CONSTRUCTION OF A TRELLIS ON A PROPERTY THAT
REQUIRES PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW, DUE TO
EXISTING STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION
APPROVED PREVIOUSLY AND WHERE A NEW SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN
ZONING CASE NO. 731 AT 22 CREST ROAD EAST (LOT 194-
MS), (MARTIN).
REOUEST
Request for a Site Plan Review to construct a trellis on a property that requires Planning
Commission review, due to existing structural development restriction approved
previously and where a new single family residence is under construction.
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2006-14, which is attached, on
October 17, 2006 at the regular meeting granting approval in Zoning Case No. 731 for a
265 square foot attached trellis. The vote was unanimous.
2. In February.2004, Planning Commission approved an application for a new
residence at this address, with a condition that any additional structural development
be subject to Planning Commission review. Due to the development restriction placed
on the original application, the trellis requires Planning Commission approval._ The
project is under construction and consists of a 10,367 square foot residence, 1,234 square
foot garage, 1,600 square foot basement, and a service yard. A 675 square foot stable

®Printed or, Fier:yr;led 1'>i{)t:r.
with a corral exists at the northwestern portion of the property. A 65 square foot spa
was originally approved, however, the owners are not planning to construct the spa.
3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and is 5.34 acres gross in size and 4.21 acres net,
(183,360 square feet). The area under consideration for the trellis was previously
approved as an open terrace, and was included in the total coverage and disturbed area
of the lot.
4. The applicants reconfigured the motor court but reduced the size of the rear
patio at the west side of the residence. As a result additional 460 square feet of flatwork
is proposed.
5. The disturbed area of the lot is 35.4% or 64,909 square feet of the net lot area,
which includes the existing stable, (maximum permitted 40%). The additional 460
square feet of flatwork will not affected the disturbed area, as it will be located on a
previously disturbed area.
6. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 12,637 square feet or 6.9%,
(previously approved 12,437 s.f. or 6.8%), (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage
proposed including the structures and paved areas is 26,937 square feet or 14.7%
(previously approved 26,277 s.f. or 14.4%), (35% permitted).
7. The Residential building pad is 57,088 square feet and has coverage of 20.6%. The
trellis will not affect the residential building pad coverage, as it is not counted towards
the residential pad coverage.
8. The Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee
reviewed and approved the trellis, the pilasters and other landscaping features.
9. 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 the report or provide
other direction to staff.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF A TRELLIS ON A PROPERTY THAT REQUIRES
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW, DUE TO EXISTING STRUCTURAL
DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION APPROVED PREVIOUSLY AND WHERE
A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN
ZONING CASE NO. 731 AT 22 CREST ROAD EAST (LOT 194-MS),
(MARTIN).
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. Donald Martin with
respect to real property located at 22 Crest Road East, Lot 194-MS, Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a Site Plan Review to permit construction of a 265 square foot attached
trellis.
Section 2. In 2004 the Planning Commission approved an application for a
new single family residence and a condition was included in the approval that the
Planning Commission review any further development or grading on the property. Due
to this condition the Site Plan Review is required.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearing
to consider the application on September 19, 2006. Due to the minor nature of the
proposal and familiarity with the site the Planning Commission did not conduct a field
trip to the site. The applicants were notified of the public hearing 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' representative was in
attendance at the hearing.
Section 4. 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 5. Section 17.46.040 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the
Planning Commission act to approve, conditionally approve or deny any application.
The Commission may impose such conditions on an approval, as it deems necessary to
assure compliance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the
Commission may condition approval to require Site Plan Review for any future
construction on the lot, regardless of whether Site Plan Review would ordinarily be
applicable to such construction. With respect to the Site Plan Review application
requesting construction of the trellis, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings of fact:
• •
A. A condition was imposed by the Planning Commission on a previous
approval for the development of the single family residence that any future
construction requires a Site Plan Review. Therefore, the proposed 265 square foot trellis
requires Planning Commission review and approval of a Site Plan review. Without this
condition, the trellis would be allowed with an administrative approval.
B. 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.
C. The development 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 and will utilize the existing
building pad.
D. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The coverage
maximum set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is
consistent with the scale of the neighborhood.
E. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby
approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 731 for an attached
trellis as shown on the Development Plan dated August 16, 2006, and marked Exhibit
A, subject to the following conditions:
A. The Site Plan Review 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 Section 17.46.080(A) of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code, or the approval granted is otherwise extended pursuant to the
requirements of that section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review 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 Buildings 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.
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-14
•
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated August 16, 2006, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building
and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan approved with
this application.
F. No grading is required for this project.
G. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 12,437 square feet or 6.9%.
H. Total lot coverage of structures and paved areas shall not exceed 26,937
square feet or 14.7% in conformance with lot coverage limitations.
I. The disturbed area of the lot shall not exceed 64,909 square feet or 35.4% of
the net lot area in conformance with lot disturbance limitations. The proposed trellis
shall be located on an already disturbed area.
J. Residential building pad coverage on the 57,088 square foot residential
building pad shall not exceed 11,762 square feet or 20.6%, as previously approved in
Zoning Case No. 674. The proposed trellis is not counted against the building pad
coverage.
K. During construction, the property owners shall be required to schedule
and regulate construction and related traffic noise throughout the day between the
hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday only, when construction and
mechanical equipment noise is permitted, so as not to interfere with the quiet
residential environment of the City of Rolling Hills.
L. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water
Quality Control Board and County Public Works Department Best Management
Practices (BMP's) related to solid waste and storm water pollution prevention.
M. Any proposed pilasters, gates, landscaping and water features shall be
reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association.
N. All conditions of approval of Resolution No. 2004-08 shall remain in full
force and effect.
O. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code, any modifications to the property, which would constitute
additional structural development, shall require the filing of a new application for
approval by the Planning Commission.
P. Until the applicants execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of
this Site Plan Review approval, the approval shall not be effective.
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-14

Q. All conditions of the Site Plan approval, that apply, shall be complied with
prior to the issuance of a building permit from the County of Los Angeles.
