Mtg. Date: 2/24/97 FEBRUARY 24, 1997 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CRAIG R. NEALIS, CITY MANAGER LOLA M. UNGAR, PRINCIPAL PLANNER ZONING CASE NO. 542 Dr. and Mrs. Richard Oas, 40 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 119-RH) AN APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. BACKGROUND 1. The City Council viewed a staking of the proposed project on February 20, 1997 after taking the subject case under jurisdiction at the January 27, 1997 meeting. 2. The Planning Commission approved the attached resolution on January 21, 1997 at their regular meeting (3-2). Commissioners Margeta and Sommer opposed the project. During the hearing process, the Planning Commission discussed, among other issues, the size of the residence, the size of the residence relative to adjacent residences, and landscape screening of the residence from the road. 3. The applicants are requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of 5,770 square feet of residential additions and 930 square feet of garage additions (4- cars) to their existing 1,978 square foot residence and 630 square foot 2-car garage. The new residence will be 7,748 square feet and have 1,560 square feet of garage space. The additions will step down from the 529.57 foot elevation of the existing residence from east to west to the 527.87 foot elevation and then north to the 524.87 foot elevation, north to the 526.37 foot elevation where the one portion will step down to the north to the 524.87 foot elevation and up to the east to the 527.87 foot elevation, and finally, east to the existing 529.37 foot elevation. Some areas of the new residence will be 4.5 feet below the existing residential portion of the project. ZONING CASE NO. 542 PAGE 1 Printed on Recycled Paper. • • There is also a new driveway access that is proposed from Portuguese Bend Road that will be relocated from the existing driveway that is within the southwest easement and will be 80 feet from the southern property line. The new driveway will have a slope of 6.2% off Portuguese Bend Road. The existing driveway will be vacated. The new driveway access was reviewed by the Traffic Commission and recommended the following: • That the driveway apron be 24 feet in width; • That the driveway apron be scored for equestrian purposes; and • That the southerly most portion of the driveway apron shall be located 80 feet north of the property line as marked in the field. 4. Staff prepared a table showing the sizes of a total of 29 residences along Portuguese Bend Road south to Poppy Trail that also includes 4 residences both east and west on Crest Road as requested by the Commission. To be consistent, we used the Assessor maps and information. The entire residential structure will be 40 feet from the side property line and encroach into the 50 foot side yard setback required by the Zoning Code. This requires a Variance. But, to preclude the need for a Variance, the applicants applied to the Community Association to reduce the southern 25 foot easement to 10 feet and the Association agreed. The applicant is currently preparing the required documentation. Thus, once the agreement is recorded, the side yard setback would then be reduced to 35 feet. [See Section 17.16.120(B) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code]. The recordation 'has not yet taken place and is a required condition of the Resolution. The plans show drainage that will flow to the canyon at the northeast instead of the current drainage that flows to the north towards Mrs. Ridder's property (38 Portuguese Bend Road). Staff had noted that Ms. Janice Coale, 5772 Capeswood Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, and caregiver for Mrs. Ridder at 38 Portuguese Bend Road, who came to City Hall on September 23, 1996, to voice her concern about drainage onto Mrs. Ridder's property that has been a problem in the past. 5. There is an existing 667 square foot stable with a corral that is more than 550 square feet. Access to the stable will be from the proposed driveway access at Portuguese Bend Road (6.2% slope) and then from the circular driveway along a path to the north at a 6.7% slope. 6. The structural lot coverage proposed is 10,953 square feet or 5.9% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 29,825 square feet or 15.9% (35% permitted). ZONING CASE NO. 542 PAGE 2 • • 7. The 35,895 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of 10,286 square feet or 28.6%. The existing 12,050 square foot stable pad coverage is 667 square feet or 5.5%. Total building pad coverage will be 22.8%. 8. Grading for the project site will require 3,190 cubic yards of cut soil and 3,190 cubic yards of fill soil. 9. The disturbed area of the lot will be 56,681 square feet or 30.3% (40% permitted). 10. Building permits show that the existing house was built in 1951 along with a 630 square foot garage and apartment. A stable was built at the northeast portion of the lot at the same time. In 1977, a swimming pool was constructed. 11. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council open the public hearing and take public testimony.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION 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. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on July 16, 1996, August 20, 1996, September 17, 1996, October 15, 1996, November 19, 1996 and December 17, 1996, and at field trip visits on August 3, 1996 and December 7, 1996. 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. 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. 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 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 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.) RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 1 OF 5 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. C. The development plan follows natural contours 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. RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 2 OF 5 Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission 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 6. Section 6. The Site Plan Review application approved in Section 5 of this Resolution is subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan Review approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.46.080. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review approvals, 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 marked, Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 542 dated January 15, 1997, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. Grading shall not exceed 3,190 cubic yards of cut soil and 3,190 cubic yards of fill soil. F. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. G. