RESOLUTION NO. 2003-20
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A SITE
PLAN REVIEW FOR GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A
NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND GUEST HOUSE AND
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A GUEST HOUSE ON A VACANT PARCEL
OF LAND IN ZONING CASE NO. 670 AT 18 CREST ROAD EAST
(LOT 193-1-MS), (SLUSHER).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Howard Slusher
with respect to real property located at 18 Crest Road East, (Lot 193-1-MS),
Rolling Hills, CA requesting a Site Plan Review to permit grading and
construction of a new 6,700 square foot single family residence with 1,520 square
foot garage, 1,120 square foot swimming pool, 720 square foot guest house and
450 square foot future stable.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the application on August 18, 2003, September 16, 2003 and
at a field trip visit on September 9, 2003. The applicants were 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 applicants' representatives were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. Originally, the applicants requested an additional
Conditional Use permit for a detached recreation room. After the Planning
Commission field trip and public hearing, the applicants scaled down and
revised their proposal so that a second Conditional Use Permit would not be
required. The project will be restricted to a 20-foot height from the finished
grade.
Section 4. During the proceedings lengthy discussion ensued
concerning the location of the future stable. Mr. Phil Belleville, 12 Crest Road
East objected to the proposed location of the future stable. However, the
applicant and the Planning Commission found the proposed location to be most
desirable.
Section 5. 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 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, guest house and future stable, 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 net
lot area of the lot is 132,240 square feet, (3.03 acres). The proposed residence
(6,700 sq.ft.), garage (1,520 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.), swimming pool (1,120
sq.ft.), gust house (720 sq.ft.) and future stable (450 sq.ft.) will have 10,606 square
feet of structures, which constitutes 8.0% of the net lot which is within the
maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage
including all structures, paved areas and driveway will be 23,110 square feet,
which constitutes 17.2% of the net lot which is within the 35% maximum overall
net 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 37.7%, which is within the 40% maximum permitted, and includes the
future stable.
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 trees on the northern portion on the parcel will remain and will screen
the residence from the neighbors. 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 and stable.will not adversely
affect or, be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures
because the proposed structure 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 20 feet in height, is a
sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structure will not
impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will substantially
utilize the existing building pad for the new construction.
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.
Resolution No. 2003-20 2
Slusher
• 04 0963541
D. The development plan incorporates existing 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 retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this
project will involve 3,682 cubic yards of cut and 3,682 cubic yards of fill and will
be balanced on site.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed development will utilize the existing driveway.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case
No. 670 for grading and for construction of a new residence guest house as
shown on the Development Plan dated September 30, 2003, and marked Exhibit
A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 10 of this Resolution.
Section 8. Section 17.16.210(A)(5) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a guest house under certain conditions, provided the
Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is
requesting to construct a 720 square foot guest house. 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
guest 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 because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the
area proposed for the guest house would be located in an area on the property
where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot.
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house will
not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed .guest house will be located in a
cluster with the proposed pool and residence to promote pad integration and is
of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the guest 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 guest house will comply
with the low profile residential development pattern of the community. The
Resolution No. 2003-20 3
Slusher
• 04 0963541
height of the structure will be restricted to 20 feet maximum from the finished
grade.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zone district because the 720 square foot size of the
guest house is less than the maximum permitted under the Municipal Code and
the guest house does not encroach into any 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 because an adequate area is set -aside for the construction
of a future stable structure and adjacent corral.
Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the
record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for
the construction of an 720 square foot guest house, in accordance with the
development plan dated September 30, 2003 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning
Case No. 670 subject to the conditions contained in Section 10 of this Resolution.
Section 10. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 7 and the
Conditional Use Permit approved in Section 9 of this Resolution are subject to
the following conditions:
A. The Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit approval shall
expire within one year from the effective date of approval if construction
pursuant to this approval has not commenced within that time period, as
required by Sections 17.46.080(A) and 17.42.070(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code, or the approval granted is otherwise extended pursuant to the
requirements of those sections.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the
privileges granted hereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have been
given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has
been provided, and if requested, 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.
C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must
be complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on
an approved plan.
