THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. A. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Steven Wheeler
with respect to real property located at 38 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, requesting
a modification to a previously approved project for grading of 305 cubic yards of cut and
305 cubic yards of fill, balanced on site; construction of approximately 192' long, 5' high
retaining wall to flatten and enlarge the pool building pad and to construct an 860 square
foot solid roof covered patio. A 90 square foot spa and 90 square foot pool equipment area
were also approved.
B. The request for modification consists of the construction of
two 2'-6"walls, rather than one 5' high retaining wall. One of the walls (interior wall -
closer to the swimming pool pad) would be a retaining wall and the outer wall would
be a rubble wall. A 2'6" wide planting area is proposed between the walls. No other
modifications are required .to accomplish the construction of the terraced walls.
Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a duly noticed public hearing
on June 17, 2014, at which time information was presented indicating the necessity for the
modification.
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 Citystaff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and
studied said proposal. The applicants and their representative were in attendance at the
hearing.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project to modify Zoning
Case No. 843 qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption, and is therefore categorically exempt from
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Section 4. Section 17.46.070 of the Zoning Ordinance provides procedures for
the request of modification to approved projects. The City Manager or his/her designee
shall determine if the modification is "major" or "minor". The City Manager or his/her
designee may act on a minor modification. A major modification shall be considered a
new project and requires a new application. Staff deemed the modification a "major"
modification, which requires Planning Commission review under the Site Plan Review
process.
Section 5. Section 17.46.050 of the Zoning Ordinance require the Planning
Commission to make certain findings to lawfully grant a request for Site Plan Review.
When the Planning Commission previously granted the Site Plan Review the required
findings were set forth in Section 6 of Resolution No. 2014-04. The Planning Commission
hereby determines that the findings contained in that prior resolution are applicable to
and can be made again in their entirety as the findings for the project as modified and are
accordingly incorporated herein by reference.
Section 6. Based upon information and evidence submitted, the Planning
Commission does hereby amend Resolution No. 2014-04, dated February 18, 2014, as
follows:
A. Paragraph B of Section 8 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
B. The approval granted under Zoning Case No. 843, as amended herein, shall expire
within two years from the effective date of approval of this modification if construction
pursuant to this approval has not commenced within that time period, as required by

follows:
K. Two not to exceed 2'6" high walls are herby approved along the swimming
pool/guest house -building pad. One of the walls (interior wall -closer to the swimming
pool pad) may be a retaining wall and the outer wall may be a rubble wall. A 2'6" wide
planting area shall be maintained at all times between the walls.

