PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Planning Commission of the City of Rolling
Hills will hold a Public Hearing at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 in the
Council Chambers of City Hall, 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, CA for the
purpose of receiving public input regarding the following:
ZONING CASE NO. 757-MODIFICATION. Request for a MODIFICATION
to a previously approved Site Plan Review. The modification entails
construction of caissons along a portion of the westerly property line, (rather
than remediate portions of two adjacent properties) and reduction in grading
quantities. The applicant is also requesting a waiver of one of the conditions
of the original approval. The property is located at 3 Appaloosa Lane (Lot
246-MS), Rolling Hills, CA. (Fozoonmehr).
The original approval involved substantial grading (approximately 150,000
cubic yards of cut and 150,000 cubic yards of fill of soil) to remediate and
stabilize the lot and two adjacent lots, for grading of a building pad and
construction of a single family residence.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted for the previously approved
project. The adopted mitigated measures shall be in full force and effect for this
modification, as the project modification would not introduce potentially
significant environmental impacts that were not previously addressed in the
original Mitigated Negative Declaration.
APPLICATION REQUIRED BY MUNICIPAL CODE: Chapter 17.46 — Site Plan
Review-Modification.
Any person is welcome to review the subject application and plans prior to the
public hearing at the City Hall Administration Building located at 2 Portuguese
Bend Road, Rolling Hills. We welcome your input. You may provide your
comments in writing to the Planning Department prior to the meeting or come to the
meeting and address the Planning Commission on this project.
If you challenge the approval or denial of this permit application in court, you
may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the
public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to
the Planning Commission at, or prior to, the public hearing.

Lot 5, Tract 29383). The main development site is a residentially zoned vacant lot. It is irregular in shape,
approximately 1,400 feet in length and approximately 350 feet at its widest point. Its existing topography
consists of non-graded natural slopes situated in a steep natural gully sloping down from south to north (from
approximately elev. 900 to elev. 760) and from west to east (from approximately elev. 960 to elev. 830) in the
project area. The main project site is vegetated with native plants, including native and non-native grasses
and shrubs and several species of trees including an avocado grove.
The adjoining lot at 17 Buggy Whip contains 79,280 square feet (1.82 acres gross). It is somewhat rectangle
in shape, approximately 223 feet by 372 feet, and is developed with a single family home and a swimming
pool. The portion of the lot in the project area has a down-slope west to east from approximately elev. 970 to
elev. 930.
The adjoining lot at 19 Buggy Whip contains 79,500 square feet (1.82 acres gross) and is similarly shaped,
approximately 225 feet by 352 feet, and is also developed with a single family home and swimming pool. The
portion of the project on this lot has a down-slope west to east from approximately elev. 840 to elev. 820. The
grading on both of the adjoining lots will involve excavation and re-compaction, for stabilization since these
areas have been identified as being in a landslide area. The remaining areas of the two adjoining lots contain
vegetation similar to the one on the 3 Appaloosa site. As part of the mitigation measures a biological
assessment study will be conducted to determine precise biota on the properties.
From the subject sites there is a view of other canyons within the City, and of distant city lights outside the
City. The sites are located in a canyon and are visible only to their immediate neighbors.

IV. DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation: (Select one)
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
X I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by
or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has
been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects
that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

VI. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific
factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,
based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3) Once the Lead Agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with
mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial
evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact"
entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The Lead Agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVII, "Earlier Analyses," above may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process,
an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. See State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The following analysis is a description of the findings contained in the Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Issues Checklist Form, which preceded this page. Included is a detailed discussion of all-potential
environmental impacts checked "Potentially Significant Impact," "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation
Incorporated," and "Less Than Significant Impact" is provided, along with appropriate mitigation measures.
Item I. AESTHETICS.
a-d LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
The affected area is not officially designated in the City's General Plan as a scenic vista, nor are there
any designated historically significant structures or scenic highways located in the project area. The
area is mainly in a canyon visible from only neighboring private properties and from the "Glory"
equestrian trail located at the ridge above the main development site and canyon. The disruption of
the canyon vista will be temporary and will be restored after the slope repair is completed. The
trail will be repaired and functional after the project is completed. The Rolling Hills Community
Association will oversee the repair to the trail.