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 28.6%. H. Maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 30.3% of the net lot area. I. Landscaping shall incorporate and preserve, to the maximum extent feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape screening surrounding the proposed building pad. J. Landscaping shall incorporate. to the maximum extent feasible, trees and shrubs to screen the residence from the street. RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 3 OF 5 K. Two copies of a landscape plan must be submitted for review by the Planning Department and include native drought -resistant vegetation that will not disrupt the impact of the views of neighboring properties prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. The landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and intent of the Site Plan Review Ordinance, shall incorporate existing mature trees and native vegetation, and shall utilize to the maximum extent feasible, plants that are native to the area and/or consistent with the rural character of the community. A bond in the amount of the cost estimate of the implementation of the landscaping plan plus 15% shall be required to be posted prior to issuance of a grading and building permit and shall be retained with the City for not less than two years after landscape installation. The retained bond will be released by the City Manager after the City Manager determines that the landscaping was installed pursuant to the landscaping plan as approved, and that such landscaping is properly established and in good condition. L. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, an Agreement between the applicants and the Community Association to reduce the southern 25 foot easement to 10 feet to allow a 35 foot side yard setback shall be recorded, or the approval shall not be effective. M. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio. N. 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. O. Notwithstanding Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional development shall require the filing of a new application for Site Plan Review approval by the Planning Commission. P. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review, pursuant to Section 17.42.060, or the approval shall not be effective. Q. All conditions of this Site Plan Review approvals must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION 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. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on July 16, 1996, August 20, 1996, September 17, 1996, October 15, 1996, November 19, 1996 and December 17, 1996, and at field trip visits on August 3, 1996 and December 7, 1996. 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. 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. 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 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 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.) RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 1 OF 5 • • 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. C. The development plan follows natural contours 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.

UNGAR, PRINCIPAL PLANNER ZONING CASE NO. 542 Dr. and Mrs. Richard Oas, 40 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 119-RH) REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. BACKGROUND 1. The City Council took the subject case under jurisdiction at the January 27, 1997 meeting. 2. The Planning Commission approved the attached resolution on January 21, 1997 at their regular meeting (3-2). Commissioners Margeta and Sommer opposed the project. During the hearing process, the Planning Commission discussed, among other issues, the size of the residence, the size of the residence relative to adjacent residences, and landscape screening of the residence from the road. 3. The applicants are requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of 5,770 square feet of residential additions and 930 square feet of garage additions (4- cars) to their existing 1,978 square foot residence and 630 square foot 2-car garage. The new residence will be 7,748 square feet and have 1,560 square feet of garage space. The additions will step down from the 529.57 foot elevation of the existing residence from east to west to the 527.87 foot elevation and then north to the 524.87 foot elevation, north to the 526.37 foot elevation where the one portion will step down to the north to the 524.87 foot elevation and up to the east to the 527.87 foot elevation, and finally, east to the existing 529.37 foot elevation. Some areas of the new residence will be 4.5 feet below the existing residential portion of the project. ZONING CASE NO. 542 PAGE 1 n t� Printed on Recycled Paper. • • There is also a new driveway access that is proposed from Portuguese Bend Road that will be relocated from the existing driveway that is within the southwest easement and will be 80 feet from the southern property line. The new driveway will have a slope of 6.2% off Portuguese Bend Road. The existing driveway will be vacated. The new driveway access was reviewed by the Traffic Commission and recommended the following: • That the driveway apron be 24 feet in width; • That the driveway apron be scored for equestrian purposes; and • That the southerly most portion of the driveway apron shall be located 80 feet north of the property line as marked in the field. 4. Staff prepared a table showing the sizes of a total of 29 residences along Portuguese Bend Road south to Poppy Trail that also includes 4 residences both east and west on Crest Road as requested by the Commission. To be consistent, we used the Assessor maps and information. The entire residential structure will be 40 feet from the side property line and encroach into the 50 foot side yard setback required by the Zoning Code. This requires a Variance. But, to preclude the need for a Variance, the applicants applied to the Community Association to reduce the southern 25 foot easement to 10 feet and the Association agreed. The applicant is currently preparing the required documentation. Thus, once the agreement is recorded, the side yard setback would then be reduced to 35 feet. [See Section 17.16.120(B) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code]. The recordation has not yet taken place and is a required condition of the Resolution. The plans show drainage that will flow to the canyon at the northeast instead of the current drainage that flows to the north towards Mrs. Ridder's property (38 Portuguese Bend Road). Staff had noted that Ms. Janice Coale, 5772 Capeswood Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, and caregiver for Mrs. Ridder at 38 Portuguese Bend Road, who came to City Hall on September 23, 1996, to voice her concern about drainage onto Mrs. Ridder's property that has been a problem in the past. 5. There is an existing 667 square foot stable with a corral that is more than 550 square feet. Access to the stable will be from the proposed driveway access at Portuguese Bend Road (6.2% slope) and then from the circular driveway along a path to the north at a 6.7% slope. 6. The structural lot coverage proposed is 10,953 square feet or 5.9% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 29,825 square feet or 15.9% (35% permitted). ZONING CASE NO. 542 PAGE 2 • 7. The 35,895 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of 10,286 square feet or 28.6%. The existing 12,050 square foot stable pad coverage is 667 square feet or 5.5%. Total building pad coverage will be 22.8%. 8. Grading for the project site will require 3,190 cubic yards of cut soil and 3,190 cubic yards of fill soil. 9. The disturbed area of the lot will be 56,681 square feet or 30.3% (40% permitted). 10. Building permits show that the existing house was built in 1951 along with a 630 square foot garage and apartment. A stable was built at the northeast portion of the lot at the same time. In 1977, a swimming pool was constructed. 11. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council open the public hearing and take public testimony.

