FINDING THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR LOCATION AT 3
MAVERICK LANE (KARATSU) (LOT 30-SK)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND,
RESOLVE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. On August 8, 2025, an application was duly filed by Louie Tomaro, agent
with respect to real property located at 3 Maverick Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 30-SK) requesting a
Site Plan Review for new construction including a new attached garage and non-exempt grading
and related improvements; and Variances for construction of the attached garage within the front
and side yard areas.
Section 2. The property is zoned RAS-2 and is 2.11 acres net and 91,708 square feet
net, as calculated for development purposes. The property is located east of Caballeros Road
on Maverick Lane. There is one street frontage for the property along Maverick Lane. The
property is regularly shaped and the topography is above grade off Maverick Lane and becomes
sloped within the interior of the lot towards the Upper Willow Spring trail. There is a 40-foot-wide
roadway easement along Maverick Lane and 20-foot-wide trail easement along the rear property
line.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to
consider the application at its field trip meeting and regular meeting on January 27, 2026.
Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was
published in three public places on January 16, 2026. The applicants and their agent were
notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail and the agent was in attendance at
the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said
proposal.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a 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 the construction of an attached garage and single-family residence, and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Site Plan Review Findings. Site Plan Review is required for construction of
any new structure pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020. With respect to the Site Plan Review
for the proposed development, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings:
