STRUCTURAL LOT COVERAGE . PERMITTED AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT . 15 EASTFIELD DRIVE IN ZONING CASE NO. 614. 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. Errol Gordon with respect to real property located at 15 . EastfieldDrive (Lot 52-EF), 'Rolling Hills, requesting a Variance to exceed the maximum structural lot coverage permitted at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly, noticed public hearing to consider the applications on June 20, 2000 and July 18, 2000, and at a field trip visit on July. 15, 2000. 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 and from;members':of the City, staff and the Planning' Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. Theapplicants and their representative were in attendance at the" hearing. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that: the project 'qualifiesas a Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)]' 'arid is, therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the . California Environmental Quality Act. , Section 4. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code 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 in the same vicinity. Section 17.16.110 requires a front yard of fifty feet (50') from the front easement line. The applicant is requesting to add 212 square feet for an expansion at the north of the residence. Section 17.16.070(A)(1) states that coverage by structures shall not be more than 20 percent of the net lot area. The applicant is requesting a Variance because coverage by structures will cover 22.0% of the net lot area. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances :and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of RESOLUTION NO. 2000-17 PAGE 1 OF 6 use in the same zone. The Variance for the structural lot" coverage is necessary because the lot is 1.63 acres, however net lot area is 1.3 acres, and the lot is long and narrow. The lot size and configuration, together with the existing development on the lot creates a difficulty in meeting this Code requirement. • B. The 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 home is relatively small and modest, and the applicants are requesting a modest residential addition. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located: All development will occur within existing setbacks and will be adequately screened to prevent adverse visual impact to surrounding properties. Development on the site will be limited to 22.0% which will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing' findings, .the ,Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning ' Case No 614 to permit lot coverage by structures of 22.0°/0, subject following conditions: , shall expireth w oneeffective ` ' A The .Variance approvalithin ;.year'from the effectiv date of appr' oval if, applicants have not pulled. e appropriate building permits and commenced work as defined in Sections>. 17:38.070(A)"unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of that section. B.
