RESOLUTION NO. 2001-11
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE 'PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO
PERMIT GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE WITH A POOL, A POOL HOUSE AND A STABLE, AND
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT
A POOL HOUSE AT A VACANT SITE AT 4 PINE TREE LANE, IN ZONING
CASE NO. 629.
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. Centofante with respect to real
property located at 4 Pine Tree Lane, (Lot 96-1-RH), Rolling Hills, CA requesting a Site
Plan Review to permit grading and construction of a new residence, a pool house, a
stable, and a pool at a vacant lot, and requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the
construction of a pool house.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the applications on April 17, 2001, May 15, 2001, and at a field trip visit on
May 5, 2001.. The applicant was notified of the public hearings in writing by first class
mail. 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.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class
3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits
approval for a pool house under certain conditions, provided a Conditional Use Permit
for such use is approved by the Planning Commission. The applicant is requesting
permission to construct an 800 square foot pool house on a secondary building pa,d
located to the north of the residential building pad. With respect to this request for a
Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a pool
house would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance
and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare. The use
is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the pool
house would be located in an area on the property where such use will not dramatically
change. the existing configuration of the lot. Section 17.16.040 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permits detached pool houses in the RA-S-2 Zone with a Conditional
Use Permit.

e
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and
structures have been considered, and the construction of a pool house will not
adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the proposed pool house will be constructed at the central portion of
the lot and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences to insure that the pool house
will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the pool house will comply with the low
profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 4.9 acre
parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such
use.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district in which it is located because the 800 square foot size of
the pool house is within the 800 square foot maximum permitted and the pool house
does not encroach into any required setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting
criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current
State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of
the Zoning Code by constructing a stable structure and adjacent corral that will be
located on the same building pad.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an 800 square foot
pool house in accordance with the development plan dated May 2, 2001, and marked
Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 629 subject to the conditions contained in Section 8 of this
resolution.
Section 6. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for
site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or 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
requesting construction of the new house, pool house, pool, and stable at an existing
vacant lot, 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 setback and lot .coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of
190;680 square feet. The proposed residence (5,840 sq.ft.), garage (1,428 sq.ft.),
RESOLUTION NO. 2001-11

swimming pool (800 sq.ft.), pool house (800 sq.ft.), stable. (816 sq.ft.) and service yard
(96 sq.ft.) will have 9,780 square feet which constitutes 5.1% of the lot which is within
the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. A 4,720 square foot basement is
also proposed. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 21,400
square feet, which equals 11.2% of the lot which is within the 35% maximum overall lot
coverage requirement. The proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce
the visual impact of the development. The disturbed area of the lot will be 34%, which
is within the 40% maximum permitted.
B. 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 lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot
will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the property. The
structures proposed will not be visible from Pine Tree Lane. 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 new house, pool house, pool, and a
stable 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 the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened
and landscaped with trees and shrubs which at maturity will not exceed 25 feet in
height, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that proposed structures will
not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, will improve slope stability
through the use of approved drainage, will permit the owners to enjoy their property
without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners.
C. 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.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves dense brush and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the northwest side (rear and
side) of this lot. Grading for this project will involve 6,200 cubic yards of cut and 6,200
cubic yards of fill and will be balanced on site.
F. The development plan 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.
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 utilize an existing driveway at the southern portion of the property off Pine
Tree Lane for access.