Failure to promptly repair the slope would lengthen the time of temporary impact. Rock outcroppings may be
temporarily impacted, but the site will be safer after grading is completed. The site will be restored to its prior
condition after remediation is completed which is expected to take approximately six months. The affected
areas will be re-vegetated with native plants in accordance with an approved plan.
The project will accommodate the development of a single story home on a new pad at the bottom of the
canyon and therefore due to this location and low density type of permanent development, it is not expected
that any new types or amounts of light sources would result in glare to surrounding properties or impair
nighttime views.
Item II. AGRICULTURE
a-c NO IMPACT
The proposed project is located on privately owned property that is not zoned for agricultural
purposes, and there are no commercial agricultural resources present on the subject site. No further
analysis is required.
Item III. AIR QUALITY
a LESS THAN SIGNIFICNANT IMPACT
The proposed project site is within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which is in the jurisdiction of
the South Coast air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SCQMD establishes the Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the SCAB, which sets forth a comprehensive program that
lead the SCAB into compliance with all Federal and State air quality standards, which the applicant
will have to comply with. The proposed project involves earthwork with cut and fill balanced on the
site, within an existing urbanized area and is consistent with the local land use plans. The project will
accommodate a net increase of one dwelling unit on an existing vacant subdivided lot and therefore
the project is not growth-inducing. Therefore impacts would be minimal and no further analysis would
be required.
b-e. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
The proposed project will not violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
or projected air quality violation, will not contribute to a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or create
objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people and will have a less than significant
impact on the existing environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures.
During construction, dust and objectionable odors will be created. However, this will be a temporary
impact. Standard grading dust control measures will be implemented into the grading plan.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 15
ZC. No. 757,3 Appaloosa
• i
The impact on air quality as a result of the proposed grading is less than significant with the
incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures as follows.
Mitigation Measures
1. The property owners shall be required to conform with South Coast Air Quality Management District,
Los Angeles County and local ordinances and engineering practices during construction by using
dust control measures to stabilize the soil from wind erosion and reduce dust generated by
construction activities.
Fugitive Dust
a. A Comprehensive Fugitive Dust Control Program shall be developed and implemented before
commencement of grading activities, subject to review and approval of the City Planning
Department and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). This Plan, at
minimum,shall address compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, including:
-Regular site watering
-Application of soil stabilizers to inactive graded areas
-Covering and/or washing of transport trucks leaving the site
- Periodic street cleaning of public roads adjacent to the site
b. A High Wind Response Plan in accordance with Rule 403 of the SCAQMD shall be developed
and implemented at times when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to reduce emissions. The High
Wind Response Plan shall be developed and implemented before commencement of grading
activities,subject to review and approval of the City Planning Department and the SCAQMD.
c. Stockpiles of soil, sand and similar materials shall be stabilized by being covered, watered a
minimum of twice daily,or with application of non-toxic soil binders.
Construction Equipment Exhaust
d. Heavy construction equipment shall be properly tuned and maintained to reduce emissions.
Construction equipment shall be fitted with the most modern emission control devices. The
construction manager shall monitor compliance with this measure and is subject to periodic
inspections by City Building Inspectors.
e. The project shall comply with Rule 461, which establishes requirements for vapor control from the
transfer of fuel from the fuel truck to vehicles both during construction and subsequent
operations.
Item IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
a, d-f The main project site will be developed with a new single family home upon completion of the
proposed earthwork and building pad, in compliance with all applicable zoning and development
standards. No additional development (other than remedial grading) is proposed for either of the
adjoining sites - the existing houses, garages and swimming pools will remain in their existing
condition. The affected area consists of approximately 2.89 total acres out of a total of 12.8 gross
acres. The large lot, estate density single-family development that will occur provides the opportunity
to retain substantial amounts of existing habitat. The General Plan and Zoning Code of the City of
Rolling Hills set forth requirements that single-family structural development on a lot be limited to a
maximum of 20% of the net lot area; that total development of structural and flatwork (paved)
development on a lot be limited to a maximum of 35% of the net lot area, and that the maximum
disturbed area including graded areas be limited to a maximum of 40% of the net lot area. City
policies also encourage the retention, use, and maintenance of native drought-tolerant vegetation in
landscaping.

Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall be required to prepare a biological assessment in the form of a Biological
Resources Assessment Study. Said study shall contain minimally the following tasks: 1) Search of
database and literature, including the review of sensitive biological resource occurrence records
contained within the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the California Native Plant
Community Society (CNPS) rare plant inventory. The purpose of this task will be to compile a list of
special status species occurrences within and immediately adjacent to the project area, and also to
assist in assessing the occurrence potential for other special-status species known from within the
vicinity of the project area. 2) Field Survey of project area to perform vegetation mapping, and to
assess wildlife habitat(s). Habitats to be assessed for potential to support special-status species.
Species list to be compiled of all plant and wildlife species observed on and directly adjacent to
project site; visual scan to be performed of adjacent areas for identifying habitats of special —status
species within 500 feet of project boundaries. Vegetation results to be used to evaluate the need for
conducting focused surveys, mitigation measures for special —status species, and re-vegetation
recommendations. 3) Biological Resources Assessment Technical Report to include: Introduction with
environmental setting and description of project location; Methods description for literature review,
database search, field surveys and assessments for special-status species occurrence, Description of
results of databases and mapping; Discussion of distribution of biological features within project area;
Assessment of potential project impacts to biological resources; and Recommendations for mitigation.
The Study shall be reviewed, evaluated and acted upon by the Planning Commission as part of the
environmental assessment and prior to a decision on the project site Plan Review during the public
hearing process. The applicant shall incur the cost for preparation of the biological assessment
study and shall be required to comply with all mitigation measures recommended in the biological
assessment as approved by the City.
2. During the plan review process, the applicant will be required to submit plans to the Los Angeles
County Fire Department for determination of Fuel Modification Zone and related re-vegetation
requirements. The remainder of no-structure areas outside of the designated Fuel Modification Zone
will be planted in accordance with recommendations of the Vegetation Survey.
3. Site Plan Review for this project by the Planning Commission, if approved, shall include the following
conditions with respect to mitigation for loss of mature native vegetation in protected areas:
a. Any grading shall be returned to the existing topography, flora, and natural features to the
greatest extent possible. In order to minimize impacts to the hillsides and canyon areas on
this property, the graded slopes shall be designed and developed in a manner that retains
and restores native drought-tolerant plant life and preserves the existing contiguous
topography, flora, and natural features of that area to the greatest extent possible. Mitigation
by re-vegetation shall be at a minimum of 2:1, or as otherwise recommended in the biological
study. Grading and all other activities in the easements shall be reviewed and approved by
the Rolling Hills Community Association.
b. To prevent construction equipment from going beyond the limits of the site, contractors shall
use fencing or other barriers to the greatest extent possible. Contractors shall be informed
that work on the site shall not encroach into natural vegetation areas except as specified on
the approved Site Plan to the greatest extent possible.
c. No grading, development, or removal of live mature vegetation shall be permitted in areas not
approved for remediation. In the event removal or thinning of mature natural vegetation is
required to comply with Fire Department Regulations, the least invasive technique shall be
utilized.
d. Prior to the issuance of any grading permit, a biologist or native plant specialist approved by
the City shall meet with the general contractor and grading contractor to explain the
boundaries of the project, the boundaries of those areas permitted to be removed by an
approved Site Plan, and the restrictions contained in this condition.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 17
ZC. No. 757, 3 Appaloosa
• •
e. No contractor, operator of a bulldozer or other equipment or other construction worker on the
site shall allow equipment, supplies or soil to encroach into the area not being remediated.
f. No chemicals, including but not limited to fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, detergents,
chlorine or pool chemicals, shall be used, disposed of, or allowed to drain into adjacent
areas, except fertilizers approved by a City approved biologist.
g. The actual size of the mitigation area shall be based upon acreage of areas that are
disturbed, or are planned to be disturbed in connection with the slope repair. Nothing
contained in this condition shall limit the authority of the City to require additional areas or
greater areas of the parcel to be re-vegetated with native and drought tolerant plants to
mitigate additional impacts, if any.
h. Mitigation areas shall be planted with native and drought tolerant plants as specified in the
required biological study, unless otherwise required by the Planning Commission or the City
Council. All requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, U.S. Department of
Fish and Game as well as other agencies reviewing this project shall be met.
