CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA
Site Plan Review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding. Describe in detail the
project's conformance with the criteria below:
A. Is the proposed conditional use consistent with the General Plan? Explain how.
Yes. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the General Plan other than being located in the front
yard.
The proposed garage will be used for the storage of vehicles and will meet all requirements for the Conditional
Use Permit, other than being located in the front yard. It will have the appearance of a garage and meet all of
the requirements of the City Code & RHCA requirements. The proposed height is 14'.
B. That the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been considered, and
that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, building or structures.
Explain how.
The surrounding properties all have large garages and houses of the same approximate size. The property
currently only has a two -car garage, which does not meet current code due to having a guest house. There is an
existing parking pad which is where we are proposing to locate said detached garage in order to work to bring
the property into code compliance.
C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the use and buildings
proposed.
Explain how
The existing site has a net lot area of —4.43 acres. The proposed detached garage will be located adjacent to the
residence and on a partially existing parking pad. With the new building additions, the pad coverage will only
be 24.7% and the total flatwork and structural coverage is 15.1%, both being well below the allowable. In
looking at where to located the new garage, the location of the current house in relation to setbacks and slopes
posed a hinderance and we could not add on to the existing garage without encroaching further into the side
yard setback. Despite being located in the front yard we have kept the detached garage outside of all setbacks.
D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district. Explain
how.
Other than being located in the front yard, all other development standards for RAS-2 zone are met as the stable
was previously reviewed and conceptually approved. No additional disturbance is proposed for the detached
garage..
E. That the proposed use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. Explain how.

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
(PLEASE READ)
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of the CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
("City") and by private deed restrictions enforced by the ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are completely independent and separate.
Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in Rolling Hills.
An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean, imply or ensure approval by the other. Separate
building permit(s) from the City's contracted Building and Safety Department shall be required prior to
commencement of any work.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has been fully read and its admonition is
completely understood.

COMPUTATION OF BUILDABLE AREA AND COVERAGE THEREON
A policy of the City is to address coverage of an identified "EXISTING AND/OR PROPOSED
BUILDABLE AREA". Coverage thereon is based upon the calculation of the footprint square footage of
the residence, garage, stable (barn), other accessory structures proposed and/or developed on said "buildable
area," and all projecting structures such as entryways, porte cochere, covered porches and breezeways.
(Covered porches that are 10% or less in size of the footprint of the residence or accessory structure and
attached trellises are not counted).

For the purpose of this calculation, "buildable area" shall be defined as stated in Section 17.12.020 of the
Rolling Hills Municipal Code which declares "buildable area" as the portion of a lot that constitutes the
existing or proposed building pad and any other contiguous portion of the lot NOT IN THE SETBACKS
THAT HAS AN AVERAGE SLOPE OF TEN PERCENT (10%) OR LESS. If there is no existing
building pad, it shall mean that portion of a lot not in the setbacks that will be created through grading and
that will have an average slope of ten percent (10%) or less. A lot may have more than one "buildable area."

NATURE OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what aspects of the project require a variance:
The nature of the proposed project includes the following:
• Detached Garage located in front yard
o The detached garage is proposed to be located in the front yard, which under the
Conditional Use Permit is not permitted.
•
VARIANCE REVIEW CRITERIA
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. Explain how.
The extraordinary circumstances which do not apply to general other properties is that this property was
developed towards the rear and side yard setbacks, with a portion of the existing garage being located in
the side yard setback. There is no room to add any additional garage space where the existing garage is.
It is proposed to locate the new garage in the front yard, however outside of all setbacks, in a location
that is currently used as a parking pad. The property also currently only has a two -car garage, which is
not up to the current code of requiring a three -car garage if there is a guest house on the property. It is
desired to house the vehicles stored on the parking pad in a garage instead.
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights
possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question.
Explain how.
Due to the layout of the lot, topography, setbacks, and existing house there are minimal places to add on
while staying out of setbacks and steep topography. Most properties in Rolling Hills have a three -car
garage, especially those in the RAS-2 zone.
C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Explain how.
No. The variance will not be detrimental due to the fact the fact that the proper building and OSHA codes
being followed during the construction process. The areas being disturbed will be planted to stabilize the
slopes and help to prevent erosion along with removing cars from sitting outside which typically is not
desired..
D. That 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. Explain how
N/A
E. That the variance request is consistent with the general plan of the City of Rolling Hills. Explain
how.
The proposed detached garage and residential additions are compatible with the general plan and
zoning ordinance, other than being located in the front yard.
I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached exhibits, presents the data and
information required for the site plan review criteria evaluation to the best of my ability; and, that the facts,
statements and other information presented are true and rrec the best of my,- owledge and belief.

