COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED
GARAGE AND APPROVING A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME DETACHED GARAGE AND GARAGE
AREA THAT REQUIRES GRADING AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN
ZONING CASE NO. 551.
BACKGROUND
Staff presented the attached draft Resolution as directed by the Planning
Commission at the May 20, 1997 meeting. , Planning Commissioners expressed their
concerns about the garage that may have been converted to living quarters and the
stable that had second story windows.
Staff inspected the property with Building Inspector Rafael Bernal and Mr. Barth's
representative, Mr. Bob DeMoss. With respect to the garage, we noted that two cars
were stored and there were no living quarters in that structure. With respect to the
stable, we noted that there were living quarters with glazed windows and without
kitchen facilities above a 4-stall stable with glazed windows at the north side that is
used for storage.
Staff researched the building permits with the County and the Community
Association. With respect to the garage, we discovered that in 1956 the County
finalled a permit for a bedroom and laundry enclosure to be added to the main
residence adjacent to the garage. This occurred prior to incorporation of the City of
Rolling Hills. With respect to the stable, we discovered that in 1947 the County
finalled a permit for a 2 story stable with 3 rooms prior to the incorporation of the
City of Rolling Hills. Community Association Manager Peggy Minor reports that
the original plan approved in 1947 shows the stable being 2-story with glazed
windows as described by the Commission.
Options for the Planning Commission are:
1. Consider the stable with living quarters a pre-existing legal nonconforming use.
2. Consider the stable a mixed use structure and require application for a
Conditional Use Permit and Variance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review and approve Resolution
No. 97-9.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED GARAGE AND
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME DETACHED GARAGE AND
GARAGE AREA THAT REQUIRES GRADING AT A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 551.
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. Robert K. Barth with respect
to real property at 29 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 92-1-RH) requesting
a Conditional Use Permit to permit construction of a detached garage and requesting
Site Plan Review for the development of the same garage and garage area that
requires grading at an existing single family residence.
Section 2. ' The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on March 18, 1997 and April 15, 1997, and at a
field trip visit on April 5, 1997.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Sections 17.16.210(A)(4) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
conditionally permits approval of a detached garage with no specific conditions
unless imposed by the discretionary review process. The applicants are requesting to
construct a 1,044 square foot detached garage at the northeastern 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 garage would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan and would 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 garage would be located in an area on the property
where such use would 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 garage
would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed detached garage would be constructed

portion of the secondary building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that the detached garage would 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 garage would comply with
the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on
a 2.8 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 1,400 square foot size of the
detached garage 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 stable and corral on the lot.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 1,400 square foot
detached garage in accordance with the Development Plan dated April 10, 1997 and
marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 551 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 and 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 a
detached garage that requires grading on a lot developed with an existing single
family residence, an attached garage, swimming pool, stable and service yard. 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
RESOLUTION NO. 97-9

DRAFT
Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage approved in Section 6 of this
Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 103,005 square feet. The residence
(5,205 sq.ft.), attached garage (494 sq.ft.), detached garage (1,044 sq.ft.), swimming pool
(644 sq.ft.), stable (480 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 7,963 square feet
which constitutes 7.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot
coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway
will be 21,903 square feet which equals 21.2% 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 above and away from the road
so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The building pad coverage
proposed for the 23,187 square foot residential building pad is 29.4% and the building
pad coverage proposed for the 5,200 square foot pad for the detached garage is 20%.
The total building pad coverage will be 28.1%.
B. 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 proposed detached garage, residence and existing neighboring residences.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at
the northwestern side (rear) of this lot.
D. 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.
E. 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 is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot
will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions
of the property.
F. 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.
G. 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 an existing driveway at the northeast portion of the
property off Portuguese Bend Road for access.
H. 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 the Site Plan Review application for the development of a detached
garage that requires grading at an existing single family residence, attached garage,
swimming pool, stable and service yard, as indicated on the Development Plan
dated April 10, 1997 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in
Section 9.
Section 9. The Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage approved in
Section 6 and the Site Plan Review application approved in Section 8 of this
Resolution are subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals shall
expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.
42.070 and 17.46.080.