A bond in the amount of the cost estimate of the implementation of a re-vegetation and
landscape plan plus 15%, shall be required to be posted prior to issuance of a grading and
building permit and shall be retained with the City for not less than two years after landscape
installation. The retained bond will be released not sooner than two years after the initial
plantings, after the City determined that landscaping was installed pursuant to the landscape
plan as approved, and that such landscaping is properly established and in good condition. In
the event that another agency such as the U.S. Department of Fish and Game, after
reviewing this Initial Study and mitigation measures, determines that additional study,
replanting or other measures must be taken, pursuant to State Law, the applicant shall be
required to implement such measures.
j. Following the initial plantings, a biologist or native plant specialist shall prepare a report for
the City of Rolling Hills on the progress of re-vegetation on the site along with recommended
remedial measures, if needed, prior to the City reimbursing the landscaping bond funds.
k. The applicant shall comply with the report to be prepared by the biologist, including the re-
vegetation of specified type of plants, planting schedule, soil treatment procedures and
establishment of a soil ecosystem, irrigation, time for recovery, care and maintenance, and
monitoring.
b,c. NO IMPACT
The site does not contain any areas defined as federally protected wetlands (per Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act) nor is located in a riparian community of plans and animals, therefore no further
analysis is required.
Item V. CULTURAL RESOURCES
a-d. NO IMPACT
No known resources exist on site per Section 15064.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines and the project
is located in a fully developed neighborhood. At such it is very unlikely that the presence of unique
paleontological resources exist. No formal cemeteries are known to have occupied the proposed
project area. However, should any unique artifacts or human remains be found during the grading
and construction process, the contractor shall be required to stop all work and the applicant will be
required to consult an archeologist, pursuant to the California Public Resources Code, Section 5097.
Therefore, there is no impact and no further analysis is required.
Item VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 18
ZC. No.757,3 Appaloosa
•
a(i)(ii)(iii) NO IMPACT. The project is not located within the Alquist-Priolo special study zone.Therefore,
there is no impact and no further analysis is required.
a(iv)b,c,d,e LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION MEASURES/LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
Although approval of the grading and fill of this project will not result in creation of new unstable earth
conditions or in changes in geologic substructures, portions of the City exhibit unstable earth
conditions, including active slope failure and soil creep on subject property.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes a Landslide Hazard Overlay to carefully
regulate development in unstable areas. Grading, excessive irrigation, and/or increased septic tank
discharge in unstable areas may trigger slope failure. Because the City is located in seismically active
southern California, additional development will be exposed to potential ground shaking in the event
of an earthquake, but not as a result of this project. The Palos Verdes fault, considered potentially
active, is located approximately one mile northeast of the City limits.
The entire City of Rolling Hills, including this site, is underlain by expansive soil that requires soils and
geology reports for any new building structures.
An ancient landslide area has been found in this location. The goal of the applicant is to create a
building pad on the vacant lot portion (Lot 246). The proposed slope stabilization involving removal
and re-compaction of the soil is expected to conform to local ordinances and engineering practices
requiring balanced cut and fill and could be potentially significant unless mitigation is incorporated.
However, the project is to correct a slope failure condition and the lots will be more stable after the
grading activity than before.
A septic tank system will be required to be constructed as part of the development, as there is no
sewer system in the City. During slope remediation and grading tests for septic system location will
be performed.A preliminary location for the system has been established previously.
Also, during the grading, it is expected that removal of natural vegetative cover, may potentially cause
an increase in soil erosion by wind action or storm runoff. This reduction of vegetative cover and the
increased runoff associated with development may cause a slight increase in the soil deposition,
siltation, or erosion in or near the ocean. However, this will be a temporary condition and the site is
several miles away from the ocean, and precautions will be taken to prevent any soil erosion or
slippage during the repair. The site will be re-vegetated and the effect will be less than significant with
mitigation incorporation.
