RESOLUTION NO. 2014-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR GRADING AND
CONSTRUCTION OF A SWIMMING POOL AND A SPA AND A VARIANCE
TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBANCE OF THE LOT IN
ZONING CASE NO. 861, AT 2 MIDDLERIDGE LANE SOUTH, LOT 168-RH,
(JOHNSON). 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 Mr. Kenneth Johnson with respect
to real property located at 2 Middleridge Lane South (Lot 168-RH) requesting a Site
Plan Review and a Variance to grade an area to the north of his proposed single family
home and, within the graded area, construct an 800 square foot swimming pool, 58
square foot spa, 2,910 square feet of on -grade decking and related stairs, retaining
walls and planters. The project requires approval of a Site Plan Review due to the
proposed grading and size of pool/spa (> 800 square feet) and a Variance because the
proposed grading will exceed by 1.65% the maximum 40% of the net lot area that is
allowed to be disturbed.
Grading consists of 235 cubic yards total, including a cut of 164 cubic yards for the pool
and yard areas, and 71 cubic yards of fill in the yard areas. The cut/fill balance of 93
cubic yards of dirt will be exported from the site.
Section 2 The property is zoned RAS-2 and is located on the corner of
Middleridge Lane North and Middleridge Lane South. Not including the roadway
easements, the lot is 1.88 acres (81,893 sq.ft.). For development purposes the net lot
area of the lot is 70,015 square feet or 1.6 acres. The lot is irregular in shape as it
narrows where the two streets converge. The lot is encumbered by wide easements
and front and rear setbacks. In January 2014 the Planning Commission approved
construction of a new single family residence on the lot, where the old house was
demolished.
Section 3. An area for a future stable and corral is proposed to the south of
the residence, 25-feet from the south property line, with future access from
Middleridge Lane South. This area is relatively flat and minimal grading will be
required. A Variance was granted with the application for the residence to encroach
10-feet into the required 35-foot side setback with the set aside area.
Section 4. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
on the subject application on August 19 and September 16 and in the field on
Reso. 2014-14
ZC NO. 861

• •
September 16, 2014. The applicant was notified of the public hearings in writing by
first class mail. 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
applicant's representative were in attendance at the hearings. Adjacent property
owners to the south of this site expressed support for the project.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
categorical exemption from environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act.
Section 6. The applicant seeks a variance from the 40% maximum disturbed
area standard set forth in Section 17.16.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Code permit approval of a variance from
the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when, due to exceptional or
extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other
similar properties in the same zone, strict application of the Code would deny the
property owner substantial property rights enjoyed by other properties in the same
vicinity and zone. Additional findings are also required, as detailed herein. With
respect to this request for a variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same
vicinity and in the same zone. Section 17.16.070 of the Municipal Code provides that
disturbance shall be limited to 40% of the net lot area. The lot is irregular in shape and
has two very long frontages along Middleridge Lane South and Middleridge Lane
North, and less than average depth towards the northern portion of the lot where the
two streets converge.
The shape of the lot with wide and long roadway easements on two sides of the
property, due to the convergence of two streets at the northern tip of the property,
reduce the size of the net lot, as calculated by the City for development purposes. The
gross lot area of the lot is 2.53 acres. With the deductions of the roadway easements
and additional 10' all around the property for development purposes, the net lot area,
against which disturbance is calculated is reduced to 1.6 acres.
B. The variance is necessary for the ,preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone,
but which would be denied to the property in question absent a variance. Due to the
configuration of the property, which fronts on two converging streets with large
roadway easements; the roadways easements plus ten feet adjacent thereto on both
frontages, are not included in the net lot area calculations, therefore considerably
diminishing the size of the lot. Construction of the pool and decks will increase the
disturbed area on the site from its current 39.5% of the net lot area to approximately
41.65%, which includes the future stable. The overage is not significant and the
Reso. 2014-14 2
ZC NO.861
property owner should not be denied the privilege of a pool and deck because the
shape and location of the lot makes it infeasible to comply strictly with Section
17.16.170.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone
in which the property is located. A minor increase in the overall percentage of
disturbed area on the lot will have no effect on the public welfare or on property or
improvements in the vicinity.
D. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance
will be observed. The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to regulate development in
an orderly fashion and in a mariner consistent with the goals and policies of the
General Plan. Approval of the variance will not impede any goals of the Zoning
Ordinance or the General Plan. Rather, the variance will allow the property owner to
enjoy the same rights and privileges afforded to other property owners in the vicinity.
The overage requested is not substantial and does not undermine the spirit or intent
of the Zoning Ordinance.
E. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities.
Section 7. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for
Site Plan Review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or any
new building or structure may be constructed including a swimming pool that
exceeds 800 square feet in water surface size area. With respect to the Site Plan Review
application requesting grading and construction of a new pool and spa, 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 structures comply
with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential
development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The lot size
is adequate to accommodate the new pool and not look overdeveloped. The proposed
pool is modest in size as compared with the newer pools on similar lots. The project
conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structure will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot
will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The existing
shrubs and trees on the northern portion on the parcel will remain and will screen the
pool from the road. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses,
buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the
Reso. 2014-14
ZC NO. 861
3
• •
construction of the proposed structures will not adversely affect or be materially
detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed
structures will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is least intrusive to
surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is a
sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structures will not
impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will utilize for a portion of
the construction the existing building pad.
C. 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 maximums set forth in the Zoning Code will not be
exceeded. The proposed construction is compatible in scale and mass with adjacent
properties.
D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and is screened from
other properties and the road by existing mature vegetation, which will be preserved.
As part of this approval, the applicants are required to additionally screen the pool
from the roadway.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this project will involve
164 cubic yards of cut and fill, total and 93 cubic yards will be exported from the site,
which is allowed and is minimal. The grading will be generated from the construction
of the deck and the excavation of the pool. Half of the disturbance or grading will take
place within the existing building pad area, which was previously disturbed.
F. The development plan will introduce additional landscaping, which is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and the
landscaping will provide a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the pool is
located on the opposite side as the driveway and no changes are proposed to the
driveway
H. The project conforms to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is exempt
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves Zoning Case No. 861 a Site Plan Review for a new pool and spa and
grading and Variances to exceed the maximum permitted disturbance subject to the
following conditions:
