THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. Joseph Czyzyk, with respect to real property located at 0 Buggy Whip Drive (Lot 175-A-2-MS) and 25 Crest Road West (Lot 175-A-1-MS) for a Site Plan Review, Variances and a Lot Line Adjustment between the two parcels of land that will result in a net transfer of 5 gross square feet from the property at 0 Buggy Whip Drive to the property at 25 Crest Road West. Four Variances are requested: 1) altering non -conforming structural lot coverage, 2) not meeting the minimum frontage along a roadway easement as required by code, 3) creating a new structural encroachment into a side yard setback, and 4) worsening an existing legal non -conforming condition as to the size of one of the lots. 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. (Id.) Section 3. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code also provides a procedure for the. preparation, filing, processing, and approval or denial of a lot line adjustment application consistent with the policies of the general plan and the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act. (See Chapter 16.44 of the . Rolling Hills Municipal Code.) The Planning Commission, in approving a lot line adjustment, shall adopt conditions only as necessary to conform the adjustment parcels to the requirements of Title 17 (Zoning) and Title 15 (Building and Construction), or to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, trails or easements. (See RHMC Section 16.44.040.) Reso. 2018-09 0 Buggy Whip / 25 Crest Road West 1 Lot Line Adjustment / Lot line adjustment l4/ Section 4. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing at the site on July 17, 2018 and continued the public hearing to the regular evening meeting. At that time, the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution of approval. No neighboring residents inquired about the proposed lot line adjustment. Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15305, Class 5 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 6. RHMC Section 16.44.040 requires the Planning Commission to make findings in order to approve a lot line adjustment application. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, in connection with this application and with respect to the lot line adjustment application and makes the following findings: A. The adjustment will not have the effect of creating a greater number of parcels than existed before the adjustment. B. The parcels resulting from the adjustment will not conflict with any applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance with approval of the variances. Both of the parcels are in the RAS-2 zone and are under the two net acre minimum lot size. According to RHMC Section 17.16.060, parcels of record which, prior to the adoption of the current standard requiring,each parcel in the RAS-2 zone to have two net acres, had smaller than the currently required lot area shall be considered to have the required area. Both of these parcels were legally created, and thus, are legal nonconforming. This lot line adjustment will not change the nonconforming status of both lots by any more than 5 gross square feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Parcel 1 having 2.0 gross acres and 1.47 net acres and Parcel 2 having 2.28 gross acres and 1.65 net acres. As a result, the legal nonconformity is only intensified or expanded by 0.03 net acre for the property at 0 Buggy Whip Drive and reduced on the other parcel by 0.01 net acre, an increase in size. The parcels resulting from the adjustment will not conflict with any applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance after Variances are granted. C. The adjustment will not result in an increase in the number of nonconforming parcels. Section 16.16.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 47.16.060(A) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RAS-2 Zone shall have a net area of not less than eighty seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet, (2.0 acres). The lot line adjustment will not change the number of nonconforming parcels. There will be two parcels under two net acres as it was prior to the lot line adjustment. . Section 7. Section 17.46.050 of RHMC requires the Commission to make findings in order to approve a site plan review application. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, in connection with this Reso. 2018-09 2 0 Buggy Whip / 25 Crest Road West ' Lot Line Adjustment / Lot line adjustment 15 applicationand with respect to the Site Plan application for the lot line adjustment and makes the following findings: A. The proposed lot line adjustment is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the existing structures will not changed and comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures and maintaining sufficient setbacks to provide buffers between residential uses. And the uses on the lots promote the rural aesthetic of Rolling Hills. B. The lot line adjustment substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot as there is no additional development proposed at this time. C. The existing conditions of the lots are harmonious in scale and mass with the sites, and are consistent with the scale of the neighborhood in the City. Since the lot line adjustment will not change the number of nonconforming lots the properties are not any less consistent with the scale of the neighborhood in the City. The two lots are also harmonious in scale and mass since there is no construction on either of the two lots. D. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls). There will be no construction on the property, and therefore the project preserves and the existing topographic features of the site. E. The grading on the property has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area. There will be no grading on the property, and therefore the natural contours of the site will not change. F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course. There will be no grading on the property, and therefore the natural contours of the site will not change. G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. There will be no construction on the property, and therefore the surrounding native vegetation and mature trees will be preserved. H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because there is no Reso. 2018-09 3 0 Buggy Whip / 25 Crest Road West Lot Line Adjustment / Lot line adjustment change in ingress/egress aldng the two roadway easements or roadway improvements along the borders of the property. I. The project conforms to the requirements of CEQA. As stated above, the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15305, Class 5 of the CEQA. Section 8. With respect to the Lot Line Adjustment approval and Site Plan Review approval, the Planning Commission imposes the following conditions:. A. The Lot Line Adjustment approval shall expire within two years from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of this section. C. The lot line adjustment approval shall not in any way constitute any representation that the adjusted lots can be developed even if in compliance with current zoning and building ordinance standards. No development, including study of soils, geology, hydrology, grading, and other requirements, shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. D. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review or other ordinances or code to the lots at such time as an application is made for development. E. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Resolution for approval to be effective. F. There shall be easements within the adjusted boundaries of the lots, as required by the Rolling Hills Community Association. Section 16.20.230 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that easements, the width of which are to be determined by the RHCA, be dedicated for bridle trail and utility purposes over the strips and portions of land within and abutting upon the property lines and will be recorded concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment. The maps and legal descriptions showing the new property lines shall be attached to the Certificate of Compliance, which shall be a separate recorded document. G. The Certificate of Compliance shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment, and including the required easements and trails, if any, are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval of the legal descriptions of the new adjusted lines a 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. Reso. 2018-09 4 0 Buggy Whip / 25 Crest Road West Lot Line Adjustment / Lot line adjustment H. The applicant shall record the deeds of the properties effectuating the transfer concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for the Lot Line Adjustment and shall submit proof of such recordation to the City of Rolling Hills. Section 9. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance granting relief from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity or zone. A variance from the requirements of Sections 16.16.040„17.16.060, 17.16.070 and 17.16.120 of the Zoning Ordinance are required for 1) altering non -conforming structural lot coverage, 2) not meeting the minimum frontage along a roadway easement as required by code, 3) creating a new structural encroachment into a side yard setback, and 4) worsening an existing legal non -conforming condition as to the size of one of the lots. With respect to the aforementioned request for variances, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional circumstances and conditions on Parcel 1, including the shape of the lot, all of which constrain access and development. 0 Buggy Whip is a flag lot and the lot line adjustment will result in a wider access point for the property. The increase in the width of the frontage of the flag lot enables a wider driveway for vehicular access. B. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of Parcel 1 possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question by strict application of the code.
