Date: 01/21/2025 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM:STEPHANIE GRANT, ASSISTANT PLANNER THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 24-027: VARIANCE FOR RESIDENTIAL ADDITION TO ENCROACH INTO THE SETBACK LOCATED AT 15 FLYING MANE ROAD, ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274, AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (LOT 54-SF) (MOLLURA & ROGERS) DATE:January 21, 2025 BACKGROUND: Zoning and Land Size The property is in accordance with Section 17.24.045 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Dwelling units non-conforming due to smaller lots, the property has a lot area that is less than 1.25 acres. The property is zoned RAS-1 and has a net lot area of 41,603 square feet (0.95 acres). The RHMC Section 17.16.060(A) indicates that properties less than an acre are to be considered an acre (43,560 square feet). The lot is developed with a 2,427 square- foot single-family residence, 540 square-foot attached garage, 79 square foot attached covered porches, 117 SF trellis, and 442 square foot stable. The house was built in 1954. There are two existing building pads on site. The existing residence, garage, and proposed project area are located on the upper pad (9,766 square feet), and the secondary building pad (2,430 square feet) is located on the rear approximately 22 feet below the first building pad. The 442-square-foot stable and corral are located on the secondary pad. The existing topography of the project site slopes down approximately 182 feet from the highest point to the lowest portion of the back of the lot. There is a 20-foot front roadway easement on Flying 12 Mane Road, and 10-foot roadway easements along the sides and rear property lines. The lot has a depth of 341 feet in length and a width of 170 feet. The lot size, easements, and existing topography limit the size and location of any proposed improvements on site. The Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Vicinity Map has been included in this report (Attachment 3). Previous Projects On July 19, 2022, there was an approval for an Over-the-Counter project for a reroof for the main residence and barn. On September 2, 2022, there was an approval for an Administrative Review project for a barn remodel. DISCUSSION: Applicant Request On March 21, 2024, the applicants, Jennifer King of Jennifer King Designs, on behalf of the property owners Tiffany Rogers and Michelle Mollura, submitted a variance application and architectural plans for a discretionary approval before the Planning Commission for a portion of a residential addition to encroach into the side yard setback. The architectural plans have been included in this report (Attachment 6). The Project also includes a 748 square foot residential addition and 33 square foot stairs to the main residence, 89 square foot expansion to the existing front porch, 80 square feet stairs to the stable, 80 square foot stairs to the stable, and 266 square foot BBQ that is not part of this discretionary approval before the Planning Commission. Variances The Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a Variance application for a portion of a structure to encroach into the required setback. The applicants are proposing to add a 748-square-foot residential addition and stairs to the southeast portion of the main residence. A portion of the 748 square foot addition, that is, 23 square feet, encroaches into the required 20-foot side setback by 7 feet and 6 inches, which requires a variance, and the remaining 725 square feet comply with the development standards. Also, 12 square feet of the proposed residential stairs and 63 square feet of new hardscape encroaches into the side setback. The variance is required because the rear of the lot is steeply sloped, and the building pad area is limited due to the slope. The buildable area of the lot is restricted because the septic tank and leach field are located in the front yard. The residential expansion of the master bedroom, kitchen, walk in closet, and kitchen remodel provides a more multifunctional use to the existing floor plan. The corner and stairs of the master bedroom that encroaches into the side setback will not obstruct any views from any of the neighboring properties. 13 Setbacks The property has a net lot size of 41,603 square feet (0.95 acres) and is in accordance with RHMC Section 17.24.045 Dwelling units non-conforming due to smaller lots; the property has a lot area that is less than 1.25 acres. The following reduced setback limits shall apply to properties in the RAS-1 zoning district having a lot area of 1.25 acres or less, excluding roadway easement(s), and developed with single-family dwelling structures existing as of May 23, 2012, that have nonconforming setbacks, subject to the conditions set forth in RHMC subsection 17.24.045.A(1) that in no place shall the front yard setback line be less than thirty feet from the front roadway easement line. The front setback is 30 feet from the roadway easement, the side setbacks are 20 feet from the side property lines, and the rear setback is 50 feet from the rear property line. The closest neighbor to the project is located south, approximately 38 feet and 10 inches, and a proximity map has been included in the report (Attachment 4). Lot Coverage and Building Pad Coverage The Project complies with the Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Municipal Zoning Code and staff has included the Development Table (Attachment 3). The existing structural coverage is 3,605 square feet or 8.6%, and the project proposes a net of 1,208 square feet or 2.9%, for a total of 4,813 square feet or 11.56%. This is still under the maximum allowed 20% structural coverage. The existing flatwork coverage is 3,220 square feet or 7.73% and -188 square feet of flatwork will be removed for a total of 3,032 square feet or 7.28%. This is still under the maximum allowable 15% structural coverage. The existing structural and flatwork coverage is 6,825 square feet or 16.41%, and the project increases that by 907 square feet or 2.18%. The total overall structural and flatwork coverage will result in 7,732 square feet or 18.5%, which is still well under the maximum allowed 35% structural and flatwork coverage. Building Pad #1 is a total of 9,766 