separate. Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in
Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean, imply or ensure approval by the
other. Separate building permit(s) from the City's contracted Building and Safety Department shall be
required prior to commencement of any work.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.

SITE PLAN REVIEW PURPOSE
The site plan review process is established to provide discretionary review of certain development projects
in the City for the purposes of ensuring that the proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan
and Municipal Codes. A site plan review is a form of permit which is required of any property owner who
plans any grading or who seeks to construct, with certain exceptions, a new building, structure, swimming
pool, above grade deck, or expand, add to, alter or repair an existing residence, which involves changes to
grading or an increase in the size of the residence by more than 999 square feet.
In order to obtain a site plan review permit, the applicant must be able to demonstrate the proposed site
development can comply with the criteria set forth in Section 17.46.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code.
Site plan review permits are considered and decided upon by the Planning Commission following the
submittal of appropriate application, reports and studies; and public hearings and site investigation are
held.
APPLICATION AND REOUEST FOR HEARING
In order to obtain a site plan review, a property owner or his or her agent must submit an application and
request a hearing before the Planning Commission. To do so, the applicant should complete the requirements
enumerated herein, assemble the necessary application documents and call to make an appointment with
Planning staff at (310) 377-1521. Making an appointment will assure that someone is available to explain

COMPUTATION OF LOT COVERAGE
LOT COVERAGE (TITLE 17)
Main buildings, accessory buildings, structures including, but not limited to gazebos, porches, entryways,
porte cochere, trellises and similar structures, tennis courts, swimming pools, spa, pool equipment,
outdoor bar, barbecue, sheds, shelters, service yards (enclosed or unenclosed), stables, or an area of not
less than 450 square feet for the construction of a stable shall not cover more than twenty percent (20%)
of the net lot area, provided further that in addition to the above described improvements, the areas
included within driveways, paved access to stables, parking spaces, walks, patios, decks and asphalt or
concrete paving of any kind excepting roads maintained by the Rolling Hills Community Association,
shall not cover more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the net lot area (see Section 17.16.200 "J" for
exceptions).
For the purposes of this Section "net area" shall exclude: a) the entire area within a recorded roadway
easement plus the area within ten (10) feet measured perpendicular to the edge of the roadway easement;
(b) the ten (10) 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; and (d) the access strip portion of a flag lot.
COMPUTATION OF BUILDABLE AREA AND COVERAGE THEREON
A policy of the City is to address coverage of an identified "EXISTING AND/OR PROPOSED
BUILDABLE AREA". Coverage thereon is based upon the calculation of the footprint square footage of
the residence, garage, stable (barn), other accessory structures proposed and/or developed on said "buildable
area," and all projecting structures such as entryways, porte cochere, covered porches and breezeways.
(Covered porches that are 10% or less in size of the footprint of the residence or accessory structure and
attached trellises are not counted).

SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA
Site Plan Review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding. Describe
in detail the project's conformance with the criteria below:
A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it
compares to the sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses.
The project, aside from the detached garage being located in the front yard, is compatible with the General
Plan, Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses. The new garage will bring the residence close in size to
those adjacent on Portuguese Bend Road and bring the property into compliance with current codes
related to guest houses and number of garages. The garage and all additions are proposed to be built
outside of all setbacks and the new garage will be at an elevation of 1' below the elevation of the existing
residence.
From a site coverage standpoint the proposed development is below the allowable 35% structural+ flatwork
coverage allowance. The individual pads also meet the guideline of <35% coverage. The setbacks are on
par with those surrounding it in the RAS-2 Zone, 35' for the side yards and 50' for front and rear, and 25'
from the rear for equestrian uses..
B. How does the project preserve and integrate into the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing
natural topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage
courses, and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates
existing natural features.
The project preserves and integrates into the site design existing topographic features by developing on
portions of the property which have been developed before. The new detached garage will be located on an
existing parking pad and will utilize an out of grade foundation in order to minimize grading.
C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the site to minimize grading? Extensive
grading and re -contouring of existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved. Graded slopes
shall be rounded and contoured so as to blend with existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing
drainage or redirect drainage flow unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the
impact of grading and proposed minimization on lots.
The site development plan follows the natural contours of the site by concentrating the development in
areas that are flatter and /or previously developed. Contours are rounded and no drainage courses will be
re -directed. Out of grade foundations have been used, where practical, to aid in reducing disturbance for
the garage development. The limitations of having an existing house and steep slopes surrounding said
residence make the area of possible development quite small.
D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding native vegetation and supplement it with
landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community? Landscaping should
provide a buffer and transition zone between private and public areas. Explain how the project preserves
native vegetation, integrates landscaping and creates buffers.
The project preserves the native vegetation by minimizing the grading in areas of vegetation and
maintaining buffer zones between properties. The existing vegetation is mainly along the perimeter of the
lot, in the easements, where we are not proposing any grading in the majority of that area due to
restrictions from the RHCA. The area of development for the detached garage is currently free of most
vegetation due to it being an existing parking pad. Trees /shrubs will be planted adjacent to the building,
as allowed by Fire Code to help screen the out of grade foundations.
E. How does the site development plan preserve the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing
building coverage? Lot coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual amount of lot
coverage permitted should depend upon the existing buildable area of the lot.
Building coverage is minimized by the garage addition being proportional to the net lot area, building pad
coverage is 24.7% for the residence pad. Due to the location of the new garage we are actually removing a
portion of the existing driveway. There will be a new widened 20' fire access road with a hammerhead
turnaround that will service the residence and new garage.
City ofRolling Hills
e •
F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences? Setbacks shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall be imposed where
necessary to assure proportionality and openness. Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with
the existing setbacks of neighboring properties.
The proposed development is outside of all setbacks and has the same setbacks as the neighboring
residences compliant with the RAS-2 zoning.
G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for
pedestrians and vehicles? Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway location,
design, landscaping and other on -site parking or storage areas
The Site Plan is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and
vehicles as the proposed addition is adjacent to the existing house and will be required to widen the
driveway to 20' for fire department access. The development is still located behind the entry arbor for the
site so pedestrians will not be affected by construction. The new garage will allow for more cars to be
parked inside as opposed to on the current parking pad.
H. Does the site development plan conform with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act?
Explain how the project impacts the environment, e.g. significant impact, proposed mitigation measures.
The Site Plan is sensitive conforms with the requirements of G.E. Q.A and will not have any significant
impacts to the environment.
I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached exhibits, presents the data and
information required for the site plan review criteria evaluation to the best of my ability; and, that the facts,

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
(PLEASE READ)
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of the CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
("City") and by private deed restrictions enforced by the ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are completely independent and
separate. Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in
Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean, imply or ensure approval by the
other. Separate building permit(s) from the City's contracted Building and Safety Department shall be
required prior to commencement of any work.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has been fully read and its admonition
is completely understood.

