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 staff and the Plaru-ung 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 • • CityO eo l v fl INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 March 20, 2013 Dr. and Mrs. Joel Hollingshead 28 Eastfield Drive Rolling Hills, CA 90274 SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 837, Request for a Variance.
