LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
ORDINANCE NO. 326
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS TO
ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND TO AMEND THE PROVISIONS OF
TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH AN
OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT (OZD-1) AND AMEND MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS OF TITLE 17 (ZONING) REGARDING SETBACKS AND OTHER
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR PROPERTIES WITHIN THE RAS-1
(RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE -SUBURBAN, ONE ACRE MINIMUM LOT SIZE)
ZONING DISTRICT THAT ARE NO MORE THAN 1.25 ACRES IN SIZE AND
AMEND THE CITY'S ZONING MAP, IN ZONING CASE NO. 811, ZONING CODE
AMENDMENT AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO.2012-01.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. In 2007 and 2008, the City Council sought input from community
members in Focus Group meetings on the City's development standards as they relate
to redevelopment of older homes and homes that are located on smaller and unique
lots. On July 6, 2009 at a joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning
Commission, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to study the Focus
Group's recommendations. On November 10, 2010 the Planning Commission formed
an Ad -Hoc Committee to discuss these issues, similar development issues and current
housing construction trends.
Section 2. Members of the Ad -Hoc Committee met several times and with
staff reviewed historical data, development trends in the City, the current development
standards and how they affect development and redevelopment in the City. The
Committee found that some of the current development provisions inhibit
reconstruction on smaller lots in the City.
Section 3. Following its meetings, the Committee presented a summary of its
recommendations to the Planning Commission for consideration. The Planning
Commission discussed the proposed concepts at two public meetings and two public
hearings, after which the Planning Commission adopted a Resolution recommending to
the City Council to adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Code to establish an
Overlay Zoning Districts in two neighborhoods in the City and additionally to allow
reconstruction of non -conforming residences within existing setbacks in the RAS-1
zoning district throughout the City.
Section 4. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA"), Public Resources Code Section 21000 to Section 21177, State
CEQA Guidelines, and the CEQA Guidelines of the City of Rolling Hills, staff prepared
an Initial Study analyzing the proposed Zoning Code amendment and concluded that
the proposed project has no significant effect on the environment; on December 22, 2011
staff issued a Notice of Negative Declaration and a Notice of a Public Hearing of the
Planning Commission by publishing the Notices in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News on
December 22, 2011, mailing the Notices to property owners located in the proposed
Overlay Zoning District and to the Rolling Hills Community Association and noting the
meeting time, date and content in the City's Newsletter.
Section 5. On April 9, 2012 the City Council held a duly noticed public
hearing pursuant to Government Code Section 65854 and Chapter 17.50 of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code to consider the proposed Negative Declaration and the above -
referenced amendments to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, as recommended by the
Planning Commission. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested
in the proposal and from members of the City staff. The City Council reviewed,
analyzed and studied the proposal.
Ordinance No. 326 1
Section 6. After considering the information presented during the public
hearings on this matter, the Planning Commission finds that the Negative Declaration
represents the independent judgment of the City, that it was prepared in compliance
with CEQA, that there will not be a significant effect in this case on the environment.
Section 7: After considering the information presented during the public
hearings on this matter, the City Council finds that the amendments to Title 17 comply
with the requirements of the State Planning and Zoning Laws (Government section
65850 through Section 66403) and are consistent with the Rolling Hills General Plan in
that they preserve and enhance the community's quality living environment and
enhance the visual and physical quality of existing neighborhoods. City's topography
renders large parts of many parcels constrained, thus leaving smaller areas available for
development. Recent residential construction has maximized lot coverage through
extensive grading. The proposed ordinance would allow reconstruction of existing
residences that have non -conforming setbacks to be redeveloped without grading
substantial areas to construct a desired home. The provisions of the proposed
ordinance meet Goal 3, Policy 3.2 of the General Plan, where it states that City is to
maintain strict grading practices to preserve the community's natural terrain, and Goal
2, Policy 2.3 where it states to Maintain and provide regulations for sufficient setbacks
and easements to provide buffers between residential uses.
Section 8. The City Council finds that the amendments to Title 17 are
necessary to preserve the public health, safety and general welfare, while balancing
property rights.
Section 9. The City Council hereby adopts a Negative Declaration, an
Ordinance amending the City's Municipal Code as specified in Exhibit A, attached
hereto and made a part hereof and adopts an amendment to the City's Zoning Map, as
codified in Section 17.08.010 of Title 17, such that an "Overlay Zoning District (OZD-1)
shall be established in the Middleridge Lane North and Williamsburg Lane portion of
the City and the Chuckwagon Road and Chesterfield Road portion of the City, as
depicted in the area outlined in the attached Exhibits "B" and "C" incorporated herein
by this reference.
Section 10: Notice. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this
ordinance and post a certified copy of this ordinance, including the vote for and against
the same, in the office of the City Clerk, in accordance with Government Code Section
36993.
Section 11: Effective date. This ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force
and operation from and after thirty (30) days after its final passage and adoption.

