Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the project require a
Variance.
The owners have proposed I36.5 square -feet of additional structure, of which 621 square -feet will be
constructed within the 50' front yard setback, and 2.8 square -feet will be constructed within the 20'
side yard setback. The addition consists of two restrooms and will be added to the northwesterly
portion of the existing residence.
-12-
• •
Criteria to be satisfied for .arant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and zone.
- The existing building was built when the front yard setback was 30'. Consequently, when the front yard
setback was increased to 50', a portion of the residence then became a legal & non -conforming
- encroachment. Therefore, constructing an addition to the legal & non -conforming portion of the
residence is an exceptional and extraordinary circumstance that does not apply generally to other
properties in the same vicinity and zone.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located because
The encroaching structure does not protrude westerly or northerly pass the existing building plane
FILING FEE
A filing fee must accompany the application. Make check payable to: CITY OF ROLLING

RESOLUTION NO. 2013-06
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT
A 136.5 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY 63 SQUARE
FEET WOULD ENCROACH INTO THE FRONT SETBACK AND 2.8 SQUARE
FEET INTO THE SIDE YARD SETBACK, IN ZONING CASE NO. 837 AT 28
EASTFIELD DRIVE, (LOT 87-A-EF), (HOLLINGSHEAD). THE PROJECT HAS
BEEN DETERMINED TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Hollingshead with
respect to real property located at 28 Eastfield Drive, Rolling Hills, CA (Lot 87-A-
EF) requesting a Variance to construct a 136.5 square foot addition to the existing
residence of which approximately 66 square feet would encroach into the front
and side yard setbacks.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application at a field visit and at a regular meeting on March 19, 2013.
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 s aff and the Planning Commission
having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicant and their
agents were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. At the field visit to the property, the Planning Commission directed
staff to prepare a Resolution of approval for consideration at the April 16, 2013
regular meeting of the Planning Commission.
Section 4. The property is zoned RAS-1 and consists of 0.94 acres (excluding
roadway easement). The net lot area for development purposes is 32,664 square
feet. The property is developed with a 3,579 square foot residence, 1,232 square
foot garage, 763 square foot swimming pool and spa, 53 square foot pool
equipment area, 133 square foot shed and 299 square feet covered porches at the
house. Approximately 700 square feet of the existing residence encroaches into the
front yard setback and 220 square feet of the garage encroaches into the south side
yard setback.
Section 5. An area for a future stable and corral has been designated in the rear
of the property.
Section 6. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1
Exemption, Existing Facilities, and is therefore categorically exempt from
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
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 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 17.16.060
is required because it states that every lot in the RAS-1 zone shall have a front
setback of not less than 50 feet from the roadway easement and 20 feet from the
side property line. The applicants request a Variance to construct an addition that
would encroach 10 feet into the front setback and 2.8 feet into the side setback.
With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as
follows:
ZC NO. 837 1
• •
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and
conditions applicable to this property that do not apply generally to other
properties or class of uses in the same zone because the configuration of the
existing structure, which encroaches into the front setback, prevent further
expansion, except into the setback. In addition the proposed encroachment would
follow the limits of the structure in the side of the property. The Commission
further finds that the configuration of the existing residence and interior layout of
the residence creates a hardship to improving the property.
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 right and benefits
enjoyed by similarly situated properties in the same zone. The encroachment
permits the use of the lot to the extent allowed for other properties with similar lot
configurations. The encroachment will be behind the line of the current
encroachment of the residence.
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. Development in the front setback is
minimal and is behind the existing line of encroachment. The area of addition
would not impair views. The structural lot coverage and the total impervious lot
coverage are within the requirements of the City.
D. In granting of the Variance the spirit and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance will be observed in that the proposed addition will be orderly,
attractive and shall protect the rural character of the community. The proposed
addition will not encroach into potentially future equestrian uses on the property.
A suitable stable and corral area exists on the site.
E. The Variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City
of Rolling Hills because the proposed structures comply with the General Plan
requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient
open space between surrounding structures. The structural lot coverage and the
total impervious lot coverage are within the requirements of the City.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby
approves the Variance in Zoning Case No. 837 to encroach ten feet into the front
setback with 63 square feet and 2.8 square feet into the side setback subject to the
following conditions:
A. The Variance approval shall expire within two years from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.38.070, unless otherwise
extended pursuant to the requirements of this section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the
privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been
given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has been
provided, and if requested, has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails to
correct the violation within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the City's
determination.
C. All requirements of the Buildings and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, including, but not be limited to lighting, roofing and
undergrounding of utility lines requirements, and of the zone in which the subject
property is located must be complied with unless otherwise set forth in this
permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan.
ZC NO. 837 2
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial
conformance .with the site plan on file dated March 13, 2013 except as otherwise
provided in these conditions.
E. The property on which the project is located contains an adequate set
aside area for a future stable and corral, and shall remain on site.
F. The net lot area for development purposes is 32,664 square feet. The
structural coverage of the net lot shall not exceed 6,472 square feet (without
allowances) or 19.81%, including future stable, which is within the maximum 20%
permitted. The total coverage (structures and flatwork) shall not exceed 11,144
square feet or 34.12%, which is within the 35% maximum permitted.
G. The disturbed area of the lot is 72.5%, and is legal non -conforming. No
grading, other than excavation for footings and backfilling, or additional
disturbance is permitted for this project.
H. The existing residential building pad is 16,237 square feet and will
have coverage of 34.8%. The pool pad is 6,958 square feet with coverage of 19.6%,
including the future stable.
I. Perimeter easements and trails, including roadway easements shall
remain free and clear of any improvements including, but not be limited to,
fences -including construction fences, landscaping, irrigation and drainage devices,
play equipment, vehicles, building materials, debris and equipment, unless
approved by Rolling Hills Community Association.
J. Any landscaping introduced on this property shall be designed
using trees and shrubs so as to screen the residence but not to obstruct views from
