RESOLUTION NO. 2013-11
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE TO
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED STRUCTURAL AND TOTAL
LOT COVERAGE OF THE LOT IN ZONING CASE NO. 840, AT 2864
PALOS VERDES DRIVE NORTH, (LOT 992-A-RH), (CALHOUN).
PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT FROM 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. and Mrs. Stephen Calhoun
with respect to real property located at 2864 Palos Verdes Drive North, Rolling Hills
(Lot 992-A-RH) requesting a Variance to construct a 56 square foot addition to the
residence, which would be utilized as an elevator. The additional square footage would
exceed the previously approved Variance for structural and total lot coverage. The
addition, (with previously approved exceedances) would exceed the maximum
permitted structural lot coverage by 1.3% and the total lot coverage by 6.1%.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearing
to consider the application at a field trip on May 21, 2013, at which time the Planning
Commission directed staff to prepare a Resolution of approval for consideration at the
regularly scheduled meeting of June 18, 2013. Evidence was heard and presented from
all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and
the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The
applicant and his representative were in attendance at the hearing. No inquiries or
objections were received from neighbors.
Section 3. The property is a flag lot taking access from Palos Verdes Drive
North. It is zoned RAS-1 and it is 1.22 acres gross in area. The rear of the property is
located in a steep canyon, which is also a flood hazard area, and is not developable.
Section 4. In 2011 Variances were granted to encroach 6 feet into the required
north side yard setback with a wall; to exceed the maximum permitted structural lot
coverage by 1.1%; to exceed the maximum permitted total lot coverage by 5.8%; to
exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot by 20% for a total disturbance
of 60%, and to waive the requirement that a stable and corral area be set aside on the
lot.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class
3 Exemption, and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under
the California Environmental Quality Act.
