THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. Hussain Shaikh with respect to real property located at 28 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 103-RH), Rolling Hills, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a detached recreation room and requesting Site Plan Review for the new structure. Applications were also filed to construct a guest house, hobby structure, tennis court and the relocation of a barn but, the hobby structure and tennis court were withdrawn during the hearing process. The request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a guest house and Site Plan Review to construct the guest house, and the relocation of the bam is addressed separately by Resolution No. 99-6A. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications.on November 17,1998, December 15,1998, January 19,1999 and February 16, 1999, and at field trip visits on December 12, 1998 and February 6, 1999. The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all .persons protesting the same, and from members of the; City; staff, and. the Planning. -Commission having reviewed, analyzed and., studied said proposal: The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. The following concerns were expressed by the Commission and nearby property owners: The number of structures and uses requested, tennis court and cabana noise, the relocation of the barn, the existing trees, obstruction of views of the canyon, and the proximity of the structures to the existing horse trail across the lower portion of the property. Members of Caballeros were present at the field trips. Section 3. On October 29,1998, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment if certain measures were included in the project. The Negative Declaration was prepared with those mitigation measures and was circulated to the applicant and other interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was published on October 31,1998. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. Section 4. The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the Commission finds that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures have been added RESOLUTION NO. 99-6B PAGE I OF 7 • • to the project, and are incorporated herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a detached recreation room under certain conditions. The applicants are requesting to construct an 800 square foot detached recreation room at the central portion of the lot. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a detached recreation room would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the detached recreation room would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a detached recreation room will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed detached recreation room will be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the detached recreation room will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the detached recreation room will comply with the low profile residential . development pattern of the ; community' and is located on a 5.74 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the detached recreation room does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional 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 because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because there is an existing barn structure that will be relocated from the northwest side of an existing corral to the southeast side of the corral. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an 800 square foot detached recreation room in accordance with the development plan dated February 22, 1999 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 587 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 99-6B PAGE 2 OF 7 • Section 7. Section 17.46.020 of the RollingHillMu ►ici al Code requires s p a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or any building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review for the construction of an 800 square foot detached recreation room. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, 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 structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements with the Conditional Use Permit for a detached recreation room approved in Section 6 of this resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 215,727 square feet. The residence (4,415 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,200 sq.ft.), proposed guest house (800 sq.ft.), proposed detached recreation room (800 sq.ft.), pool (560 sq.ft.), barn (450 sq.ft.), service yard (100 sq.ft.) will have 8,325 square feet which constitutes 3.8% of the lot which iswithin the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 11,317 square feet which equals 17.9% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located beyond a hill that is away from the road so as to reduce .the visual impact of the development. The building pad coverage proposed for the 13,525 square .foot residential building pad is 45.7%, building pad coverage proposed for. the ;33;608 square foot guest house, recreation room, barn pad will be 6.1%, and the total building pad coverage will be 17.7%. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house, detached recreation room, and the relocation of the barn would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed new structures would be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad, moved close to the hillside and away from the trail, and are a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the structures would not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. 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 maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular - shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. D. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed RESOLUTION NO. 99-613 PAGE 3 OF 7 • • and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the residence, new structures, and existing neighboring residences. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The structures proposed will not be visible from Portuguese Bend Road. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across portions of the property. F. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the southeast side (rear) of this lot. G. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Portuguese Bend Road for access. I. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. • Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves Site Plan Review application for: Zoning Case No. 587 for a proposed, construction of a detached recreation room at an existing single. family residence in `accordance with4he'-developnient plan dated February 122, :1999 and marked :Exhibit A, in Zoning Case No: 587 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. Hussain Shaikh with respect to real property located at 28 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 103-RH), Rolling Hills, requesting the following: (1) a Conditional Use Permit to construct a cabana, (2) a Conditional Use permit to construct a guest house, (3) a Conditional Use Permit to construct a tennis court, and (4) Site Plan Review to permit the construction of a new cabana structure, a new guest house structure, a new hobby structure, the relocation of an existing barn, and the construction of a new tennis court that requires grading at an existing single family residence. During the hearing process, the cabana and the tennis court were withdrawn and the applications were revised requesting the following: (1) a Conditional . Use Permit to construct an 800 square foot guest house, (2) a Conditional Use Permit to construct an 800 square . foot detached recreation room, and (3) Site Plan Review to permit the constructionof the 800 square foot guest house, 800 square foot detached recreation room, and the relocation of an existing barn at an existing single family residence. The request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a detached recreation room and Site Plan Review to permit construction of the new recreation room structure is addressed separately by Resolution No. 99-6B. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on November 17, 1998, December 15, 1998, January 19, 1999 and February 16, 1999, and at field trip visits on December 12, 1998 and February 6, 1999. The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. The following concerns were expressed by the Commission and nearby property owners: The number of structures and uses requested, tennis court and cabana noise, the relocation of the barn, the existing trees, obstruction of views of the canyon, and the proximity of the structures to the existing horse trail across the lower portion of the property. Members of Caballeros were present at the field trips. RESOLUTION NO. 99-6A PAGE 1 OF 8 1 • 99 1116140 Section 3. On October 29, 1998, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment if certain measures were included in the project. The Negative Declaration was prepared with those mitigation measures and was circulated to the applicant and other interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was published on October 31, 1998. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. Section 4. The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the Commission finds that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures have been added to the project, and are incorporated herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Sections 17.16.210(A)(5) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a guest house under certain conditions. The applicants are requesting to construct an 800 square foot guest house at the central portion of the lot. With respect to this request for a Conditional. Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a guest house would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the guest house would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed guest house will be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the guest house will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the guest house will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 5.74 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. RESOLUTION NO. 99-6A PAGE 2 OF 8 • • 99 1116140 D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 800 square foot size of the guest house equals the 800 square foot maximum permitted and the guest house does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional 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 because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because there is an existing barn structure that will be relocated from the northwest side of an existing corral to the southeast side of the corral. