ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 38. Describe the project site as it exists before the project, including information on topography, soil stability, plants and animals, and any cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Describe any existing structures on the site, and the use of the structures. Attach photographs of the site. Snapshots or Polaroid photos will be accepted. The project site is a large 1.96 acre parcel consisting of an undulating hillside covered by mature shrubs and trees. with some areas being heavily wooded. Currently, a one-story single family residence with an attached garage is being constructed to replace an existing single family residence. The new residence encroaches into the front yard setback. There is an existing stable at the site. At a second level, down from the residence there is an existing pool and pool house. The applicants propose to construct a sports court at a third level beneath the pool and pool house. Landscaped lawns, shrubs and trees surround the existing residence. with native plants. grasses. shrubs. and trees beyond the residential area. Native birds and animals frequent the area such as sparrows, crows. raccoons, possum. skunks., gophers and an occasional fox. 39. Describe the surrounding properties, including information on plants and animals and any cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Indicate the type of land use (residential, commercial, etc.), intensity of land use (one -family, guest house, office use, etc.) and scale of development INITIAL REVIEW ZONING CASE NO. 550 PAGE 3 • • (height, frontage, set -back, rear yard, etc.). Attach photographs of the vicinity. Snapshots or Polaroid photos will be accepted. The site is located within a one unit per 1-acre zone designation and is surrounded by similar development of the one-story ranch style residences with agricultural outbuildings. As described in Paragraph 38. native birds and animals frequent the area. A detailed discussion of all potential environmental impacts checked "Yes" . or "Maybe" is provided, along with appropriate mitigation measures. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS (Please explain all "yes" and "maybe" answers on separate sheets) YES MAYBE NO 40. Earth. Will the proposal result in: a. Unstable earth conditions or in changes in geologic substructures? _ X a-d. b. Disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? X c. Change in topography or ground surface relief features? _ _ X d. The destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features? _ X Although approval of the sports court will not result in unstable earth conditions or in changes in, geologic substructures. it should be noted that portions of the City exhibit unstable earth conditions, including active landslides and soil creep. The Land Use Element of the General, Plan establishes a Landslide Hazard Overlay to carefully regulate development in unstable areas. This property is not within a mapped active landslide area. Grading. excessive irrigation, and/or increased septic tank discharge in unstable areas may trigger additional slope failure. Because the City is located in seismically active Southern California, additional development will be exposed to potential groundshaking in the event of an earthquake. The Palos Verdes fault,, considered potentially active. is located approximately one mile northeast of the City. Approval of the sports court will result in disruptions, displacement, compaction. or overcrowding of the soil at the eastern portion of the lot. During construction these will occur in , order to prepare a 3,357 square foot pad site for the 2,450 square foot snorts court. Two building pads currently exist. The displacement and recompaction of the soil will be required to conform with local ordinances and engineering practices requiring balanced cut and fill on each, individual lot and should not cause a significant environmental impact., INITIAL REVIEW ZONING CASE NO. 550 PAGE 4 e-g. YES MAYBE NO e. Any increase in wind or water erosion of soils, either on or off the site? _ _ X f. Changes in deposition or erosion of beach sands, or changes in siltation, deposition or erosion which may modify the channel of a river or stream or the bed of the ocean or any bay, inlet or lake? g. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, mud slides, ground failure, or similar hazards? X X During future construction, there will be removal of some natural vegetative cover to create a building pad, potentially causing an increase in soil erosion by wind action or storm runoff.. This reduction of vegetative cover and the increased runoff associated with development may cause a slight increase in the soil deposition, siltation, or erosion in or near the ocean. As additional development is limited to a 2,450 square foot sports court, related erosion impacts will be less than significant. Mitigation Measures A. The applicant shall prepare and submit to the City 15 copies of a preliminary grading plan showing proposed drainage direction and facilities, driveways, easements. setbacks. existing structures. building pad(s), the sports court, stable, corral, and blue line streams for the lot at, least 30 days prior to the Planning Commission hearing on the Variance and Conditional Use Permit applications. 41. Air. Will the proposal result in: YES MAYBE NO a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality? — X b. The creation of objectionable odors? _ X c. Alteration of air movement, moisture or temperature, or any change in climate, either locally or regionally? _ _ X a-c. The proposed proiect provides for a total net increase in development of a sports court., Although this development will generate slight increases in vehicle trips during and after INITIAL REVIEW ZONING CASE NO. 550 PAGE 5 • • construction and obiectionable odors during construction, the resultant impact on air quality will be less than significant. YES MAYBE NO 42. Water. Will the proposal result in: a. Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements, in either marine or fresh waters? _ _ X The development of a snorts court will not alter fresh or marine water currents. b. Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface water runoff? _ _ X The proposed sports court may alter drainage patterns, increase surface runoff and reduce water absorption by the placement of a concrete snorts court and the introduction of impervious surface materials and irrigation systems. The impacts are not expected to be substantial. c. Alterations to the course or flow of flood waters? X No maior floodnlains exist in the City. Flood waters generally flow through the canyon areas. The proposed sports court is proposed for a flat area above the bottom of the canyon that exists on this hillside lot. Changes in the course or flow of floodwaters is not anticipated., d. Change in theamount of surface water in any water body? _ _ X No water bodies are located in the project area. Future development of a snorts court is not expected to result in change in the amount of surface water of any water bodies located in the vicinity., e. Discharge into surface waters, or in any alteration of surface water quality, including but not limited to temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity? X f. Alteration of the direction or rate of flow of ground waters? _ _ X g• Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? X h. Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies? X i. Exposure of people or property to water -related hazards such as flooding or tidal waves? _ _ X INITIAL REVIEW ZONING CASE NO. 550 PAGE 6 • • No maior floodplains exist in the City and development is not permitted in the canyon areas most likely to be affected by flooding. No open bodies of water occur within the City, thus no such hazard exists. The sports court is located high enough and far enough away from the ocean that tsunami hazards do not exist. Significant changes in the temperature, flow, or chemical content of surface thermal springs? 43. Plant Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species, or number of any species of plants (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops, microflora and aquatic plants)? b . Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of plants? c. Introduction of new species of plants into an area, or in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species? d . Reduction in acreage of any agricultural crop? YES MAYBE NO X X X X a-d. Any additional development within the City will reduce the amount of native vegetation which will be replaced in some instances by non-native species. But, due to the limited growth proposed. the development of a sports court, this impact will be less than significant. In addition. the General Plan and Zoning Code set forth policies which encourage the retention and use of native drought tolerant vegetation in landscaping. No known rare and endangered species of plants exist in the City. 44. Animal Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species or numbers of any species of animals (birds, land animals including reptiles, fish and shellfish, benthic organisms, insects or microfauna)? X As further development occurs in Rolling Hills, the natural habitat of the area will be slightly reduced. But. the impact of the current proposal is expected to be less than significant. b . Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of animals? _ _ X The development of a snorts court for this project provides the opportunity to retain substantial amounts of existing habitat. In 1994, the Palos Verdes Blue butterfly, formerly listed as endangered, was seen at the nearby San Pedro Fuel Depot Station where its habitat is being restored. Several other animals do INITIAL REVIEW ZONING CASE NO. 550 PAGE7 • • occur. however, that are considered as candidates for protection by either the Federal Government or, the State Government. Recently, the California gnatcatcher was removed from the list of endangered species and. in a recent census. Pairs were located in the adiacent City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Other target species for the Rancho Palos Verdes Peninsula Area that are being studied by the State of California Department of Fish and Game are the Cactus Wren and the Coast Homed Lizard. The impact of the proposed future development of a sports court will be less than significant. YES MAYBE NO c . Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or result in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals? _ X d. Deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat? _ X 45. Noise. Will the proposal result in: a. Increases in existing noise levels? X _ Noise levels from the use of the proposed sports court may increase. These noise levels are expected to be intermittent in nature. A full size tennis court currently exists at the residence at the north side of this, nronerty at the same elevation. Development of the sports court is consistent with similar recreational, uses in the community and the court will be located in an area of the property where such use will not be intrusive to surrounding properties. Therefore, the impacts of the noise levels from the use of a sports court at the subiect site is not expected to be substantial. b . Exposure of people to severe noise levels? _ X 46.