UNGAR, PRINCIPAL PLANNER RESOLUTION NO. 97-1: A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE 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. Dr. and Mrs. Richard Oas, 40 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 119-RH) BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission approved the attached resolution on January 21, 1997 at their regular meeting (3-2). Commissioners Margeta and Sommer opposed the project. During the hearing process, the Planning Commission discussed, among other issues, the size of the residence, the size of the residence relative to adjacent residences, and landscape screening of the residence from the road. 2. The applicants are requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of 5,770 square feet of residential additions and 930 square feet of garage additions (4- cars) to their existing 1,978 square foot residence and 630 square foot 2-car garage. The new residence will be 7,748 square feet and have 1,560 square feet of garage space. The additions will step down from the 529.57 foot elevation of the existing residence from east to west to the 527.87 foot elevation and then north to the 524.87 foot elevation, north to the 526.37 foot elevation where the one portion will step down to the north to the 524.87 foot elevation and up to the east to the 527.87 foot elevation, and finally, east to the existing 529.37 foot elevation. Some areas of the new residence will be 4.5 feet below the existing residential portion of the project. RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE1 i= Printed on Recycled Paper. There is also a new driveway access that is proposed from Portuguese Bend Road that will be relocated from the existing driveway that is within the southwest easement and will be 80 feet from the southern property line. The new driveway will have a slope of 6.2% off Portuguese Bend Road. The existing driveway will be vacated. The new driveway access was reviewed by the Traffic Commission and recommended the following: • That the driveway apron be 24 feet in width; • That the driveway apron be scored for equestrian purposes; and • That the southerly most portion of the driveway apron shall be located 80 feet north of the property line as marked in the field. 3. Staff prepared a table showing the sizes of a total of 29 residences along Portuguese Bend Road south to Poppy Trail that also includes 4 residences both east and west on Crest Road as requested by the Commission. To be consistent, we used the Assessor maps and information. The entire residential structure will be 40 feet from the side property line and encroach into the 50 foot side yard setback required by the Zoning Code. This requires a Variance. But, to preclude the need for a Variance, the applicants applied to the Community Association to reduce the southern 25 foot easement to 10 feet and the Association agreed. The applicant is currently preparing the required documentation. Thus, once the agreement is recorded, the side yard setback would then be reduced to 35 feet. [See Section 17.16.120(B) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code]. The recordation has not yet taken place and is a required condition of the Resolution. The plans show drainage that will flow to the canyon at the northeast instead of the current drainage that flows to the north towards Mrs. Ridder's property (38 Portuguese Bend Road). Staff had noted that Ms. Janice Coale, 5772 Capeswood Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, and caregiver for Mrs. Ridder at 38 Portuguese Bend Road, who came to City Hall on September 23, 1996, to voice her concern about drainage onto Mrs. Ridder's property that has been a problem in the past. 4. There is an existing 667 square foot stable with a corral that is more than 550 square feet. Access to the stable will be from the proposed driveway access at Portuguese Bend Road (6.2% slope) and then from the circular driveway along a path to the north at a 6.7% slope. 5. The structural lot coverage proposed is 10,953 square feet or 5.9% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 29,825 square feet or 15:9% (35% permitted). RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 2 • I 6. The 35,895 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of 10,286 square feet or 28.6%. The existing 12,050 square foot stable pad coverage is 667 square feet or 5.5%. Total building pad coverage will be 22.8%. 7. Grading for the project site will require 3,190 cubic yards of cut soil and 3,190 cubic yards of fill soil. 8. The disturbed area of the lot will be 56,681 square feet or 30.3% (40% permitted). 9. Building permits show that the existing house was built in 1951 along with a 630 square foot garage and apartment. A stable was built at the northeast portion of the lot at the same time. In 1977, a swimming pool was constructed. 10. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California 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 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. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on July 16, 1996, August 20, 1996, September 17, 1996, October 15, 1996, November 19, 1996 and December 17, 1996, and at field trip visits on August 3, 1996 and December 7, 1996. 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. 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. 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 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 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.) RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 1 OF 5 • 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. C. The development plan follows natural contours 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. RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 2 OF 5 Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission 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 6. Section 6. The Site Plan Review application approved in Section 5 of this Resolution is subject to the following conditions: A.

