Mtg. Date: 1/22/96 DATE: JANUARY 22, 1996 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ATTENTION: CRAIG R. NEALIS, CITY MANAGER FROM: LOLA M. UNGAR, PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 96-1: A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE WITH LOFT AND CORRAL AREA THAT REQUIRE GRADING IN ZONING CASE NO. 535. Mr. Bernard Howroyd, 7 Maverick Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 28-SK). BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission approved the subject resolution on January 16, 1996 at their regular meeting. 1. The applicant is requesting Site Plan Review to construct a 1,294 square foot stable with loft and a 3,266 square foot corral area that require grading. 2. A previous application for the same stable with loft and corral area was approved by the Planning Commission on September 7, 1993. On September 20, 1994, the Planning Commission approved a one year time extension. The time extension expired on September 7, 1995. Section 17.46.080(B)(3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires that any extension beyond the second anniversary of original approval may only be granted or denied in the same manner and based upon the same criteria as required for approval of the original project. Resolution No. 93-27 granting the approval is attached. We have also attached a table showing Site Plan Review requirements. 3. The existing house, attached garage, and swimming pool were constructed in 1960. The Planning Commission approved Variances to the front and side yard setbacks and Site Plan Review for substantial additions that included a detached subterranean garage but, these approvals expired on March 17, 1993. RESOLUTION NO. 96-1 PAGE 1 ®Panted an RecY..f,d v A request for a Variance to encroach into the side yard setback to construct an attached garage was denied on September 7, 1993 and the denial was upheld by the City Council on January 24, 1994. Retaining walls and the residence encroach up to 33' into the 50' front yard setback and up to 34' into the 35' southwest side yard setback. A building permit for a 440 square foot attached garage to be constructed within allowable setbacks was issued in 1994 but, not as yet finalled. 4. Portions of the existing slope will be removed and recompacted to maintain existing grades and are outlined with a dashed line on the attached plot plan. Grading will require 110 cubic yards of cut soil and 110 cubic yards of fill soil and is shown on the plot plan by a textured gray area. 5. Access to the stable and corral will be from the existing cul-de-sac off Maverick Lane through the easement at the northern portion of the lot and traverses the lot diagonally past the existing driveway to the southeastern side of the lot. The Zoning Ordinance requires a maximum slope of 4:1 or 25% for access to a stable or corral. The slope of the access easement varies from 20% near Maverick Lane, 21% as the access route passes the residence, and an average slope of 14.8%. 6. The 7,277 square foot residential building pad has an 84.22% structural coverage. The building pad coverage on the stable and corral building pad is 28.4%, and there is a total building pad coverage of 63.5%. 7. The disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 29,184 square feet or 26.7% (40% maximum). Much of the residential building pad is relatively flat and currently paved. 8. The structural lot coverage proposed is 7,517 square feet or 6.9% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 16,050 square feet or 14.7% (35% permitted). 9. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

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. Bernard Howroyd with respect to real property located at 7 Maverick Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 28-SK) requesting Site Plan Review for a stable with loft and corral area that require grading. Section 2. A previous application for the same stable with loft and corral area was approved by the Planning Commission on September 7, 1993. On September 20, 1994, the Planning Commission approved a one year time extension. The time extension expired on September 7, 1995. Section 17.46.080(B)(3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires that any extension beyond the second anniversary of original approval may only be granted or denied in the same manner and based upon the same criteria as required for approval of the original project. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for Site Plan Review on December 19, 1995. Section 4. Section 17.46.030 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 may be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to 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 25% in any 36-month period. Section 5. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 109,197 square feet. The proposed stable (1,294 sq.ft.), existing residence (4,964 sq.ft.), garage (540 sq.ft.), existing swimming pool (623 sq.ft.), and existing service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 7,517 square feet which constitutes 6.9% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The RESOLUTION NO. 96-1 PAGE 1 OF 5 total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 16,050 square feet which equals 14.7% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. Coverage on the lower stable pad will be 28.4% which is similar in size to several neighboring developments. B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structure will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further, the proposed project on a lower pad will have a buildable pad coverage of 28.4%. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain trail access near the northern property line and scenic vistas across the northeasterly portions of the property. C . The proposed stable and corral is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of other structures in the neighborhood. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. D. The proposed development on the lower pad preserves and integrates into the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing natural topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed stable and, corral, existing residence and existing neighboring residences. E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area because grading will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed stable and corral, existing residence and existing neighboring residences, and the grading will be limited to 110 cubic yards of cut soil and 110 cubic yards of fill soil. F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow because grading after development will follow the natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyon which exists along the eastern side of this lot. G. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and, with the conditions attached to this approval, supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and is compatible with and enhances the rural RESOLUTION NO. 96-1 PAGE 2 OF 5 vegetation and mature trees and is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. Existing landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between properties. The area proposed for development of the stable and corral is partially graded and without significant vegetation. Thus, this project will not have a significant effect on natural topographic features and native vegetation. H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize Maverick Lane for access. Also, the existing driveway is located at the end of a cul-de-sac street which will therefore create little interference with traffic. I. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 535 for a proposed stable with loft, and corral development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 7. Section 7. The Site Plan Review for a stable with loft, and corral that require grading approved in Section 6 is subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080(A). B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, the Permitshall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days. C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise approved by Variance. D. The stable, loft and corral shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. Grading shall not exceed 110 cubic yards of cut soil and 110 cubic yards of fill soil. RESOLUTION NO. 96-1 PAGE 3 OF 5 F. The stable loft shall have no glazed openings and the loft area shall be limited in use to the storage of feed, tack, and stable equipment. G. All free-standing retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. H. The building pad coverage for the stable and corral shall not exceed 28.4%. I. '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 that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio. J. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. K. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan approved with this application. L. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Site Plan Review, or the approval shall not be effective. M. All conditions of this Site Plan Review approval must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.
