INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 E-mail: cityofrh@aol.com Agenda Item No.: 4A Mtg. Date: 6/25/01 BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2001-11, which is attached, on June 19, 2001 at their regular meeting granting a request for a site plan approval to construct a new single family residence, which requires grading a pool, pool house, and a stable, and a Conditional Use Permit to construct a pool house. The vote was 5-0. 2. The Planning Commission viewed a silhouette of the proposed project at the site on Saturday, May 5, 2001, and held public hearings on April 17, 2001 and May 15, 2001. 3. The applicant is requesting Site Plan Review approval for the construction of a new 5,840 square foot residence with 4,720 square foot basement, 1,428 square foot garage, 800 square foot pool, 800 square foot pool house, 816 square foot stable and a service yard at an existing vacant lot. A 1,375 square foot basketball court exists on the site. The basketball court will be demolished, and therefore is not included in the net lot and pad coverage calculations. A Conditional Use Permit review is also requested for the construction of the pool house. The proposed construction requires grading. Site Plan Review criteria and house/lot size comparison of nearby residences is attached. ZC No.629 1 Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 4. The proposed pool house will be located on a secondary building pad, situated below the residential pad, to the north of the residence. Pursuant to Section 17.16.210 of the Zoning Ordinance, cabanas and detached recreation rooms require conditional use permit. Staff determined that based on the type of use proposed and its location, the proposed pool house falls under the definition of a cabana under the City's Zoning Ordinance. No sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities are permitted in cabanas or detached recreation rooms. These conditions are included in the conditions of approval. 5. Grading for the project will require 6,200 cubic yards of cut soil and 6,200 cubic yards of fill soil, which will be balanced on site. 6. The property is zoned RAS-2, and the net lot area is 4,377 acres. The property is developed with dense trees and bushes, which will remain, except where the • development is proposed. Proposed are two new construction pads totaling 37,440 square feet. 7. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 9,780 square feet or 5.1%, which includes the residence, garages, pool, pool house, stable, and the service yard, (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage proposed including the structures and paved areas is 21,400 square feet or 11.2%, (35% permitted). 8. Building pad coverage on the 26,800 square foot residential building pad is 7,364 square feet or 27.5 %. Building pad coverage on the 10,640 square foot pool, pool house and stable pad is 2,416 square feet or 22.7%. The two pads total 37,440 square feet and will have 26.1% coverage. 9. Disturbed area of the lot will be 34.0%, (40% permitted) of the net lot area. Disturbance includes any remedial grading (temporary disturbance), any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any nongraded area where impervious surfaces will remain or are proposed to be added. 10. In February of 2001 the original 2,882 square foot house, garage and a pool were demolished. The original house was built in 1937. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing apron and the existing driveway, therefore a review by the Traffic Commission is not required. However, the driveway will be widened to 15 feet. Due to the distance from the road to the proposed residence, the Fire Department will require that the residence be equipped with a sprinkler system. According to applicant's representative, the driveway was reviewed and approved by the Fire Department. 11. Access to the proposed stable will be by a 10-foot wide gravel driveway, located along the westerly side of the house, with a slope not to exceed 16%. 12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to 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. 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 pad 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. • • 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 PAGE 2 OF 8 • • 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 developmentplan 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.

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.
