ZONING CASE NO. 583.
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Banker, 5 Eastfield Drive (Lot 57-EF)
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted the attached Resolution No. 98-19 on
September 15, 1998 at their regular meeting granting Site Plan Review
approval to convert an existing garage to residential uses, to construct

Sommer was absent.
2. Mr. and Mrs. Banker are requesting Site Plan Review to permit the
conversion of the existing 461 square foot garage to residential space at the
southwest portion of the residence and to add on 555 square feet of residential
additions as well as a 550 square foot 2-car garage at the north side of the
residence. The total residence will be 3,094 square feet with a 550 square foot
garage. The existing residence is 2,078 square feet with a 461 square foot
garage. There is an existing 805 square foot pool and spa at the east side of the
residence. No basement is proposed for the additions. Site Plan Review and
Nearby Properties tables are attached.
Panted on Recycled Paper.

Concerns expressed by the Commissioners, concerned residents and the
applicants focused on preservation of Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Surprenant's view
corridor (7 Eastfield Drive), 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.
3. The proposed residential pad coverage is 52.16% (and without encroachments
41.03%).
4. Dr. and Mrs. Surprenant, 7 Eastfield Drive, at first opposed the project because
it would impair their view of city lights but after revisions to the plan
withdrew their opposition (letters attached).
5. The existing dwelling and garage were constructed in 1950 and the pool and
spa east of the residence were constructed in 1961.
6. The net lot area of this irregular -shaped lot is 35,777 square feet. Structural lot
coverage will be 4,947 square feet and 13.83% of the net lot area (20%
maximum permitted). Total lot coverage will be 11,939 square feet and
33.40% of the net lot area (35% maximum permitted).
7. The 8,172 square foot residential building pad within allowable setbacks will
have 4,497 square feet or 55.03% structural building pad coverage (Guideline
maximum of 30%). Coverage on the building pad includes the one third of
the existing residence that encroaches 41 feet into the front yard setback and a
48 square foot shed. The total building pad coverage will be 57.38%.
8. The disturbed area of the lot will be 12,264 square feet or 34.28% of the net lot
area (40% maximum).
9. The existing driveway access off Eastfield Drive will not change and the paved
driveway area will be reduced by 1,908 square feet.
10. Access to the future stable at the northeastern portion of the lot is available
with a slope of 18.3% (25% or less required) from Eastfield Drive. The
Bankers are not planning to construct a stable at this time.
11. Grading for the entire project will consist of 10 cubic yards of cut soil and 10
cubic yards of fill soil to repair the driveway drainage and the building
foundation.
12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RESOLUTION NO. 98-19
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SHE 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
• •
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 in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As 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
PAGE 2 OF 5
• •
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. The 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:
A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within one year from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080(A), unless construction on
the applicable portions of the structure have commenced within that time period.
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 square feet or 34.28%
of the net lot area.
RESOLUTION NO. 98-19
PAGE 3 OF 5
• •
H. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 13.83% and total lot coverage
shall not exceed 33.40%.
I. Grading shall not exceed 10 cubic yards of cut soil and 10 cubic yards of
fill soil and shall be balanced on site.
J. Any grading shall preserve the existing topography, flora, and natural
features to the greatest extent possible.
K. Landscaping shall incorporate and preserve, to the maximum extent
feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape screening
surrounding the proposed building pad.
L. Landscaping shall be provided and maintained to obscure the buildings
and the building pad with native drought -resistant vegetation that is compatible
with the surrounding vegetation of the community.
M. Landscaping materials shall not be planted that would obscure existing
viewscapes.
N. The Pepper trees located north of the proposed residential additions
shall be trimmed and maintained in a manner so that the views from the property
at 7 Eastfield Drive through the lower portion of those trees is preserved.
O. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County
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
Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the
City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio.
P. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills
Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of
any building or grading permit.
Q. In accordance with Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute minor modifications
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.

