A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO THE FRONT YARD AND
SIDE YARD SETBACKS IN ZONING CASE NO. 425.
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 Dr. Gary Chang with
respect to real property located at 17 Buggy Whip Drive, Rolling
Hills (LOT 6-BW) requesting a variance to the front yard and side
yard setback requirements to construct additions to the existing
nonconforming residential structure.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the application on April 18, 1990 and May
15, 1990, and conducted a field site review on May 5, 1990.
Section 3. Sections 17.32.010 through 17.32.030 permit approval
of a variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable
to the property and not applicable to other similar properties in the
same zone prevent the owner for making use of a parcel of property to
the same extent enjoyed by similar properties. Section 17.16.060
requires a front yard setback for every residential parcel to be 50
feet. Section 17.16.070 (A) requires a side yard setback in the RAS
- 2 zone to be 35 feet. Pursuant to these sections, the Planning
Commission finds that:
A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended
use that do not apply generally to the other property or
class of use in the same vicinity and zone because there
exists topographical constraints that justify the continued
encroachment since the existing nonconforming residential
structure cannot be significantly expanded into the rear
yard due to the current developmental pattern of the site.
Further, the lot is generally elevated from the roadway and
surrounding properties, thereby impacts are minimal.
B. The variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by
other property in the same vicinity and zone, but which is
denied to the property in question because other
nonconforming residences with reduced front yard and side
yard setbacks exist in the immediate area.
• •
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 because the proposed project will
be compatible with surrounding properties, since the
proposed expansion of the residence would result in no
greater incursion into the front yard and side yard
setbacks that the existing incursions.
Section 4. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 425 to
permit encroachment of residential additions into the front yard and
side yard setbacks, as indicated on the development plan submitted
with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit
A, subject to the following conditions:
A. The variance to the side yard setbacks as indicated on the
Development plan shall not be effective if the existing
residential structure is demolished.
B. The variance approvals shall expire if not used in one year
from the effective date of approval as defined and
specified in Section 17.32.10 of the Municipal Code.
C. The proposed building plan must be approved by the Rolling
Hills Community Association Architectural Committee before
the applicant receives a building or grading permit from
the County of Los Angeles.
D. Prior to the submittal of a final grading plan to the
County of Los Angeles, the grading plan shall be submitted
to the Rolling Hilts Planning Department staff for their
review, along with related geology, soils and hydrology
reports. This grading plan must conform to the development
plan as approved by the Planning Commission.
E. A landscape plan must be submitted to the City of Rolling
Hilts Planning Department staff for approval. The
landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and
intent of the Site Plan Review Ordinance. The landscaping

and retained with the City for not less than two years
after landscape installation. The retained bond will be
released by the City after the City Manager determines that
the landscaping was installed pursuant the landscaping plan
as approved, and that such landscaping is property
established and in good condition.
F. Any obstructions placed in the equestrian trail easements
that provide access to the "Glory Trail" shall be removed
prior to any issuance of a building permit, and shall be
subject to review by the City and Caballeros Riding
Organization.

application for modification of the development plan and
