2026-04_PC_Resolution_1ChestnutLn_ZC26-38_F_E Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2026-04 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF ZONING CASE NO. 26-38 FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A 135-SQUARE-FOOT COVERED PATIO AND OUTDOOR KITCHEN, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE USE OF SUCH STRUCTURE, AND A VARIANCE REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT IN THE FRONT YARD AND WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A STABLE AND CORRAL SET ASIDE AREA; AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR LOCATION AT 1 CHESTNUT LANE (ICARUS LP, MITTAL) (LOT 239-A-6-MS) 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 Ram Mittal on behalf of Icarus LP with respect to real property located at 1 Chestnut Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 239-A-6-MS) requesting a Site Plan Review for an 11.3-foot-high, 135-square-foot covered patio and outdoor kitchen, Conditional Use Permit for the use of such structures, and a Variance request to waive the requirement for a stable and corral set aside area. The structures were constructed around 2020 without permits. Section 2. The subject property is developed with one building pad with a 4,232- square-foot single-family residence, 657-square-foot detached garage, 375-square-foot swimming pool/spa, 33-square-foot pool equipment, and 111-square-foot storage attached to the garage. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application at a field trip meeting and regular meeting on January 16, 2024. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in the Daily Breeze on January 5, 2024. The applicant and 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. The Planning Commission approved the project on January 16, 2024. The decision was upheld by the City Council on February 12, 2024. Section 4. The project approvals were valid for a period of two years following the date of approval, in accordance with RHMC Sections 17.38.070, 17.42.070, and 17.46.080. The applicant was unable to complete the plan check process during the period of validity, and the project approvals expired on January 16, 2026, thus requiring resubmission of the project for a noticed public hearing to the Planning Commission. Section 5. 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 single family residence and accessory structures, including but Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 2 not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the Project includes the construction of a new single-family residence and related improvements. 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 existing structures are on site. Section 6. Site Plan Review. Site Plan Review is required for construction of any new building or structure pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020(A). The Project is for a 135-square- foot covered patio and outdoor kitchen which are ancillary to the main residence. With respect to the Site Plan Review for the development, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings: A. The Project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan and Zoning ordinance. The proposed structures comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low-density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The development is located on the existing building pad next to the main residence, which will reduce the visual impact from neighboring properties and from Chestnut Lane. The Project conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements. The net lot area of the lot is 100,480 square feet (2.3 acres) per RHMC Section 17.16.060(A). The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 5,639 square feet or 5.6% (20% max. permitted) excluding exempt structures; and the total lot coverage proposed, including flatwork, would be 23,521 square feet or 23.4% (35% max. permitted). The disturbed area is 26,400 square feet or 26.3% (40% max permitted), which will not change since the location of the project is already disturbed. B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable area of the lot. The topography and the configuration of the lot have been considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures; the project will be on the existing building pad which enables project elements to be the least intrusive to surrounding properties. Further, the project will be a sufficient distance from nearby residences so views and privacy of surrounding neighbors will not be impacted. The lot has an existing building pad and 26.3% of the lot is already disturbed with the remaining area either landscaped or left in a natural state. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 3 The proposed development, as conditioned, 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 of the project from Chestnut Lane. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped or landscaped. D. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls). There will be no changes to the overall drainage features on the lot. The proposed project is located on an existing building pad. The natural site design, native vegetation, and mature trees will not be affected. E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area. No grading is involved with the proposed project. F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course. No grading is involved with the proposed project. Existing drainage flow will not be changed or redirected. Drainage will follow the natural drainage courses of the lot. G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. Surrounding native vegetation and mature trees will not be affected. The development will be considerate of the environment and will enhance the rural character of the community. As such, the rural character of the community is maintained and privacy is maintained with neighbors. H. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles. There are no changes to the existing circulation for the pedestrians or vehicles. I. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Project is exempt from the 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 single family residence and accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 4 and fences. Here, the Project includes the construction of a covered patio and outdoor kitchen to a developed residential property. 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. Section 7. Conditional Use Permit Findings. RHMC Section 17.16.040(A)(3) requires a Conditional Use Permit for a structure that exceeds 200 square feet. The Applicant is proposing a 135-square-foot covered patio and outdoor kitchen. Given the foregoing, in accordance with RHMC Section 17.42.050, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: A. That the proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the covered patio and outdoor kitchen is 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 use. The Project is compatible with existing land uses as other properties in the same zone have a covered patio and outdoor kitchen. The Project is consistent with Open Space and Conservation Element Goal 2, which aims for expanded opportunities for outdoor recreation. B. That the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, building or structures. 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 covered patio and outdoor kitchen is on the east portion of the already existing building pad. C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the uses and buildings proposed. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards in the RAS-2 Zone. The net lot area is 100,480 square feet and is adequate to support the proposed use. The outdoor kitchen is already existing; roofing will cover the outdoor kitchen and will not exceed the maximum allowable 800 square feet maximum. D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the RAS-2 Zone, districts, including size, setbacks, and location. That the proposed use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 5 facilities. That the proposed 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. E. