SUBJECT: RESOLUTION 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.
Mr. and Mrs. William Powers, 22 Crest Road East (Lot 194-MS)
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2000-15 that is attached on June
20, 2000 at their regular meeting granting a request for site plan review for the
construction of a new single family residence to replace a single family residence.
The vote was 3-2. Commissioners Roger Sommer and John Margeta voted in
opposition to the project.
2. The applicants are 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.
3. 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.
4. Concerns expressed by Commissioners focused on the size of the house and the
height of the building pad which would be raised 3 feet as was the previously
approved project. 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.
5. As a result of the public hearing process, the applicants revised their plans by
reducing the size of the residence by 236 square feet (from 9,867 square feet to
9,631 square feet) and compressing the length of the residence from west to east

from 213 feet to 195 feet which resulted in the residence being 13 feet further from
the east property line (from 50 feet to 63 feet). The structural lot coverage was
reduced from 6.7% to 6.5%, the total lot coverage reduced from 18.4 to 18.3%, the
residential pad coverage reduced from 22.9% to 22.5%, the total lot coverage
reduced from 22.9% to 22.5%, and the disturbed area of the lot reduced from
26.4% to 25.6%. The basement area for the residence has been reduced from 5,755
square feet to 5,547 square feet. The disturbed area of the lot was reduced from
26.7% to 26.4%. The residential reduction also reduced the amount of grading
from 2,070 cubic yards of cut soil to 2,001 cubic yards and from 1,860 cubic yards of
fill soil to 1,800 cubic yards of fill soil (Balanced with allowance for soil shrinkage).
6. The applicants made application for the present Zoning Case on February 17, 2000,
prior to the March 17, 2000 second anniversary date in accordance with Section
17.46.080(3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code which requires that "No extension
period shall be granted beyond the second anniversary of the original project
approval unless a new public hearing is held. Any extension granted beyond the
second anniversary of original approval may only be granted or denied in the
same manner and based upon the same criteria as required for approval of the
original project."
A letter from Mr. Powers is attached describing the reason for the delay as being
related to significant family issues along with the completion of another significant
construction project.
7. Two basements, one beneath the west wing of the residence and one beneath the
east wing of the residence, totaling 5,547 square feet are proposed for the project
with the grading quantities included in the balanced cut and fill.
8. A 545 square foot stable and a corral exist at the northwest side of the property
north of the residence.
9. The previous residence now demolished was constructed in 1953.
10. The existing driveway access will remain the same at the southeastern portion of
the lot off Crest Road East.
11. The structural lot coverage proposed is 11,749 square feet or 6.5% (20% permitted)
and the total lot coverage proposed is 32,967 square feet or 18.3% (35%
permitted).
12. The 49,800 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of
11,204 square feet or 22.5%. The 2,518 square foot stable pad coverage will be 545
square feet or 21.6%. Total structural building pad coverage will be 22.5%.
13. The new grading is limited to improving the drainage of thebuilding pad.
Grading for the project site will require 2,001 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,800 cubic
yards of fill soil. The architects report that the cut and fill will be balanced and
have allowed for shrinkage of the soil when it is compacted.
ZONING CASE NO. 609

•
14. The disturbed area of the lot will be 46,168 square feet or 25.6% (40% maximum
permitted; any graded building pad area, any remedial grading (temporary
disturbance), any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any nongraded area
where impervious surfaces exist.
15. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file Resolution No. 2000-15.

RESOLUTION 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 onthe 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 willbe 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.
Section 6. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 5 of this Resolution is subject to
the following conditions.
A. This Site Plan approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of
approval if construction pursuant to these approvals has not commenced within that time
period, as required by Section 17.46.080.

Dear Ms. Unger:
As you requested, I am writing to inform you of the reason for the delay of the project at 22
Crest Road East.
Since the time original approval, was granted for Zoning Case No. 569, I have undergone a
series of significant family issues that forced the project to be placed on hold. In addition, I
have only recently completed another significant construction project that has taken much of
my time and personal attention.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.

