BLAIR, BLAIR ASSOCIATES RESOLUTION NO. 91-13 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO PERMIT A ROOM ADDITION, AN ENTRY AREA, AND AN ADDITIONTO THE GARAGE IN ZONING CASE NO. 452. 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 Ms. Michelle Mottola with respect to real property located at 7 Flying Mane Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 51-SF) requesting a Variance to the front yard setback to permit a room addition, an entry area, and an addition to the garage to encroach into the front yard setback. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for Variances on April 16, 1991 and May 21, 1991, and at a field trip visit on May 4, 1991. • 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 from making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties. A Variance to Section 17.16.060 is required to construct a room addition, an entry area, and an addition to the garage in the fifty (50) foot front yard setback. The applicant is requesting additions that will encroach a maximum of twenty-seven (27) feet into the front yard setback. The Planning Commission finds: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property and the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property in the same vicinity and zone. The Variance is necessary because the existing legal nonconforming residence was built within the front yard setback and the building pad is located close to the street and adjacent residences. B. This 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. The Variance is necessary because the existing development pattern on the lot precludes the requested additions from being built into the rear yard. C. The granting of this Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity or zone in which the property is located. Development on the pad will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. RESOLUTION NO. 91-13 PAGE 2 Section 4. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to construct a room addition, an entry area, and an addition to the garage to a maximum of 27 feet as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A subject to the conditions contained in Section 5. The Planning Commission also finds that the project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 5. The Variance to the front yard setback approved in Section 4, as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, is subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance shall expire unless used within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.32.110 of the Municipal Code. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance 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 Zoning Ordinance and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan. D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the Development Plan on file marked Exhibit A except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. The garage shall be screened on the north side property line with drought -tolerant landscaping approved by the landscaping consultant. F. 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. G. 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. .H. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions- of this Variance, pursuant to Section 17.32.087, or the approval shall not be effective. RESOLUTION NO. 91-13 PAGE 3 I. All conditions of this Variance approval, except for Paragraphs (D) and (E), must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.

Nealis City Manager CN:ds Variance- Mottola; 47 Flying Mane 1. Proiect Description: This 40 year old house was built prior to the new planning standard and as such is located within the 50'-0" front setback standards. As with any old home , particularity one located in a prosperous and outstanding neighborhood such as Rolling Hills, it is comparatively very dated in such accepted amenities such as size of bedrooms, bathrooms, closet space, kitchens, entertainment areas, and garage space. The living space in the home is presently only 2,096 s.f, and has not been remodeled in recent history. The family wishes to add only 440 s.f. to improve the livability of the home without requiring significant changes. All proposed changes are quite modest and include a small entry addition and kitchen nook addition, the majority of which will be under the existing roof. In addition to the living spaces an additional garage is being proposed. Today a 3-car garage is a real necessity, and in order to avoid the parking of vehicles on the driveway it is preferable to have adequate garage parking. As such, a single car garage is proposed in addition to the existing 2-car garage. It was our attempt to design very modest additions to the old and dated home in order to update it and modify it to meet our needs and improve the overall condition of the property. It is beyond our control that the home does not comply with the new standards, however we believe these improvements will substantially improve the residence for ourselves and the community. As such we believe our request is not unreasonable and respects the goals of the community plan. 2. Exceotional or extraordinary circumstances; As stated above, this home was built 40 years ago, prior to the new planning standards. As such 1t 1s impossible to make the modest improvements, which we are requesting. 3. Public Welfac@;, The existing property has become some what neglected, and it is our intention to improve it in both appearance and maintenance. In conjunction with the modest addition we plan to Improve the overall property, which will benefit the overall public welfare. The impact of the addition will not infringe on the public welfare in any way. Neighborhood privacy will not change, nor will any views be effected. The project is intended to be a positive contribution to the community.
