A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL TO PERMIT GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF
A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON A VACANT PARCEL
OF LAND IN ZONING CASE NO. 674 AT 22 CREST ROAD EAST
(LOT 194-MS), (MARTIN).
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004-08, which is attached, on
March 16, 2004 at their regular meeting granting a request for a Site Plan Review for
construction of a new single family residence at 22 Crest Road East. The vote was 5-0.
2. The applicants request a Site Plan Review to construct a 10,367 square foot
residence, 1,234 square foot garage, 65 square foot spa, and a service yard. A 675 square
foot stable with corral exist at the northwest portion of the property, north of the
proposed residence. A 1,600 square foot basement is also proposed.
3. During the Planning Commission proceedings, the Commission expressed
concern related to the size of the proposal. Since the original application was submitted
in November 2003, as a result of the Planning Commission's direction, the applicants
revised their plans several times reducing the size of the project. The development was
also moved 16 feet to the north, further away from the road frontage, and repositioned
away from the side yard setbacks. Prior to modifying the request to the size that was
approved by the Planning Commission, (in Paragraph 2), the applicants originally
proposed a 14,821 square foot residence with 1,494 square foot garage, and
subsequently reduced the development to 12,484 square foot house with 1,159 square
foot garage. A 1,746 square foot basement and a 143 square foot meandering water
feature was also part of the original proposal.

4. The applicants submitted letters from adjacent property owners, which are
attached, stating that they have no objections to the project.
5. The property is zoned RAS-2 and is 5.34 acres (gross) in size and 4.21 acres net,
(183,360 square feet). The lot is currently vacant, except for the stable. The previous
house was demolished in 1998.
6. The applicant will utilize the existing driveway located at the southeastern
portion of the lot off of Crest Road East. The driveway will cover 18.5% of the front yard
area, (20.0% permitted). To assure that the permitted 20.0% coverage of the front yard
area with the driveway is not exceeded staff will review any future revisions or
modifications to the driveway. The slope of the existing driveway is 17.0%.
7. Grading for the project will require 1,858 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,858 cubic
yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. The disturbed area of the lot will be 35.4%
or 64,909 square feet of the net lot area, which includes the existing stable, (maximum
permitted 40%).
8. The net lot area of the lot is 183,360 square feet, (4.21 acres). The stable building
pad is an existing pad measuring 3,040 square feet, with coverage of 22.2%. The
proposed residential building pad will be 57,088 square feet. Building pad coverage on
this pad is proposed to be 11,762 square feet or 20.6%, (previously 16,554 sq.ft. and
13,802 sq.ft. respectively). The combined building pad coverage will be 20.7%.
9. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 12,437 square feet or 6.8% (previously
9.4% and 7.9%, respectively), which includes the residence, garage, spa, service yard
and stable, (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage proposed including the
structures and paved areas is 26,277 square feet or 14.4% (previously 17.0% and 14.9%
respectively), (35% permitted).
10. At the November 18, 2003 Planning Commission public hearing, Mrs. Martin,
the applicant, presented the case and explained the scope and necessity of the project
and submitted architectural renderings and landscaping of the proposed development.
Mrs. Martin stated that there are other residences in the city comparable in size to this
proposal and provided a list of them.
11. In March 1998, the Planning Commission approved a Site Plan for the
construction of a 9,845 square foot residence with a 1,422 square foot garage. That house
was not built. In June 2000, the Planning Commission approved a 9,631 square foot
residence with 1,473 square foot garage and a swimming pool. That Site Plan Review
application expired and the house was not built.
12. Utilities to the structures will be placed underground.
13. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review the project at a later date.
14. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO
PERMIT GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE ON A VACANT PARCEL OF LAND IN ZONING CASE NO.
674 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 grading and construction of a new 10,367
square foot single family residence with 1,234 square foot garage and a 65 square foot
spa. A 1,600 square foot basement is also proposed. A 675 square foot stable exists on
the property and will remain.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on November 18, 2003, December 16, 2003, January 20, 2004
and February 17, 2004, and at a field trip visit on December 13, 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 and their representatives were in attendance at the
hearings.
Section 3. During the proceedings the Planning Commission expressed
concerns over the size of the originally proposed development, and as a result, the
applicants revised and scaled down their plans.
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 17.46.030 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, 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 183,360 square
feet. The proposed residence (10,367 sq.ft.), garage (1,234 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.),
spa (65 sq.ft.) and the existing 675 square foot stable will have 12,437 square feet of
structures, which constitutes 6.8% of the net lot which is within the maximum 20%
structural lot coverage requirement. A 1,600 square foot basement is proposed for this
development The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 26,277
square feet, which constitutes 14.4% of the net lot which is within the 35% maximum
overall net lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is located more than 100
from the roadway easement so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The
disturbed area of the lot will be 35.4%, which is within the 40% maximum permitted,
and includes the stable pad.
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 native
vegetation and trees in the rear of the property 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 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 the ridge height of the structure, 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.
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
1,858 cubic yards of cut and 1,858 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
project will utilize the existing driveway approach at Crest Road.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
RESOLUTION NO.2004-08