BACKGROUND
a new single family residence to
1. The applicants revised their plans by reducing the size of the residence by 236
square feet (from 9,867 square feet to 9,631 square feet) and compressing the
length of the residence from west to east from 213 feet to 195 feet which
resulted in the residence being 13 feet further from the east property line (from
50 feet to 63 feet). The structural lot coverage was reduced from 6.7% to 6.5%,
the total lot coverage reduced from 18.4 to 18.3%, the residential pad coverage
reduced from 22.9% to 22.5%, the total lot coverage reduced from 22.9% to
22.5%, and the disturbed area of the lot reduced from 26.4% to 25.6%. The
basement area for the residence has been reduced from 5,755 square feet to 5,547
square feet. The disturbed area of the lot was reduced from 26.7% to 26.4%. The
residential reduction also reduced the amount of grading from 2,070 cubic yards
of cut soil to 2,001 cubic yards and from 1,860 cubic yards of fill soil to 1,800 cubic
yards of fill soil (Balanced with allowance for soil shrinkage).
2. On March 17, 1998, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-4
granting Site Plan Review approval for the construction of a new single family
residence at 22 Crest Road East in Zoning Case No. 569. An existing single
family residence at the site was demolished by the owners. On January 19, 1999,

Re: Submission for Re -approval
Zoning Case No. 569
22 Crest Road East.
Dear Ms. Unger:
As you requested, I am writing to inform you of the reason for the delay of the project at 22
Crest Road East.
Since the time original approval was granted for Zoning Case No. 569, have undergone a
series of significant family issues that forced the project to be placed on hold. In addition, I
have only recently completed another significant construction project that has taken much of
my time and personal attention.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.
William Powers

D *AFT
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 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 9,867 square foot single family
residence and 1,473 square foot attached garage to replace a previously demolished single
family residence and attached garage. The request is consistent with previously approved but
now expiring 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. The applicants were notified of the hearing in
writing by first class mail. The applicants and the applicants' representatives were in
attendance at the hearings.
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
fad:
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 (9,867 sq. ft.), garage (1,473 sq.
ft.), existing stable (545 sq. ft.), and spa (100 sq. ft.) will have 11,985 square feet which
constitutes 6.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 33,203 square
feet which equals 18.4% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage
requirement.
Resolution No. 2000-06
Page 1 of 5
D f S4
B. The proposed 'velopment, 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 22.9%.
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.
Section 6. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 5 of this Resolution is subject to
the following conditions.
A. This Site Plan approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of
approval if construction pursuant to these approvals has not commenced within that time
period, as required by Section 17.46.080.
B. . It is declared and made a condition of this Site Plan approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted
thereunder shall lapse; 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.

3.
A letter from Mr. Powers is attached describing the reason for the delay as being
related to significant family issues along with the completion of another
significant construction project.
The proposed plans for the project are essentially the same as the original
proposal and are compared below. Total structural coverage is larger by 73
square feet. Two separate basements have replaced the previously approved
one basement area, one beneath the west wing and one beneath the east wing.
While the total basement area was enlarged by 273 square feet, grading
quantities have been reduced. Staff prepared a draft resolution of approval
should the Commission be so inclined.
4. William and Carolyn Powers are requesting Site Plan Review for the
construction of a new 9,867 square foot single family dwelling, a 1,473 square
foot garage, a 100 square foot swimming pool, and a 545 square foot existing
stable. Tables outlining Site Plan Review Requirements and the sizes of homes
on neighboring properties are attached. The new site development is limited
to the existing building pad.
5. Two basements, one beneath the west wing of the residence and one beneath
the east wing of the residence, totaling 5,755 square feet are proposed for the
project with the grading quantities included in the balanced cut and fill.
6. A 545 square foot stable and a corral exist at the northwest side of the property
north of the residence.
7. The previous residence was constructed in 1953.
8. The existing driveway access will remain the same at the southeastern portion
of the lot off Crest Road East.
9. The structural lot coverage proposed is 11,985 square feet or 6.7% (20%
permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 33,203 square feet or 18.4%
(35% permitted).
10. The 49,800 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of
11,440 square feet or 22.9%. The 2,518 square foot stable pad coverage will be 545
square feet or 21.6%. Total structural building pad coverage will be 22.9%.
11. The new grading is limited to improving the drainage of the building pad.
Grading for the project site will require 2,070 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,860
cubic yards of fill soil. The architects report that the cut and fill will be balanced
and have allowed for shrinkage of the soil when it is compacted.
12. The disturbed area of the lot will be 48,180 square feet or 26.7% (40% maximum
permitted; any graded building pad area, any remedial grading (temporary