Mandatory Findings of Significance. a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short- term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively. considerable? (A project may affect two or more separate resources where the impact is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effect on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

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. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74-EF) requesting a Variance to permit an encroachment into the rear yard setback to construct a sports court and requesting a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of the same sports court at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on March 18, 1997 and April 15, 1997, and at a field trip visit on April 5, 1997. Section 3. On February 24, 1997, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration was prepared and was circulated to the applicant and other interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was published on February 27, 1997. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and adopted a Negative Declaration in accordance with 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 17.16.130 requires a rear yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S zone to be fifty (50) feet. The applicant is requesting to construct a 2,450 square foot sports court which will encroach a maximum of eighteen (18) feet into the fifty (50) foot rear yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 97-8 PAGE 1 C�' • 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 lot is irregular in shape and the proposed sports court pad is located on a hillside slope within the rear yard and away from the street. 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, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because there is a nearby tennis court, there will be minimum grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot, and there will not be any greater incursion into the rear yard than what already exists on other properties in the same vicinity. 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. 550 to permit the construction of a 2,450 square foot sports court that will encroach a maximum of eighteen (18) feet into the rear 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 8 of this Resolution. Section 6. Section 17.16.210(A)(7) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code allows for the construction of a sports court provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Rolling Hills Planning Commission. With respect to the request for a Conditional Use Permit for a 2,450 square foot sports court, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for a sports court would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar recreational uses in the community and the court will be located in an area of the property where such use will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties. B. The granting of the Conditional Use Permit would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the sports court will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 2.1 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. C. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the RESOLUTION NO. 97-8 PAGE 2 • • sports court will not impact the view or the privacy of neighbors. The hard -surfaced area will require a minimum amount of grading and will be screened by landscaping. Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the request for a Conditional Use Permit in Zoning Case No. 550 for a proposed 2,450 square foot sports court, as shown on the Development Plan dated January 16, 1997 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 8.

Mr. and Mrs. David Tabah, 12 Outrider Road (Lot 74-EF) BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission approved the attached resolution on May 16, 1995. 2. The applicants are requesting a modification to their Site Plan Review approval for the construction of a new single family residence. A letter from the applicants regarding the need to modify their request for Site Plan Review to add a fourth garage (117 square feet) and a small addition (10 square feet) to the master bathroom to simplify the roof line in compliance with the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee is attached. 3. On November 5, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 94-23 in Zoning Case No. 516 (attached) for a Variance to encroach up to a maximum of 20 feet into the front yard setback and Site Plan Review that included the requirement that any modifications to the development of a 2,917 square foot residence and 633 square foot garage would constitute new development and require the filing of a new application. RESOLUTION NO. 95-7 PAGE 1 ® PnnieJ on R•�ryr,in.t P,q,• r I 4. Plans show the addition of 127 square feet to the previously approved project. The revisions include adding 117 square feet to the garage at the northeast, narrowing its depth by 1.5 feet and adding 6 feet to its width; and adding 10 square feet at the southwest portion of the residence to align the side and simplify the roof line. The existing 500 square foot swimming pool, a 300 square foot stable, and 100 square foot pool house will remain. (The existing residence is 2157 square feet and the garage is 467 square feet). 5. The previous building pad coverage proposed had been 44.4% on this 8,000 square foot residential building pad. The existing residential building pad coverage is 32.8%. Proposed building pad coverage is 46.09%. 6. We cannot compare garage sizes in the area because the County Assessor records only the size of residential living areas. The size of residences along the east side of Outrider Road are shown in the following table: ADDRESS 2 OUTRIDER ROAD 4 " 6 " 8 " 10 " 12 14 16 OWNER HART MALMUTH WACHS STIBLEY MULLENAUX TABAH (Existing) MICKELSON HALE AVERAGE PROPOSED RESIDENCE (SO.FT.I 5,560 (largest) 3,008 2,844 2,244 2,268 2,159 1,758 (smallest) 3,121 2,862 2,927 7. The existing residence was constructed in 1947 and encroaches 7 feet into the front yard setback. In 1948, a 400 sq.ft. carport was converted to a rumpus room and a fireplace was added. In 1960, a 648 sq.ft. swimming pool was constructed. An existing carport was enclosed in 1988 and in 1989, foundation repair was done. 8. Grading for the project site will not be required. 9. Disturbed area of the lot will be 5.3% (40% maximum). 10. The structural lot coverage proposed is 4,587 square feet or 5.3% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 10,243 square feet or 11.99% (35% permitted). 11. Access to the proposed residence will remain the same at the west off Outrider Road. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file Resolution No. 95-7.