Dear Mr. Roberts,
September 14, 1998
As current owners and residents of 7 Eastfield Drive, we hereby withdraw any
opposition to the application of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Banker, our next door neighbors, to
construct the addition to their residence as described in the latest revised plans of their
architect.
We respectfully request that any approval be appropriately conditioned on: usual
procedures designed to avoid noise and dust, equipment be restricted to the Banker's
property and the accommodation offered by the Bankers to keep trees and bushes thinned
to maintain the remaining side lot view.
Sincerely,

Mr. Allen Roberts RV August 14, 1998
Chairman, Planning Commission
City of Rolling Hills
Dear Mr. Roberts,
We regret that we will be unable to attend the August 18, 1998 meeting of the Planning
Commissioners. Mary Ann's sister, who lives in Pennsylvania, is to have a medical
procedure on the 18th. She lives alone and is relying on us to be there on the 17th.
We appreciate the Committee considering our concern about the impact that a three car
garage in Mr. and Mrs. Banker's front yard will have on the view from our home. Views
are an important part of the enjoyment of living in Rolling Hills and, of course, also
impact our property values. Having both a pastoral view from the back of our home and a
city lights view from the front is a feature that attracted us to this property 28 years ago
and that we and our guests continue to enjoy. (The city lights view from the back corner
of the house is nice but is not the primary concern.)
After briefly looking at the basic plot plan for the addition, there definitely are viable
alternatives that would satisfy the Banker's request to increase their living area and garage
YET
space. Alternatives can be designed that would accomplish this and/knot present an
obtrusive obstruction to the radiant city view from the front of our property. We should
work together to maintain and enhance views in our beautiful city.
• •
Since we were completely unaware of the building plans until just before the July 21
Commission meeting, and as yet do not have a copy of the plans to analyze, we cannot
make specific suggestions at this time. If a copy of the plans were made available to us,
we would be most pleased to get together with our neighbors and another architect (at our
expense) and discuss possibilities that would enhance their property without a negative
impact on ours.
We hope the Commissioners will delay making a final decision on this project so that
we can explore alternatives with Mr. and Mrs. Banker after we return from Pennsylvania
at the end of this month.

BACKGROUND
construction of substantial additions to an
1. On August 18, 1998, the Planning Commission continued the case to this
evening's meeting to allow the applicants to revise their plans to reduce the size of
the residence and garage to 3,094 square feet and 550 square feet, respectively. This
reduces the structure by 217 square feet. The Bankers will also relocate the future
stable to the northeast portion of the lot to preserve the uphill neighbors' view
corridor. Concerns expressed by Commissioners, concerned residents and the
applicants focused on preservation of the uphill neighbors' view corridor, the
surveyed easements and structural coverage on the building pad. At the request of
the Commission, staff prepared Resolution No. 98-19 which is attached.
2. On August 10, 1998, the Planning Commission viewed a silhouette of the
proposed project at the site and from Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Surprenant's property at 7
Eastfield Drive. At the meeting, the Commission requested that staff calculate the
structural coverage on the building pad without structures that encroach into
required setbacks. At that time, proposed residential pad coverage was 63.19% and
without existing encroachments was 43.69%. The revised proposed residential pad
coverage is now 52.16% (and without encroachments 41.03%).
3. Mr. and Mrs. Banker are requesting Site Plan Review to permit the conversion of
the existing 461 square foot garage to residential space at the southwest portion of
the residence and to add on 555 square feet of residential additions as well as a 550

square foot 2-car garage at the north side of the residence. The total residence will
be 3,094 square feet with a 550 square foot garage. The existing residence is 2,078
square feet with a 461 square foot garage. There is an existing 805 square foot pool
and spa at the east side of the residence. No basement is proposed for the
additions. Site Plan Review and Nearby Properties tables are attached.
4. At the Planning Commission meeting on July 21, 1998, Dr. and Mrs. Edgar
Surprenant, 7 Eastfield Drive, stated that they opposed the project because it would
impair their view of city lights.
5. The existing dwelling and garage were constructed in 1950 and the pool and spa
east of the residence were constructed in 1961.
6. The net lot area of this irregular -shaped lot is 35,777 square feet. Structural lot
coverage will be 4,947 square feet and 13.83% of the net lot area (20% maximum
permitted). Total lot coverage will be 11,939 square feet and 33.40% of the net lot
area (35% maximum permitted).
7. The 8,172 square foot residential building pad within allowable setbacks will have
4,497 square feet or 55.03% structural building pad coverage (Guideline maximum
of 30%). Coverage on the building pad includes the one third of the existing
residence that encroaches 41 feet into the front yard setback and a 48 square foot
shed. The total building pad coverage will be 57.38%.
8. The disturbed area of the lot will be 12,264 square feet or 34.28% of the net lot area
(40% maximum).
9. The existing driveway access off Eastfield Drive will not change and the paved
driveway area will be reduced by 1,908 square feet.
10. Access to the future stable at the northeastern portion of the lot is available with a
slope of 18.3% (25% or less required) from Eastfield Drive. The Bankers are not
planning to construct a stable at this time.
11. Grading for the entire project will consist of 10 cubic yards of cut soil and 10 cubic
yards of fill soil to repair the driveway drainage and the building foundation.
12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