where impervious surfaces exist.
13. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Re: Submission for Re -approval
Zoning Case No. 569
22 Crest Road East.
Dear Ms. Unger:
As you requested, I am writing to inform you of the reason for the delay of the project at 22
Crest Road East.
Since the time original approval was granted for Zoning Case No. 569, I have undergone a
series of significant family issues that forced the project to be placed on hold. In addition, I
have only recently completed another significant construction project that has taken much of
my time and personal attention.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
William Powers
I/RESOLUTION NO. 2000-06• D
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 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 9,867 square foot single family
residence and 1,473 square foot attached garage to replace a previously demolished single
family residence and attached garage. The request is consistent with previously approved but
now expiring 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. The applicants were notified of the hearing in
writing by first class mail. The applicants and the applicants' representatives were in
attendance at the hearings.
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 (9,867 sq. ft.), garage (1,473 sq.
ft.), existing stable (545 sq. ft.), and spa (100 sq. ft.) will have 11,985 square feet which
constitutes 6.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 33,203 square
feet which equals 18.4% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage
requirement.
Resolution No. 2000-06
Page 1 of 5
B. The proposed •elopment, as modified, by th*nditions 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 22.9%.
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.
Section 6. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 5 of this Resolution is subject to
the following conditions.

approval if construction pursuant to these approvals has not commenced within that time
period, as required by Section 17.46.080.
B. It is declared and made a condition of this Site Plan approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted
thereunder shall lapse; 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.

A letter from Mr. Powers is attached describing the reason for the delay as being
related to significant family issues along with the completion of another
significant construction project.
3. The proposed plans for the project are essentially the same as the original
proposal and are compared below. Total structural coverage is larger by 73
square feet. Two separate basements have replaced the previously approved
one basement area, one beneath the west wing and one beneath the east wing.
While the total basement area was enlarged by 273 square feet, grading
quantities have been reduced. Staff prepared a draft resolution of approval
should the Commission be so inclined.
4. William and Carolyn Powers are requesting Site Plan Review for the
construction of a new 9,867 square foot single family dwelling, a 1,473 square
foot garage, a 100 square foot swimming pool, and a 545 square foot existing
stable. Tables outlining Site Plan Review Requirements and the sizes of homes
on neighboring properties are attached. The new site development is limited
to the existing building pad.
5. Two basements, one beneath the west wing of the residence and one beneath
the east wing of the residence, totaling 5,755 square feet are proposed for the
project with the grading quantities included in the balanced cut and fill.
6. A 545 square foot stable and a corral exist at the northwest side of the property
north of the residence.
7. The previous residence was constructed in 1953.
8. The existing driveway access will remain the same at the southeastern portion
of the lot off Crest Road East.
9. The structural lot coverage proposed is 11,985 square feet or 6.7% (20%
permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 33,203 square feet or 18.4%
(35% permitted).
10. The 49,800 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of
11,440 square feet or 22.9%. The 2,518 square foot stable pad coverage will be 545
square feet or 21.6%. Total structural building pad coverage will be 22.9%.
11. The new grading is limited to improving the drainage of the building pad.
Grading for the project site will require 2,070 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,860
cubic yards of fill soil. The architects report that the cut and fill will be balanced
and have allowed for shrinkage of the soil when it is compacted.
12. The disturbed area of the lot will be 48,180 square feet or 26.7% (40% maximum
permitted; any graded building pad area, any remedial grading (temporary