Site Plan Review approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this
approval 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 Buildings and Construction Ordinance, 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 site plan on file dated April 10, 1997 and marked Exhibit A, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 29.4% and the
building pad coverage for the detached garage shall not exceed 20%. The total
building pad coverage shall not exceed 28.1%.
F. Grading for the proposed detached garage shall not exceed 15 cubic
yards of cut soil and 15 cubic yards of fill soil and shall not be allowed unless and

Mr. Robert K. Barth, 29 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 92-1-RH)
BACKGROUND,
1. The Planning Commission approved the attached resolution at the June 17,
1997 meeting. Prior to signing the resolution of approval the Planning
Commissioners expressed their concerns about the garage that may have been
converted to living quarters and the stable that had second story windows.
Staff inspected the property with Building Inspector Rafael Bernal and Mr.
Barth's representative, Mr. Bob DeMoss and researched the building permits
with the County and the Community Association. With respect to the garage,
we discovered that in 1956 the County finalled a permit for a bedroom and
laundry enclosure to be added to the main residence adjacent to the garage.
This occurred prior to incorporation of the City of Rolling Hills in 1957.
With respect to the stable, we discovered that in 1947 the County finalled a
permit for a 2 story stable with 3 rooms prior to the incorporation of the City
of Rolling Hills. Community Association Manager Peggy Minor reports that
the original plan approved in 1947 shows the stable being 2-story with glazed
windows as described by the Commission. The Commission reviewed the
information and considered the bedroom and laundry enclosure a legal
conforming use and the stable with living quarters a pre-existing legal
nonconforming use, and therefore, not an issue in this case.

2. The applicant is requesting . a Conditional Use Permit to permit the
construction of a 1,044 square foot detached garage at the eastern portion of
the lot where there is an existing driveway and turnaround area that was
there when the property was subdivided in 1973. There is an existing 494
square foot attached garage at the western portion of the residence on the
residential building pad at the southern portion of the lot off Portuguese
Bend Road. The Zoning Code requires a Conditional Use Permit but, there
are no specific conditions required for garages unless imposed by the
discretionary review process.
The applicant is also requesting Site Plan Review for the development of the
garage and garage area that requires grading. Grading quantities will be 15
cubic yards of cut soil and 15 cubic yards of fill soil. An access road and
parking area exist at the eastern portion of the site. There is a "common
driveway" that is within the two 10-foot easements between Parcels 1 and 2
(29 and 27 Portuguese Bend Road, respectively) that was reserved by
document upon the approval of Subdivision No. 48, finalled on January 8,
1973.
3. The existing house with attached garage was built in 1938. Building permits
show that in 1948, a new swimming pool was constructed; in 1947, a new
stable was built; in 1951, there was residence repair of fire damage; in 1956, a
bedroom was enlarged and a laundry was enclosed; in 1961, a playroom and
bath were added; and finally, in 1976, interior alterations were made and a
wood deck was added. The residence at the adjacent 27 Portuguese Bend Road
was completed in 1978.
4. The building pad coverage proposed for the 5,200 square foot garage area pad
will be 20%.
5. Disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 22,601 square feet or 21.9% of
the net lot area (40% maximum permitted).
6. Plans were revised to reduce the amount of grading so that the cut soil will be
15 cubic yards and the fill soil will be 15 cubic yards. A previous grading plan
required 145 cubic yards of cut soil and 145 cubic yards of fill soil.
7. The structural lot coverage proposed is 7,963 square feet or 7.7% (20%
maximum permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 21,903 square feet
or 21.2% (35% maximum permitted).
8. A basement is not proposed for this project.
9. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file Resolution No. 97-9.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED GARAGE AND
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME DETACHED GARAGE AND
GARAGE AREA THAT REQUIRES GRADING AT A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 551.
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. Robert K. Barth with respect
to real property at 29 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 92-1-RH) requesting
a Conditional Use Permit to permit construction of a detached garage and requesting
Site Plan Review for the development of the same garage and garage area that
requires grading at an existing single family residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on March 18, 1997 and April 15, 1997, and at a
field trip visit on April 5, 1997.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Sections 17.16.210(A)(4) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
conditionally permits approval of a detached garage with no specific conditions
unless imposed by the discretionary review process. The applicants are requesting to
construct a 1,044 square foot detached garage at the northeastern 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 garage would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan and would 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 garage would be located in an area on the property
where such use would 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 garage
would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed detached garage would be constructed

portion of the secondary building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that the detached garage would 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 garage would comply with
the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on
a 2.8 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 1,400 square foot size of the
detached garage 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 stable and corral on the lot.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 1,400 square foot
detached garage in accordance with the Development Plan dated April 10, 1997 and
marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 551 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 and 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 a
detached garage that requires grading on a lot developed with an existing single
family residence, an attached garage, swimming pool, stable and service yard. • 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
RESOLUTION NO. 97-9
PAGE 2

Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage approved in Section 6 of this
Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 103,005 square feet. The residence
(5,205 sq.ft.), attached garage (494 sq.ft.), detached garage (1,044 sq.ft.), swimming pool
(644 sq.ft.), stable (480 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 7,963 square feet
which constitutes 7.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot
coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway
will be 21,903 square feet which equals 21.2% 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 above and away from the road
so as to reduce the visual impact of the .development. The building pad coverage
proposed for the 23,187 square foot residential building pad is 29.4% and the building
pad coverage proposed for the 5,200 square foot pad for the detached garage is 20%.
The total building pad coverage will be 28.1%.
B. 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 proposed detached garage, residence and existing neighboring residences.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at
the northwestern side (rear) of this lot.
D. 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.
E. 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 is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot
will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions
of the property.
F. 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.
G. 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 an existing driveway at the northeast portion of the
property off Portuguese Bend Road for access.
H. 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 the Site Plan Review application for the development of a detached
garage that requires grading at an existing single family residence, attached garage,
swimming pool, stable and service yard, as indicated on the Development Plan
dated April 10, 1997 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in
Section 9.
Section 9. The Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage approved in
Section 6 and the Site Plan Review application approved in Section 8 of this
Resolution are subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals shall
expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.
42.070 and 17.46.080.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use Permit and
Site Plan Review approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this
approval 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 Buildings and Construction Ordinance, 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 site plan on file dated April 10, 1997 and marked Exhibit A, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 29.4% and the

Request for a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a detached
garage and a request for Site Plan Review for the development of the garage and
garage area that requires grading at an existing single family residence.
BACKGROUND
1. Plans were revised to. reduce the amount of grading so that the cut soil will be
15 cubic yards and the fill soil will be 15 cubic yards. The previous grading
plan required 145 cubic yards of cut soil and 145 cubic yards of fill soil.
2. The Planning Commission viewed a staking of the proposed sports court on
Saturday, April 5, 1997. Calculations were revised following the March 18,
1997 meeting when Mr. Barth pointed out that the existing garage is actually
494 square feet and the residence is 5,205 square feet.
3. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the
construction of a 1,044 square foot detached garage at the eastern portion of
the lot. There is an existing 494 square foot attached garage at the western
portion of the residence on the residential building pad at the southern
portion of the lot off Portuguese Bend Road. The Zoning Code requires a
Conditional Use Permit but, there are no specific conditions required for
garages unless imposed by the discretionary review process.

The applicant is also requesting Site Plan Review for the development of the
garage and garage area that requires grading. Grading quantities will be 145
cubic yards of cut soil and 145 cubic yards of fill soil. An access road and
parking area exist at the eastern portion of the site. There is a "common
driveway" that is within the two 10-foot easements between Parcels 1 and 2
(29 and 27 Portuguese Bend Road, respectively) that was reserved by
document upon the approval of Subdivision No. 48, finalled on January 8,
1973.
4. The existing house with attached garage was built in 1938. Building permits
show that in 1948, a new swimming pool was constructed; in 1949, a new
stable was built; in 1951, there was residence repair of fire damage; in 1956, a
bedroom was enlarged and a laundry was enclosed; in 1961, a playroom and
bath were added; and finally, in 1976, interior alterations were made and a
wood deck was added. The residence at the adjacent 27 Portuguese Bend Road
was completed in 1978.
5. The building pad coverage proposed for the 5,200 square foot garage area pad
will be 20%.
6. Disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 22,601 square feet or 21.9% of
the net lot area (40% maximum permitted).
7. The structural lot coverage proposed is 7,963 square feet or 7.7% (20%
maximum permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 21,903 square feet
or 21.2% (35% maximum permitted).
8. A basement is not proposed for this project.
9. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CicQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed plans and
take public testimony.