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of this title. The covered patio and outdoor kitchen allow the Applicants the ability to enjoy rights enjoyed by other residents in the City. The proposed use is consistent with the residential character of the City. Section 8. Variance. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance granting relief from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity or zone. A variance from the requirements of Section 17.16.200(H) of the Zoning Code is requested to encroach into the front yard. A variance from the requirements of Section 17.16.170 (stable and corral site required) of the Zoning Ordinance is requested to waive the requirements of a stable and corral set aside. With respect to the aforementioned request, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The area for the covered patio and outdoor kitchen is located in the front yard; it is closer to the street easement than the existing residence. However, the area is much higher than the roadway and functions as a backyard for the residence due to the configuration and topography of the lot. This condition does not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The natural slope of the subject property, the location of the building pad, and the shape of the lot constrain development. The building pad was created in the middle of the property overlooking the road below. The building pad is small, constrained, and the slopes surrounding the building pad does not allow for a reasonably sized pad for a stable and corral. The deck area for the swimming pool, covered patio, and outdoor kitchen is on the eastern side of the residence near a slope. Due to the size, topography, and configuration of the lot, there is no space for a reasonably sized stable and corral (1,000 square feet minimum). If a stable and corral is built on the property, a variance request would be needed to build in a required setback area on slopes greater than 4:1; non-exempt grading may also require variance. The size, topography, and configuration of the lot do not support the construction of a stable and corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 6 precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and corral. B. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question. The variance to encroach into the front yard is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the property. The area for the covered patio and outdoor kitchen is located much higher than the roadway and functions as a backyard for the residence due to the configuration and topography of the lot. The variance to deviate from the stable and corral set aside area is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the property owner since the property contains steep slopes not suitable for a new pad. The ability to provide a stable and corral or a set aside area is an amenity enjoyed by most property owners in the City. The subject property is not capable of providing such an amenity due to constraints with size, topography, and configuration. The limited building pad on the property prevents the construction of a new stable and corral or placement of a set aside area. Other than placement of the stable and corral set aside area in the front yard area, the applicant looked into possible placement toward the rear of the property. Access, due to steep topography, would have required extensive grading. Other properties that have development constraints were granted variance for stable and corral set aside. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and corral. C. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in such vicinity. Granting the variance to encroach into the front yard is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The area for the covered patio and outdoor kitchen functions as a backyard for the residence due to the configuration and topography of the lot. It is not in close proximity to other properties or improvements in the vicinity. The lack of a stable and corral set aside area will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity since no development would occur. Eliminating a set aside area will not negatively affect drainage or traffic circulation to and from the property. The variance from the stable and corral set aside will not be detrimental to the public, on the contrary, it will be beneficial to the public welfare and other properties because by not Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 7 constructing a stable and corral, there will be no grading on the lot. If the set aside area was placed in the front yard, it would be close to the road and to a neighboring property. D. In granting the variances, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance will be observed. The area for the covered patio and outdoor kitchen is essentially the backyard for the residence. The area is much higher than the roadway and inconspicuous. The improvements are ancillary to the residence and meet the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. The elimination of a set aside area is consistent with other properties in the area that do not have a stable and corral nor have a set aside area. The variance will make the property more cohesive with the rural character of the neighborhood by eliminating grading needed for a building pad. The waiver to the stable and corral set aside area meets the intent of the Zoning Ordinance as it will prevent extensive grading and disturbance on the property. It will also preserve the environmentally sensitive nature of the site by protecting the slopes from any construction. The size, topography, and configuration of the lot does not support the construction of a stable and corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and corral. E. The variances will not grant special privilege to the applicant. The area for the covered patio and outdoor kitchen is located on the same building pad as the existing residence. However, due to the configuration and topography of the lot, the area is in the front yard, even though it functions as a backyard. The variance will not grant a special privilege to the applicant. The waiver of the stable and corral set aside area in this case will not grant special privilege to the applicant. There are several properties in the City that do not lend themselves to construction of a stable and corral, and if they were forced to either set aside an area or construct such equestrian facilities it would require large grading quantities and large disturbance of the lot. This would not meet the goal of the General Plan, which is to maintain to the maximum extent feasible the natural terrain of the lots. The size, topography, and configuration of the lot does not support the construction of a stable and corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and corral. F. The variances are consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. Resolution No. 2026-04 1 Chestnut Lane (Icarus LP/Mittal) 8 The project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. It will not affect any existing hazardous waste management facilities. G. The variances are consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills. The project is in line with the General Plan’s requirement of low profile, low-density residential development with sufficient open space between neighboring structures. Even though the structures encroach into the front yard and stable and corral set aside requirement is being waived, the variances are in line with the City’s General Plan’s goal to maintain to the maximum extent feasible the natural terrain of the lot. The size, topography, and configuration of the lot does not support the construction of a stable and corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and corral. Section 9. Approval Conditions.