Mitigation Measures
1. An Erosion Control Plan containing the elements set forth in the County of Los Angeles Uniform
Building Code shall be prepared to minimize erosion and to protect slopes and channels to control
stormwater pollution as required by the County of Los Angeles.
2. The applicant shall submit a geotechnical report for review and approval by the County of Los
Angeles Geologist prior to issuance of a grading permit. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final
grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with
related geology, soils and hydrology reports must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning
Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope
ratio.
3. Intensive geotechnical review and supervision shall be required throughout the time the project is
ongoing.
4. As part of the soils and geology report, location for a future septic tank to serve the new single family
residence will be established. All applicable State and County requirements pertaining to septic tanks
construction and maintenance shall be complied with.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 19
ZC. No. 757,3 Appaloosa
Item VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
a-h. NO IMPACT
The City's Building &Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Rolling Hills Community
Association carefully regulate grading and compaction activities and construction. No hazardous
materials have been identified on site and none will be transported or used in the remediation of this
site. Therefore, there is no impact and no further analysis is required.
Item VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
a. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
The proposed project includes the grading of 150,000 total cubic yards of earth for the purpose of
constructing a building pad for a future single family home, and to stabilize the canyon slopes on two
contiguous properties (all grading balancing cut and fill on site). The project will be required to be in
compliance with existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements,
provide Best Management Practices for the construction process and submit a drainage report for
review and approval of the Los Angeles County Building Official. In order to ensure that the proposed
project will be in compliance with water quality standards and wastewater discharge requirements
during and after construction, the following mitigation measures will be added:
Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall submit and obtain approval of a drainage report from the Los Angeles County
Building Official, prior to issuance of any Grading Permits and/or a Building Permit for new
construction.
2. The applicant shall submit and obtain approval of a Local Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) to the City of Rolling Hills and Los Angeles County Building Official, prior to issuance of any •
Grading Permits and/or a Building Permit for new construction.
3. The applicant shall submit and obtain approval of a Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan
(SUSMP) to the City of Rolling Hills and Los Angeles County Building Official, prior to issuance of any
Grading Permits and/or a Building Permit for new construction.
4. The applicant shall submit a Notice of Intent to the State Water Resource Control Board under the
General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit for grading of one acre or more of land area.
b,f,g,h,i,j, NO IMPACT
The proposed project does not involve the construction of any facility, which would require the use of
groundwater supplies. Although the project involves the construction of one single family residence, in
terms of flooding, according to the revised flood maps prepared by FEMA, the site does not fall within
flood hazard area. The project is not located within a dam inundation area and is not subject to a
seiche or tsunami due to its distance from the ocean.
c,d,e. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
The proposed project may alter drainage patterns, increase runoff and reduce water absorption.
However, such effect will be temporary in nature.As the area is re-filled, compacted and re-vegetated
drainage patterns will be restored to current standards.
A septic tank system will be installed in the future for the residence accommodated by the grading
work. This installation shall be in accordance with all applicable permits and regulations of the City of
Rolling Hills and Los Angeles County.
Mitigation Measures
1. The property owners shall be required to conform to County Health Department requirements for the
installation and maintenance of septic tanks.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 20
ZC. No. 757,3 Appaloosa
• S L
2. An Erosion Control Plan per County of Los Angeles Uniform Building Code requirements shall be
prepared to minimize erosion and to protect slopes and channels to control stormwater pollution as
required by the County of Los Angeles.
3. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check,
a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports must be
submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review.
Item IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING.
a-b. NO IMPACT
The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes the maintenance of strict grading practices to
preserve the community's natural terrain and the Building & Construction and Zoning Ordinances
require a balanced cut and fill ratio. No export or import of soil is proposed for this project. The project
is subject to approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. The proposed cut and fill
quantities of 150,000 cubic yards of soil each will require the approval of a Site Plan Review through
a public hearing process. Therefore, there is no impact and no further analysis is required.
c. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
While the project will not conflict with the Open Space and Conservation Element of the Rolling Hills
General Plan, a biological assessment shall be required and the project shall comply with mitigation
measures recommended in the biological assessment as approved by the City.Any conflict with State
Plans for habitat and natural community conservation will be temporary. Therefore, the project will
be less than significant because mitigation measures will be incorporated.
