609, Demo existing SFR & garage. C, Resolutions & Approval ConditionsRESOLUTION NO. 2000-15 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE TO REPLACE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 22 CREST ROAD EAST IN ZONING CASE NO. 609. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. A. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. William Powers with respect to real property located at 22 Crest Road East (Lot 194-MS), Rolling Hills, requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence and attached garage to replace a previously demolished single family residence and attached garage. The request is consistent with previously approved but now expired Zoning Case No. 569. B. Zoning Case No. 569 was originally approved by the Planning Commission by Resolution No. 98-4 on March 17, 1998. The previous approval involved the construction of a new 9,845 square foot residence and 1,422 attached garage on an existing lot that is now vacant except for a 545 square foot stable. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on March 21, 2000, April 18, 2000, and May 16, 2000, and at a field trip visit on April 15, 2000. 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 were notified of the hearing in writing by first class mail. The applicants' representatives were in attendance at the hearings. Concerns expressed by Commissioners focused on the size of the house and the height of the building pad. During the hearing process, the size of the residence was reduced by 236 square feet to be a 9,631 square foot residence and 1,473 square foot attached garage. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 2 Exemption (State ' CEQA Guidelines, Section 15302 and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. Section 17.46.020 requires a development plan to be submitted 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 or structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in 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 or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period, may be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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 180,186 square feet. The proposed residence (9,631 sq. ft.), garage (1,473 sq. ft.), existing stable (545 sq. ft.), and spa (100 sq. ft.) will have 11,749 square feet which Resolution No. 2000-15 Page 1 of 5 constitutes 6.5% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 32,967 square feet which equals 18.3% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. B. The proposed development, as modified, by the conditions of approval, 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). C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading. The natural drainage courses will be preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the northern side of this lot. D. The development plan will, based upon compliance with the conditions contained 'in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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. Further, the proposed project will have a residential buildable pad of 49,800 square feet with a total building pad coverage of 22.5%. F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and other residences on Crest Road and Portuguese Bend Road. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded. The proposed project is also consistent with the scale of other large homes in the immediate neighborhood. Grading will be minor and required only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage compares to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the existing driveway accessway. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 609 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 6 of this Resolution.
