MR. AND MRS. KORODY (Lot 990-RH)
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2001-06, that is attached,
on March 20, 2001 at their regular meeting granting a request for Site Plan Review
for the construction of a substantial addition to an existing single family residence.
The vote was 5-0.
2. The Planning Commission viewed a silhouette of the proposed project at
the site on Saturday, February 3, 2001 and held public hearings on January 16,
2001, and February 20, 2001.
3. The applicant is requesting Site Plan Review to construct 2,020 square feet
of residential addition to the east side of the existing 3,552 square foot residence
for a total of 5,572 square feet. The property is also developed with an 858 square
foot attached garage, 800 square foot swimming pool and 488 square foot stable.
4. The existing residence and the garage were constructed in 1957. The pool
was also constructed in 1957. A 488 square foot stable was constructed in 1968.
ZC no. 627

Printed on Recycled Paper.
• •
5. The property is considered a flag lot and is accessed from Palos Verdes
Drive North. The driveway to the property is approximately 370 feet long.
6. The driveway is paved and has a 20% slope, which will remain. The stable
is accessed through an existing driveway with a 5% slope.
7. Grading for the project will include 21 cubic yards of cut soil from the
construction of the 2,020 square foot addition, and will be balanced on the
property.
8. The structural lot coverage proposed is 7,814 square feet or 7.7% of the net
lot area, (20% permitted); the total lot coverage proposed, including structures and
paved areas, is 20,142 square feet or 19.8%, (35% permitted).
9. The 48,580 square feet essentially flat residential building pads, (3 pads),
will have coverage of 7,814 square feet or 16.1%. The Planning Commission's
guideline is 30% maximum. (There are no existing or proposed structures on the
third pad).
10. The disturbed area of the lot will be 38,820 square feet or 32%. [40%
maximum permitted; any graded building pad area, any remedial grading
(temporary disturbance), any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any non -
graded area where impervious surfaces exist].
11. The City of Rolling Hills Estates expressed concern about the traffic on
Palos Verdes Drive North and what effect the delivery of building supplies will
have on traffic. They requested, letter attached, that a condition be added to the
conditions of approval for this case, which would restrict deliveries of construction
materials to off-peak hours. Staff has incorporated this condition.
12. 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. 2001-06,
a request for Site Plan Review for the construction of an addition at 2724 Palos

RESOLUTION NO. 2001-06
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO
CONSTRUCT SUBSTANTIAL ADDITION TO AN EXISTING SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 2724 PALOS VERDES DRIVE NORTH IN
ZONING CASE NO. 627.
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. Gabor Korody with respect to
real property located at 2724 Palos Verdes Drive North (Lot 990-RH), Rolling Hills,
requesting Site Plan Review to permit the construction of a substantial addition to an
existing single family residence for total of 5,572 square feet.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
to consider the application on January 16, 2001, February 20, 2001 and at a field trip visit
on February 3, 2001. The applicant was 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 applicant was in attendance at the
hearings.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class
1 Exemption (State CA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. 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, 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 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 102,140 square feet. The proposed residence (5,572 sq.ft.), garage (858 sq.ft.),
swimming pool (800 sq.ft.), service area (96 sq.ft.) and stable (488 sq.ft) will have 7,814
square feet which constitutes 7.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20%
structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and
driveway will be 20,142 square feet which equals 19.8% of the lot, which is within the
35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is screened from
the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The residential building
RESOLUTION NO. 2001-06

• •
pad coverage will not exceed 19.3%, the stable pad will not exceed 24.4%, and total
building pad coverage will not exceed 16.1% of the 48,580 square feet pads.
B. The proposed development 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). The lot is relatively flat and most of the mature
trees will not be removed.
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 will not be exceeded and the proposed.
project is consistent with the scale of residences in the neighborhood when compared to
the large size of this irregular -shaped lot. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot
coverage is similar to the ratio found on other properties in the City.
D. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading. This project requires small amount of grading, not to exceed 21 cubic yards,
which will be balanced on site.
E. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves several mature trees and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
F. The development plan incorporates grading that will not modify existing
drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an
existing drainage course.
G. 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 structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The
proposed addition will not be visible from the right of way, as this is a flag lot with a 70-
foot long driveway of off Palos Verdes Drive North. Significant portions of the lot will
be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the property.
H. 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 existing driveways at the northwestern portion of the property.
I. 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. 627 for proposed
residential addition as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as
Exhibit A, dated January 11, 2001, and is subject to the following conditions:
