A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO
CONSTRUCT A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE TO REPLACE
AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO.
584.
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. Vukan S. Ruzic
with respect to real property located at 5 Lower Blackwater Canyon Road (Lot 82-RH)
requesting Site Plan Review to permit the construction of a new single family
residence to replace an existing single family residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on October 20, 1998 and November 17, 1998, and
at'a field trip visit on November 7, 1998. The applicants were notified of the hearing
in writing by first class mail. The applicants and the applicants' representatives were
in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 2 Exemption [State CA Guidelines, Section 15302] and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality
Act.
Section 4. 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. The lot has a net square foot area of 194,713 square feet. The
proposed residence (5,167 sq. ft.), garage (1,408 sq. ft.), stable (450 sq. ft.), and service
yard (96 sq. ft.) will have 7,121 square feet which constitutes 3.66% of the lot which is
within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot
coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 13,265 square feet which equals
RESOLUTION NO. 98-22
PAGE 1 OF 4
6.82% 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 because a minimum
amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage
that will flow away from the proposed residential development and existing
neighboring residences.
C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval,
follows natural contours of the relatively flat site to minimize grading. The natural
drainage courses will be preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the
western 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 residential and
total buildable pad of 25,728 square feet with 27.68% of pad coverage.
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 will be located on a relatively flat portion of a steep
sloping lot that 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 provide a safer
driveway accessway.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental
review.

area.
The maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 15.9% of the net lot
K. Landscaping shall be provided and maintained to obscure the buildings

RESOLUTION NO. 98-22
PAGE 3 OF 4
• •
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

M. 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.
N. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 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.
O. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all
conditions of the Site Plan approval, or the approvals shall not be effective.
P. All conditions of the Site Plan approval that apply must be complied
with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los
Angeles.

Request for Site Plan Review to permit the construction of a new single family residence

BACKGROUND
1. Mr. and Mrs. Vukan S. Ruzic, the applicants, request Site Plan Review to permit
the construction of a new 5,167 square foot residence, 1,408 square foot garage, a 450
square foot stable and a 96 square foot service yard. The existing 2,840 square foot
residence and 680 square foot garage will be demolished. The proposed structures
will not encroach into any setback. The residence and garage will be located in the
general area of the existing residence at the eastern portion of this irregular -shaped
lot off Lower Blackwater Canyon Road. The height of the finished floor of the
residence will remain the same as the existing residence at 173.00 feet.
2. Building permits show that the existing residence was constructed in 1952 and a
family room, entry and laundry room were added in 1976.
3. A proposed 1,860 square foot basement will be located beneath the northern wing
of the residence. Soil quantities from the basement are included in the grading
quantities.
4. Grading for the proposed project will require 2,030 cubic yards of cut soil and 2,030
cubic yards of fill soil. The building pad will be enlarged from 20,352 square feet to
25,728 square feet.