Mitigation Measures
1. A biological study shall be prepared and it will be required that all recommendations are
adhered to. If other local or state agencies impose additional mitigation measure, the applicant shall be
required to comply with those recommendations as well.
Item X. MINERAL RESOURCES
a-b NO IMPACT
There are no known mineral resources present within the community. Further, the General Plan does
not delineate the sites a locally important mineral resource recovery sites. Therefore, there is no
impact and no further analysis is required.
Item Xl. NOISE
a,b,d LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
The goal of the City of Rolling Hills' Noise Element is to preserve and enhance Rolling Hills' quiet
rural atmosphere and promotes the use of landscaping to obscure noise production from roadways
and adjacent properties. As stated previously, there will be intermittent loud noise levels during
grading operation that will be temporary or periodic in nature.
Mitigation Measures
1. Although approval of the project will result in intermittent loud noise levels during grading operation,
and construction the noise will be temporary. During construction, the property owners shall be
required to schedule and regulate construction activities including related traffic, and therefore limit
noise throughout the day between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday only,
when construction and mechanical equipment noise is permitted so as not to interfere with the quiet
residential environment and normal flow of traffic of the City of Rolling Hills.
2. The contractor shall be required to install on all vehicles and construction equipment properly
maintained and operating mufflers and other state required noise attenuation devices.
3. During grading and construction operations, trucks shall not park, queue and/or idle at the project
site or in the adjoining right-of-way before or after the permitted hours of operations.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 21
ZC. No. 757,3 Appaloosa
4. There shall be no staging of equipment or accumulation of vehicles on Appaloosa Lane. All staging
and parking shall be on the subject site.
c,e,f NO IMPACT
The proposed project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public
airport. The project is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, there is no impact and
no further analysis is required.
Item XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING
a-c. NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not induce a substantial amount of population growth in the area. The
project consists of construction of a single family residence, therefore, adding one family to the city
population. The project will not displace any housing and there is no impact, and therefore no
additional assessment is required.
Item XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. NO IMPACT
With the addition of single family residence, there will be no impact on parks, police or fire resources.
The residence will incorporate interior fire suppression devices required by the Los Angeles County Fire
Department and will be constructed in accordance with applicable building codes. The level of use with one
single family residence is not expected to impact police, fire and other services. There is no impact, and
therefore no additional assessment is required.
Item XIV. RECREATION
a,b. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
The impact on neighborhood and regional parks and recreational facilities of the proposed project is
expected to be less than significant. The goals of the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
General Plan that include continuing the City's program of acquisition and development of
strategically located recreation centers, encouraging the maintenance and improvement of the
system of hiking and equestrian trails in Rolling Hills through the Community Association,
encouraging the continued upkeep of all City-owned recreation facilities within Rolling Hills, and
providing expanded recreational opportunities for children do not conflict with the goals of the subject
project. Although the existing equestrian trail (Glory Trail) in the project area will be affected during
the grading operation, this is a temporary condition (lasting approximately six months), and the
applicant will be required to restore and improve the equestrian trail after grading to the
satisfaction of the Rolling Hills Community Association.
Item XV. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC
a. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
Approval of the project will result in increased truck and construction vehicles traffic only during the
project grading and construction. The grading and related operations will be conducted within the
approved City work hours. The time frame for this project is approximately 6 months for grading, after
which time landscaping vehicle and equipment will traverse the City to access the site to implement
the requirements of the re-vegetation plan and construction of the residence. The effect on circulation
within the City during construction of the project could be potentially significant unless mitigation is
incorporated.
Mitigation Measures
1. During construction, the property owners shall be required to schedule and regulate truck traffic
throughout the day between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM Monday through Saturday only so as not to
interfere with the normal flow of traffic within the City of Rolling Hills.
2. The contractor is to encourage his employees to car-pool into the City.
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 22
ZC. No. 757,3 Appaloosa
•
3. During grading and construction operations, trucks shall not park, queue and/or idle at the project site
or in the adjoining right-of-way before or after the permitted hours of operations.
