FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (LOT 11- B-CH) (LUKIC)
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 Luis de Moraes of Envirotechno Architecture
Inc, on behalf of the property owners Mr. Neb Lukic and Jennifer Lukic ("Applicants"), with
respect to real property located at 4 Spur Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 11-B-CH) requesting a site
plan review to demolish an existing 3,525-square-foot single-family residence and construct a
new 5,837-square-foot single-family residence and attached garage in a similar footprint, and
construct maximum five-foot-high retaining walls in the rear portion of the building pad and in the
side yards, expand the existing residential building pad to 13,780 square feet, conduct 5,230
cubic yards of non-exempt grading, a new 1,010-square- foot swimming pool, and 34-square-foot
pool equipment. The project requires a new main driveway and removal of the existing driveway.
The project also includes 34-square-foot pool equipment, 453-square feet of attached covered
porches, 166-square-foot barbecue, 130 CY export (exempt), and 123-square- foot service yard,
which are not subject to discretionary review. A variance is requested to exceed the 40%
maximum disturbance. The applicants originally requested a 1,585-square-foot stable and
driveway access in the rear portion of the property; however, this was withdrawn from the
project.
Section 2. The existing single-family residence was built in 1951, and in 1962, the
Planning Commission approved a variance for an addition to a single-family residence.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider
the application at its morning 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 applicants 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 opened the meeting, took public testimony, and continued the public
hearing to a later date. The Planning Commission directed staff to work with the applicant on
revising the plans to decrease the amount of grading for the Project. The Planning Commission
2
Resolution No. 2026-05 (ZC 26-37)
4 Spur Lane (Lukic)
directed the applicants to bring the project back when the relocated driveway and apron in the
relocated easements were approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA). On
February 22, 2024, the RHCA approved the relocation of the driveway and apron on Spur Lane.
The applicants were granted access to use the RHCA easement for the new driveway and apron.
The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the
application at its field trip meeting and regular meeting on March 19, 2024. Neighbors within a
1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in the Daily
Breeze on March 6, 2024. The applicants and agent were notified of the public hearings in writing
by first class mail and were in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented
at the public hearing from all persons interested in affecting said proposal.
Section 4. On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission held a special meeting to
review the two new proposed driveways and aprons. The main driveway apron is located on
Spur Lane and the secondary driveway to the stable is located on Cinchring Road. On December
11, 2023, the Traffic Commission approved the main driveway and denied the secondary
driveway for stable access. The Traffic Engineer did not recommend the secondary driveway
due to safety and drainage concerns. The Traffic Commission directed staff to work with the
applicants to consider alternative locations for the secondary driveway for stable access. The
applicants decided to remove the stable and secondary driveway from the project at this time.
Section 5. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the net lot area excluding the roadway
easement is 1.08 acre (47,063 square feet). Currently, there is only one building pad that exists
on the property. The project includes an existing 7,260-square-foot building pad near the front
of the property closest to the street. The existing residence is located 14-feet from the front
roadway easement, 25-feet from the west side property line, and 24 from the east side property
line. The rear property line is located downslope of the building pad over 288 feet to the south.
The current residence encroaches into the 30-foot front setback by 10 feet.
Section 6. 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
not limited to garages , carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the Project includes
the demolition of a residence and 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 7. Site Plan Review. Site Plan Review is required for demolition of an existing
residence and for the construction of a new 4,870-square-foot residence and attached 967-
square-foot garage pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020(A), for a retaining wall above three
feet in height pursuant to RHMC Section 17.16.190(F), a 1,010-square-foot swimming pool
pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020(A)2 .b for swimming pool/spa more than 800-square-feet,
expansion of existing residential building pad to 13,780-square-feet, and for non-exempt grading
totaling 5,230 CY including 130 CY of export (exempt) pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020(A).
3
Resolution No. 2026-05 (ZC 26-37)
4 Spur Lane (Lukic)
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, which includes demolition and construction of a residence
and grading is compatible with the General Plan and Zoning ordinance, subject to a site plan
review. The proposed structures comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low-
density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The
new residence will be built on the existing 7,260-square-foot building pad that be enlarged to
13,780-square-feet, expanded 60 feet, and the existing grade will be lowered 7-feet in depth,
which will reduce the visual impact. The site plan review for the retaining walls not to exceed the
5-foot maximum height along the southwest corner of the residence.
The new residence meets the requirements for reduced setbacks on a smaller lot.
According to RHMC Section 17.24.045, reduced setbacks may apply to properties in the RAS-
1 zoning district that have a lot area of 1.25 acres or less, excluding roadway easements. As
such, the new residence will have a 30-foot front yard setback.
The project conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements. The net lot area of the
lot is 47,063-square feet or 1.08 acres per RHMC Section 17.16.060(A). The structural net lot
coverage is proposed at 7,941 square feet or 16.86% (20% max. permitted) excluding exempt
structures; the total flatwork coverage proposed is 6,585-square-feet or 13.99%, and the total lot
coverage proposed, including structural & flatwork, would be 14,818 square feet or 31.49% (35%
max. permitted). The disturbed area of the lot is proposed to be 29,880 square feet or 63.49%
(40% permitted). The disturbed area exceeds the maximum 40% permitted by 23.49%. The
applicant has requested a Variance to exceed the disturbance limitations to 29,880 square-feet
or 63.49%.
