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. and Mrs. Steve Strawn with respect to real property located at 11 Eastfield Drive (Lot 54-EF), Rolling Hills, requesting a Variance to permit the construction of residential additions that will encroach into the side yard setback and requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of substantial additions to an existing single family residence. During the hearing process, the applicants' plans were revised to reflect the remeasuring of the swimming pool and the withdrawal of the addition to the stable proposed to be converted to a hobby shop. Section 2. The existing house was built in 1960. A stable was built at the eastern portion of the lot in 1962 and a swimming pool was constructed behind the residence in 1968. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on August 19, 1997, September 16, 1997, and October 21, 1997, and at a field trip visit on September 13, 1997. The applicants were notified of the hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. The applicants and the applicants' representative, Mr. Criss Gunderson, were in attendance at the hearings. Section 4. 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 17.38.010 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 side yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S-1 Zone to be twenty (20) feet. The applicants are requesting a Variance to construct residential additions which will encroach a maximum of nine (9) feet into the twenty (20) foot side yard setback. 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 or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The lot is long and narrow in shape with a pad running across the lot perpendicular to the side lot lines making placement of a residence on the lot difficult. In addition, the sloping topography and circulation on the existing lot only permits appropriate development to encroach into the side yard setback. The residence currently encroaches into the side yard setback, it is exceptionally difficult to make improvements without continuing the existing building envelope and much of the proposed encroachment is under the existing roofline. 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 development of the site in a manner comparable to other properties in the vicinity will require some incursion into the setback on this site. 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. Development on the pad will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped and the extent of the incursion is no greater than what already exists. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 564 to permit the encroachment of a residential additions into the side yard setback with a maximum encroachment of nine (9) feet, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 9 of this Resolution. Section 7. Section 17.46.020 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 or structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in 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, may be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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, except as approved in Section 6. The lot has a net square foot area of 79,896 square feet. The proposed residence (3,712 sq. ft.), garage (547 sq. ft.), future stable (450 sq.ft.), hobby shop (600 sq.ft.), swimming pool (554 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.) RESOLUTION NO. 97-26 PAGE 2 OF 6 • • will have 6,032 square feet which constitutes 7.53% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 15,101 square feet which equals 18.9% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. B. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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). C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading. The natural drainage courses will be preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the southwest side of this lot. D. The development plan will, based upon compliance with the conditions contained in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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. Further, the proposed project will have a buildable pad of 16,078 square feet and a total building pad coverage of 31.07%, and a residential building pad coverage of 29.93%. F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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. The proposed project is also consistent with the scale of other homes in the immediate neighborhood. Grading will be minor and required only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will not require any change to the existing driveway. 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 Zoning Case No. 564 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 97-26 PAGE 3 OF 6 • • Section 9, The Variance to the side yard setback approved in Section 6 and the Site Plan for residential development approved in Section 8 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A.

B. It is declared and made a condition of these Variance and Site Plan approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, these approvals 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 October 24, 1997, and marked Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. 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. F. Grading for the project shall be prohibited. G. The residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 29.93%. H. No windows shall be located on the north side of the residence on those portions of the residence that are proposed to be added, and no additional windows shall be located on any other portion of the north -facing wall of the residence. I. Landscaping shall be provided and maintained to obscure the buildings and the building pad with native drought -resistant vegetation that is compatible with the surrounding vegetation of the community. J. Existing mature Eucalyptus trees on the north side of the property adjacent to the proposed additions shall be preserved and maintained. K. The hobby shop shall not exceed 600 square feet. L. No kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be provided within the hobby shop. RESOLUTION NO. 97-26 PAGE 4 OF 6 • • M. No vehicular access or paved parking area shall be developed within 50 feet of the hobby shop. N. The hobby shop shall not be used for sleeping quarters. O. Renting of the hobby shop is prohibited. P. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio. Q. 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. R. Notwithstanding Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional development shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. S. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of these Variances, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan approvals, or the approvals shall not be effective. T. All conditions of these Variance and Site Plan approvals that apply must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.
