THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Scott Calfas with respect to real property located at 9 Georgeff Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 32-GF) requesting a Site Plan Review to construct a stable and corral that require grading, and Variances to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot and to allow import of 907 cubic yards of soil for the project at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The applicants propose to construct a 1,152 square foot stable with a loft and a 5,000 square foot corral, which would require the import of 907 cubic yards of soil. The disturbed are of the lot would be 77.5%, which requires a Variance. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the applications on February 21, 2006, March 21, 2006 and at a field trip visit on March 21, 2006. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff. The Planning Commission reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants and their representative were in attendance at the hearings. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.46.020(A)(1) requires a Site Plan Review for grading projects requiring a grading permit. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed activity is compatible with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance in that an equestrian use and activity is being proposed that will preserve the distinctive rural residential character of the City. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes the maintenance of strict grading practices to preserve the community's natural terrain. The Building Code and the Zoning Ordinance require a balanced cut and fill ratio and do not permit import or export of soil, except under special circumstances applicable to a property or • • • • r 06 1793311 with a discretionary permission by the Planning Commission. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. Due to the location of the existing development and the topography of the lot in order to meet the requirement to built or set aside an area for a stable or corral, the grading is necessary. B. The proposed activity 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). Although grading (filling) of the existing slope is necessary to construct the stable and corral area, the grading is proposed to follow the contours and blend with the adjacent terrain. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot, as the corral area will be left as open space, and enhances it by additional landscaping, which is required by this resolution. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction of the stable and corral will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed project will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs is a sufficient distance from nearby residences and the street so that the proposed construction will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. D. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood. E. Other than the proposed construction area, the remainder of the property follows natural contours of the site to the maximum extent feasible. The natural drainage courses will be preserved, however drainage in the general area will be corrected as the water flow will be redirected behind the neighbors' structure, whereas currently the water flow of the natural drainage course causes that structure to flood. F. The development plan will be 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 and provide a stable and corral. Upon completion of the project the graded areas will be re -vegetated. • • • • 06 1793311 G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project does not affect the circulation for pedestrians and vehicles. H. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt from its requirements. Section 6. -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. A Variance to Section 17.16.070 (B) is required because it states that the lot disturbance shall be limited to 40% of the net lot area. With respect to this request for a Variance for lot disturbance of 77.5%, 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 Variance for the maximum permitted disturbance is necessary because in order to construct a stable and corral, which are required by the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan, grading is necessary which would result in 77.5% disturbance of the lot. Currently the disturbed area exceeds the maximum permitted and is 42.6%. The additional disturbed area, except the area for the stable, will remain undeveloped and be used for a corral. 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 lot is developed from side property line to side property line with residential structure and a pool in the rear. One third of the residence encroaches into the front setback and there is no other area beyond the residence and the pool for the construction of a stable and corral. In order for the applicants to enjoy their property and satisfy the requirement for stable and corral, the Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area is necessary.. 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. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The proposed project will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with mature trees and shrubs, will be of sufficient distance from nearby residences, so that it will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. • � � • 06 1793311 D. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction of the stable and corral will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed project will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs will be of sufficient distance from nearby residences and the street so that the proposed construction will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. Section 7. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance 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. A Variance to Section 17.16.230 of the Zoning Ordinance of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code is required because it states that no import or export of soil shall be permitted to or from any lot in the City. The applicant is requesting a Variance to import 907 cubic yard of soil. 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 use in the same zone because the lot size and configuration, together with the existing development on the lot creates a difficulty in meeting this Code requirement. The location of the proposed project will be least visible from the street or neighboring properties. The proposed project is keeping with the goal of the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance in that an equestrian use and activity is proposed that will preserve the distinctive rural residential character of the City. Although the Building Code and the Zoning Ordinance require a balanced cut and fill ratio and do not permit import or export of soil, except under special circumstances applicable to a property or with a discretionary permission by the Planning Commission, for this project import of soil necessary due to the location of the existing development and the topography of the lot and in order to meet the goal that each property be developed with a stable and corral or an area has been set aside for a stable and corral. 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 lot is developed from side property line to side property line with residential structure and a pool in the rear. One third of the residence encroaches into the front setback and there is no other area beyond the residence and the pool for the construction of a stable and corral. In order for the applicants to enjoy their property and satisfy the requirement for stable and corral, the Variance to import soil is necessary. 7 • • • • 06 1193311 C. The granting of the Variance to import 907 cubic yards of soil, 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. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The proposed project will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with mature trees and shrubs, will be of sufficient distance from nearby residences, so that it will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. D. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction of the stable and corral will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed project will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs will be of sufficient distance from nearby residences and the street so that the proposed construction will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review for grading, Variance request to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the net lot area (77,5%) and a Variance to import 907 cubic yards of soil in Zoning Case No. 722, as indicated on the development plan dated February 22, 2006, submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, and subject to the following conditions: A.
