THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO 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. Application was duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Giancarlo Starinieri with respect to real property located at 2960 Palos Verdes Drive North (Lot 1-B-RH) requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to retain a 405 square foot "as built" guest house on the lot and Variances to retain the guest house and a 171 square foot solid roof detached porch in the front yard area of the lot and to set aside an area for a future stable and corral in the front yard area of the lot. No grading would be required for the future stable and corral in the proposed location. Section 2. The property is zoned RAS-1 and consists of 2.68 acres gross, (excluding roadway easement). The net lot area for development purposes is 101,178 square feet or 2.32 acres. The guest house and a covered patio are located in the front yard of the property. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, no structures may be located in front of the leading edge of the residence. Therefore the guest house and the covered patio require approval of a Variance to remain in their current location. Section 3. In 1977 building permits were issued for a 1,017 sq.ft. stable which was to be located in the rear of the residence. The permits expired and the stable was not constructed. There are no records on file for a stable or guest house in its current location. Section 4. The applicant originally proposed to set aside an area for a future stable and corral in the rear of the property, where a stable structure was approved in 1977. Substantial grading would be necessary to construct in this area, which would trigger exceedance in the maximum permitted disturbance requirement. A Variance for disturbance was originally requested. During the field trip , to the property, the Planning Commission recommended an alternate location for the set aside area for the future stable and corral. The alternate area would be located in the front yard area of the lot, but when constructed would notrequire any grading, thus no variance. Reso. 2010-27 ZC 794 • • C1i olleollnyJJ,'!!

Request for a Conditional Use Permit and Variances to retain a converted guest house and to set aside an area for a future stable and corral elsewhere on the lot. Dear Dr. and Mrs. Starinieri: Pursuant to state law the City's staff has completed a preliminary review of the application noted above and finds that the information submitted is: X INCOMPLETE as of the date indicated above to allow the application to be processed. Reasons: 1. A variance request is required due to the location of the guest house. City Code prohibits any detached accessory structure to be located in the front yard, which is defined as the area of the lot between the leading edge of the house and the front easement line. 2. A variance request is required for exceedance of maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot. The application submitted by your consultants show that currently the disturbed area of the lot is over 41%, and with the future stable, will be 47%. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, the maximum permitted disturbance of any lot in the City is 40%. Although you have no plans to construct the stable at this time, the code requires that disturbance and grading be addressed at the time an application is submitted for future stable to give the Planning Commission a picture of the entire scope of current and potential development on the lot. 3. Provide grading quantity for the future stable and corral. 4. A fee of $2325 payable to City of Rolling Hills must be paid, as follows: $1500 for Conditional Use Permit (for the use -guest house) $625 for Variance to keep the guest house in the front yard Variance for disturbance $0 (third request has no fee) $200 - Environmental review 5. Verify size of the house (the Assessors' records indicate a 4,692 sq.ft. home whereas the application shows 4,240 sq.ft. home) Printed on Recycled Paper • • 6. Verify the size of the gross lot and the NET LOT AREA. 7. Identify in detail the type and use of the structure adjacent to the guest house. 8. Verify the size of the pool; the building permit shows a 787 sq.ft. pool, whereas the application shows a 720 sq.ft. pool. Please note that the City may require further information in order to clarify, amplify, correct, or otherwise supplement the application. If the City requires such additional information, it is strongly suggested that you supply that information promptly to avoid any delay in the processing of the application. In order for your application to be considered at the Planning Commission meeting on, September 21. 2010. you must submit the requested information and fees by August 30. 2010.