square-feet. The existing Building Pad #1 Coverage with deductions is 3,163 square feet or 32.38%, and with an increase of 861 square feet or 8.82%, and the total proposed Building Pad Coverage with deductions is 4,024 square feet or 41.20%, this exceeds the maximum 30% guideline by 11.20%. Building Pad #2 is a total of 2,430 square-feet. The existing Building Pad #2 Coverage with deductions is 442 square-feet or 18.18%, with an increase of 43 square feet or 1.77%. The total proposed Building Pad Coverage with deductions is 485 square-feet or 19.95%. This is well below the 30% maximum guideline. Environmental Review The proposed project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment 14 and is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts accessory structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences. Public Participation Staff has not received any calls or letters regarding the project. Public Notices The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first-class mail. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings, and a notice was published in the Daily Breeze on January 8, 2025. The radius map (Attachment 1) has been included in this report. FISCAL IMPACT: None RECOMMENDATION: Open the public hearing, take public testimony, close the public hearing, and discuss the proposed project. A resolution (Attachment 5) has been provided in case the Planning Commission decides to approve the proposed project.

The Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), which exempts the construction and location of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the proposed Project is for a new swimming pool, pool equipment, and grading export. Accordingly, the Project qualifies for the exemption pursuant to Section 15303. Further, no exceptions to the exemption apply; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The site has already been graded and there are existing structures are on site. Section 5. The gross lot area is 1.16 acres (50,965 square feet) in the RAS-1 zoning district. For development purposes, the net lot area, which excludes the roadway easements and 10 feet along the property lines, is 0.95 acres (41,603 square feet). There 20 Resolution No. 2025-01 (ZC 24-027) 15 Flying Mane Road (Mollura & Rogers) 65277.00010\43140807.1 2 are two building pads: (1) the main residential pad which is 9,766 square feet; and (2) the barn pad area which is 2,430 square feet. The property is developed with a 2,427-square- foot residence with a 540-square-foot attached garage, 117 square foot attached trellis, 442 square foot stable, and 79 square foot covered porches. Section 6. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a Variance for structures in to encroach into the required setbacks. The project Is for a residential addition to encroach into the side yard setback. The Planning Commission makes the following findings: Chapter 17.38 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits 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. With respect to this request, and pursuant to Rolling Hills Municipal Code section 17.38.050, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. 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 properties in the same zone because the 0.95-acre (41,603 square feet) size of the net lot is smaller than most in the community. The natural slope of the subject property, the location of the building pad, and the shape of the lot constrain development. The southeast corner of the of the residential addition encroaches 7 feet and 6 inches into the required 20-foot side setback. B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question. Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the Applicants of the right and benefits enjoyed by similarly situated properties in the same vicinity and zone. The proposed location for the residential addition is already flat and disturbed. The location of the addition is located in a manner that is the least visually intrusive to the property and its neighbors. The lot is smaller than the lots in the community, the property is in accordance with Section 17.24.025 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Dwelling units non-conforming due to smaller lots, the property has a lot area that is less than 1.25 acres. The property is zoned RAS-1 and has a net lot area of 41,603 square feet (0.95 acres). The variance is required because the rear of the lot is steeply sloped, and the building pad area is limited due to the slope. C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 21 Resolution No. 2025-01 (ZC 24-027) 15 Flying Mane Road (Mollura & Rogers) 65277.00010\43140807.1 3 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 proposed development will comply with the required building code, will not have adverse visual impact to adjacent properties, and is in keeping with the character and scale of the community. D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code will be observed. The City’s Zoning Code ensures that the growth and development of the City of Rolling Hills is orderly, attractive, and enhances the rural character of the community. The proposed addition adds to the attractiveness of the property, are visually harmonious with the community, and are at scale with adjacent residential development. E. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant. The variance does not grant any special privilege(s) to the applicant. The proposed location of the residential addition allow the applicants to enjoy the same rights as other residents of the community. In the past the City has granted approval for additions to encroach into setbacks on smaller lot. The City has approved similar projects in the past, this would not be a grant of special privileges and to deny this variance would impose an “undue hardship.” F. That the variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because there are no hazardous waste facilities involved. G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills. The variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills. Approvals granting the variance to allow the addition to encroach into the side setback will be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills, which encourages residential uses.