Request for Site Plan Review to construct a new
replace an existing single family residence.
BACKGROUND
single family
residence to
1. On March 17, 1998, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-4
granting Site Plan Review approval for the construction of a new single family
residence at 22 Crest Road East in Zoning Case No. 569. An existing single
family residence at the site was demolished by the owners. On January 19, 1999,
the Commission adopted a request for a one-year time extension for the project
by Resolution No. 99-2.
The applicants made application for the present Zoning Case on February 17,
2000, prior to the March 17, 2000 second anniversary date in accordance with
Section 17.46.080(3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code which requires that
"No extension period shall be granted beyond the second anniversary of the
original project approval unless a new public hearing is held. Any extension
granted beyond the second anniversary of original approval may only be
granted or denied in the same manner and based upon the same criteria as
required for approval of the original project."
A letter from Mr. Powers is attached describing the reason for the delay as being
related to significant family issues along with the completion of another
significant construction project.
ZONING CASE NO. 609

Pririted on Recycled Paper.
2. The proposed plans for the project are essentially the same as the original
proposal and are compared below. Total structural coverage is larger by 73
square feet. Two separate basements have replaced the previously approved
one basement area, one beneath the west wing and one beneath the east wing.
While the total basement area was enlarged by 273 square feet, grading
quantities have been reduced. Staff prepared a draft resolution of approval
should the Commission be so inclined.
3. William and Carolyn Powers are requesting Site Plan Review for the
construction of a new 9,867 square foot single family dwelling, a 1,473 square
foot garage, a 100 square foot swimming pool, and a 545 square foot existing
stable. Tables outlining Site Plan Review Requirements and the sizes of homes
on neighboring properties are attached. The new site development is limited
to the existing building pad.
4. • Two basements, one beneath the west wing of the residence and one beneath
the east wing of the residence, totaling 5,755 square feet are proposed for the
project with the grading quantities included in the balanced cut and fill.
5. A 545 square foot stable and a corral exist at the northwest side of the property
north of the residence.
6. The previous residence was constructed in 1953.
7. The existing driveway access will remain the same at the southeastern portion
of the lot off Crest Road East.
8. The structural lot coverage proposed is 11,985 square feet or 6.7% (20%
permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 33,203 square feet or 18.4%
(35% permitted).
9. The 49,800 square foot residential building pad will have proposed coverage of
11,440 square feet or 22.9%. The 2,518 square foot stable pad coverage will be 545
square feet or 21.6%. Total structural building pad coverage will be 22.9%.
10. The new grading is limited to improving the drainage of the building pad.
Grading for the project site will require 2,070 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,860
cubic yards of fill soil. The architects report that the cut and fill will be balanced
and have allowed for shrinkage of the soil when it is compacted.
11. The disturbed area of the lot will be 48,180 square feet or 26.7% (40% maximum
permitted; any graded building pad area, any remedial grading (temporary
disturbance), any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any nongraded area
where impervious surfaces exist.

Re: Submission for Re -approval
Zoning Case No. 569
22 Crest Road East.
Dear Ms. Unger:
As you requested, I am writing to inform you of the reason for the delay of the project at 22
Crest Road East.
Since the time original approval was granted for Zoning Case No. 569, I have undergone a
series of significant family issues that forced the project to be placed on hold. In addition, I
have only recently completed another significant construction project that has taken much of
my time and personal attention.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.

DRAFT
RESOLUTION NO. 2000-06
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 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 9,867 square foot single family
residence and 1,473 square foot attached garage to replace a previously demolished single
family residence and attached garage. The request is consistent with previously approved but
now expiring 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. The applicants were notified of the hearing in
writing by first class mail. The applicants and the applicants' representatives were in
attendance at the hearings.
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 (9,867 sq. ft.), garage (1,473 sq.
ft.), existing stable (545 sq. ft.), and spa (100 sq. ft.) will have 11,985 square feet which
constitutes 6.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 33,203 square
Resolution No. 2000-06

DRAFT
feet which equals 18.4% 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 22.9%.
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 ahibit A, subject
to the conditions contained in Section 6 of this Resolution.
Section 6. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 5 of this Resolution is subject to
the following conditions.
A. This Site Plan approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of
approval if construction pursuant to these approvals has not commenced sithin that time
period, as required by Section 17.46.080.
