ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW
FOR OUTDOOR AMENITIES AND REGRADING OF THE POOL AREA
AND REMOVE A 5-FOOT HIGH AND A 2-FOOT HIGH RETAINING
WALLS AND REPLACE WITH TERRACED STAIRS ON A PROPERTY
WHICH CONTAINS A CONDITION THAT ANY FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT BE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IN
ZONING CASE NO. 814, AT 6 MEADOWLARK LANE, (LOT 2-RH),
ROLLING HILLS, (DUNLAP). THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO
BE EXEMPT FROM 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. Application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dunlap with
respect to real property located at 6 Meadowlark Lane requesting a Site Plan Review to
renovate an existing 530 square foot swimming pool and add a 38 square foot spa,
construct a 68 square foot outdoor kitchen and fire pit, reconstruct pool decking and
front walkways, remove a 5' high wall and a 2-foot wall and construct terraced stairs to
the pool level from the house level on a property with a condition, that any additional
development on the property be approved by the Planning Commission.
The removal of the 5' foot high wall and re -grading this area to construct stairs requires
a Site Plan Review.
Section 2. The property is developed with a 3,653 square foot residence, 589
square foot garage, 530 square foot swimming pool, 800 square foot guesthouse, pond,
pool equipment area and service yard.
In 1995 a substantial addition, guest house, stable and terraced areas with walls
were approved on this property. The addition, grading for stable and guest house were
completed and the guest house and the additions were constructed. Access to the stable
was also graded and constructed. Records indicate that all permits were obtained,
including building permits for the stable, but the stable was not constructed.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application at a field trip visit on April 17, 2012 and at their regular
meeting on April 17, 2012. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons
interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the
Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The
applicant was in attendance at the hearings. The field trip public hearing and the
regular meeting of the Planning Commission were properly noticed.
1
Section 4. The Planning Commission 'finds that the project qualifies as a Class
1 Exemption, Existing Facilities, and is therefore categorically exempt from
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for
Site Plan Review for grading. In addition, pursuant to Section 17.46.040 the Planning
Commission may condition an approval to require Site Plan Review for any future
construction or grading on a property, regardless of whether site plan review would
ordinarily be applicable to such construction. With respect to the Site Plan Review
application, due to the restriction placed on this property in 1995 by the Planning
Commission on any future development, the Planning Commission must review the
proposed project. With respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting removal
of the 5-foot high retaining wall and regrading the slope to construct terraced steps, the
Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the
Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structures comply 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 lot coverage requirements. The area of re -grading to construct the steps consists
of approximately 550 square feet and will require grading of 26.3 cubic yards of dirt.
The net lot of the lot is 63,163 square feet. The structural coverage of the net lot is
proposed to be 5,730 square feet or 9.1 %, not including the bbq, shed and water feature
and the total coverage (structures and flatwork) is proposed at 11,553 square feet or
18.3%. The disturbed area of the lot is nonconforming at 45%. No additional
disturbance is proposed, as the project will be located on previously disturbed area.
Grading for the removal of the wall and construction of the steps will require 26.3
cubic yards of dirt, which will be balanced on site. The proposed project is screened
from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structure 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 existing
shrubs and trees on the northern and western portion on the parcel will remain and
will screen the project. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses,
buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the
construction of the proposed structures will not adversely affect or be materially
detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed
structures 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 a
sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structures will not
impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will utilize the existing
previously graded area of the lot.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
2
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in
Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximums set forth in the Zoning Code will not be
exceeded. The proposed construction is compatible in scale and mass with adjacent
properties. The removal of the walls and regarding would soften the look of the area.
D. The development plan incorporates existing landscaping and is screened
from other properties and the road by existing mature vegetation, which will be
preserved.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this project will involve
26.3 cubic yards of cut and fill total and will be balanced on site. The grading will be
generated from the regarding of the slope for terraced steps. The disturbance or
grading will take place within the existing building pad area, which was previously
disturbed and in previously disturbed area.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
applicants will utilize an existing driveway and access.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No. 814 to renovate an existing
530 square foot swimming pool and add a 38 square foot spa, construct a 68 square foot
outdoor kitchen and fire pit, reconstruct and raise the pool decking and front walkways,
remove a 5' high wall and a 2-foot high wall and construct terraced stairs to the pool
level from the house level, subject to the following conditions:
A. The conditions of approval specified herein shall be printed on all
construction plans and shall be at all times available at the construction site.
B. The Site approval shall expire within two years from the effective date of
approval as defined in Sections 17.46.070(A) unless otherwise extended pursuant to the

has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails to correct the violation within a period
of thirty (30) days from the date of the City's determination.

9.1%, not including the bbq, shed and water feature, and future stable and the total
coverage (structures and flatwork) shall not exceed 11,553 square feet or 18.3%
H. There shall be no increase in the building pad coverage. The structural

towards pad coverage, The swimming pool/guest house pad is 9,288 square feet and
has coverage of 14.7% and the stable building pad is 1,395 square feet and has zero
coverage.
I. The graded area shall be landscaped and the spa screened from adjacent
properties. Two sets of landscaping plan for the area under consideration shall be
submitted to staff prior to obtaining building permits. All landscaped areas shall utilize
to the greatest extent feasible mature native and drought resistant plants. Plants shall

the fire department requirements for fire resistant plants. Any trees and shrubs used in
the landscaping scheme for this project shall be planted in a way that will not result in
a hedge like screening and as not to impair views of neighboring properties but to
screen the project site.