smaller lots, consistent with General Plan policies, in a manner compatible with the
unique character of the neighborhood.
17.17.020 Applicability
The Overlay Zoning District-1 standards apply to lots located as follows:
Middleridge Lane North, within Tract No. 12866, including therein lots 1 through 11,

parcel of land, then that portion of the lot not developed or which is proposed to be
developed with a nonprimary structure shall also have a setback for development
purposes of not less than fifty feet from the roadway easement line.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-11
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
BETWEEN TWO LOTS AT 3 MIDDLERIDGE LANE NORTH
(PORTIONS OF LOT 11-MR) AND 6 MIDDLERIDGE LANE NORTH
(PORTIONS OF LOTS 12, 13,14, AND 15-MR) TO ALTER THE LOTS BY
51,624 SQUARE FEET AND GRANTING A SITE PLAN AND
VARIANCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 945. (TILLES/ WILSON FAMILY
TRUST).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND
ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. Tilles, with respect to real
property located at 3 Middleridge Lane North (Portions of Lot 11-MR) and 6
Middleridge Lane North (Portions of Lots 12, 13, 14, and 15-MR) applying for a Site
Plan Review, Variance, and Lot Line Adjustment between the two parcels of land
shifting 51,624 square feet of land from the property at 6 Middleridge Lane North to
the property at 3 Middleridge Lane North. The variance request is to increase the total
disturbed net lot area from 38% to 46.3% for 6 Middleridge Lane North, which exceeds
the maximum permitted disturbed area of 40%.
Section 2. California Government Code Subsection 66412(d) authorizes lot
line adjustments without requiring a tentative map, parcel map or final map if: (A) The
lot line adjustment involves two or more existing adjacent parcels, where land is
proposed to be taken from one parcel and added to an adjacent parcel; (B) A greater
number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created; (C) The lot line
adjustment will create parcels that conform to local zoning and building ordinances;
and (D) The lot line adjustment is approved by the City. The City may impose
conditions on the Lot Line Adjustment in order to make the lot conform to local zoning
and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the
approval of the Lot Line Adjustment or to facilitate the relocation of existing
infrastructure or easements. (Id.)
Section 3. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code also provides a procedure for the
preparation, filing, processing, and approval or denial of a lot line adjustment
application consistent with the policies of the general plan and the requirements of the
Subdivision Map Act. (See Chapter 16.44 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.) The
Planning Commission, in approving a lot line adjustment, shall adopt conditions only
as necessary to conform the adjustment parcels to the requirements of Title 17 (Zoning)
and Title 15 (Building and Construction), or to facilitate the relocation of existing
utilities, infrastructure, trails or easements. (See RHMC Section 16.44.040.)

Lot Line Adjustment / Site Plane Review / Variance
1
Section 4. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
on July 17, 2018 at the regular evening Planning Commission meeting. At that time, the
Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution of approval. No
neighboring residents inquired about the proposed lot line adjustment.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically
exempt pursuant to Section 15305, Class 5 of the California Environmental Quality Act,
(CEQA).
Section 6. RHMC Section 16.44.040 requires the Planning Commission to
make findings in order to approve a lot line adjustment application. The Planning
Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, in connection with this
application and with respect to the lot line adjustment application, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings:
A. The adjustment will not have the effect of creating a greater number of
parcels than existed before the adjustment.
B. The parcels resulting from the adjustment will not conflict with any
applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance after a variance is granted. The loss of
square footage for the property at 6 Middleridge Lane North will result in an increase in
disturbed area from 38% to 46.3%. The maximum disturbance allowed on a lot is 40%.
Therefore, a variance is requested
C. The adjustment will not result in an increase in the number of
nonconforming parcels once a variance is granted. As discussed, a variance is requested
to address the increase in disturbance beyond the 40% maximum for the property at 6
Middleridge Lane North.
Section 7. Section 17.46.050 of RHMC requires the Commission to make
findings in order to approve a site plan review application. The Planning Commission
has considered the evidence, both written and oral, in connection with this application
and with respect to the Site Plan application for the lot line adjustment, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings:
A. The proposed lot line adjustment is compatible with the General Plan, the
Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the existing structures comply with
the General PIan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with
sufficient open space between surrounding structures and maintaining sufficient
setbacks to provide buffers between residential uses. And the uses on the lots promote
the rural aesthetic of Rolling Hills.
B. The lot line adjustment substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot as there is no additional development proposed at this
time.
Reso. 2018-11 2
3 and 6 Middleridge Lane North Lot Line Adjustment / Site Plane Review / Variance
• •
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences. The project is consistent with the scale of the
neighborhood in the City. Since the lot line adjustment will not change the level of
development on the properties the lot line adjustment will not result in any less
consistency with the scale of the neighborhood in the City. Since there are no proposed
developments at this time.
D. There is no construction or grading proposed on the site, and therefore the
project preserves the site design and existing topographic features of the site.
