As we reported to you, we reviewed your request and determined under Sections 17.16.120 and 17.16.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (attached) the plan is similar to a garden wall or retaining wall structure and does not comply with City Zoning Code requirements. Therefore, a Variance to encroach into the side yard setback will be required. Let us know if you wish to make application for the Variance so that we can provide you with the application form and submittal requirements. On the other hand, you may consider redesigning or moving the counter, grill and sink to avoid any encroachments into required setbacks and the need for a Variance. Please call me at (310) 377-1521 if you have any questions and I will be happy to meet with you. Yours truly, LOLA M.