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an 800 square foot guest house in accordance with the development plan dated February 22, 1999 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 587 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. Section 7. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or any building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to the - size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing. the size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review for the construction of an 800 square foot guest house, and the relocation of an existing barn at an existing single family residence. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, 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 project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements with the Conditional Use Permit for a guest house approved in Section 6. The lot has a net. square foot area of 215,727 square feet. The residence (4,415 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,200 sq.ft.), proposed guest house (800 sq.ft.), pool (560 sq.ft.), barn (450 sq.ft.), service yard (100 sq.ft.) will have 7,525 square feet which constitutes 3.5% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 20,565 square feet which equals 9.5% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located beyond a hill that is away from the road so as to reduce RESOLUTION NO. 99-6A PAGE 3 OF 8 • 99 1116140 (`' the visual impact of the development. The building pad coverage proposed for the 13,525 square foot residential building pad is 45.7%, building pad coverage proposed for the 33,608 square foot guest house and barn pad will be 3.7%, and the total building pad coverage will be 16.0%. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house, and the relocation of the barn would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed new structures would be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad, moved close to the hillside and away from the trail, and are a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the structures would not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. 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 maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. D. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum . amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the residence, new structures; and existing neighboring .residences. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The structures proposed will not be visible from Portuguese Bend Road. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across portions of the property. F. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the southeast side (rear) of this lot. G. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Portuguese Bend Road for access.

MARILYN KERN, DEPUTY CITY CLERK RESOLUTION NO. 99-6A PAGE 8 OF 8 • • /0/ RESOLUTION NO. 99-6B 99 1116140 // A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED RECREATION ROOM AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE NEW RECREATION ROOM STRUCTURE AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 587. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. Hussain Shaikh with respect to real property located at 28 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 103 RH), Rolling Hills, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a detached recreation room and requesting Site Plan Review for the new structure. Applications were also filed to construct a guest house, hobby structure, tennis court and the relocation of a barn but, the hobby structure and tennis court were withdrawn during the hearing process. The request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a guest house and Site Plan Review to construct the guest house, and the relocation of the barn is addressed separately by Resolution No. 99-6A. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications,on November 17,1998, December 15,1998, January 19,1999 and February 16, 1999, and at field trip visits on December 12, 1998 and February 6, 1999. The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, .and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and . studied said proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. The following concerns were expressed by the Commission and nearby property owners: The number of structures and uses requested, tennis court and cabana noise, the relocation of the barn, the existing trees, obstruction of views of the canyon, and the proximity of the structures to the existing horse trail across the lower portion of the property. Members of Caballeros were present at the field trips. Section 3. On October 29,1998, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment if certain measures were included in the project. The Negative Declaration was prepared with those mitigation measures and was circulated to the applicant and other interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was published on October 31,1998. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. Section 4. The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the Commission finds that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures have been added RESOLUTION NO. 99-6B PAGE 1 OF 7 • *9 1116140 to the project, and are incorporated herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a detached recreation room under certain conditions. The applicants are requesting to construct an 800 square foot detached recreation room at the central portion of the lot. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a detached recreation room would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the detached recreation room would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a detached recreation room will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed detached recreation room will be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the detached recreation room will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the detached recreation room will comply, with the low profile residential development pattern of the 'community and is located on a 5.74 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the detached recreation room does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional 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 because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because there is an existing barn structure that will be relocated from the northwest side of an existing corral to the southeast side of the corral. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an 800 square foot detached recreation room in accordance with the development plan dated February 22, 1999 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 587 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 99-6B PAGE 2 OF 7 • 09 1116140 Section 7. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or any building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review for the construction of an 800 square foot detached recreation room. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, 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 structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements with the Conditional Use Permit for a detached recreation room approved in Section 6 of this resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 215,727 square feet. The residence (4,415 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,200 sq.ft.), proposed guest house (800 sq.ft.), proposed detached recreation room (800 sq.ft.), pool (560 sq.ft.), barn (450 sq.ft.), service yard (100 sq.ft.) will have 8,325 square feet which constitutes 3.8% of the lot which iswithin the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 11,317 square feet which equals 17.9% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located beyond a hill that is away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The building pad coverage proposed for the 13,525 square foot residential building pad is 45.7%, building pad coverage proposed for the 33,608 square foot guest house, recreation room, barn pad will be 6.1%, and 'the total building pad . coverage will be 17.7%. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house, detached recreation room, and the relocation of the barn would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed new structures would be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad, moved close to the hillside and away from the trail, and are a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the structures would not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. 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 maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular - shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. D. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed RESOLUTION NO. 99-6B PAGE 3 OF 7 • 999 1116140 and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the residence, new structures, and existing neighboring residences. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The structures proposed will not be visible from Portuguese Bend Road. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across portions of the property. F. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the southeast side (rear) of this lot. G. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Portuguese Bend Road for access. I. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings,, the Planning Commission hereby approves Site Plan Review application for:Zoriing Case No. 587 for a.proposed construction of a detached recreation room at an existing singlefamily residence in accordance with the development plan dated February 22, 4999 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 587 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution.
