A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT
ENCROACHMENT INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO
CONSTRUCT A RESIDENCE AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 531.
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. William Rogers
with respect to real property located at 20 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot
58-RH) requesting a Variance to permit encroachment into the front yard setback to
construct a residence and Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single
family residence.
Section 2. The Planning 'Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications, on September 19, 1995 and October 17, 1995, and
at a field trip visit on September 30, 1995. The Traffic Commission reviewed the
relocation of the driveway on November 30, 1995.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 3 Exemption (State CA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. 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 the front yard setback for every residential parcel to be fifty
(50) feet. The applicant is requesting to encroach up to a maximum 32 feet into the
50 foot front yard setback to construct a single family residence. 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 because the lot is a long and narrow
irregular -shaped lot. The existing legal nonconforming residence was built with the
front yard setback and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The new
residence will be constructed to allow open space near the front of the residence.
• •
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 it
avoids the necessity of grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot
and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists
at the existing site and at other property in the same vicinity. Also, the Variance
will permit the development of the property in a manner similar to development
patterns on surrounding properties.
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.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 531 to permit the construction of
a residence that will encroach a maximum of thirty-two (32) feet into the front yard
setback, 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 8 of this Resolution.
Section 6. 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 with the
Variance approved in Sections 5 of this Resolution. The lot has a net square foot
area of 178,085 square feet. The proposed residence (6,528 sq.ft.), guest house/garage
(1,113 sq.ft.), swimming pool (650 sq.ft.), and covered patio (161 sq.ft.) will have 9,452
square feet which constitutes 5.3% of the lot which is within the maximum 20%
structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas
and driveway will be 20,152 square feet which equals 11.3% of the lot, which is
within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project
is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located below the
road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development.
RESOLUTION NO. 95-19
PAGE 2 OF 6
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, drainage courses, and
land forms (such as hillsides and knolls). The lot is relatively flat, grading will not
be required, and most of the mature trees will not be removed. Grading will only be
done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence
and existing neighboring residences.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at
the east side (rear) of this lot.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves several mature trees and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that
is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
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. Further,
the proposed project will not require grading, will have a buildable pad coverage of
32.6%, and significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The
development plans will preserve one of the major trails in the City and also
minimize impact on Portuguese Bend Road. The removal of an existing
garage/workshop will minimize impact of the structures and the additions
proposed will not be visible from Portuguese Bend Road. Significant portions of the
lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northeasterly
portions of the property.
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 when compared to this
irregular -shaped lot. 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 because the
proposed project will close an existing driveway and replace and relocate one former
vehicular access that will have less of an impact on Portuguese Bend Road.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental
review.

S.ction 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 531 for a
proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan

with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these
conditions.
E. There shall be only a single driveway access to Portuguese Bend Road
as shown on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A that is 50 feet
north of the existing driveway which shall be closed before final building inspection.
F. The driveway apron shall be a minimum of 25 feet in width for access
from Portuguese Bend Road.
G. The driveway apron shall be scored to accommodate equestrian

feasible, plants that are native to the area and/or consistent with the rural character
of the community.
A bond in the amount of the cost estimate of the implementation of the

approval of zoning case no. 531, resolution no. 95-19.
Our approval from the Architectural Committee took much
longer than we had anticipated. We are currently in the final
stages of design and working drawings.

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC COMMISSION REVIEW REGARDING ZONING CASE NO.
531.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Rogers:
At the regular meeting of the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission held Thursday,
November 30, 1995, Commissioners took action to recommend approval of the
relocation of your driveway. This recommendation will contain the following
conditions:
• That the driveway apron be a minimum of twenty-five feet in width.
• That the driveway apron be scored to accommodate equestrian activity.
• That you manage the foliage growth on your side of the roadway in a northerly
direction to accommodate sight distance.
This recommendation of the Traffic Commission will be incorporated into the
Planning Commission Resolution of Approval for consideration by the Planning
Commission on Tuesday, December 19, 1995.
Should you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call. Thank you for
your cooperation.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 531
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Rogers:
As you are no doubt aware, the Planning Commission approved your site plan for
reconstruction of your existing single family residence at 20 Portuguese Bend Road.
In your application, you have proposed to relocate the driveway 50 feet north of the
existing location to a previously existing access now covered by landscaping. This
request requires review by the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission and approval of the
City Council.
We have scheduled your request to be considered by the Traffic Commission at their
regular meeting to be held on Thursday, November 30, 1995, beginning at 8:30 a.m.,
in the Rolling Hills City Council Chambers. It would be helpful if you could please
arrange for your architect to have the driveway opening staked as it meets the
roadway. It is anticipated that the Traffic Commission will conduct a field trip on
that same date to review this request in the field.
Your cooperation has been appreciated. Should you wish to discuss this further,
please do not hesitate to call. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you or your
representative on November 30th.
Sincerely,
/1/4
