RESOLUTION NO. 2018-02
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN REVIEW AND
VARIANCE TO LEGALIZE AND RETAIN PREVIOUSLY GRADED PATH AT
THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AND TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
PERMITTED DISTURBANCE OF THE LOT IN ZONING CASE NO. 935, 1
MIDDLERIDGE LANE NORTH (LOT 15, 16, 17-MR), ROLLING HILLS, CA.
(CIPOLLA).
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. Chw7 Cipolla with respect to real
property located at 1 Middleridge Lane North, (Part of Lots 15, 16; 17-MR), Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a Site Plan Review and Variance to legalize and retain previously graded path at the
rear of the property and to exceed the maximum permitted disturbance of the lot. The area of
grading consists of 15,250 square feet, which required 3,500 cubic yards of grading and which
caused exceedance in the maximum permitted disturbance of the net lot of 49.7%.
Section 2. Following several submittals for various developments, which would incorporate the
request to retain the path, the applicants abandoned those requests, and therefore the application
to retain the graded path became a project on its own.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the
application on January 16, 2018 and in the field on January 16, 2018. The applicants were
notified of the pubic 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 and
Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed, and studied said proposal. The property owner
and his representative were in attendance at the public hearings.
Section 4. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the gross lot area is 4.19 acres. The net lot area,
as calculated by the City, is 2.82 acres or 122,943 square feet. The property is irregular in shape
and has a very long street frontage (over 600 lineal feet) and the lot has a significant drop in
elevation of 95 feet straight back from the house to the rear lot line. There is very little flat area
on the property and it is mostly developed with the residence and driveway. The property is
currently developed with a 2,900 square foot single-family residence and 468 square foot
attached garage, and miscellaneous accessory structures. In April 2017, the applicants were
granted approval for a house and garage addition, new basement and widening of the driveway
approach.
Section 5. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 3 exemption.
Section 6. Section 17.46.020(3) requires a development plan to be submitted for Site Plan
Review for grading. With respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting approval of
grading to create the path, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
Reso. 2018-02 1
• •
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning
Ordinance and surrounding uses because the grading does not create additional structures and is
located in an area below Middleridge Lane and will be screened from the road by the drop in
elevation and landscaping which minimizes the visual impact of the path.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot because the graded path does not add to structural coverage
and it will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property . The
nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and
the topography of the lot have been considered and the path does not adversely affect or
is materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. The previously
graded path was graded to allow the property owner access to the rear of the steep
property, so that dead trees and vegetation could be removed and access retained to the
rear area of the lot. The grading was minim al, less that 3-foot cut and/or fill and although
located near two intermittent streams, it has been determined that the neither of the
streams are classified as water bodies that fall under the jurisdiction of the Army
Corps of Engineers at the federal level or Department of Fish and Wildlife at the state
level. This determinationwas made by said agencies.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences as it will remain
open space and the slopes below and above it will be landscaped and protected from
erosion.
D. The development plan generally follows natural contours of the site to
the maximum extent practicable to accomplish groomed and usable areas of the lot,
subject to concurrent approval of Variance pursuant to Section 7 of this resolution.
Natural drainage courses will not be affected by the project.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the graded
path does not affect the currently approved access to the main uses on the property.
F. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 7. 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 prevent the owner from making
use of a parcel or property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the
same vicinity. Section 17.16.070B stipulates that the maximum permitted disturbance
of the lot shall not exceed 40% of the net lot area of the lot. With the unpermitted
grading for the path along the rear of the lot, the applicant requests a variance for lot
disturbance to 49.7%. With respect to this request for Variance, the Planning Commission
fmds as follows:
Reso. 2018-02
• •
A. There are exceptional circumstances and conditions because the vast
distance of the rear and side property lines from the residence and due to the steepness
of the rear lot, the applicant graded and created the path to be able to remove dead trees
and vegetation from the rear and sides of the property and provide access for future
maintenance. The entire City has been designated as being located in the Very High
Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) and the removal of dead trees and vegetation is a
requirement of a City Ordinance.
In addition the long frontage of the lot along the roadway easement, of over 600 feet,
causes the size of the net lot area to be diminished due to the deductions taken for the
net lot area.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone, but
which is denied to the property in question. Strict application of the Zoning
Ordinance would deprive the property owner of the rights and benefits enjoyed by
similarly situated properties in the same zone, including the ability to maintain the
slopes and provide access to the lower portion of the lot for both, planting and
maintenance of the property and is in furtherance of City's desire to remove dead trees
and vegetation from properties.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in such vicinity and zone in
which the property is located because the disturbed area for the path is in the rear of the
lot and adjacent area is screened from neighbors. Additional landscaping will assure greater
vegetated buffer between neighboring properties.
D. In granting of the Variance the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance
will be observed inthat the as graded path will not affect the rural character of the
community and a suitable stable and corral area has been set -aside on the site.
E. The Variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling
Hills because while the total disturbed maximum is exceeded by a minor amount, itwascaused
because the owner wished to comply with a portion of the Municipal Code which requires
the removal of dead freesand vegetation. The project retains open space.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings in Sections 6 and 7, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review and a Variance in Zoning Case No, 935 to exceed the
maximum permitted disturbance of the lot of49.7%and to retain the previously aeaed 15,250
sc a footpath that required grading of 3,500 cubic yards of dirt subject to the following
conditions:
A. The Site Plan and Variance approvals shall run with the land and the path may
remain; this approval shall be null and void if the conditions of approval specified below are not
met within the times specified below, or the approval granted is otherwise extended pursuant to
the requirements of Sections 17.46,080 and 17.38.070(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code.

resolution shall be suspended and the privileges granted hereunder shall lapse and upon receipt
of written notice from the City, all construction work being performed on the subject property
shall immediately cease, other than work determined by the City Manager or his/her designee
required to cure the violation. The suspension and stop work order will be lifted once the
Applicant cures the violation to the satisfaction of the City Manager or his/her designee. In the
event that the Applicant disputes the City Manager or his/her designee's determination that a
violation exists or disputes how the violation must be cured, the Applicant may request a hearing
before the City Council. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular meeting of the City
Council for which the agenda has not yet been posted; the Applicant shall be provided written
notice of the hearing. The stop work order shall remain in effect during the pendency of the
hearing. The City Council shall make a determination as to whether a violation of this
Resolution has occurred. If the Council determines that a violation has not occurred or has been
cured by the time of the hearing, the Council will lift the suspension and the stop work order. If
the Council determines that a violation has occurred and has not yet been cured, the Council
shall provide the Applicant with a deadline to cure the violation; no construction work shall be
performed on the property until and unless the violation is cured by the deadline, other than work
designated by the Council to accomplish the cure. If the violation is not cured by the deadline,
