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

(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.,

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

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

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. Light and Glare. Will the proposal produce new light or glare? _ _ X
47. Land Use. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of the
present or planned land use of an area? _ X
48. Natural Resources. Will the proposal result in:
a. Increase in the rate of use of any natural resources? _ X
b . Substantial depletion of any nonrenewable natural resource? _ X
49. Risk of Upset. Will the proposal involve:
a. A risk of an explosion or the release of hazardous substances
(including, but not limited to, oil, pesticides, chemical or
radiation) in the event of an accident or upset conditions? _ _ X
b. Possible interference with an emergency response plan or an
emergency evacuation plan? _ X

60. 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?

RESOLUTION NO. 97-8
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE
ENCROACHMENT OF A SPORTS COURT INTO THE REAR YARD
SETBACK AND GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SPORTS COURT AT A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 550.
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.
Section 8. The Variance to permit a sports court to encroach into the rear
yard setback approved in Section 5 and the Conditional Use Permit for the
construction of a 2,450 square foot sports court approved in Section 7 as indicated on
the Development Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A dated
January 16, 1997, is subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within one year
from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.42.070(A).
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use Permit
approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, the Permit 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 Building and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise approved by Variance.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A dated January 16, 1997, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. The property on which the project is located shall contain an area of
sufficient size to also provide an area meeting all standards for a stable and corral
with vehicular access thereto.
F. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 7,037 square feet or 8.2% and
total lot coverage of structures and paved areas shall not exceed 12,505 square feet or
14.6%.
G. A drainage system approved by the City Engineer shall be incorporated
into the overall plan of the sports court and the surrounding landscaped areas.
H. Grading for construction of the sports court shall not exceed 20 cubic
yards of cut soil and 20 cubic yards of fill soil.
RESOLUTION NO. 97-8
PAGE 3
• •
I. Any grading for the sports court shall preserve the existing topography,
flora, and natural features to the greatest extent possible.
K. Landscape screening shall be planted to obscure the sports court at the
southeast portion of the sports court.
L. The landscape screening at the southeast portion of the court shall
continue to be maintained so as not to obstruct views of neighboring properties but
to obscure the sports court.
M. Lighting for the sports court shall not be permitted.
N. All retaining walls incorporated into the sports court shall not be
greater than four feet in height at any point. Exposed exterior retaining walls shall
not be permitted.
U. Any screening fences for the sports court shall be landscaped and not
exceed 8 feet in height.
P. Noise from the hard -surfaced area use shall not create a nuisance to
owners of surrounding properties.
Q. Review and approval of a site drainage plan by the City Engineer shall
be obtained for the sports court.
R. A plan that conforms to the development plan as approved by the
Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department
staff for their review prior to the submittal of an applicable site drainage plan to the
County of Los Angeles for plan check.
S. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills
Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to approval of the
drainage plan.
T. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of
Building and Safety for site drainage plan review must conform to the development
plan described at the beginning of this section (Section 8).
U. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions
of this Variance and Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Sections 17.38.060 and
17.42.060, or the approval shall not be effective.
V. All conditions of this Conditional Use Permit approval must be
complied with prior to approval of the site drainage plan by the County of Los
Angeles.

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

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:

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission approved the attached resolution on November 5,
1994.
2. The applicants are requesting a Variance to encroach 28 feet into the 50 foot
front yard setback to replace an existing retaining wall and requesting a
Variance to encroach 20 feet into the front yard setback for a portion of a
proposed new residence that will replace an existing single family residence.
The applicants are also requesting Site Plan Review for a 2.917 square foot
residence with a 3-car 633 square foot attached garage. The existing 500 square
foot swimming pool, a 300 square foot stable, and 100 square foot pool house
will remain. The existing residence is 2,159 square feet with a 467 square foot
2-car garage. The new residence will add 924 square feet of additional

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.

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.

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.
