RESOLUTION NO. 98-19
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL
TO CONVERT AN EXISTING GARAGE TO RESIDENTIAL USES,
TO CONSTRUCT ADDITIONS AND TO CONSTRUCT A N E W
ATTACHED GARAGE THAT REQUIRES GRADING FOR A N
EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO.
583.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Banker
with respect to real property located at 5 Eastfield Drive, Rolling Hills (Lot 57-EF)
requesting Site Plan Review to convert an existing garage to residential uses,
construct additions and a new attached garage that requires grading for an existing
single family residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the new application on July 21, 1998, August 18, 1998, and
September 15,1998, and at a field trip visit on August 10, 1998. The applicants were
notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's
newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in the
project, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff
and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied the project.
Concerns expressed by Commissioners, concerned residents and the applicants
focused on preservation of the uphill neighbors' view corridor, the surveyed
easements, structural coverage on the building pad, and relocation of a future stable
and corral. During the hearing process, the new garage was reduced from a 3-car
garage to a 2-car garage.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 Exemption (State CA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.46.030 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
may be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36)
month ,period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application to convert an
existing garage to residential uses, to construct additions and to construct a new
attached garage that requires grading for an existing single family residence, .the
Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
RESOLUTION NO. 98-19
PAGE 1 OF 5
98 070810
• •
IF
A. The proposed development 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. The lot has
a net square foot area of 35,777 square feet. The proposed residence (3,094 sq.ft.),
garage (550 sq.ft.), swimming pool/spa (805 sq.ft.), shed (48 sq.ft.), and future stable
(450 sq.ft.) will have 4,947 square feet which constitutes 13.83% of the lot which is
within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage . requirement. The total lot
coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 11,939 square feet which equals
33.40% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage
requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the
proposed additions located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of
the development.
B. The proposed development 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). The lot has a relatively gentle slope and most
of the mature trees will not be removed. Grading will only be done to provide
approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing
neighboring residences.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the north
rear side of this lot.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves several mature trees and shrubs and supplements them with landscaping
that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan 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.
Although the project will have a residential pad coverage of 52.16%, the total pad
coverage will be 57.38% and the project will be located on a relatively gently sloped
lot where significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The development
plans will minimize impact on Eastfield Drive as the garage will be located further
away from the road and grading is proposed to improve drainage for the property.
Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped.
F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious yin scale
and mass with'the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. Ns indicated
in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed
project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this
RESOLUTION NO.98-19
PAG�OF

irregular -shaped lot. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to
the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed project will use existing driveways and replace and relocate a garage
entrance for vehicular access that will have less of an impact on Eastfield Drive.
`H. Thee project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental
review.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 583 to
convert an existing garage to residential uses, to construct additions and to construct
a new attached garage that requires grading for an existing single family residence as
indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to
the following conditions:

effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080(A), unless construction on

B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review approval
that if any conditions thereof are violated, the approval shall be suspended and the
privileges granted thereunder shall be subject to revocation; provided that the
applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do
so for a period of thirty (30) days and has been provided additional notice and a
hearing prior to the revocation of the Permit.
C. All requirements of the Buildings Code of the City of Rolling Hills and
the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance must be complied with unless otherwise set
forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file dated August 25, 1998, and marked Exhibit A, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of
Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan
approved with this application.
F. The residential building pad coverage shall not exceed'•52:16%.
G. Maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 12,264 squ4re feet or 34.2$%

of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related
geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as
approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills

City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio.

shall be reviewed and acted upon by the City Manager or designee, and any
modifications to the project which would constitute major modifications shall be
reviewed and acted upon by the Planning Commission.
R. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional
development shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the
Planning Commission.
