An application was duly filed by Miles Pritzkat, with respect to real properties located at 2 Williamsburg Lane and applying for a Lot Line Adjustment between three (3) lots that were initially created in 1937 via Tract Map No. 0201-029. Although the lots share one Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 7569-016-008, they are separate and distinct. No new lots are being created and no new development is being proposed with this application. Section 2. California Government Code Subsection 66412(d) authorizes lot line adjustments without requiring a tentative map, parcel map or final map if: (A) The lot line adjustment involves four existing adjacent parcels, where land is proposed to be taken from one parcel and added to an adjacent parcel; (B) A greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created; (C) The lot line adjustment will create parcels that conform to local zoning and building ordinances; and (D) The lot line adjustment is approved by the City. The City may impose conditions on the Lot Line Adjustment in order to make the lot conform to local zoning and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the Lot Line Adjustment or to facilitate the relocation of existing infrastructure or easements. (Id.) Section 3. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code also provides a procedure for the preparation, filing, processing, and approval or denial of a lot line adjustment application consistent with the policies of the General Plan and the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act (See Chapter 16.44 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code-RHMC). The Planning Commission, in approving a lot line adjustment, shall adopt conditions only as necessary to conform the adjusted parcels comply with the requirements of Title 17 (Zoning) or to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, trails or easements. (See RHMC Section 16.44.040.) Section 4. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application at a field trip and evening meeting on August 18, 2026. The applicant was notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearing and notices were posted in three locations within the City. The Planning Commission reviewed and considered the staff Resolution No. 2026-14 (ZC 26-070) 2 Williamsburg Lane – Lot Line Adjustment 2 report, reviewed and considered the Applicant’s request, public testimony, and other information on the record. Section 5. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the proposed project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, §§ 15000 et seq.) sections 15305, 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3) in that the lot line adjustment will not result in the creation of a new parcel, will not have a significant effect on the environment and will not result in any direct or foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; it does not authorize any development or other activity that could result in a significant effect on the environment. Section 6. Lot Line Adjustment Findings. RHMC Section 16.44.040 requires the Planning Commission to deny a proposed lot line adjustment if any of the circumstances provided in subsections (A)(1), (A)(2) or (A)(3) therein are present. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, in connection with this application and has determined that none of the circumstances justifying denial are present. Accordingly, the Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: A. The adjustment will not have the effect of creating a greater number of parcels than exist before adjustment. The proposed adjustment will move all lot lines so that each lot line is coterminous with each other, effectively merging the three lots into a single parcel. No new lots are being created and no new development beyond that which was previously-approved by the Planning Commission in Resolution 2026-02 is being proposed with this application. B. No parcels resulting from the adjustment will conflict with any applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance. The parcel resulting from the adjustment will not conflict with any applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance. The purpose of the adjustment is to remove the risk that current and future development will be in violation of the zoning code and building code. The resulting lots are compliant with the zoning code in terms of size and the lot line adjustment will not create any non-conformities. All of the subject lots are in the RA- S-1 zone, and after the lot line adjustment, will remain in compliance with the one net acre minimum lot size required by the zone. C. The adjustment will not result in an increase in the number of nonconforming parcels. The adjustment will not result in creating any new parcels nor any non-conformity, and therefore will not result in an increase in the number of nonconforming parcels. Section 7. Conditions of Approval. Given the foregoing the Planning Commission hereby approves the lot line adjustment, subject to the following conditions:
