UNGAR, PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 97-18: A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE WITH LOFT AND CORRAL AREA THAT REQUIRES GRADING IN ZONING CASE NO. 559. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Robinson, 1 Georgeff Road (Lot 57-A-1-MS) BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission approved the attached subject resolution on July 15, 1997 at their regular meeting (3-0). Commissioner Sommer abstained because of the close proximity of his property and Commissioner Arvel Witte was absent. 2. The applicant is requesting Site Plan Review to construct a 1,152 square foot "Ring of Steel" stable and a 14,229 square foot building pad for a 13,077 square foot corral area that requires grading at the southeast portion of the irregular lot. 3. Mr. Phil Belleville, 12 Crest Road East, called on May 13, 1997 to express his concern about the impact the proposed stable might have on any trails and easements off Crest Road. The proposal will not change any existing trails or easements in the area. 4. The existing house, attached garage, and swimming pool were constructed in 1980. In 1982, a remodel and 4,581 square feet of additions were constructed. RESOLUTION NO. 97-18 PAGE 1 ob s. Pnnted on Recycled Paper • . In December, 1986, a Variance from height limitations for a building exceeding one story in height and a Conditional Use Permit for a mixed use structure for horsekeeping and gym facilities were approved by the Planning Commission for Mr. and Mrs. Craig Caldwell in Zoning Case No. 336. Construction was not completed and permits expired. In 1987, a request by the Caldwells for a Conditional Use Permit for a tennis court was approved in Zoning Case No. 346. The tennis court was completed in October, 1990. Also in 1990, requests for a Conditional Use Permit for a pavilion/cabana, Site Plan Review to construct a pavilion/cabana, and a Variance to install kitchen/cooking facilities at a pavilion cabana were approved for the Caldwells along with a lot line adjustment between 1 and 3 Georgeff subject to certain conditions in Zoning Case No. 416. Building permits expired for the pavilion/cabana with kitchen in 1987, 1990, 1992 and 1994. Therefore, permits for the existing pavilion, according to Building & Safety records, are incomplete and are addressed as Condition K of Resolution No. 97-18 requiring that, "Permits for the existing pavilion shall be completed, reviewed and finalled by the County of Los Angeles prior to plan check approval." In 1991, the lot line adjustment was revoked due to lack of compliance with conditions of Resolution No. 91-9 in Zoning Case No. 416. The conditions required removal of the residence and trellis at 3 Georgeff Road within a set time period. The residence at 3 Georgeff was removed by the the Robinsons in 1996. An exterior trellis and patio roof was completed in February, 1991. 5. Grading will require 788 cubic yards of cut soil and 788 cubic yards of fill soil and is shown on the plot plan by textured gray areas. 6. Access to the stable and corral will be from the existing driveway off Georgeff Road through the easement at the southern portion of the lot and that has a 25% slope. The Zoning Ordinance requires a maximum slope of 4:1 or 25% for access to a stable or corral. 7. The 94,754 square foot residential building pad has a 17.3% structural coverage. The building pad coverage on the 14,229 square foot stable building pad is 8.1%, and there is a total building pad coverage of 16.1%. 8. The disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 71,953 square feet or 36.6% (40% maximum). 9. The structural lot coverage proposed is 17,590 square feet or 8.9% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 34,415 square feet or 17.5% (35% permitted). RESOLUTION NO. 97-18 PAGE 2 U 10. The project has been determined to be categorically 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. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Robinson with respect to real property located at 1 Georgeff Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 57-A-1- MS) requesting Site Plan Review approval for a stable with loft and corral area that requires grading. Section 2. A. In 1990, requests for a Conditional Use Permit for a pavilion/cabana, Site Plan Review to construct a pavilion/cabana, and a Variance to install kitchen/cooking facilities at a pavilion cabana were approved for Mr. and Mrs. Craig Caldwell along with a lot line adjustment between 1 and 3 Georgeff subject to certain conditions in Zoning Case No. 416. B. In 1991, the lot line adjustment was revoked due to lack of compliance with conditions of Resolution No. 91-9 in Zoning Case No. 416. Those conditions required removal of the residence and trellis at 3 Georgeff Road within a set time period. The residence at 3 Georgeff was removed by the the Robinsons in 1996. C. The tennis court was completed in October, 1990 and an exterior trellis and patio roof were completed in February, 1991. Building permits expired for a pavilion/cabana with kitchen in 1987, 1990, 1992, and 1994 and for a barn/court in 1992. The barn/court was not constructed. Therefore, permits for the existing pavilion, according to Building & Safety records, are incomplete. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for Site Plan Review on May 20, 1997 and June 17, 1997, and at a field trip visit on June 14, 1997. Section 4. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before 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 25% in any 36-month period. Section 5. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: RESOLUTION NO. 97-18 PAGE 1 • • 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. The lot has a net square foot area of 196,592 square feet. The proposed stable (1,152 sq.ft.), existing residence (7,221 sq.ft.), garage (880 sq.ft.), existing swimming pool (791 sq.ft.), tennis court (7,200 sq.ft.), pavillion (350 sq.ft.) and existing service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 17,590 square feet which constitutes 8.9% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 34,415 square feet which equals 17.5% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. Coverage on the lower stable pad will be 8.1% which is similar in size to several neighboring developments. 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 structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further, the proposed project on a lower pad will have a buildable pad coverage of 8.1%. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain trail access near the eastern property line and scenic vistas across the northeasterly portions of the property. C . The proposed stable and corral 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 andthe proposed project is consistent with the scale of other structures in the neighborhood. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. D. The proposed development on the lower pad 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 proposed stable and corral, existing residence and existing neighboring residences. E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount .of grading required to create the building area because grading will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed stable and corral, existing residence and existing neighboring residences, and the grading will be limited to 788 cubic yards of cut soil and 788 cubic yards of fill soil. RESOLUTION NO. 97-18 PAGE 2 • . F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow because grading after development will follow the natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyon which exists along the eastern side of this lot. G. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and, with the conditions attached to this approval, supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. Existing landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between properties. The area proposed for development of the stable and corral is gently sloped and without significant vegetation. Thus, this project will not have a significant effect on natural topographic features and native vegetation. 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 Georgeff Road for access. Also, the existing driveway is approached within an easement as a flag lot and will therefore create little interference with traffic. I. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 559 for a proposed stable with loft and corral development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 7. Section 7. The Site Plan Review for a stable with loft and corral that requires grading approved in Section 6 is subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080(A). B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, the Permit shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days. C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise approved by Variance. RESOLUTION NO. 97-18 PAGE 3 (Do • • D. The stable, loft and corral shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. Grading shall not exceed 788 cubic yards of cut soil and 788 cubic yards of fill soil. F. The stable loft shall have no glazed openings and the loft area shall be limited in use to the storage of feed, tack, and stable equipment. G. All free-standing retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. H. The building pad coverage for the stable and corral shall not exceed 8.1%. I. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must' conform to the City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio. J. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. K. Permits for the existing pavilion shall be completed, reviewed and finalled by the County of Los Angeles prior to plan check approval. L. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan approved with this application. M. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Site Plan Review, or the approval shall not be effective. N. All conditions of this Site Plan Review approval must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.

In December, 1986, a Variance from height limitations for a building exceeding one story in height and a Conditional Use Permit for a mixed use structure for horsekeeping and gym facilities were approved by the Planning Commission for Mr. and Mrs. Craig Caldwell in Zoning Case No. 336. ZONING CASE NO. 559 PAGE 1 Printed on Recycled Paper. • • In 1987, a request by the Caldwells for a Conditional Use Permit for a tennis court was approved in Zoning Case No. 346. In 1990, requests for a Conditional Use Permit for a pavilion/cabana, Site Plan Review to construct a pavilion/cabana, and a Variance to install kitchen/cooking facilities at a pavilion cabana were approved for the Caldwells along with a lot line adjustment between 1 and 3 Georgeff subject to certain conditions in Zoning Case No. 416. In 1991, the lot line adjustment was revoked due to lack of compliance with conditions of Resolution No. 91-9 in Zoning Case No. 416. The conditions required removal of the residence and trellis at 3 Georgeff Road within a set time period. The residence at 3 Georgeff was removed by the the Robinsons in 1996. The tennis court was completed in October, 1990 and an exterior trellis and patio roof was completed in February, 1991. Building permits expired for a pavilion/cabana with kitchen in 1987, 1990, 1992, and 1994 and for a barn/court in 1992. The barn/court was not constructed. Therefore. permits for the existing pavilion, according to Building & Safety records. are incomplete. 4.