SOLID ROOF COVERED PATIO AND A VARIANCE FOR A RETAINING
WALL, WHICH ON THE AVERAGE EXCEEDS 2 1/2 FEET IN HEIGHT IN

ROLLING HILLS, CA. THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
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. Steven Wheeler with
respect to real property located at 38 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 118-RH)
requesting a Site Plan Review to construct one, approximately 192' long, 5' high retaining
wall to flatten and enlarge the pool building pad and to construct an 860 square foot solid
roof covered patio. A 90 square foot spa and 90 square foot pool equipment area are also
proposed. Grading will consist of 305 cubic yards of cut and 305 cubic yards of fill, which
will be balanced on site. A Variance is requested because the retaining wall will not
average out to 2.5' in height. The applicants show a 720 square foot future stable and
corral site below the pool area, 25 feet from the rear property line. Additional would be
required when the stable and corral are constructed.
Section 2. Following several public hearings and two field trips at which the
Planning Commissioners and members of the public expressed concerns about the project,
the applicants revised their project for the second time. For this second revision, the
Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on January 21, 2014. 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 and their representatives were in attendance at the
hearings.
Section 3. The lot is 5.08-acre in size in the RAS-2 zoning district. Portuguese
Bend Road divides the property, where approximately 47,500 square feet of the lot (1.07
acres) is located on the west side of the road and the remaining on the east side of the
road. Portuguese Bend Road roadway easement along this lot is 80 feet wide. The portion
east of Portuguese Bend Road is developed with 5,112 square foot residence, 761 square
foot garage, 773 square foot swimming pool, 653 square foot guest house, covered
porches, entryway and service yard. The portion of the lot west of the road is
undeveloped.
ZC No. 843 1
Section 4. The net lot area for development purposes is 4.43 acres or 192,980
square feet, which excludes the roadway easement. The property is steep, except where
already developed. There are two trails on the property; Si s Trail along the bottom on
the west side of the lot and Georgeff Trail along the eastern side of the lot
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3
Exemption, and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 6. Section 17.46.030 of the Zoning Ordinance 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. Section 17.16.200H
requires a development plan to be submitted for Site Plan Review for solid roof covered
patio, if such patio together with other detached miscellaneous structures exceed 800
square feet and Section 17.16.190F requires a Site Plan review for walls over 3 feet in
height. Grading is required for these improvements. With respect to the Site Plan Review
application for grading and for the improvements the Planning Commission makes the
following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan and surrounding
uses because the proposed project complies with the requirement of low profile, low -
density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding
structures. The grading for the improvements are minor (305 cubic yards of cut and 305
cubic yards of fill) on a large lot), and are not contained in a concentrated area, therefore
the lot would not have the appearance of having unnatural terrain, as all of the grading
blend into a natural looking condition. The cut and fill do not exceed 5 feet, which is the
maximum permitted without a variance. The proposed wall will be screened so as to
reduce the visual impact of the development.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of
the lot because the new improvements will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. The
proposed covered patio will be located on the existing pool building pad (although
enlarged through the grading). The 5' wall is required to minimize grading to create a
larger building pad. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to
maintain open space on the property. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent
uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and
the construction will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed improvements will be constructed on a
portion of the lot which is least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and
landscaped with plants and shrubs, is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that
the proposed project will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
ZC No. 843 2
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with
the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The proposed project is consistent
with the scale of the neighborhood, as it is on a large lot.
D. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to the maximum extend
practicable to accomplish groomed and usable areas of the lot. Natural drainage courses
will not be affected by the project. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor
redirect drainage flow. The project is not located in a canyon or on existing slopes that
exceed 25%.
E. The project preserves much of the exiting vegetation and mature trees. The
development plan will introduce drought -tolerant landscaping, which is compatible with
and enhances the rural character of the community, and the landscaping will provide a
buffer or transition area between private and public areas. A landscaping plan has been
filed with the City.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience
and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed
development will utilize the existing driveway.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
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 from Section 17.16.190F is requested because it states that walls
may not exceed 5' on the average of 2 1/2 feet in height. The applicants request a Variance
to allow the entire wall to be 5' in height. 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
this property that do not apply generally to the other properties in the same zone. The
property is unique in that the original grading and construction created several terraced
areas, and in order to enlarge one of the terraced flat area a retaining wall is required. The
steep slopes between the terraces cannot accommodate a short, less than 5' walls, without
having to re -grade the upper pad. The swimming pool building pad is already developed
with the swimming pool and a guest house, so in order to create more usable area of the
lot the pad needs to be enlarged, thus the requirement for the retaining wall.
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
ZC No. 843 3
would be denied to the property in question absent a variance. Many of the homes in the
area are developed with walls that on the average exceed 2.5' in height. The proposed
activity is compatible with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The Land Use
Element of the General Plan establishes the maintenance of strict grading practices to
preserve the community's natural terrain. The Building Code and the Zoning Ordinance
require a balanced cut and fill ratio and do not permit import or export of soil, except
under special circumstances applicable to a property and with a discretionary permission
by the Planning Commission. The project conforms to the grading requirements, Zoning
Code setbacks and lot coverage requirements.
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. The proposed wall will not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without
deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners.
D. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance will be
observed. The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to regulate development in an orderly
fashion and in a manner consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
Approval of the variance will not impede any goals of the Zoning Ordinance or the
General Plan. Rather, the variance will allow the property owner to enjoy the same rights
and privileges afforded to other property owners in the vicinity. The 'requested variance is
not substantial and does not undermine the spirit or intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
E. The variance does not grant special privileges to the applicant. The applicant
revised their application and reduced the scope of structures several times since the initial
submittal. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open
space on the property. The structures will be screened. The nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot
have been considered, and the construction will not adversely affect or be materially
detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed structures
will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is least intrusive to surrounding
properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is of sufficient distance
from nearby residences and will substantially utilize the existing relatively flat area for the
new construction.
F. 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.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings in Sections, 6 and 7, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review and Variances application in Zoning
Case No. 843 for grading, construction of an 860 square foot covered patio and a 5'
ZC No. 843

extended pursuant to the requirements of those sections.
C. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any conditions
thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted
hereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have 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.
