A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 7 EASTFIELD DRIVE IN ZONING CASE NO. 642. (SURPRENANT) BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2002-04, which is attached, on February 26, 2002, at their adjourned regular meeting granting a request for a Site Plan Review for substantial additions to an existing single family residence. The vote was 5- 0. 2. The Planning Commission considered this application at their regular meetings on December 18, 2001, January 15, 2002 and at a field trip on January 12, 2002. 3. The applicant is requesting a Site Plan Review for the construction of 1,009 square foot addition to a 4,202 square foot house, for a total of 5,211 square foot house and to construct a new attached 1,167 square foot garage. The existing garage will be converted into living space. A portion of the existing structure encroaches into the front yard setback, but will not be expanded. 4. Two driveway approaches exist on the site. As this is a pre-existing condition, Traffic Commission's review or a CUP is not required. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing driveway approaches to the property. A portion of an existing motor court will be removed and the area landscaped and a new motor court by the new garage will be constructed. Section 17.16.150 B of the Zoning Code allows driveways to be located in any yard, however they may not cover more than 20% of the area of the yard in which they are located. The existing driveway covers approximately 30.3 % of the front yard, and is legal non -conforming. ZC 642 3/11/02 CC Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 5. The applicant is proposing to set aside an area for a future stable (450 square feet) and a future corral (550 square feet) in the rear of the garage addition. 6. The original house and a stable were built in 1955. A pool was built in 1958. In 1965 the stable was demolished. In 1957 and then in 1977 additions were made to the house. 7. Grading for the project will require 30 cubic yards of cut soil and 30 cubic yards of fill soil, which will be balanced on site. The applicant states "that the grading is intended to be a method to dispose of footing and slab excavations and to soften north- east corner of the proposed garage". A short wall not to exceed 36 inches in height is proposed along the easterly side of the new service yard. 8. The property is zoned RAS-1, and the gross lot area is 3.04 acres. The net lot area is 113,580 square feet. 9. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 7,724 square feet or 6.8%, which includes the residence, garage, pool, service yard, and the future stable (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage proposed including the structures and paved areas is 15,139 square feet or 13.3%, (35% permitted). 10. Building pad coverage on the 30,300 square foot residential building pad is proposed at 7,724 square feet or 25.5%. 11. Disturbed area of the lot will be 22.4%, (40% permitted) of the net lot area. Disturbance includes any remedial grading (temporary disturbance), any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any nongraded area where impervious surfaces will remain or are proposed to be added. 12. It will be required that the utility lines be placed underground. 13. 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. 2002-04, recommending approval in Zoning Case No. 642.

(SURPRENANT) 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 Dr. and Mrs. Surprenant with respect to real property located at 7 Eastfield Drive, Rolling Hills (Lot 56-EF) requesting a Site Plan Review for the construction of substantial additions to a single family residence. The proposed project consists of 1,009 square foot addition to the existing residence and a construction of a new 1,167 square foot attached garage. Section 2. A. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application on November 18, 2001, January 15, 2002, and at a field trip on January 12, 2002. The applicant was notified of the hearings in writing by first class mail. The applicant was in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard from members of the City staff, the applicant's representative, and all persons interested in affecting the proposal. The Planning Commission reviewed, analyzed and studied the project. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption (State of CA Guidelines, Section 15301(e) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period.. 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 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 113,580 square feet. The proposed residence (5,211 sq.ft.), garage (1,167 sq.ft.), the existing pool (800 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.) and the future stable (450 sq.ft) will. be 7,724 square feet which constitutes 6.8% coverage of the lot which, is within the maximum 20% structural net lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including structures, paved areas and driveway will be 15,139 square feet or 13.3% of the net lot area. The residential building pad consists of 30,300 square feet and will have a structural coverage of 25.5%. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most RESOLUTION NO. 2002-04 ZC 642 of the proposed structures located behind an existing hedge so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. 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, and drainage courses. The lot is relatively flat. Grading will consist of 30 cubic yards of cut soil and 30 cubic yards of fill and will be balanced on .site. A short, not to exceed 36 inches block wall will be constructed in an area of the proposed garage. • C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the existing natural drainage courses will continue. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature shrubs. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The project will be located on a relatively flat lot where significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The development plans will minimize impact on Eastfield Drive. 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. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation, for pedestrians and vehicles. The applicant proposes to utilize the existing double driveway and turn around. The applicant will remove a portion of the existing motor court and landscape the area to provide for a softer effect near the front of the residence. H. The project conforms to the requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 5. Based, upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 642 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan dated November 7, 2001 incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 6.

SURPRENANT CRISS GUNDERSON, ARCHITECT NOVEMBER 10, 2001 Request for a Site Plan Review to construct substantial additions at an existing single family residence. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission viewed a silhouette of the subject project on January 12, 2002. 2. The applicant is requesting a Site Plan Review for the construction of 1,009 square foot addition to a 4,202 square foot house, for a total of 5,211 square foot house and to construct a new attached 1,167 square foot garage. The existing garage will be converted into living space. A portion of the existing structure encroaches into the front yard setback, but will not be expanded. 3. Two driveway approaches exist on the site. As this is a pre-existing condition, Traffic Commission's review or a CUP is not required. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing driveway approaches to the property. A portion of an existing motor court will be removed and the area landscaped and a new motor court by the new garage will be constructed. Section 17.16.150 B of the Zoning Code allows driveways to be located in any yard, however they may not cover more than 20% of the area of the yard in which they are located. The existing driveway covers approximately 30.3 % of the front yard, and is legal non -conforming. 4. The applicant is proposing to set aside an area for a future stable (450 square feet) and a future corral (550 square feet) in the rear of the garage addition. ZC 642 1/15/02 Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 5. The original house and a stable were built in 1955. A pool was built in 1958. In 1965 the stable was demolished.
