RESOLUTION NO. 97-17
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR A GUEST HOUSE AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SAME GUEST HOUSE
AT AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN ZONING CASE
NO. 558.
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
• •
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.

Dear Ms. Anderson and Mr. Janura:
This letter shall serve to notify you that the Planning Commission voted at their regular meeting
on June 17, 1997 to direct staff to prepare a resolution to approve your request for a
Conditional Use Permit to permit a guest house and a request for Site Plan Review for the
construction of a guest house at your property in Zoning Case No, 558 and shall be confirmed in
the draft resolution that is being prepared. The Planning Commission will review and consider
the draft resolution, together with conditions of approval, at an upcoming meeting and make its
final decision on your application at that subsequent meeting.
The findings and conditions of approval of the draft resolution will be forwarded to you before
being signed by the Planning Commission Chairman and City Clerk.
The decision shall become effective thirty days after the adoption of the Planning Commission's
resolution unless an appeal has been filed or the City Council takes jurisdiction of the case
within that thirty (30) day appeal period. (Section 17.54.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code). Should there be an appeal, the Commission's decision will be stayed until the Council
completes its proceedings in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code.
The Planning Commission's action taken by resolution approving the development application
is tentatively scheduled for July 15, 1997. That action, accompanied by the record of the
proceedings before the Commission, is tentatively scheduled to be placed as a report item on
the City Council's agenda at the Council's regular meeting on July 28, 1997.
Feel free to call me at (310) 377-1521 if you have any questions regarding, this matter.
Sincerely,
LOLA M. UNGAR
PRINCIPAL PLANNER
