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:
• New residential addition of 1,087 s.f.
o Variance required due to 205 sf. of the addition being in the side yard setback with a
maximum encroachment of 13'. Code 17.16.150
• New raised deck of 420 s.f.
o Variance required due to 34 s.f. of the raised deck being in the side yard setback with a
maximum encroachment of 4'. Code 17.16.150
• Future stable set -aside in front setback
o Variance required due to entire 450 sf. stable and entire 550 sf. corral are within the
front yard setback and in front of the leading edge of the house. Maximum encroachment
of 31 . Code 17.16.170.B
• •
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 exceptional circumstance for the request to build the new addition in the side setback is that existing
residence was built in both the front and side setbacks meaning that if any additions were to be made
that they would also encroach. The proposed 205 sf. of residence encroachment would be limited to a
maximum of 13', which is less than the existing residence encroachment. The proposed raised deck
encroachment will be for 34 s f. and a maximum of 4 . The majority of the new addition is outside of the
setback, so it is requested that we be able to have the requested encroachment in order to not have jagged
steps in and out of the side of the house to comply with the setback. We will not be pushing past the
existing building line.
The other extraordinary circumstance is that the site, other than a small portion in the front setback and
the building pad consists of 2:1 or steeper slopes. For this reason we are requesting a variance to have
our future stable set -aside in the front yard setback. There are no plans to build it at this time, however
this is the only location which would work for the entire site. The proposed residential additions do not
impact the potential to locate a stable on the residential pad as the 35' separation requirement would
still place the stable in the front yard setback
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 and existing house there are minimal places to place an addition outside of
the side yard setback, in a way that flows for the project site and architecturally. As to the stable set -
aside there are no other locations outside of the setbacks which work to locate the stable due to the steep
sloped nature of the site.
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 that the residential addition will be connected to
the existing residence and appear as one continuous house and the proposed encroachment is less than
the existing encroachment. The stable set -aside will be located down a hillside so that it is out of the view
shed of the road.
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 residence, deck, and other additions are compatible with the general plan and zoning
ordinance, other than the additions being located in the side yard setback and the future set -aside being
in the front yard setback.

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 is compatible with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses other than the
future stable set aside is in the front setback and a portion of the new residence and raised deck being
located in the side yard setback.
The residence was already slightly larger than the neighboring lots on Middleridge Lane South and with
the new addition that will be increased, however it is still not the largest on the street and we believe it will
still be compatible with the street. From a site coverage standpoint the site with the addition of the proposed
structures is still is well below the allowable 35% structural+flatwork coverage allowance.
The existing approved building was already located in both the side and front yard setbacks and our
proposed residential additions are encroaching less than the existing residence. The setbacks are on par
with those surrounding it, 35' for the side yards and 50' for front and rear as it is the RAS-2 zone.
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 addition will be connected to the existing residence and located on a previously developed pad. We are
also converting portions of covered porch to residence to utilize existing covered roof area. There is no
grading required for the residence, other than over -excavation and re -compaction for the slab and there is
minimum grading required for the construction of the deck and planters. There is some vegetation that will
be removed for the construction of the new raised deck, however it appears that the trees in the vicinity will
be able to remain. The majority of the mature trees are below the area of grading and will not be disturbed
The stable set -aside is in a location where the least amount of grading was required. Due to the topography
on -site consisting of mostly 2:1 there are no other areas than the front yard setback for this stable to be
located.
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 an
area that was previously developed and re -developing existing residence. The only new grading required is
for over -excavation and re -compaction for the slab, a future stable set aside, and for the planter located in
front of the raised deck.
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 area of proposed structrues was previously developed as a building pad and has minimal vegetation on
it. The majority of the site mature trees will not be disturbed however the landscaping hedge located
adjacent of the existing raised deck will need to be removed due to the extension of the raised deck. The
future stable set aside will require the removal of a mature tree however the stable is not proposed to be
constructed at this time.
9-‘J
• •
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 proposing a modest addition and keeping the lot coverage below the
zoning code requirements. The building pad coverage is around 35% which is above the guideline of 30%
however it was determined to keep the existing pad size and not propose any additional slope grading to
increase the pad size.
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 plan is harmonious in scale and mass as surrounding residences. The majority neighboring residences
on Middleridge Lane South are smaller than the residence with the proposed additions however it is not the
largest on the street. The proposed encroachment into the setbacks will not be more than the existing
residence. The setbacks match those of neighboring properties in the RAS-2 zone.
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
There is no proposed change to the driveway access to the driveway. There is no proposed increase in the
number of bedrooms either so the number of residents /vehicles is not proposed to increase. The proposed
addition is located a significant distance from the street. .
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 C.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, . esents the data and
information required for the site plan review criteria evaluation to the best of my . il' y; ancts sat de fact

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.Rollina-
Hills.ora/index.asnx?nid=95
www.Rollina-Hi11 s. ora/Docum entCenter/View/768
www.Rollin2-Hills.ora/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 ofRolling Hills
• s
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