GUIDE TO DEVELOPER TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FOR PROJECTS IN ROLLING HILLS
(MS4 PERMIT)
THIS GUIDE PERTAINS TO DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT STANDARDS
PER THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUNICIPAL NPDES PERMIT (MS4 PERMIT), INCLUDING
LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS (CHAPTER 8.32 OF THE ROLLING HILLS
MUNICIPAL CODE).
Chapter 8.32 Storm Water Management and Pollution Control Ordinance of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code prescribe the requirements of the Municipal NPDES Permit authorized by the Federal Clean Water
Act.
The new regulations have replaced the previously required Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan
(SUSMP), but are more restrictive and apply to ALL projects, regardless of size. All projects must
implement an effective combination of erosion and sediment control BMPs from the Municipal NPDES
Permit to prevent erosion and sediment loss, and the discharge of construction wastes.
However, some projects are subject also to the Low Impact Development, (LID), requirements. LID means
buildine or landscape features designed to retain or filter storm water runoff.
Developer Technical Information for Projects subject to the requirements of the Storm Water
Management Ordinance and LID criteria is posted on the City's Website at: www.Rolling-
Hills.org/index.aspx?nid=95
www.Rolling-Hills.or2/DocumentCenterNiew/768
www.Rolling-Hills.org/DocumentCenter/View/769 - (P. 2 of Appendix B -
Rainfall depth information)
Chapter 8.32 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code is provided as Attachment A to the Technical
Information document above.
The development community must adhere to these regulations, keep track and provide all the necessary
information and documents to the City and/or City's Building Officials in a timely manner. LID designs,
if applicable, must be shown on all plans submitted to the City and be implemented in an approved
manner.
ALL Development and Redevelopment Projects are subject to the Municipal NPDES Permit, but some are
also subject to the LID regulations. In summary, the following single-family residential and accessory
structures construction is subject to the new LID regulations, (see Section 8.32.090 and 8.32.095 of
Chapter 8.32):
1. Construction of new single family residential homes, equal to one acre or greater of disturbed area
and adding more than ten thousand square feet of impervious area (including the house);
2. Single family hillside residential developments or redevelopments;
-25-
SPR Rev. 2016
City of Rolling Hills
• •
3. Redevelopment projects which include:
(a) Land -disturbing activities which create, add, or replace ten thousand square feet or more of
impervious surface area; and
(b) Where Redevelopment results in an alteration to more than fifty percent of impervious surfaces of
a previously existing development;
(c) Where Redevelopment results in an alteration to less than fifty percent of impervious surfaces of
a previously existing development, and the existing development was not subject to post -
development storm water quality control requirements, only the alteration must be mitigated, and
not the entire development.
4. Roadway construction with ten thousand square feet or more of impervious surface area;
5. Any New Development or Redevelopment project located in or directly adjacent to or discharging
directly into a Significant Ecological Area, where the development will:
(a) Discharge storm water that is likely to impact a sensitive biological species or habitat; and
(b) Create two thousand five hundred square feet or more of impervious surface area.
The County of Los Angeles Low Impact Development (LID) Standards Manual along with the County's
Stormwater BMP Design and Maintenance Manual should serve as the primary design manual for developers.
The attached flow chart contains the general steps for developers to walk through to determine which, if any,
section of the Developer Technical Information manual is relevant to their project.
In addition, the Developer Planning Checklist form is to be submitted with all applications to the Planning
Department

John,
Please find attached the revised lot coverage numbers for Wheeler. The only changes are:
• Disturbed area: an additional 200 s.f. for pushing out the walkway
• Grading quantities which have increased by 10 cubic yards for the house pad, 5 c.y. cut / 5 c.y. fill for yard
areas adjacent to the garage due to the change for the walkway wall and planter box.
• Pad Coverage: Pad 1 now has an increase of 1,170 s.f. of new pad. Slightly changes pad coverage
numbers.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!

Hi Tavisha,
Can you send me the updated calculations? After checking the numbers I realize the last minute change prior
to the last Planning Commission meeting may have affected other calculations.
Thanks,

Hi Julia,
I was able to come up with a quick "fix" to the Wheeler walkway / out of grade condition which was discussed this
morning. I have added an 18" wide planter adjacent to the building which will make the out of grade condition a max
height of 2.5' and the planter wall a max height of 2.5'. This pushes the walkway wall out more but I was able to do
a small bit of grading between the previously approved retaining wall and the new walkway wall to keep a maximum
height of 3' for the walkway wall. This adds about 200 s.f. of disturbed area but in reality that area was going to be
disturbed anyways and we still are below allowable before we add in the future stable. I will drop off 5 copies for
tonight's meeting in the next 15 minutes.
Thanks!
