Subject: Request for services to review legal description for a Lot Line
Adjustment for properties located at 25 Portuguese Bend Road having APN #
7569-012-001 and 7569-012-022.
Dear Ms. Fitzgerald:
Please review the enclosed legal description for a lot line adjustment between two
parcels, one vacant lot (7569-012-001) and one developed lot at 25 Portuguese Bend
Road (7569-012-022) for accuracy.
The legal description for the 10-foot easements will be reviewed by the Attorney for the
Rolling Hills Community Association, and therefore, it is not included with this request.
As appropriate, you may bill the City for your services. Thank you for your review.
Should you have any questions, or require additional information, please don't hesitate to
call me at (310) 377-1521.

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-23
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 PROPERTIES AT 25 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD
(LOT 89-A-RH) AND THE VACANT PARCEL NORTH THEREOF (LOT
89-C-RH) IN ZONING CASE NO. 707 (CHO).
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. and Mrs. Philip Cho with
respect to real property located on Portuguese Bend Road (Lots 89-A-RH and 89-C-RH)
requesting a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move the common
side lot line dividing Lot 89-A-RH (25 Portuguese Bend Road) and Lot 89-C-RH (vacant
lot north thereof), where 7,760 square feet of Lot 89-A-RH will be transferred to Lot 89-
C-RH and the same size area, 7,760 square feet, of Lot 89-C-RH (vacant lot) will be
transferred to Lot 89-A-RH.
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 on July 19, 2005.
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-2 Zone shall have a net area of not less than eighty-seven
thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). The proposed lot line adjustment
will result in Lot 89-A-RH being 5.09 acres net and Lot 89-C-RH being 2.97 acres net,
exclusive of: (a) the entire area within a recorded roadway easement plus the area within
ten feet measured perpendicular to the edge of the roadway easement; (b) the ten foot

perimeter of the lot perpendicular to the property lines; (c) any private drive or
driveway that provides access to any other lot or parcel of land and (d) the access strip
portion of a flag lot. The size of the lots will not change, as an equal amount of area is
being exchanged between the lots.
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. This proposal will correct the current condition where
the property line is not at right angle to the street.
C. Section 16.20.230 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that
easements, the width of which is to be determined by the Rolling Hills Community
Association, 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 provides for 10-foot easements, or as otherwise approved by the
Rolling Hills Community Association, on each side of the adjusted lot lines, and will be
recorded concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment.
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 89-A-RH and Lot 89-C-RH.
Section 6. In accordance with the foregoing findings, a Conditional Certificate
of Compliance for lot line adjustment sought in Zoning Case No. 707 as indicated on the
map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved subject to the following
conditions:
A. The Lot Line Adjustment approval shall expire within two years from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.070, unless otherwise extended
pursuant to the requirements of this section.
B. There shall be ten (10) feet easements on each side of the adjusted lot lines
within the adjusted boundaries of the lots, or as otherwise required by the Rolling Hills
Community Association. The map attached to the Conditional Certificate of
Compliance, referred hereto as Exhibit "A" shall delineate and note the easements and
trails, if any, specified in this paragraph.
C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any way constitute any representation
that the adjusted lots can be developed in compliance with current zoning and building
ordinance standards. No development 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 Ordinance (Ordinance No 221, 1988) to Lot 89-A-RH
and 89-C-RH at such time as an application is made for development.
RESOLUTION NO. 2005-23

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 and trails, if any, as specified in Paragraph C of Section 5 and Paragraph B of
Section 6 are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval of the
legal descriptions of the new adjusted lines, trails and easements, 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.
F. 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.
G. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of
this Resolution or the Lot Line Adjustment shall not be effective.
