construct a new stable and corral and thereby promotes equestrian uses,
furthering the City's goal to remain an equestrian community.
C. The proposed development, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, and is
consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to new residences in the vicinity of said
lot. The development plan takes into consideration the visibility from all roadway easements with the
garage addition being located in one of the least visible portions of the property.
D. If landscaping is introduced , it must be compatible with and enhance the rural character
of the community, and the landscaping should provide a buffer or transition area between private and
public areas.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety
of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because there will be no change to the existing driveway
apron. There is ample parking in the garage and there is parking for guests on site.
Section 6. Conditional Use Permit. Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a stable over 200 square feetand corral over 550 square feet with a
Conditional Use Permit. The proposed 1,608 square foot stable and 2,875 square foot corral comply with
all requirements of these sections. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the
Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code. The Planning Commission must consider applications for a Conditional Use Permit and may, with
such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional use which will not jeopardize, adversely
affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be
materially detrimental to the property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the stable and corral would be consistent
with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the use is consistent
with similar uses in the community, and meets all the applicable code development standards for such
uses, and they are located in the areas on the property that are adequately sized to accommodate such
uses. The proposed uses are appropriately located in that they will be sufficiently separated from nearby
structures used for habitation or containing sleeping quarters. The stable/corral will be constructed in
furtherance of the General Plan goal of promoting and encouraging equestrian uses.
Resolution No. 2017-16
7 Middleridge Lane South -2-
V
Y' a •
C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been considered, and
the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the proposed stable/corral use is located mostly in the middle of a 3.4 acre lot and the
general location is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so as to not impact the view or privacy
of surrounding neighbors. The proposed stable is to be located adjacent to the corral and access
roughened for equestrian uses that runs from the stable to the road is separate from the other outdoor
living areas on the property.
D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and
surrounding residences because the proposed uses comply with the low profile residential development
pattern of the community and will not give the property an over -built look, and areas will remain open
and unobstructed. The lot is 3.4 acres net in size and is sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed
uses.
The stable will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because Rolling Hills is an
equestrian community and stables are encouraged. The stable will look like a stable and with the corral
will promote open space on the pad.
E. The proposed conditional use complies with allapplicable development standards of the
zone district and requires Conditional Use Permits pursuant to Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
P. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 931 request for the construction of garage addition of
475 square feet and a new stable and corral, subject to the following conditions:
A. The Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within two years
' from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.46.080 and 17.41.070 unless otherwise

provided written notice of the hearing. The stop work order shall remain in effect during the pendency of

occurred. If the City Council determines that a violation has not occurred or has been cured by the time
of the hearing, the City Council will lift the suspension and the stop work order. If the City Council
determines that a violation has occurred and has not yet been cured, the City Council shall provide the
Applicant with a deadline to cure the violation; no construction work shall be performed on the property

I hit the wrong key and sent the email before finishing it.
here is the rest
Hi Julia,
Here are the answers i was missing.
Once again, thank you for all of your help
1-disturbed area vs total lot area.
disturbed (includes house, driveway, pool, pool deck, any graded area, any accessory structures, and any portion of the lot
that has been altered by mankind)
30,795.6 square feet.
2-Pad square footage.
The house and the barn are all in one pad at elevation 237.
The pad is 27,952 square feet for the entire area at that elevation.
This is the only pad on the property.
3-Structural coverage on Pad
Main house 5,250 square feet
barn 700 square feet
pool and pool deck 3,456 square feet
accessory structures 150 square feet
(gas meter, pool equipment, etc)
Total structural coverage 9,556 square feet
Structural coverage percentage on pad is 34.18%
4-Driveway grade varies.
The lower part of the driveway is the steepest at 19%
The middle part is less steep at 10%
and the top portion of the driveway is almost flat at 4%
Since we are not above the 25% does that mean that the driveway does not have to be roughened?
5-Total perimeter of the house vs garage demo perimeter
house perimeter is 578 feet and 8 inches
garage perimeter to be demolished is 80 feet
6-stable drainage.
PLAsle--7
We will contact the civil engineer who is working on the project already to advice on this matter.
7-barn elevations
trying to finish them and send them to you ASAP
The first floor will have a plate height of 9 feet and the second floor a plate height of 7 feet. Second floor is for hay storage.
I think that was all of the questions we had left.
thank you again and see you soon
