Date: 10/28/13 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: YOLANTA SCHWARTZ, PLANNING DIRECTOR THROUGH: STEVE BURRELL, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ATTACHED GARAGE ON A PROPERTY WITH A CONDITION THAT ANY FUTURE CONSTRUCTION ON THE LOT BE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN ZONING CASE NO. 844, AT 0 CHESTNUT LANE, (LOT 241 A-1MS), ROLLING HILLS, CA. (TAKAHASHI). THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) REQUEST AND PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 1. It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report or provide other direction to staff. 2. The applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi, request a Site Plan Review to construct a 420 square foot garage to be attached to the existing 885 square foot garage. The reason a site plan review is requested is that a condition was previously placed on this property that Planning Commission review any future construction. 3. The Planning Commission approved the project and adopted the enclosed Resolution, finding that the project is compatible with the existing house and that the project would not cause the lot to be overbuilt; the project does not require any grading and no neighbors objected to the project. The vote was 3-1, with Commissioner Gray abstaining due to proximity of his property to subject site. (Currently there are only four members on the Planning Commission). Attached is a Resolution with standard findings and facts, including: • Any future development on the property may be permitted with Planning • • Commission review and approval only. BACKGROUND 4. Originally the applicants submitteed a request for a CUP for a detached garage. At the field trip, the Planning Commission recommended that the applicants revise the project and attach the garage to the existing structure. The applicant submitted revised plans, based on the Commission's recommendation. 5. In 2007, the Planning Commission approved a 4,320 square foot new residence with 885 square foot garage with a Variance to construct a 466 square foot swimming pool/spa in the front yard area of the lot. The house was completed in 2009. The pool was not constructed at that time. In February 2012, the Planning Commission approved a larger pool and an addition to the residence, which was recently completed. Earlier this year the Commission approved a 900 sq.ft. stable with corral on the upper pad, which has not yet been constructed. 6 The property is zoned RAS-2 and consists of 2.35 acres gross (102,366 sq. ft.) and 2.05 acres net (89,440 sq.ft.) The net lot area for construction purposes is 89,440 square feet. There is a condition on the property that any development must be reviewed by the Planning Commission. MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE 7. The net lot area of the lot is 89,440 square feet. The structural lot coverage proposed is 9,187 square feet, which includes all of the structures. With the allowances for the outdoor kitchen and detached trellis the net lot coverage would be 8,827 square feet or 9.9% - 20% permitted. The total lot coverage proposed, including structures and flatwork is proposed to be 21,399 square feet or 23.9% of the net lot area, (35% permitted). 8. The residential building pad is 19,440 square feet. Coverage on this pad will be 39.8%, currently the building pad coverage is at 37.6%. The stable pad will have coverage of 44.5% with a 900 sq.ft. stable and porch. 9. No grading is required for the proposed garage and there be no changes to the drainge. 10. Fifty-five (55.5%) percent of the lot was previously disturbed. Therefore, the previous disturbance of 55.5% of the lot is legal, nonconforming. No additional disturbance is proposed for this development. 11. The applicants' representative states that the proposed structure is to allow for more vehicle storage and that it will match the existing structure. No changes are required to the driveway or to the access to the existing garages. ZC NO. 844 12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 13. When reviewing a development application the Planning Commission considers whether the proposed project meets the criteria for a Site Plan Review.