E. . Since there is no new grading proposed on the property, the existing
natural contours on the site are maintained.
F. Since there is no new grading proposed on the property, the existing
drainage channels and flow will not be modified or redirected.
G. There is no construction or grading proposed on the site, and therefore the
project preserves the surrounding vegetation and mature trees.The lot line adjustment
is compatible with the rural character of the community and makes no change to the
existing conditions because no development is proposed with the lot line adjustment.
H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenient and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles because there is no change
in ingress/egress along the roadway easement or roadway improvements along the
borders of the properties.
I. The project conforms to the requirements of CEQA; as previously stated,
the project is exempt from CEQA, 14 CCR Section 15305, Class 5 of the CEQA
guidelines.
Section 8. With respect to the Lot Line Adjustment approval and Site Plan
Review approval, the Planning Commission imposes the following conditions:
A. The Lot Line Adjustment approval shall expire within two years from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.070, unless otherwise extended
pursuant to the requirements of this section.
B. The lot line adjustment approval shall not in any way constitute any
representation that the adjusted lots can be developed even if in compliance with
current zoning and building ordinance standards. No development, including study of
soils, geology, hydrology, grading, and other requirements, shall occur on the
properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning
requirements and other applicable rules and regulations.
Reso. 2018-11 3
3 and 6 Middleridge Lane North Lot Line Adjustment / Site Plane Review / Variance
C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's
application of the Site Plan Review or other regulations or codes to the lots at such time
as an application is made for development.
D. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of
this Resolution for approval to be effective.
E. There shall be easements within the adjusted boundaries of the lots, as
required by the Rolling Hills Community Association. Section 16.20.230 of the Rolling
Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that easements, the width of which are to be
determined by the RHCA, be dedicated for bridle trail and utility purposes over the
strips and portions of land within and abutting upon the property lines and will be
recorded concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment. The
maps and legal descriptions showing the new property lines shall be attached to the
Certificate of Compliance, which shall be a separate recorded document.
F. The Certificate of Compliance shall not be issued until a legal description
complying with the delineation of adjustment, and including the required easements
and trails, if any, are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval
of the legal descriptions of the new adjusted lines a Certificate of Compliance shall be
issued by the City, shall be recorded by the property owner in the offices of the Los
Angeles County Recorder, and evidence of the recordation shall be returned to the City.
G. The applicant shall record the deeds of the properties effectuating the
transfer concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for the Lot Line Adjustment
and shall submit proof of such recordation to the City of Rolling Hills.
Section 9. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code permit approval of Variances granting relief from the standards and requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to
the property prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same
extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity or zone.
A variance from the requirements of Sections 17.16.070(B) of the Zoning
Ordinance is required due to the increase in disturbance over the 40% limit for one of
the properties.
With respect to the aforementioned request for a variance, the Planning
Commission finds as follows:
1. There are exceptional circumstances and conditions on the subject
properties. Both properties traverse a roadway easement providing for odd -shaped lots
which affects lot coverage, setbacks, and disturbance. The lot line adjustment provides
for the opportunity for additional development to 3 Middleridge Lane North and
Reso. 2018-11 4
3 and 6 Middleridge Lane North Lot Line Adjustment / Site Plane Review / Variance
reduces the maintenance needs of the 6 Middleridge Lane North since no additional
improvement could be built or maintained on the lot for 6 Middleridge Lane North's
use. By reducing the size of 6 Middleridge Lane North, the percentage of the total
disturbance for that lot increases beyond the 40% maximum allowed percentage from
37.98% to 46.3%. No new construction is being proposed. Therefore, the variance will
not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to either of the
properties.
2. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity and
zone but which is denied to the property in question by strict application of the code.
The area that 6 Middleridge Lane North is transferring away is located across the street
which is not convenient or conducive to development. By reducing the size of 6
Middleridge Lane North, the percentage of the total disturbance for that lot increases
beyond the 40% maximum allowed percentage from 37.98% to 46.3%. No new
construction is being proposed. Therefore, the variance is necessary for 6 Middleridge
Lane North to preserve and enjoy the property right possessed by other property
owners in the same vicinity; other property owners in the vicinity do not have a
roadway easement traversing through their properties making development
inconvenient or impossible.
3. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the properties because no development is proposed at this
time.
4. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance will
be observed in that the two lots are orderly, attractive, and do not detrimentally affect
the rural character of the community. Additional development is not proposed at this
time and the existing improvements are cohesive with the rural character of the area.
5. The variance will not grant special privilege to the applicants because
there is very little change to the two properties and the benefits gained are consistent
with other elements enjoyed by adjacent properties.
6. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities because it does not affect any hazardous waste facilities.
7. The variance is consistent with the general plan of the City of Rolling Hills. The
proposed project, together with the variance, will be compatible with the objectives,
policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and will uphold
the City's goals to protect and promote construction that is rural in nature.