Request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a new single family
residence with garage and spa on a vacant parcel of land.
BACKGROUND
1. At the January 20, 2004 Planning Commission meeting the applicants requested
continuance of this case to tonight's meeting to allow their representatives time to
further revise the proposed development.
2. The applicants revised their proposal and are requesting a Site Plan Review to
construct a 10,367 square foot residence (originally proposed 14,821 square feet, and
subsequently 12,484 square feet constituting 2,117 sq.ft. reduction from the January
meeting), 1,234 square foot garage (previously 1,494 square feet, and subsequently
1,159, a 75 sq.ft. increase from previous meeting), 65 square foot spa (previously 143
square foot meandering water feature), and a service yard. A 675 square foot stable and
corral exist at the northwest portion of the property, north of the proposed residence. A
1,600 square foot basement is also proposed, (previously 1,746 sq.ft. basement).
3. Since the original application was submitted, the applicants revised their plans
twice and moved the development 16 feet to the north, further, away from the road
frontage, and repositioned the development away from the side yard setbacks. In the
front, the westerly portion of the proposed dwelling will be 114 feet from the roadway
easement and the easterly portion will be 104 feet from the roadway easement; along
the west side of the property, the distance from the westerly property line to the house
will vary from 52 feet to 68 feet (previously 48 feet to 64 feet); and along the east side of

the property the distance from the easterly property line to the house will vary from 73
feet to 54 feet, same as proposed previously.
4. The applicants submitted letters from adjacent property owners, which are
attached, stating that they have no objections to the project.
5. The property is zoned RAS-2 and is 5.34 acres (gross) in size and 4.21 acres net,
(183,360 square feet). The lot is currently vacant, except for the stable. The previous
house was demolished in 1998.
6. The applicant will utilize the existing driveway located at the southeastern
portion of the lot off of Crest Road East. The driveway will cover 18.5% of the front yard
area, (20.0% permitted). To assure that the permitted 20.0% coverage of the front yard
area with the driveway is not exceeded staff will review any future revisions or
modifications to the driveway. The slope of the existing driveway is 17.0%.
7. In March of 1998, the Planning Commission approved a Site Plan for the
construction of a 9,845 square foot residence with a 1,422 square foot garage. That house
was not built. In June 2000, the Planning Commission approved a 9,631 square foot
residence with 1,473 square foot garage and a swimming pool. That Site Plan Review
application expired and the house was not built.
8. Grading for the project will require 1,858 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,858 cubic
yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. The disturbed area of the lot will be 35.4%
or 64,909 square feet of the net lot area, which includes the existing stable, (maximum
permitted 40%).
9. The net lot area of the lot is 183,360 square feet, (4.21 acres). The stable building
pad is an existing pad measuring 3,040 square feet, with coverage of 22.2%. The
proposed residential building pad will be 57,088 square feet. Building pad coverage on
this pad is proposed to be 11,762 square feet or 20.6%, (previously 16,554 sq.ft. and
13,802 sq.ft. respectively). The combined building pad coverage will be 20.7%.
10. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 12,437 square feet or 6.8% (previously
9.4% and 7.9%, respectively), which includes the residence, garage, spa, service yard
and stable, (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage proposed including the
structures and paved areas is 26,277 square feet or 14.4% (previously 17.0% and 14.9 %
respectively), (35% permitted).
11. At the November 18, 2003 Planning Commission public hearing, Mrs. Martin,
the applicant, presented the case and explained the scope and necessity of the project
and submitted architectural renderings of the proposed development and landscaping.
Mrs. Martin stated that there are other residences in the city comparable in size to this
proposal and provided a list of them.
12. Utilities to the structures will be placed underground.
13. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review the project at a later
date.

MR. AND MRS. DONALD MARTIN
DOUGLAS McHATTIE, BOLTON ENGINEERING
LANDRY DESIGN GROUP
NOVEMBER 8, 2003
Request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a new single family
residence with garage and water feature on a vacant parcel of land.
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission scheduled a field visit to subject property on
December 13, 2003.
2. The applicants are requesting a Site Plan Review to construct a 14,821 square foot
residence, 1,494 square foot garage, 143 square foot meandering water feature and a
service yard. A 675 square foot stable and corral exist at the northwest side of the
property, north of the proposed residence. A 1,746 square foot basement is also
proposed. The proposed construction requires grading.
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 lot is currently vacant, except for the stable. The previous
house was demolished in 1998.
4. The applicant will utilize the existing driveway located at the southeastern
portion of the lot off of Crest Road East. The driveway will cover 18.5% of the front yard
area, (20.0% permitted). Any future revision or modification to the driveway will be
reviewed by staff to assure that the permitted 20.0% coverage of the front yard area
with the driveway is not exceeded. The slope of the driveway is 17.0%.
5. In March of 1998, the Planning Commission approved a Site Plan for the
construction of a 9,845 square foot residence with a 1,422 square foot garage. That house

was not built. In June 2000, the Planning Commission approved a 9,631 square foot
residence with 1,473 square foot garage and a swimming pool. That Site Plan Review
application expired and the house was not built.
6. Grading for the project will require 2,127 cubic yards of cut soil and 2,127 cubic
yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. The disturbed area of the lot will be 35.4%
or 64,909 square feet of the net lot area, which includes the existing stable, (maximum
permitted 40%).
7. The net lot area of the lot is 183,360 square feet, (4.21 acres). The stable building
pad is an existing pad measuring 3,040 square feet, with coverage of 22.2%. The
proposed residential building pad will be 57,088 square feet. Building pad coverage on
this pad is proposed to be 16,554 square feet or 29.0%. The combined building pad
coverage will be 28.6%.
8. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 17,229 square feet or 9.4%, which
includes the residence, garage, pool, service yard and stable, (20% permitted); and the
total lot coverage proposed including the structures and paved areas is 31,012 square
feet or 17.0%, (35% permitted).
9. The heightof the residence, at its highest point, is proposed at 25 feet from
the finished grade.
10. At the November 18, 2003 Planning Commission public hearing, Mrs.
Martin, the applicant, presented the case and explained the scope and necessity
of this development and submitted architectural renderings of the proposed
development and landscaping. Mrs. Martin stated that there are other residences
in the city comparable in size to this proposal and provided a list of them.
11. Utilities to the structures will be placed underground.
12. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review the project at a later
date.
13. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission view the site and take public
testimony.