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 proposed
grading and retaining wall for development will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental
to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures; the grading and retaining wall allows the proposed
construction to be constructed largely on an existing building pad which enables proposed
project elements to be the least intrusive to surrounding properties. The existing building pad is
relatively small at 7,260-square-feet, the RHMC requires a minimum 12,000-square-foot building
pad. The enlargement of the building pad to 13,780-square-feet, 60-foot expansion, and lowering
the pad by 7-feet in depth will level and even out the lot for the new residence, swimming
pool/spa, driveway, and amenities.
The applicants are proposing to remove the existing driveway on Spur Lane located on the
northeastern side of the property and construct a new driveway on the northwestern side of the
4
Resolution No. 2026-05 (ZC 26-37)
4 Spur Lane (Lukic)
property. The new garage will be located at the northeastern portion of the parcel. The new
driveway will be 90 feet long by 22 feet wide extending to the new garage.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain
and surrounding residences.
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 Spur Lane as it utilizes the enlarge and expand the existing building pad and has a similar
footprint to the existing residence. The existing driveway will be relocated to the northwest
portion of the lot and repaved to align with the new garage. The swimming pool/spa will be
located at the edge of the expanded residential building pad. The retaining walls have been
designed to support the expanded building pad.
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).
A landscape plan has been prepared to for compliance with water efficient landscape
ordinance requirements and low impact development standards. The landscape plan will
introduce additional landscaping, which will be compatible with and enhances the rural character
of the community, and the landscaping will provide a buffer or transition area between private
and public areas. The grading and retaining wall are designed to preserve existing topography
where possible and mimic the natural terrain.
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.
Grading consists of 2,680 CY of cut and 2,550 CY of fill with 130 CY export (exempt). The
grading and retaining walls are designed to preserve slopes where possible and mimic the
natural terrain.
F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage
flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course.
Grading will be done to improve the residential building pad, driveway and walkways
throughout the site. Drainage will not change and 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 and new landscaping
will be considerate of the environment and will enhance the rural character of the community.
5
Resolution No. 2026-05 (ZC 26-37)
4 Spur Lane (Lukic)
Landscaping will provide a buffer or transition between various pads on the property. 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.
The garage has been relocated to the northeast portion of the parcel and the garage
access is reoriented to the west. The new driveway is accessible from the relocated apron at the
northeast corner of the parcel, extends 22 feet wide by 90 feet long at the north end of the parcel.
The new driveway and apron will provide better circulation and parking for the property owners'
family and guests. An adequate pathway is proposed to safely accommodate pedestrians
around the residence to the backyard and the rear of the property. Adequate walkways will be
provided to the pool and deck.
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
and fences. Here, the Project includes the construction of a new single-family residence,
swimming pool, retaining walls, and associated grading. 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 8. Variance. Section 17.38.050 sets forth the required findings for granting
variances to for the development to exceed the maximum 40% of the net lot area as identified
in Section 17.16.170, Section 17.16.150(B). With respect to the request for variance, 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 extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property. The residence was
developed prior to the City's incorporation and has a legal nonconforming front yard setback of
30 feet which may continue pursuant to Section 17.24.045. However, the small lot size and
location of the building pad near the street are exceptional circumstances applicable to the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The
variance is warranted due to the unique sloping topography that does not apply generally to
other properties in the vicinity. The existing building pad is 7,260 square feet, and in order for
the lot to conform to the minimum 12,000 building pad size, additional disturbance of 6,520
square feet will be added for a total of 13,780-square-foot building pad.
6
Resolution No. 2026-05 (ZC 26-37)
4 Spur Lane (Lukic)
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.
Granting the requested variance are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
property rights on the property. The existing main building pad is too small, therefore a larger
building pad which requires additional disturbance of 23% will accommodate a new residence,
garage, driveway, swimming pool, and improvements. Other properties in the vicinity enjoy these
types of improvements.
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.
Granting the variances to exceed the maximum allowable 40% disturbance will not be
detrimental to the public welfare and will not be injurious to properties in the vicinity; a new
residence, garage, driveways, swimming pool/spa, and other improvements are allowed in the
Rolling Hills community. Further, the project will be consistent with other developments in the
area.
D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be
observed.
The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and
surrounding residences because the proposed construction complies with the low-profile
residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property an over-
built look. The lot is sufficient to accommodate the proposed use.
E. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant.
Granting the requested variance allows a new single family home similar to others
enjoyed by many properties throughout the City. The project, together with the variances,
will be compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified
in the General Plan.
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.
Granting a variance for the project will be consistent with the applicable portions of the
Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan related to siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities. The project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste
and Substances Sites List.
G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of
Rolling Hills.
7
Resolution No. 2026-05 (ZC 26-37)
4 Spur Lane (Lukic)
Granting the variance will be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills,
which allows and encourages residential uses and property improvements. It will further the low-
profile residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property an
over-built look.
Section 9. Approval Conditions. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in
the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 26-37 subject to the
