A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SPA AND
SPA EQUIPMENT ON A LOT THAT CONTAINS A CONDITION THAT ANY
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT MUST BE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION AND WHICH IS DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, IN ZONING CASE NO. 782, AT 1
CREST ROAD EAST, (LOT 1-FT), (HUH). PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO
BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
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 Mr. and Mrs. Peter Huh with respect to real
property located at 1 Crest Road East (Lot 1-FT), Rolling Hills, CA requesting a Site Plan
Review 100 square foot spa and spa equipment area, on a property with a condition that any
development be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
Section 2. The Planning Commission held duly noticed public hearing on June 15, 2010
and at a field trip on June 15, 2010. The applicants and their representative were notified of the
public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all
persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff, and the
Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The property
owners and their representatives were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. In 2005 the Planning Commission granted approval for grading consisting of 445
cubic yards of cut and 445 cubic yards of fill, 2,690 square foot addition to the existing
residence, 976 square foot basement, 744 square foot guest house, 450 square feet future stable
with 550 square foot corral and 583 square foot swimming pool with spa. The disturbed area
was approved at 36.9%. No Variances were requested at that time. Three building pads were
approved that were separated by 2:1 slopes and the rear of the lot, where a pool was to be
located was on a different level than the main house. A 2:1 slope continued past the pool pad
towards Portuguese Bend Road to the rear.
Section 4. In May 2009, the Planning Commission approved a modification to the 2005
approval. The request for modification was to permit additional grading of 467 cubic yards of cut
and 467 cubic yards of fill for a total of 912 cubic yards, which was conducted prior to City's
review and approval of the additional grading and which caused exceedance of the maximum
allowed disturbance of the lot (54.2%), requiring a Variance.
Section 5. In January 2010, the Planning Commission approved, with one disapproving vote,
a swimming pool, which would encroach into the rear setback and a stable with corral, which
would be larger than originally approved. With that application the disturbed area would
increase by 0.4% of the originally approved. The City Council took the project under jurisdiction
and subsequently the property owners withdrew the request for the swimming pool and stable.
ZC NO. 782 1
•
Section 6. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3
Exemption (Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303) and is
therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act.
Section 7. Pursuant to Section 17.46.040 the Planning Commission may condition an approval
to require site plan review for any future construction on the property, regardless of whether site
plan review would ordinarily be applicable to such construction. With respect to the Site Plan
Review application, due to the restriction placed on this property in 2005 by the Planning
Commission on any future development on subject property, the proposed spa and spa equipment
area is required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Otherwise, this project would be
approved administratively. With respect to this project the Planning Commission makes the
following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, and surrounding
uses because the proposed project complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile,
low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures,
and equestrian uses. The project will not require grading nor exceed the disturbed area of the lot,
as previously approved. The proposed spa is of no significant size will be located on an existing
building pad.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot.
The proposed structure will be constructed on existing building pad in the backyard of the
residence. The project is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that it will not impact
the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property
without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. In addition, the
immediately adjacent property owners were in attendance at the public hearings and did not
object to the project.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with
the site. The proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to
properties in the vicinity. It is located close to the residence and will be located below surface
with no protruding structures above it.
D. The project will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of
the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience
and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will not
change the existing circulation pattern.
F. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act.
ZC NO.782 2

23.9%.
H. The structural coverage of the lot shall not exceed 10.95%, and the total lot
coverage shall not exceed 23.65%. The disturbed area shall remain at 54.2% of the net lot area.
I. The spa shall be screened from the neighbors with mature trees and shrubs.
Plants shall be planted so as not to obstruct views of neighboring properties but to screen the
spa on site. Trees and shrubs shall be planted in a manner, so that when mature, will not result
in a hedge like screen.
J. The existing landscaping along Portuguese Bend Road may remain, but no other
plants may be added, so that when mature, could result in a hedge like screen.
