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 Dr. and Mrs. George A. Murrell with respect to real property located at 6 Packsaddle Road East, Rolling Hills (Lot 31- SF) requesting Site Plan Review to permit the construction of substantial room additions and garage space at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on April 18, 1994, May 17, 1994, and June 21, 1994, and at a field trip visit on May 7, 1994. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.46.020 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings or structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in the size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period, may be permitted. Section 6. With respect to the Site Plan Review application to construct 1,381 square feet of residential room additions and 400 square feet of additional garage space, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The granting of the request for Site Plan Review would not be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The construction of a 4,652 square foot residence, 885 square foot garage, and 605 square foot pool on this lot creates maximum structural lot coverage which is not compatible with the General Plan goals of maintaining low profile, low -density residential development patterns in the community. Specifically, building pad coverage (46.2%) is well in excess of the Planning Commission's general guidelines • RESOLUTION NO. 94-18 PAGE 2 (30% to 35%) and thus, will cause overdevelopment of the building pad. The pad is smaller and steeper than several neighboring developments. B. The project does not substantially preserve the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building pad 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 project will establish maximum structural coverage on the building pad so that coverage will be 46.2% which the Planning Commission finds to be excessive and not consistent with most of the existing development pattern in the City. C. The proposed development is not harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding -residences. As indicated in Paragraphs A and B, the proposed project is not consistent nor compatible with the scale and size of the existing building pad on the site. Overdevelopment and infill on the building pad will reduce the existing spaciousness of the residence on the pad. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby denies the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 511 for the construction of substantial room additions and garage space at an existing single family residence as shown on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A.