Planning Commission Planning Commission From driveway Existing from Chestnut Lane Planning Commission review Planning Commission review SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA 17.46.010 Purpose. The site plan review process is established to provide discretionary review of certain development projects in the City for the purposes of ensuring that the proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan; incorporates environmentally and aesthetically sensitive grading practices; preserves existing mature vegetation; is compatible and consistent with the scale, massing and development pattern in the immediate project vicinity; and otherwise preserves and protects the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Rolling Hills. 17.46.050 Required findings. A. The Commission shall be required to make findings in acting to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a site plan review application. B. No project which requires site plan review approval shall be approved by the Commission, or by the City Council on appeal, unless the following findings can be made: 1. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance; 2. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable area of the lot; 3. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences; 4. 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); 5. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area; 6. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course; 7. 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; 8. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles; and 9. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. ZC NO. 844 • • RESOLUTION NO. 2013-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ATTACHED GARAGE ON A PROPERTY WITH A CONDITION THAT ANY FUTURE CONSTRUCTION ON THE LOT BE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN ZONING CASE NO. 844, AT 0 CHESTNUT LANE, (LOT 241 A-1MS), ROLLING HILLS, CA. (TAKAHASHI). THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). 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 Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi with respect to real property located at 0 Chestnut Lane (Lot 241-A-1-MS), Rolling Hills, CA requesting to construct a 420 square foot garage, which requires a Site Plan Review due to a condition placed on the property with previous applications that any future development requires a Site Plan Review by the Planning Commission. Originally, the applicants requested a Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage. Section 2 The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application at their regularly scheduled meetings on August 20, 2013, October 15, 2013 and at a field trip on September 17, 2013. Neighbors were notified and invited to the hearings. The applicant's representative was in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. The applicants were notified of the above -referenced hearing in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff. The Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied the information found that the project is satisfactory and meets the City's Site Plan Review criteria based on the findings enumerated below. Section 4. At the field visit the Commissioners expressed concerns with the detached configuration of the garage and recommended that the applicant attach it to the existing residence. The applicant's architect submitted revised plans showing the attached garage. Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)] and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. • • Section 6. Section 17.46.040(C) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits the Planning Commission to condition projects, including requiring a site plan review regardless if the future construction requires a discretionary permit. The Planning Commission placed such condition on previous approvals on subject property; therefore, the proposed attached garage is subject to a discretionary permit. Section 7. With respect to this request for a Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed project complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The 420 square foot garage conforms to Zoning Code setbacks and lot coverage requirements. The proposed project is screened from the road by the existing topography of the lot so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. No grading is proposed on the lot. B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new garage will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The project will be screened. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed project will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed project will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will utilize the existing flat area for the new construction. C. The proposed project is compatible with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. An addition of 420 square feet is minimal and would be normally approved administratively, but for the condition placed on the property that any future construction requires a discretionary review. No grading or change in the topography and terrain is proposed. D. 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 set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood. E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses. The project is not located in a canyon or on existing slopes that exceed 25%. z� • • F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed development will utilize the existing driveway. G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a 420 square foot garage addition in accordance with the development plan dated September 25, 2013 in Zoning Case No. 844 subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within two years from the effective date of this approval if construction pursuant to this approval has not commenced within that time period, as required by Section 17.46.080(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. B.

SITE LOCATION: ZONING AND SIZE: APPLICANT: REPRESENTATIVE: PUBLISHED: ZONING CASE NO. 844 0 CHESTNUT LANE, (LOT 241-A-1 MS) RA-S-2, 2.35 ACRES (GROSS) MR. AND MRS. TAKAHASHI ANDRES CARDENES, A.I.A. AUGUST 8, 2013 REQUEST AND RECOMMENDATION 1. It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the amended project, take public testimony and consider adopting the enclosed Resolution of approval with conditions for the revised location of the garage. The applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi, request a Site Plan Review to construct a 420 square foot garage to be attached to the existing 885 square foot garage. The reason a site plan review is required is a condition on this property that the Planning Commission must review any future construction on this lot. BACKGROUND 2. The Planning Commission visited the site on September 17, 2013. At the field visit it was recommended that the applicants revise the project and attached the garage to the existing structure. The applicant submitted revised plans, based on the Commission's recommendation. 3. Staff prepared a Resolution of approval for Commission's consideration based on the revised plan. The Resolution is attached. U • • 4. In 2007, the Planning Commission approved a 4,320 square foot new residence with 885 square foot garage with a Variance to construct a 466 square foot swimming pool/spa in the front yard area of the lot. The house was completed in 2009. The pool was not constructed at that time. In February 2012, the Planning Commission approved a larger pool and an addition to the residence, which was recently completed. Earlier this year the Commission approved a 900 sq.ft. stable with corral on the upper pad, which has not yet been constructed. 5 The property is zoned RAS-2 and consists of 2.35 acres gross (102,366 sq. ft.) and 2.05 acres net (89,440 sq.ft.) The net lot area for construction purposes is 89,440 square feet. MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE 6. The Planning Commission placed a condition on this property that any future construction require a discretionary approval. Therefore, the proposed addition is before the Commission for approval. 7. The net lot area of the lot is 89,440 square feet. The structural lot coverage proposed is 9,187 square feet, which includes all of the structures. With the allowances for the outdoor kitchen and detached trellis the net lot coverage would be 8,827 square feet or 9.9% - 20% permitted. The total lot coverage proposed, including structures and flatwork is proposed to be 21,399 square feet or 23.9% of the net lot area, (35% permitted). 8. The residential building pad is 19,440 square feet. Coverage on this pad will be 39.8%, currently the building pad coverage is at 37.6%. The stable pad will have coverage of 44.5% with a 900 sq.ft. stable and porch. 9. No grading is required for the proposed garage and there be no changes to the drainge. 10. Fifty-five (55.5%) percent of the lot was previously disturbed. Therefore, the previous disturbance of 55.5% of the lot is legal, nonconforming. No additional disturbance is proposed for this development. 11. The applicants' representative states that the proposed structure is to allow for more vehicle storage and that it will match the existing structure. No changes are required to the driveway or to the access to the existing garages. 12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 13. When reviewing a development application the Planning Commission must consider whether the proposed project meets the criteria for a Site Plan Review.

