Sincer ly, LOLA UNGA PRINCIPAL PLANNER ENC: RESOLUTION NOS. 96-13 & 96-14 EXHIBIT A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT PLAN AFFIDAVIT OF ACCEPTANCE FORM APPEAL SECTION OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE. cc: Mr. Douglas McHattie ZONING CASE NO. 541 (A&B) • toc4/(v- 11 RESOLUTION NO. 96-13 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROPERTY AT 1 CREST ROAD EAST AND 4 CINCHRING ROAD IN ZONING CASE NO. 541A. 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. Paul L. Saffo, III and Mr. Lon R. Clearwaters with respect to real property located at 1 Crest Road East and 4 Cinchring Road (Irregular Lots 1-FT and 6-CH) requesting a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move the common side lot lines dividing these two parcels easterly so that a triangular portion of existing Lot 1-FT is placed into Lot 6- CH. 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 two or more 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. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application at a regular meeting and at a field trip .visit on June 18, 1996. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 5 exemption provided by Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, presented in connection with this application and finds as follows: A. Section 16.16.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(A) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RA-S-1 Zone shall have a net area of not less than forty-three thousand five hundred sixty square feet (1.0 acre) and each lot in any subdivision in RESOLUTION NO. 96-13 PAGE 1OF4 • • the RA-S-2 Zone shall have a net area of not less than eighty-seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). Lot 1-FT is located in the RA-S-2 Zone and Lot 6-CH is located in the RA-S-1 Zone. The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Lot 1-FT to be 2.41 net acres and Lot 6-CH to be 1.8 net acres after excluding easements. The full portion of each reconfigured lot will remain in its existing zone by the clerical adjustment of the zoning boundary to the new lot line boundaries. B. Section 16.16.020 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(B)(3) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance require that in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles or radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The existing sidelines of both lots are approximately at right angles or radial to the street. The proposed adjustment will allow the westerly side lot line of Lot 1-FT to be parallel to the curve of Portuguese Bend Road and the front and rear lot lines to be approximately at right angles or radial to Crest Road. The proposed adjustment will allow the sidelines of irregular Lot 6-CH to be approximately parallel to each other and radial to the curved Cinchring and Portuguese Bend Roads. C. Section 16.20.230 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that ten (10) foot wide easements be dedicated for bridle trail and utility purposes over the strips and portions of land within and abutting upon the sidelines and rear lines of each lot. The proposed adjustment will require the relocation of existing easements so that an existing "L" shaped easement that borders the interior of the existing Lot 1-FT will be relocated along the westerly side of Portuguese Bend Road and will result in a 10 foot wide easement along the easterly side lot line of the adjusted Lot 6-CH along Portuguese Bend Road north to the center of Cinchring Road. D. Conditions have been attached to this approval which provide that it will not impair or limit the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance to any future development of Lot 1-FT or Lot 6-CH. Section 6. In accordance with the foregoing findings, a Conditional Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment sought in Zoning Case No 541A as indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved as a Conditional Certificate of Compliance subject to the following conditions: A. There exists an "L" shaped private easement shown on the assessor's map that currently exists on the westerly side of Portuguese Bend Road within the current boundaries of Lot 1-FT that has an eighty (80) foot width [forty (40) feet on each side of the centerline of that easement] for the vertical north -south segment of the "L" and a sixty (60) foot width [thirty (30) feet on each side of the centerline of that easement] for the horizontal east -west segment of the "L." That portion of this easement that will exist within the proposed new boundaries of Lot 6-CH after this lot line adjustment shall be relocated and decreased in size to a ten (10) foot wide easement abutting and following the western boundary of the existing Portuguese RESOLUTION NO. 96-13 PAGE 2 OF 4 Bend Road easement from the centerline of Cinchring Road on the north to the terminus of the existing "L" shaped easement at its intersection with Portuguese Bend Road on the south. The map attached to the Conditional Certificate of Compliance, referred hereto as Exhibit "A" shall delineate and note the easement specified in this paragraph." B. The lot line adjustment shall not in any way constitute any representation that Lot 1-FT and Lot 6-CH can be redeveloped in compliance with current zoning and building ordinance standards although a single family residence exists on each lot. No development shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance (Ordinance No 221, 1988) to Lot 1-FT and Lot 6-CH at such time as an application is made for development. D. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect waive, release or be construed to supersede any restriction, dedication or condition set forth on Final Tract Map Nos. 27516 and 26343, and all such matters are hereby reserved. E. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment, and including, the required easements as specified in Paragraph A of Section 6 are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval of the legal description, the Conditional Certificate of Compliance shall be issued by the City, shall be recorded by the property owner in the offices of the Los Angeles County Recorder, and evidence of the recordation shall be returned to the City. F. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of conditions or this Lot Line Adjustment shall not be effective. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED ON THE 1 DAY' OF E, 1996.
