DEPUTY CITY CLERK RESOLUTION NO. 95-12 PAGE5OF5 95-1666229 RESOLUTION NO.95-12 A RESOLUTION OF TIIE PLANNING COMMISSION OF TIIE CITY OF ROLLING MILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINCLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 528. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application has been filed by Dr. and Mrs. H. Roger Rizi with respect to real property located at 23 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 88- RH), Rolling hills, requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of substantial additions to a new single family residence with attached garage and to permit construction of a new driveway within the lot that requires grading. Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on July 18, 1995 and August 15, 1995, and at a field trip visit on August 5, 1995. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval for any grading requiring a grading permit and 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 twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review to construct a residence, attached garage, guest house, and swimming pool. 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 109,400 square feet. The proposed residence (6,223 sq.ft.), attached garage (640 sq.ft.), 96 square foot service yard and existing stable (1,210 sq.ft.) will have 8,169 square feet which constitutes 7.5% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 21,857 square feet which equals 20.0%, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed RESOLUTION NO. 95-1.2 PAGE 1 OF 5 95-1666229 • • project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located above and away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the north side (front) of this lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. 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. Further, the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions of the property. F. The proposed development, as conditioned, 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 the neighborhood when compared to this irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. G. 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 the same driveway to Portuguese Bend Road for access. It The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review for construction of a new single family residence, an attached garage, and stable, and construction of a new driveway within the lot that requires grading as indicated on the Development Plan dated September 14, 1995, and marked, Revised Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 6.