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 Mr. and Mrs. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74- EF), Rolling Hills, requesting a modification to a previously approved Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence with attached garage. Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on March 21, 1995 and at a field trip visit on April 5, 1995 at which time information was presented indicating the need to add a fourth garage and a small addition to the master bathroom to simplify the roof line in compliance with the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee. Section 3. Based upon information and evidence submitted, the Planning Commission does hereby amend the following three paragraphs of Resolution No. 94-23, dated November 5, 1994: Paragraph A, Section 8 to read as follows: "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 with the Variances approved in Sections 5 and 7 of this Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 85,377 square feet. The proposed residence (2,927 sq.ft.), garage (760 sq.ft.), swimming pool (500 sq.ft.), existing stable (300 sq.ft.), and pool house (100 sq.ft.) will have 4,587 square feet which constitutes 5.3% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,243 square feet which equals 11.94% of the lot, 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 below the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development." Paragraph D, Section 10 to read as follows: "The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Revised Exhibit "A," dated March 1, 1995, except as otherwise provided in those conditions." RESOLUTION NO. 95.7 PAGE 2 OF 2 • Paragraph F, Section 10 to read as follows: "F. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 46.09%." Section 4.

DEPUTY CITY CLERK @is F 414R I i9qg —, city Of Rolling Nails 1st March 1995 12 Outrider Rd Rolling Hills Dear Planning Commisioners Due to our compliance with the Architectural Committee's requests we have had to increase the square footage of our proposed house.. The increase is a fourth garage, which gives a more symmetrical look with two double doors. The total of 117s.f. is added to the garage and 10 s.f. to the master bathroom which enables simplification of the roof line. The total of 127s.f. is an increase of 1.6% of pad coverage, calculated on 8000s.f. build able pad. However with the Planning Commisions permission, if we could calculate the pad to include the approximate 800s.f. front yard set back variance, previously granted to us, the total pad coverage, including the additional square footage would be 42%. This would he well within the 44.4% stated in the resolutions. As these changes are at the request of the Achitechtural Committee and not from us , we are seeking the guidance of the Planning Commision in this matter. one. ri ctv Lok Lynne avid Tabah. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE ENCROACHMENT OF A RETAINING WALL INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE ENCROACHMENT OF A PORTION OF A PROPOSED RESIDENCE INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 516. 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. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74-EF) requesting a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the construction of a retaining wall into the front yard setback, requesting a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the encroachment of a portion of a proposed residence into the front yard setback, and requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence to replace an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on August 16, 1994, September 20, 1994, and October 18, 1994, and at a field trip visit on September 13, 1994. Section 3., The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CA 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 setback for every residential parcel to be fifty (50) feet. The applicant is requesting to encroach up to a maximum 28 feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to replace an existing retaining wall with a new 95-foot long retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: • RESOLUTION NO. 94.23 • PAGE 2 • 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 lot is of an irregular shape and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The existing retaining wall will be reconstructed to allow open space near the front of the residence. 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, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because there will not be any grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists at other property in the same vicinity. 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. 516 to permit the construction of a 95-foot long retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height that will encroach a maximum of twenty-eight (28) feet into the 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 10 of this Resolution. Section 6. The applicant is requesting to construct a residence that will encroach a maximum of twenty (20) feet into the fifty (50) foot 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 lot is of an irregular shape and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The sloping rear portion of the lot precludes construction of the residence on the rear portion of 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, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because there will not be any grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists at other property in the same vicinity. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 • PAGE 3 . • • 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 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 516 to permit portions of the proposed residence to encroach a maximum of twenty (20) feet into the 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 10 of this Resolution. Section 8. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period. 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 with the Variances approved in Sections 5 and 7 of this Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 85,377 square feet. The proposed residence (2,917 sq.ft.), garage (633 sq.ft.), existing stable (300 sq.ft.), and pool house (100 sq.ft.) will have 4,450 square feet which constitutes 5.2% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,243 square feet which equals 11.99% of the lot, 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 below 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 east side (rear) of this lot. • RESOLUTION NO.94-20 PAGE 4 • 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. 