D .AfT • RESOLUTION NO. 95-18 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A POOL HOUSE AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A POOL AREA THAT REQUIRES GRADING AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 530. 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 Ms. Colette Zee, Intex Corporation, with respect to real property located at 3 Crest Road West, Rolling Hills (Lot 115-1-RH) requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a pool house and a request for Site Plan Review for the development of a pool area that requires grading at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on September 19, 1995 and October 17, 1995, and at a field trip visit on September 30, 1995. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303(e) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. Sections 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a Cabana or pool house under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting to construct a 330 square foot pool house. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for a pool house structure would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the pool house would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a pool house will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed pool house is at a lower level than the residential building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the pool house will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. • • DRAFT C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the pool house will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 2.58 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 330 square foot size of the pool house does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because there is sufficient space on the lot for future development of a stable. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a pool house in accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 530 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9. Section 6. Section 17.46.010 Or the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading that requires a grading permit and 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 twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The proposed pool improvements require Site Plan Review because they require a grading permit. Section 7. 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 98,700 square feet. The residence (7,193 sq. ft.), garage (748 sq. ft.), proposed swimming pool (914 sq. ft.), proposed pool house (330 sq. ft.), future stable (450 sq. ft.), and service yard (328 sq.ft.) will have 10,638 square feet which constitutes 10.8% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway RESOLUTION NO. 95-18 PAGE 2 OF 6 • • DRAFT will be 19,267 square feet which equals 19.5% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with the proposed pool house located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development and is similar and compatible with several neighboring developments. B. The proposed development 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) and grading will be minimal to minimize building coverage on the building pad itself. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the northwest canyon at the rear of the lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. Some mature trees will have to be removed but, those trees will be replaced with significant landscape improvements. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to minimize the impact of development. F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences because as indicated in Paragraph A, lot coverage maximums will not be exceeded and the proposed project is of consistent scale with the neighborhood. Grading will be limited. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the existing vehicular access, thereby having no further impact on the roadway. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review for development of a pool area that requires RESOLUTION NO. 95-18 PAGE 3 OF 6 DRAFT grading as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A subject to the conditions contained in Section 9.

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 property on which the project is located shall contain an area of sufficient size to also provide an area meeting all standards for a stable and corral with vehicular access thereto. E. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 10,638 square feet or 10.8% and total lot coverage of structures and paved areas shall not exceed 19,267 square feet or 19.5%. F. Maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 39%. G. No sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be provided within the pool house. H. A drainage system approved by the City Engineer shall be incorporated into the overall plan of the pool area and landscaping. I. The landscape plan must be submitted for review by the Planning Department and include native drought -resistant vegetation that will not disrupt the impact of the views of neighboring properties prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. The landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and intent of the Site Plan Review Ordinance, shall incorporate, to the maximum extent feasible, existing mature trees and native vegetation, and shall RESOLUTION NO. 95-18 PAGE 4 OF 6 • • DRAFT utilize where feasible, plants that are native to the area and/or consistent with the rural character of the community.

They recommended that these elements be moved up the slope closer to the house (distance not specified). 2.0 We would like the pool to remain in it's current position for the following reasons: 2.1 View from Crest Road. The current position is less visible from Crest Road. If moved up the hill, the pool would be more visible from the street and less private. 2.2 Compliance with set backs We comply with the rear yard set back of 50 feet and have a current side yard setback of 65 feet where the regulation is 35 feet. The cabana itself has set backs of 80 feet rear yard and 135 feet side yard. 2.3 Compliance with geological requirements. The geological survey has been completed for the current site and the pool area is safe and in compliance. 2.3 Intention of landscape design. Pool is designed to be a remote, private, intimately landscaped area set apart from the house and main back yard. It will be screened from the house by heavy landscaping. If pushed close to the house, it has an uncomfortable public relationship to the master bedroom and living room which is undesirable to both my parents and the landscape architect. My father feels that a overly exposed pool area will disturb the serenity of the views from the master bedroom. It makes that area unusually crowded when there is so much space around the rest of the house. 2.4 Deceptive relationship of bordering hedges to our property line. At its narrowest point the pool is 65 feet from the property line. The edge of the property appears closer than it is because the bridle trail cuts deeply into the property at this point. The edge of the property is actually 12 feet beyond the furthest edge of the bridle trail. The neighbors have landscaped onto 12 feet onto our property at this point. Though it appears that the property ends at the edge of the trail, it actually extends 12 feet beyond that. It is unfair to penalize us because the trail meanders over the easement and our neighbors have landscaped on our property. The pool area and the border will be lushly landscaped and we will not disturb the horses or the rural feel of the horse trail. 3.0 Summary The current placement of the pool is ideal and carefully considered. It complies with engineering and setback requirements. It is less visible from the road. It has a better relationship to the house. Finally, It will not disturb the existing bridle trail. • City 0/l2llinq J11P HEARING DATE: SEPTEMBER 19,1995 TO: ATTENTION: FROM: • INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION CRAIG R.
