A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW AND VARIANCES TO
ALLOW A RESIDENTIAL ADDITION, A NEW PORTE COCHERE AND NEW
ABOVE GRADE DECK TO ENCROACH INTO SETBACKS, AND WAIVE THE
REQUIREMENT FOR STABLE AND CORRAL SET ASIDE AREA IN ZONING CASE
NO. 946 AT 2 EL CONCHO LANE, LOT 7-GF, (RICK BOOS/CLINT PArIERSON).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by the property owners Clint
Patterson and Rick Boos with respect to real property located at 2 El Concho Lane,
Rolling Hills (Lot 7-GF) requesting a Site Plan Review for construction of a raised 190
square foot deck located in the rear of the residence, which is proposed to be 24-30
inches above grade and Variances allowing construction of the following: the raised
deck to encroach 8 square feet into the side yard setback; the 685 square foot residential
addition to the existing residence to encroach 15 feet into the front yard setback; the
addition of a new porte cochere (290 s.f. roof area, 135 s.f. supporting structure area)
located at a changed entry point to the residence to encroach 12 feet into the front yard
setback; and waiver of the requirement for a stable and corral set aside area. The
applicant also applied for other miscellaneous improvements.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
on. August 21, 2018 at its regular evening meeting. On September 25, 2018, the Planning
Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing by viewing the project in the field
by opening the hearing to enable brief public testimony and continuing the meeting to
the evening meeting of the Planning. Commission on that same date. At the September
25, 2018 evening meeting, the Planning Commission provided direction to staff to
prepare a resolution of approval for the proposed project.
Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a
notice was published in the Peninsula News on August 9, 2018 and September 13, 2018.
The applicants and their agents were notified of the public hearings and the applicants
and agents were in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented from
all persons interested in affecting said proposal, and from members of the City staff. At
the field trip several neighbors were present, but there were no objections .to the
proposed project. Rather, one resident provided to City staff .a recommendation of
support for the project.
Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the gross lot area is 1.05 acres.
The net lot area is 0.83 acres or 36,153 square feet, which is considered legal

nonconforming. The existing property is currently improved with an existing 2,709
square foot house with a 629 square foot garage and a circular driveway.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA) pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301 of
the CEQA guidelines. •
Section 5. Site Plan Review. Section 17.46.020(A)(1) of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permits approval for construction of any new building or structure
such as a raised deck under Site Plan Review. The Planning Commission must consider
applications for Site Plan Review and may, with such conditions as are deemed
necessary, approve a project which complies with the required findings under RHMC
Chapter 17.46. With respect to the requests for Site Plan Review, the •Planning
Comxission finds as follows:
A. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of
the general plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance. The proposed raised
deck is consistent with the General Plan because it supports the residential use. It is a
deck attached to a residence and a typical element included in the architecture used for
residential uses in the City. The proposed raised deck is compatible with the existing
land uses as it reinforces the residential character of the neighborhood and is largely
unseen from the roadway easement as it is located primarily behind the residence.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of
the lot minimizing building coverage. The proposed raised deck substantially preserves
the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. The
raised deck is open and not an enclosed structure. The raised deck will not cause the
property to exceed the permitted lot coverages of the buildable area and does not
require any grading. Because the deck is raised it eliminates the need for additional
grading on the lot, in case the applicants would like to have a larger usable flat area in
the rear. The property is largely unimproved slope and will remain in this condition.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and i'nass with the site, the natural
terrain and surrounding residences. The raised deck is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site. The raised deck is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when
compared to other residences in the vicinity of said lot. The raised deck takes into
consideration the visibility from the roadway easement. A small portion of the new
raised deck in the side setback is visible from the roadway easement and will be located
under the existing roofline. The deck size is only 6°% of the size of the improved
residence so the scale is harmonious with the mass of the house, the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences.
D. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest
extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native
vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls).
Resolution No. 2018-14
2
There is no grading required for the new raised deck. The new raised deck is attached
to the 'residence and new landscaping will be planted to the rear of the deck. The area
under the deck will remain permeable assisting with natural drainage. Even though a
raised deck is being added to the property, drainage courses on the property will not be
affected.
E. The grading on the property has been designed to follow natural contours
of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area.
No grading is proposed for this is project.
F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage
flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course. No grading is
proposed for this project.
G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and
supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping which is compatible
with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a
buffer or transition area between private and public areas. There will be no changes to
the property as it relates to native vegetation and mature trees. Vegetation will be
planted adjacent to the building to help screen the raised deck.
H. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe
movement of pedestrians and vehicles. The raised deck will not cause any changes to
the existing driveway apron. There is ample parking in the garage and there is parking
for guests on site.
I. The project conforms to the requirements of CEQA; as previously stated,
the project is exempt from CEQA, Class 1, Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines.
Section 6. Variances. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of Variances granting relief from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property prevent the owner from making use of a parcel
of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity or
zone. Variances from the requirements of Section 17.16.120 (structures cannot be
located in the side yard setback), Section 17.16.110 (structures cannot be located in the
front setback), and Section 17.16.170 (stable and corral site required) of the Zoning
Ordinance is required.. With respect to the aforementioned request for variances, the
Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same
vicinity and zone.
