Re: Property At 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills.]
Thank you for speaking with me regarding the drainage issues affecting
my property. As you know, I am extremely concerned to make sure that the
drainage from the proposed home above me at 14 Outrider, does not flow onto
my property, since that could cause significant landslide and related problems.
In response to my concerns, you assured me that the drainpipe you currently
are installing to take water from the property at 14 Outrider, will be connected
directly to the culvert at the bottom of my property, and will not spill water
onto any portion of my property. This is the only way to effectively deal with
the drainage issue, since I simply cannot allow drainage onto my property.
If my understanding that you will take the drainpipe all the way to the
culvert is .incorrect, please let me know as soon as possible. Otherwise, I
appreciate you having discussed the issue with me and provided your
assurances.
Very truly yours,
n.Yl�•
Lyn 8a David Tabah.

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
• •
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 Z. 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
PAGE3
• •
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.
O. 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.

PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 516A.
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

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. 94-23 •
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.
