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. Give Kamali with respect to real property located at 21 Middleridge Lane North (Lot 3-MR), Rolling Hills requesting a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the expansion of a front entry at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on September 21, 1999 and October 19, 1999, and at a field trip visit on October 12, 1999. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA 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 a front yard of fifty feet (50') from the front easement line. The applicant is requesting to add 28 square feet for the expansion of a front entry which will encroach a maximum of forty-three feet (43') into the fifty foot (50') front yard setback. 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 residence is located close to the street and adjacent residences. The existing development pattern on the lot and the sloping rear portion precludes continued expansion of the residence on the lot. 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, RESOLUTION NO. 99-17 PAGE 1 • • but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because by allowing incursion into the front yard there will not be any greater incursion into the front yard setback than already exists. 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. 601 to permit the encroachment of 28 square feet of additional residential space into the front yard setback with a maximum encroachment of forty-three feet (43') into the fifty foot (50') 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 6 of this Resolution. Section 6. The Variance to the front yard setback approved in Section 5 is subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.38.070. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance approval, 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 and has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days. C. All requirements of the Buildings and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan. D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file dated August 31, 1999 and marked Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. F. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of these Variance approvals, or the approvals shall not be effective. G. All conditions of this Variance approval must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building permit from the County of Los Angeles.