4. There shall be no staging of equipment or accumulation of vehicles on Appaloosa Lane. All staging
and parking shall be on the subject site.
5. During grading/construction proper construction signs shall be installed along the street warning
drivers of the construction.
6. The contractor shall ensure that there is no unnecessary delay of traffic along off site access
roads by heavy equipment blocking traffic.
7. Construction activities shall be organized so as not to interfere significantly with peak- hour traffic
and minimize obstruction of traffic lanes and if necessary, a flag person shall be retained to maintain
safety adjacent to the existing roadways
b. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
This project will not exceed either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established
by the county congestion management agency as there are no heavy congestion designated roads or
highways within the City of Rolling Hills.
c,d,e,f,g. NO IMPACT
The proposed project will not result in change in air traffic patterns. A driveway to the site has been
previously approved by the City's Traffic Commission and will be constructed to Fire Department
requirements. There be no impact and therefore no further analysis is required.
Item XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.
a,b,d,e,f,g NO IMPACT
With the construction of a single family residence no significant increase in wastewater and water
usage will result. No new treatment facilities will need to be constructed to accommodate the
development. There be no impact and therefore no further analysis is required.
c. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATION
The final restoration design of the equestrian trail may incorporate new culverts at the trail. The
County of Los Angeles and the Rolling Hills Community Association will make a determination as to
the requirements for new culverts, if any, after the land is stabilized. The result of such construction
will not cause significant effect on the environment. In fact it will correct drainage from the slopes into
the canyon and eventually onto the equestrian trail.
Mitigation Measures
1. The property owners shall be required to conform with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and
County Building Department requirements for the installation and maintenance of stormwater
drainage facilities, if additional facilities are required as a result of the restoration of the equestrian
trail.
2. The property owners shall be required to conform with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and
County Public Works Department Best Management Practices(BMP's) related to solid waste.
3. The property owners shall be required to comply with the requirements of the Rolling Hills Community
Association and the Los Angeles County Public Works Department for the construction of a culvert, if
required, at the equestrian trail.
4. The property owner will be required to provide adequate site drainage and comply with NPDES
standards and requirements.
5. The property owner will be required to comply with all applicable state, federal and local statutes and
regulations related to solid waste.

P
. . •
OTHER
1. Grading and all other activities conducted in the easements on subject property or across property
lines on adjacent properties shall be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community
Association.
2. The property owner shall be required to comply with the requirement that 50%of all construction
materials and debris be diverted and recycled. Verification of compliance shall be submitted to
staff.
3. Utility lines to the new residence and accessory structures shall be placed underground.
4. The applicant shall be required to comply with the City's requirements for Class "A" roof material
and construction, requirements of the lighting ordinance, and all other City and County of Los
Angeles construction requirements.
Item XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. It is anticipated that the project may have the potential to insignificantly degrade the quality of the
environment, non-substantially reduce the habitat of wildlife species, cause wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory. However, such impacts will be temporary. Careful
grading supervision and re-vegetation as described in a biological report (required during this
assessment) will restore the habitat for the plant and animal community. A biological assessment
report will be required in accordance with Mitigation Measure for Biological Resources above, and the
project shall comply with mitigation measures as recommended in the biological assessment plan.
b. The project may have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable because the
project, as proposed, requires a substantial amount of grading for geological repair and remediation.
Proposed grading for the project will require a cut of 150,000 cubic yards of soil and fill of 150,000
cubic yards of soil. This project is one of the largest grading operations undertaken in the City of
Rolling Hills. However, the grading is necessary to restore stability of several properties and
accommodate the development of the residential site.
c, This project is not expected to result in environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Incorporation of the mitigation measures with
close engineering supervision will offset any potential impacts.

the plant biologist be present at the meeting. Please note that inadequate staking may
result in postponement of the case to another month.

and the following requirements:
A . A full -size silhouette in conformance with the
attached guidelines must be prepared for ALL
STRUCTURES of the project showing the footprints
and roof ridges indicating heights ;

during the field trip visit would be able to view the
silhouette and comment to the City prior to the meeting .
