" • A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF 1 biE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 542. RESOLUTION NO. 805 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application has been filed by Dr. and Mrs. Richard Oas with respect to real property located at 40 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 119-RH), requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of substantial additions to an existing single family residence. Section 2. On January 21, 1997, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 97-1 approving a request for Site Plan Review to construct substantial additions to an existing single family residence. During the hearing process, the Planning Commission discussed, among other issues, the size of the residence and landscape screening of the residence from the road. Section 3. On January 27, 1997, the City Council took the case under jurisdiction. The Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the appeal on February 10, 1997 and February 24, 1997, and at a field trip visit on February 20, 1997. During the hearing process, the Council discussed concerns related to required passageway from the existing residence to the proposed additions and limiting the number of kitchens for the project to one kitchen. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff and the City Council having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. Section 4. The City Council 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 5. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval for any grading requiring a grading permit and before 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 or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review for substantial residential and garage additions to an existing residence. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the City Council 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 structure complies with 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 lot has a net square foot area of 197,119 square feet. The proposed residence (7,748 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,560 sq.ft.), swimming pool spa (882 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.) and existing stable (667 sq.ft.) will have 10,953 square feet which constitutes 5.9% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 29,825 square feet which equals 15.9%, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. B. The proposed development preserves and integrates into the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing natural topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing neighboring residences. Resolution No. 805 -1- The development plan follows natu• ontours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the northeast side (rear) of this lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs, and augments them with a landscape plan that will screen the project's visibility from the street. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The percentage of pad coverage will not exceed the Planning Commission's established guideline. Further, the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions of the property. F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded. The proposed project is consistent with the scale of other homes in the immediate neighborhood when compared to the large size of the lot. Only a moderate amount of grading is permitted. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize a new driveway from Portuguese Bend Road for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for construction of substantial additions to an existing single family residence as indicated on the Development Plan marked, Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 542, subject to the conditions specified in Section 7. Section 7. The Site Plan Review application approved in Section 6 of this Resolution is subject to the following conditions: A.