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 NEW
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 and structural coverage on the building pad.
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
• •
DRAFT
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 in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As 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
PAGE2OF5
• •
DRAFT
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. The 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:
A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within one year from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080(A), unless construction on
the applicable portions of the structure have commenced within that time period.
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 , 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 square feet or 34.28%
of the net lot area.
RESOLUTION NO. 98-19
PAGE 3 OF 5
DRAFT
H. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 13.83% and total lot coverage
shall not exceed 33.40%.
I. Grading shall not exceed 10 cubic yards of cut soil and 10 cubic yards of
fill soil and shall be balanced on site.
J. Any grading shall preserve the existing topography, flora, and natural
features to the greatest extent possible.
K. Landscaping shall incorporate and preserve, to the maximum extent
feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape screening
surrounding the proposed building pad.
L. Landscaping shall be provided and maintained to obscure the buildings
and the building pad with native drought -resistant vegetation that is compatible
with the surrounding vegetation of the community.
M. Landscaping materials shall not be planted that would obscure existing
viewscapes.
N. The Pepper trees to the north of the proposed residential additions
shall be trimmed and maintained below the height of the lowest branches for the
preservation of views for uphill neighbors.
O. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County
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
Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the
City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio.
P. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills
Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of
any building or grading permit.
Q. In accordance with Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute minor modifications
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. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all
conditions of this Site Plan Review or the approval shall not be effective.

Request for Site Plan Review to permit the construction of substantial additions to an
existing single family residence.
BACKGROUND
1. Mr. Donald Banker and Mrs. Diane Banker are requesting Site Plan Review to
permit the conversion of the existing garage to residential space at the southwest
portion of the residence, add on 578 square feet of residential additions as well as a
744 square foot 3-car garage at the north side of the residence. The total residence
will be 3,117 square feet with a 744 square foot garage. The existing residence is
2,078 square feet with a 461 square foot garage. There is an existing 805 square foot
pool and spa at the east side of the residence. No basement is proposed for the
additions. Site Plan Review and Nearby Properties tables are attached.
2. The existing dwelling and garage were constructed in 1950 and the pool and spa
east of the residence were constructed in 1961.
3. The net lot area of this irregular -shaped lot is 35,777 square feet. Structural lot
coverage will be 5,164 square feet and 14.43% of the net lot area (20% maximum
permitted). Total lot coverage will be 12,264 square feet and 34.28% of the net lot
area (35% maximum permitted).
4. The 8,172 square foot residential building pad within allowable setbacks will have
5,164 square feet or 63.19% structural building pad coverage (Guideline maximum

of 30%). Coverage on the building pad includes the one third of the existing
residence that encroaches 41 feet into the front yard setback and the future 450
square foot stable that is permitted to be located in the rear yard setback. The
existing building pad coverage is 41.51%.
5. The disturbed area of the lot will be 12,264 square feet or 34.28% of the net lot area
(40% maximum).
6. The existing driveway access off Eastfield Drive will not change and the paved
driveway area will be reduced by 1,908 square feet.
7. Access to the future stable at the northern portion of the lot is available with a
slope of 5.6% (25% or less required) from Eastfield Drive. The Bankers are not
planning to construct a stable at this time.
8. Grading for the entire project will consist of 10 cubic yards of cut soil and 10 cubic
yards of fill soil to repair the driveway drainage and the building foundation.
9. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed plans and take
public testimony.
