Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including. what aspects of the
project require a Variance.
The proposed addition and remodeling involves an expansion of the existing barn. The

setbacks.
Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the
'same vicinity and zone.
The nonconforming condition related to the required setbacks is existing. The
proposed addition and remodeling is staying within the existing setback,- that is,
it will not encroach further into the required setback.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to
the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property.is located becau
The addition is only a minor expansion and remodeling of the existing barn.

NATURE OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what
aspects of the project require a Site Plan Review.
This project involves expansion and remodelling the existing single family residence
an barn at the above address. Site plan review is required due to the expansion of
the residence is in excess of 25%.
SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA
Site Plan Review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must
make an affirmative finding. Describe in detail the project's
conformance to the below criteria:
A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the zoning
ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it compares to sizes,
set -backs and other characteristics of neighboring houses.
The existing single family use will remain unchanged by this project.
B. Does the project preserve and integrate 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)?
Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing natural
features.
The project does not affect the existing natural topographic features of the lot,
all vegetation to remain as existing. Existing drainage courses remain unaffected.
5
C. Does the site development plan follow natural contours of the
site to minimize grading; extensive grading and recontouring of
existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved?
Graded slopes shall be rounded and contoured so as to blend with
existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage or
re -direct drainage flow unless into an existing drainage courses.
Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed
minimization measures.
No grading will be required .
D. Does the site development plan preserve surrounding native
vegetation and supplement it with landscaping that is compatible with
and enhances the rural character of the community? Landscaping
should provide a buffer and transition zone between private and
public areas. Explain how the project preserves native vegetation,
integrates landscaping and creates buffers.
All the native vegetation will remain as existing
E. Does the site development plan substantially preserve the
natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building
coverage? Lot coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums
and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted should depend upon
the existing buildable area of the lot. Explain how the lot coverage
proposed compares with lot coverage square footage and percentages on
neighboring lots.
Proposed development will increase lot coverage by only 1%. Over 90% of the
property remains undeveloped.
F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with
the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences? Setbacks
shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall be
imposed where necessary to assure proportionality and openness.
Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with the existing
setbacks of neighboring properties.
Since this is a remodel, the general character and scale of the site will remain
essentially unchanged. Setbacks are not altered at the front (158' existing).
Proposed rear setback is 245'.
6
• •
J
G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to.
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles?
Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway
location, design, trip data and landscaping and other on -site parking
or storage areas.
The proposed project does not alter existing circulation patterns, either pedestrian
or vehicular.
H. Does the site development plan conform with the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act? Explain how the project
impacts the environment, e.g., significant impact, proposed
mitigation measures.
There will be no significant impact to the environment, with the additions proposed.
I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached
exhibits, present the data and information required for the site plan
review criteria eevaluation to be the best of my ability; and, that
the facts, statements and other information presented are true and

COMPUTATION OF BUILDABLE AREA AND COVERAGE THEREOF '
A policy of the City is to address coverage of an identified "EXISTING
BUILDABLE AREA". Coverage thereof is based upon the calculation of the
"footprint" square footage of the residence, garage, stable (barn), and
other accessory structures proposed and/or developed on said "buildable
area".
For purposes of this calculation, "buildable area" shall be defined as
stated in Section 17.08.135 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code which
declares existing "buildable area" as the portion of a lot that
constitutes the existing building pad and any other contiguous portion
of the lot within allowable setbacks that has an average slope of ten
percent (10%) or less. If there is no existing building pad, it shall
mean that portion of a lot within allowable setbacks that has an average
slope of ten percent (10%) or less.

20. The project is an approximately 5.2 acre parcel located at the end of Packsaddle
Road in Rolling Hills. The site has a relatively level building pad adjacent
to the end of Packsaddle Road which measures approximately 180' x 250'.
The site slopes away from this pad to the north, south and east, dropping
approximately 150'. The building pad presently contains an existing single
family residence and attached garage, swimming pool, circle drive and barn.
Existing planting materials include native brush and grasses on the steep
hillsides (see photographs), and some non-native pine and palm trees
around the existing residence.
21. This project is surrounded by extremely low density single family residential
developments which share similar topography, native plants and animals with
the project site (see photographs).