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. 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 northeasterly 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 and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular torch -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. 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 the same driveway to Outrider Road for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 516 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 10. Section 10. The Variances to the front yard setback approved in Sections 5 and 7, and the Site Plan Review approved in Section 9 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance and Site Plan Review approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.070 and 17.48.0080. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance and 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. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 PAGE 5 • • 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, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. F. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 44.4%. F.

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. H. 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. I. 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. J. All conditions of these Variance and Site Plan Review approvals must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles. K. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of these Variance and Site Plan Review approvals, or the approvals shall not be effective.

Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CA 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 setback for every residential parcel to be fifty (50) feet. The applicant is requesting to encroach up to a maximum 28 feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to replace an existing retaining wall with a new 95-foot long retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 PAGE 2 • • 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 lot is of an irregular shape and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The existing retaining wall will be reconstructed to allow open space near the front of the residence. 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, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because there will not be any grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists at other property in the same vicinity. 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. 516 to permit the construction of a 95-foot long retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height that will encroach a maximum of twenty-eight (28) feet into the 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 10 of this Resolution. Section 6. The applicant is requesting to construct a residence that will encroach a maximum of twenty (20) feet into the fifty (50) foot 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 lot is of an irregular shape and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The sloping rear portion of the lot precludes construction of the residence on the rear portion of 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, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because there will not be any grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists at other property in the same vicinity. • RESOLUTION NO. 94-3 PAGE 3 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 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 516 to permit portions of the proposed residence to encroach a maximum of twenty (20) feet into the 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 10 of this Resolution. Section 8. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period. 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 with the Variances approved in Sections 5 and 7 of this Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 85,377 square feet. The proposed residence (2,917 sq.ft.), garage (633 sq.ft.), existing stable (300 sq.ft.), and pool house (100 sq.ft.) will have 4,450 square feet which constitutes 5.2% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,243 square feet which equals 11.99% of the lot, 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 below 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 east side (rear) of this lot. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 PAGE 4 • • 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. 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. 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 northeasterly 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 and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular torch -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. 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 the same driveway to Outrider Road for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 516 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 10. Section 10. The Variances to the front yard setback approved in Sections 5 and 7, and the Site Plan Review approved in Section 9 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance and Site Plan Review approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.070 and 17.48.0080. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance and 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. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 • PAGE 5 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, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. F. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 44.4%. F. 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. G. 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. H. 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. I. 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. J. All conditions of these Variance and Site Plan Review approvals must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles. K. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of these Variance and Site Plan Review approvals, or the approvals shall not be effective.