Resolution No. 2018-14 3
• •
The natural slope of the subject property, the Iocation of the building pad, the
existence of a blue line stream that traverses the property in the rear, and the shape of
the lot constrain development. The building pad was created towards the front of the
lot when the original house was constructed, and any addition would require a
variance. The building pad is small and the descending slope in the rear starts within
only 10-12 feet of the residence, not allowing for a reasonably sized back yard.
As a result, the 190 square foot raised deck is on the side of the residence under
the eaves and it encroaches 8 square feet into the side yard setback. The raised deck is
hardly distinguishable from the residence when looking at the structure from the side.
At the time the residence was originally constructed the front yard setback
requirement was 30 feet to the roadway easement. In 1981 the code changed to require a
50-foot front yard setback. Therefore, any work done on. the front portion of the
residence will be located in the front setback area and requires a variance. The majority
of the existing house is already Located within the 50' required front yard setback, as it
was constructed to meet the previously required 30' front yard setback. As a result, the
685 residential addition encroaches 15 feet into the front yard setback and the new porte
cochere encroaches 12 feet into the front yard setback.
The contingency for a stable and corral set aside area was in the front yard
setback. If the applicants had built a stable and corral in that area, they would also have
required a variance. If it were constructed in the front yard setback it would have been
locatedin close proximity to the roadway easement and neighboring residence. This
option could have disturbed other residents. Neighbors who attended a field trip
hearing to the property were not in favor of locating equestrian uses in the front yard
setback.
The size, topography, the presence of a blue line stream in the rear of the
property and configuration of the lot do not support the construction of a stable and
corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not
precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if
a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely
relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and corral.
B. The variances are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone
but which is denied to the property in question.
The variance to allow the addition to the residence and new porte cochere in the
front yard setback is necessary to the preservation of the Applicant's property right
since portions 'of the house are already located in the front yard setback due to a legal
nonconforming condition. The ability to remodel and enhance the entry is an amenity
enjoyed by most property owners in the City. The residential addition is Iocated within
Resolution No, 2018-14 4
• •
the setback area because it is construction being conducted within the original home
footprint, which was built when the setback requirement was different.
The small building pad on the property prevents any additions from being
placed in the rear. Therefore the raised deck has to be located toward the side of the
property to provide the Applicant with enjoyment of the outside. The raised deck
slightly encroaches into the side yard setback to provide this amenity enjoyed by other
residences,
Other than placement of the -stable and corral set aside area being in the front
yard area, the applicants looked into possible placement toward the rear of the
property. Access, due to steep topography, would have required extensive grading and
the proximity to the blue line stream would make it impossible to access the stable from
the adjacent bridal trail. Other properties that have development constraints were
granted variance for stable and corral set aside. By granting this variance, the current or
future property owners are not precluded from applying for approval to construct a
stable and corral at a future date if a suitable location or, construction plan is later
identified. The property owner is merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set
aside an area for a stable and corral.
C. The granting of the variances would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in such vicinity.
The residential addition and new porte cochere in the front yard setback will not
be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in
the vicinity because the condition of the residence would be improved by the addition
and porte cochere. The encroachments into the front yard setback are slight and do not
make access to and from the property more difficult or dangerous. It will not negatively
affect drainage or traffic circulation to and from the property.
The 8 square foot encroachment of the raised deck into the side yard setback will
not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements
in the vicinity because the deck is very small, located in the rear of the residence and not
visible from other properties in vicinity and only minimally visible from the street.
The variance from the stable and corral set aside will not be detrimental to the
public, on the contrary, it will be beneficial to the public welfare and other properties
because by not constructing a stable and corral, there will be no grading on the lot, if the
uses were to be placed in the rear, or the other option would be to place the uses on the
comer of the property in the front setback, close 'to the road and to a neighboring
property.
D. In granting the variances, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance
will be observed.
Resolution No. 2018-14 5
• •
The residential addition and porte cochere in the front yard setback, although
require a variance are allowed structures in the Zoning Ordinance. They will make the
property more cohesive with the rural character of the neighborhood. The design of the
improvements is orderly and attractive. The addition and porte cochere enhances the
aesthetic nature of the home and are in concert with other properties in the City.
The 8 square foot raised deck encroachment in the side yard setback will be
within the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance because it will provide the
Applicant with space on the property to enjoy the outdoors despite the topography of
the lot. The encroachment is minimal and will not affect the rural character of the
community. The design of the improvement is orderly and attractive.
The waiver to the stable and corral set aside area meets the intent of the Zoning
Ordinance as it will prevent extensive grading and disturbance on the property. It will
also preserve the environmentally sensitive nature of the site by protecting the blue line
stream from any construction. The size, topography, the presence of a blue line stream
in the rear of the property and configuration of the lot does not support the construction
of a stable and corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners
are not precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future
date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is
merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and
corral.