The site plan review process is established to provide discretionary review of certain development projects in the City for the purposes of ensuring that the proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan; incorporates environmentally and aesthetically sensitive grading practices; preserves existing mature vegetation; is compatible and consistent with the scale, massing and development pattern in the immediate project vicinity; and otherwise preserves and protects the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Rolling Hills. 17.46.050 Required findings. A. The Commission shall be required to make findings in acting to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a site plan review application. B. No project which requires site plan review approval shall be approved by the Commission, or by the City Council on appeal, unless the following findings can be made: 1. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance; 2. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable area of the lot; 3. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences; 4. 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); 5. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area; 6. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course; 7. 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; 8. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles; and 9. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. ZC NO. 844 RESOLUTION NO. 2013-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ATTACHED GARAGE ON A PROPERTY WITH A CONDITION THAT ANY FUTURE CONSTRUCTION ON THE LOT BE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN ZONING CASE NO. 844, AT 0 CHESTNUT LANE, (LOT 241 A-1MS), ROLLING HILLS, CA. (TAKAHASHI). THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). 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 Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi with respect to real property located at 0 Chestnut Lane (Lot 241-A-1-MS), Rolling Hills, CA requesting to construct a 420 square foot garage, which requires a Site Plan Review due to a condition placed on the property with previous applications that any future development requires a Site Plan Review by the Planning Commission. Originally, the applicants requested a Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage. Section 2 The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application at their regularly scheduled meetings on August 20, 2013, October 15, 2013 and at a field trip on September 17, 2013. Neighbors were notified and invited to the hearings. The applicant's representative was in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. The applicants were notified of the above -referenced hearing in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff. The Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied the information found that the project is satisfactory and meets the City's Site Plan Review criteria based on the findings enumerated below. Section 4. At the field visit the Commissioners expressed concerns with the detached configuration of the garage and recommended that the applicant attach it to the existing residence. The applicant's architect submitted revised plans showing the attached garage. Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)] and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. 1® • • Section 6. Section 17.46.040(C) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits the Planning Commission to condition projects, including requiring a site plan review regardless if the future construction requires a discretionary permit. The Planning Commission placed such condition on previous approvals on subject property; therefore, the proposed attached garage is subject to a discretionary permit. Section 7. With respect to this request for a Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed project complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The 420 square foot garage conforms to Zoning Code setbacks and lot coverage requirements. The proposed project is screened from the road by the existing topography of the lot so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. No grading is proposed on the lot. B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new garage will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The project will be screened. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed project will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed project will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will utilize the existing flat area for the new construction. C. The proposed project is compatible with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. An addition of 420 square feet is minimal and would be normally approved administratively, but for the condition placed on the property that any future construction requires a discretionary review. No grading or change in the topography and terrain is proposed. D. 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 set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood. E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses. The project is not located in a canyon or on existing slopes that exceed 25%. 2� • • F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed development will utilize the existing driveway. G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a 420 square foot garage addition in accordance with the development plan dated September 25, 2013 in Zoning Case No. 844 subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within two years from the effective date of this approval if construction pursuant to this approval has not commenced within that time period, as required by Section 17.46.080(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