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 marked, Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 542 dated January 15, 1997, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. Grading shall not exceed 3,190 cubic yards of cut soil and 3,190 cubic yards of fill soil. F. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. G. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 28.6%. H. Maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 30.3% of the net lot area. I. Landscaping shall incorporate and preserve, to the maximum extent feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape screening surrounding the proposed building pad. J. Landscaping shall incorporate. to the maximum extent feasible, trees and shrubs to screen the residence from the street. RESOLUTION NO. 97-1 PAGE 3 OF 5 411 K. Two copies of a landscape plan must be submitted for review by the Planning Department and include native drought -resistant vegetation that will not disrupt the impact of the views of neighboring properties prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. The landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and intent of the Site Plan Review Ordinance, shall incorporate existing mature trees and native vegetation, and shall utilize to the maximum extent feasible, plants that are native to the area and/or consistent with the rural character of the community. A bond in the amount of the cost estimate of the implementation of the landscaping plan plus 15% shall be required to be posted prior to issuance of a grading and building permit and shall be retained with the City for not less than two years after landscape installation. The retained bond will be released by the City Manager after the City Manager, determines that the landscaping was installed pursuant to the landscaping plan as approved, and that such landscaping is properly established and in good condition. L. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, an Agreement between the applicants and the Community Association to reduce the southern 25 foot easement to 10 feet to allow a 35 foot side yard setback shall be recorded, or the approval shall not be effective. M. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review.

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. O. Notwithstanding Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional development shall require the filing of a new application for Site Plan Review approval by the Planning Commission. P. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review, pursuant to Section 17.42.060, or the approval shall not be effective.

DOUGLAS MCHATTIE, SOUTH BAY ENGINEERING JULY 6,1996 Request for Site Plan Review for the construction of substantial additions to an existing single family residence. BACKGROUND 1. The sizes of the residence and garage were reduced by 742 square feet and 64 square feet, respectively, and included in the attached table. Staff has also included the size of residences along Portuguese Bend Road south to Poppy Trail and 4 residences both east and west on Crest Road as requested by the Commission. To be consistent, we used the Assessor maps and information. The entire residential structure was moved 10 feet south, will be 40 feet from the side property line and encroach into the 50 foot side yard setback required by the Zoning Code. This requires a Variance. But, to preclude the need for a Variance, the applicants applied to the Community Association to reduce the southern 25 foot easement to 10 feet and the Association agreed. The applicant is currently preparing the required documentation. Thus, once the agreement is recorded, the side yard setback would then be reduced to 35 feet.

There is also a new driveway access that is proposed from Portuguese Bend Road that will be relocated from the existing driveway that is within the southwest easement and will be 80 feet from the southern property line. The new driveway will have a slope of 6.2% off Portuguese Bend Road. The existing driveway will be vacated. The new driveway access was reviewed by the Traffic Commission and recommended the following: • That the driveway apron be 24 feet in width; • That the driveway apron be scored for equestrian purposes; and • That the southerly most portion of the driveway apron shall be located 80 feet north of the property line as marked in the field. 3. There is an existing 667 square foot stable with a corral that is more than 550 square feet. Access to the stable will be from the proposed driveway access at Portuguese Bend Road (6.2% slope) and then from the circular driveway along a path to the north at a 6.7% slope. 4.
