THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Ms. Carol Anderson and Mr. Jan Janura with respect to real property located at 4 Buggy Whip Drive (Lot 244-MS), Rolling Hills, requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a guest house and requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of a guest house on property developed with a single family residence. Section 2. In 1992, the Planning Commission reapproved and modified an expired Variance for a retaining wall that would encroach into the front yard setback and reapproved and modified an expired Site Plan Review for the construction of a new residence by Resolution No. 92-3 in a modification of Zoning Case No. 402. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the new applications specified in Section 1 on May 20, 1997 and June 17, 1997, and at a field trip visit on June 14, 1997. The applicants were notified of the hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. The applicants were represented by Mr. Roger North, Architect, at the hearings. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303(e) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(5) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a guest house with a Conditional Use Permit under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting to construct a 706 square foot guest house. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for a guest house would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and would be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the guest house is located where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house . would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed structure is above the level of the residential building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the guest house would not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the guest house will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 3.49 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 706 square foot size of the guest house is less than the 800 square foot maximum permitted and the guest house does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because the guest house will be 196 feet from the residence and there is sufficient space on the lot for future development of a stable. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a guest house in accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 558 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9. Section 7. Section 17.46.020 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 or structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in the size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period, may be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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. RESOLUTION NO. 97-17 PAGE 2 OF 6 rl The lot has a net square foot area of 133,163 square feet. The residence (7,150 sq. ft.), garage (1,040 sq. ft.), future stable (450 sq.ft.), proposed guest house (706 sq.ft.), swimming pool (460 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 9,902 square feet which constitutes 7.4% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 14,116 square feet which equals 10.6% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. B. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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). C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading. The natural drainage courses will be preserved and continue drainage 'to the canyons at the northwest side of this lot. D. The development plan will, based upon compliance with the conditions contained in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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 will have a buildable pad coverage of 63%, a residential building pad coverage of 27.9%, and a total building pad coverage of 29.3%. F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded. The proposed project is also consistent with the scale of other residential developments in the immediate neighborhood. Grading will be minor and required only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will be 50 feet from the existing driveway off Buggy Whip Drive and there will be no vehicular access or paved parking area within 50 feet of the guest house. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. RESOLUTION NO. 97-17 PAGE3OF6 r Section 8, Based upon the foregoing findings, the. Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 558 for a proposed guest house as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this Resolution.