E. The variances will not grant special privilege to the applicant.
The addition to the residence and new porte cochere is restoring the condition of
the property. Additionally, many properties in the area were constructed prior to 1981,
when the front yard setback requirements changed from 30 feet to 50 feet and, therefore
also encroach into the currently required 50-foot front yard setback. The size of the
addition is smaller than or similar to other remodeled and new residences in the area.
The raised deck in the side yard setback will allow the Applicant to enjoy the
outside of the property despite the steep topography in the rear. Due to that
topography, the raised deck must be located toward the side of the property and
encroaches into the side yard setback.
The waiver of the stable and corral set aside area in this case will not grant
special privilege to the applicant. There are several properties in the City that do not
lend themselves to construction of a stable and corral, and if they were forced to either
set aside an area or construct such equestrian facilities it would require Iarge grading
quantities and large disturbance of the lot. This would not meet the goal of the General
Plan, which is to maintain to the maximum extent feasible the natural terrain of the lots.
The size, topography, the presence of a blue line stream in the rear of the property and
configuration of the lot does not support the construction of a stable and corral. By
Resolution No. 2018-14 6
• •
granting this variance, the current or future property owners are not precluded from
applying for approval to construct a stable and corral at a future date if a suitable
location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is merely relieved
from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for astable and corral.
F. The variances are consistent with the portions of the County of Los
Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for
hazardous waste facilities. The project site is not listed on the current State of California
Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. It will not affect any existing hazardous
waste management facilities.
G. The variances are consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling
Hills.
The project is in line with the General Plan's requirement of low profile, low -
density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding
structures. The addition to the residence, the porte cochere, and the raised deck do not
raise the height of the structure and do not increase density. Even though the residence
and the porte cochere improvements encroach into the front yard setback, there is still
sufficient space in the setback to buffer the property's residential use from other
neighboring residences. Further, even though the raised deck encroaches into the side
yard setback, there is still sufficient space in the setback to buffer the property's
residential use from other neighboring residences. These improvements will also allow
the property owner to make greater use of the residence despite its topography and
construction pursuant to an older code.
Finally, even though the stable and corral set aside requirement is being waived, it is in
line with the City's General Plan's goal to maintain to maximum extend feasible the
natural terrain of the lots. The size, topography, the presence of a blue line stream in the
rear of the property and configuration of the lot does not support the construction of a
stable and corral. By granting this variance, the current or future property owners are
not precluded from applying for approval to construct a stable andcorral at a future
date if a suitable location or construction plan is later identified. The property owner is
merely relieved from the obligation to identify and set aside an area for a stable and
corral.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record,
the Planning Commission hereby approves Applicant's requests in Zoning Case No.
946 for Site Plan Review for a raised deck of 9 linear feet from the house, 190 square feet
total located in the rear of the residence, which is proposed to be 24-30 inches above

Dear Mr. Patterson:
Pursuant to state law the City's staff has completed a preliminary review of the
application noted above and finds that the information submitted is:
X Incomplete as of the date indicated above but complete enough to allow the
application to be processed even though the City is still in need of the following:
• The disturbance for the lot needs to be recalculated. The calculation sheets
list disturbance at 0. This is not accurate. For purposes of the first meeting
with the Planning Commission, staff will use the building pad area plus the
driveway coverage. But a more accurate # needs to be calculated.
• Also, please confirm that all work will be done within the building pad area
(or disturbed area you calculate). It appears to be the case but please
confirm.
• Please work with John Signo to confirm all your calculations. There appear to
be some errors.
Please note that the City may require further information beyond the items in the above
list in order to clarify, amplify, correct, or otherwise supplement the application. If the
City requires such additional information, it is strongly suggested that you supply that
information promptly to avoid any delay in the processing of the application. Also note,
you are required to provide 7 sets of folded plans no later than Wednesday, August 15,
2018 for distribution to the Planning Commissioners.
Your application for Zoning Case No. 946 has been tentatively set for public hearing
consideration by the Planning Commission at their meeting on Tuesday, August 21,

To: City of Rolling Hills Planning Commission
Regarding: Request for Exemption for Stable/Corral Set -Aside
Dear Commissioners,
We are submitting an application for plans for a basic remodel of our home at 2 El
Concho Lane. We are not changing the footprint of the home in any significant manner
and are merely hoping to modernize this original 1964 home.
As part of this application we have been asked to designate an area as a set -aside for
a future barn/corral.
There are two areas that have relatively large amounts of open space:
1) the bottom of the hill. To build an accessible barn and corral would require very
extensive grading for the pad, corral and access path. We see this as unfeasible
and do not wish to disturb the natural grade to such an extent.
2) the front and side yards. This would be both an awkward and unsightly location.
Unfortunately these areas are also in the setback. We don't believe that this option
would be acceptable to our neighbors. Moreover, it would involve requesting a
licensing agreement to place the structure at this location. We anticipate that
requesting a license agreement to place a barn in a front yard would not be
granted.
After extensive evaluation of the lot, it is apparent that there is no good option for
allocating this set -aside. We are therefore requesting an exemption for the stable/
corral set -aside.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rick Boos and Clint Patterson
