NATURE OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what aspects of the project require
a Site Plan Review:
The proposal consists of demolishing the existing residence, grading a portion
of the parcel on which the following would be constructed: a new residence, and
a new pool/spa. The existing corral and barn shall remain. 90% of the mature
trees shall remain. This includes all trees along the property lines.
REVIEW C�cITER
SITE PLAN IA,
Site plan review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding.
Describe in detail the project's conformance with the criteria below:
A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it
compares to the sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses.
As stated in the adopted Rolling Hills General Plan, this type of renovation is
consistent with the plan. The project is comparable with the area and will not
have any impact on the community and provides the use and enjoyment of the
property owner within the limitations of current conditions.
B. How does the project preserve and integrate 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)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing natural features.
The plan maintains the natural slope of the site and follows the grade. There will
be no change in the "native" vegetation, mature trees, drainage, and land forms.
C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the site to minimize grading? Extensive grading
and recontouring of existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved. Graded slopes shall be
rounded and contoured so as to blend with existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage redirect
drainage flow unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading
and proposed minimization on lots.
The natural flow of the lot remains with the grading plan, all contours are
curved and soft and are consistent with the nature of the site.
D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding native vegetation and supplement it with
landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community? Landscaping should
provide a buffer and transition zone between private and public areas. Explain how the project preserves native
vegetation, integrates landscaping and creates buffers.
The buffers of mature trees will remain intact between neighbors and the street.
E. How does the site dev opment plan preserve the natural and undeve 'istate of the lot by minimizing building
coverage? Lot coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual amount of lot coverage
permitted should depend upon the existing buildable area of the lot. Explain how the lot coverage proposed
compares with lot coverage square footage and percentages on neighboring lots.
A large portion of the existing cultivated field remains for it's original use
and cultivation. The building coverage is minimized and works naturally with the
site. Eastfield and adjacent areas are unique. This project is consistent with the
area and the trends stated in the General Plan.
F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences? Setbacks shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall be imposed where
necessary to assure proportionality and openness. Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with the
existing setbacks of neighboring properties.
Sideyard setbacks are large and are setback further from the adjacent properties
more than required. The front 50 foot setback is more than complied with, which
tends to be an exception in this area. Thus the proposed project is very much
in harmony with the area.
G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians
and vehicles? Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway location, design, trip data,
landscaping and other on -site parking or storage areas.
There is no change in access, existing driveways, or use.
H. Does the site development plan conform with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act?
Explain how the project impacts the environment, e.g. significant impact, proposed mitigation measures.
Yes, there is no impact on the environment; no significant change in use.
I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached exhibits, presents the data and
information required for the site plan review criteria evaluation to the best of my ability; and, that
the facts, statements and other information presented are true and correct to the best of my
knowledge and belief.

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of the CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS ("City") and by private deed restrictions enforced by the ROLLING
HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION ("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are completely
independent and separate. Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and
the RHCA to develop property in Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the
RHCA does not mean or imply or ensure approval by the other.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has been fully read
and its admonition is completely understood.
