A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL FOR GRADING IN ORDER TO ENLARGE A PATIO
AND TO CONSTRUCT A RETAINING WALL AND DETACHED
TRELLISES IN ZONING CASE NO. 679 AT 16 CINCHRING ROAD
(LOT 21-CH), (WALLACE).
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. Fred Wallace with
respect to real property located at 16 Cinchring Road, (Lot 21-CH), Rolling Hills,
CA requesting a Site Plan Review to permit grading to enlarge a patio area, to
construct a retaining wall not to exceed 8 feet in height and to construct detached
trellises.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the application on December 16, 2003 and January 20, 2004.
The field trip public hearing was cancelled due to lack of quorum. However,
each Commissioner visited the subject project with the Planning Director
separately. 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 Planning
Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The
applicants' representative was in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as
a Class 4 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be
submitted for Site Plan Review and approval before any grading requiring a
grading permit or 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 requesting grading and
a new wall, 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 grading,
trellises and wall will, not alter 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. The graded area will not exceed 1,000 square feet of cut and 1,000
square feet of fill. The proposed wall will be located along the rear yard setback,
but will not encroach into the setback. The proposed project is not visible from
the road. The disturbed area of the lot will be 38.4%, which is within the 40%
maximum permitted, and includes the future stable.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
wall and trellises will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant
portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the
property. The existing vegetation on the parcel will remain and will screen the
enlarged patio and wall from the neighbors. The nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of
the lot have been considered, and the grading and construction of the wall and
trellises will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent
uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed development will be located
on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will
be screened and landscaped, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so
that the proposed construction will not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors, and will substantially utilize the existing building pad
for the new construction.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. 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.
D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. The enlargement of the patio and the
construction of the wall and trellises will not deter from the rural character of the
community.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this
project will involve 169 cubic yards of cut and 169 cubic yards of fill and will be
balanced on site.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed development does not later the existing circulation.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case
No. 679 for grading to enlarge a patio and to construct a retaining wall and
detached trellises as shown on the Development Plan dated December 9, 2003,
and marked Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions:
