RESOLUTION NO. 2014-01
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR GRADING AND
CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE WITH CORRAL AND GRANTING A
VARIANCE TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBANCE
OF THE LOT IN ZONING CASE NO. 848 AT 9 CHUCKWAGON ROAD,
(LOT 3-CRB), (COOLEY). THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO
BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. Steve Cooley with respect to
real property located at 9 Chuckwagon Road (Lot 3-CRB), Rolling Hills, CA requesting a
Conditional Use Permit to construct a 1,296 square foot stable with 792 square foot loft to
be used as a tack room and 1,000 square foot corral; a Site Plan Review for grading of
total of 1,500 cubic yards of dirt and a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted
disturbance of the lot.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on November 19, 2013 and December 17, 2013 and at a field
trip visit on December 17, 2013. The applicants and neighbors 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' representatives and a couple of neighbors were in attendance at the hearings.
The neighbor at 7 Chuckwagon spoke in opposition to the project.
Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and consists of 1.33 acres gross in area.
The net lot area for construction purposes, as measured by the City, is 45,550 square feet
or 1.04 acres. The lot is narrow and long. The property is currently developed with a
2,350 square foot new residence with 622 square foot garage.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as Class 3
exemption from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Section 17.18 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval
of a stable over 200 square feet and a corral over 550 square feet, provided the Planning
Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. With respect to this request for a
Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
Reso. 2014-01
9 Chuckwagon
1
• •
A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code. The Commission must consider applications for conditional use
permit and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional
use which will not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or otherwise constitute a
menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be materially detrimental to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of the stable
and corral would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan because the use is consistent with similar uses in the
community, meets all the applicable code development standards for a stable and corral,
and the area is located in an area on the property that is adequately sized to
accommodate the stable and adjoining corral. The proposed structure is appropriately
located in that it will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used for habitation
or containing sleeping quarters.
C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been
considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed stable and corral orientation
is not towards neighbors and its general location is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. The
proposed stable and corral are to be located largely on an already graded area, therefore
preserving the natural terrain of the remaining of the property.
D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the stable complies with the low profile
residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property an
over -built look, and the corral area will remain open and unobstructed. The lot is 1.04
acres net in size and is sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed structure.
E. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district and requires a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section
17.18 of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting criteria for
hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of
California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
Section 6. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Code permit approval of
a variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when, due to
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable
to other similar properties in the same zone, strict application of the Code would deny
the property owner substantial property rights enjoyed by other properties in the same
vicinity and zone. A Variance to Section 17.16.070 (B) is required because it states that
the lot disturbance shall be limited to 40.0% of the net lot area. The applicant seeks a
Reso. 2014-01 2

• •
variance from this requirement because the proposed disturbance will be 50.0%. With
respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to this property that do not apply generally to the other properties in the same
zone. The property is unique in that a portion of the rear pad was created in the past but
not constructed upon. The lot is narrow having 134 feet frontage along Chuckwagon
Road and tapering to 90 feet in the rear. The house is located in the front and the only
area to place a stable and corral is in the rear and below the residence together with the
access road, and therefore grading is required. The additional disturbance is minimal and
is to create a use that is strongly encouraged in the City and access thereto from the street.
B. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone,
but which would be denied to the property in question absent a variance. Many of the
homes in the area are developed with stables and other accessory uses, and the area
proposed for grading, a portion of which is already relatively flat, is conducive to such
development, as there is no other area on the lot where a stable may be located with less
grading and disturbance.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in
which the property is located. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as
to maintain open space on the property. The additional graded area is on a portion of the
lot which is not intrusive to surrounding properties, and will be screened and landscaped
with trees and shrubs from nearby residences and from the street so that the graded
condition will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit
the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of
surrounding property owners.
D. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance will
be observed. The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to regulate development in an
orderly fashion and in a manner consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
Approval of the variance will not impede any goals of the Zoning Ordinance or the
General Plan. Rather, the variance will allow the property owner to enjoy the same rights
and privileges afforded to other property owners in the. vicinity. The overage requested is
not substantial and does not undermine the spirit or intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
E. The variance does not grant special privileges to the applicant. To the
contrary, absent a variance, the property owner would be deprived of the same rights and
privileges afforded to other property owners in the vicinity where the lots have been
previously graded and which exceed the maximum permitted disturbance. Unique
circumstances applicable to the subject property make it infeasible for the property owner
to comply with Section 17.16.070.
Reso. 2014-01

• •
F. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities.
Section 7. 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. With respect to the Site Plan Review
application for the grading for access to the stable and corral, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning
Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed project complies with the General
Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient
open space between surrounding structures. The development conforms to Zoning Code
setbacks and lot coverage requirements, except for the disturbed area. The proposed
project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development.
Although the disturbed are will exceed the maximum permitted, it is required for the
stable, which is a requirement of the City that every lot be developed with a stable and
corral or an area set aside for a future stable and corral be provided. The area selected for
construction of the stable and corral is an area previously set aside for a future stable and
corral.
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. The applicant is utilizing an area of the lot that was
partially graded previously. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as
to maintain open space on the property. The structure will be screened. The nature,
condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the
topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction 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 least intrusive to
surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is of
sufficient distance from nearby residences and will substantially utilize the existing
relatively flat area for the new construction.
C. The proposed activity is compatible with the General Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes the maintenance of
strict grading practices to preserve the community's natural terrain. The Building Code
and the Zoning Ordinance require a balanced cut and fill ratio and do not permit import
or export of soil, except under special circumstances applicable to a property and with a
discretionary permission by the Planning Commission. The project conforms to the
grading requirements and Zoning Code setbacks.
D. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
Reso. 2014-01
9 Chuckwagon
4
• •
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. 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 and will substantially utilize the existing
relatively flat area for the new construction.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed
development will utilize a narrow, new driveway approach that will not be entirely
paved.
F. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings in Section 5, 6 and 7, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 848 a Conditional Use Permit for a stable
with a loft and corral, a Site Plan for grading and a Variance to exceed the maximum
permitted disturbance of the lot, subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan and Variance approvals shall expire
within two years from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.070
17.46.080 and 17.42.070, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of these
sections.
B. It is declared and made a condition of this 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, 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 of the City of Rolling Hills, including specifically Chapter 17.18 of the Zoning
Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied
with unless otherwise set forth in this permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan.
D. The loft area of the structure may be used as a tack room, pursuant to
Section 17.18.060 of the Zoning Ordinance, but may not exceed 792 square feet. Only one
bathroom is permitted in a stable structure.
E. The stable uses and interior and exterior design are subject to the
requirements of Section 17.18.060 of the Zoning Ordinance. The surface of the corral,
paddock and areas adjacent to the agricultural portion of the stable shall remain
permeable at all times, and may not be paved.

Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the project require a
Variance.
The proposed project consists of a stable and corral addition to the previously developed property. The
stable will have a 1,296 S.F. lower floor with an additional 792 S.F. tack room as a second story. There
will be a 1,000 S.F. corral attached to the horse stall portion of the stable. A concrete patio is also
proposed for the area adjacent to the upper level tack room which horses cannot get to. Three
retaining walls are also proposed, one 5' wall along the southern side yard setback line which lines the
road, a 3' wall along the south eastern portion of the driveway and a 2' max wall along the upper tack
room patio. A retaining wall will also be used for the back wall of the stable and will have a max height
of 10', which may also require a variance. The variance is required for going over the allowed 40%
disturbed area. The proposed area is 50% and therefore needing a variance. The building pad
guideline is not met either but is very close at 31.09% coverage. Wall heights will be less than 2.5'
average and therefore not require a variance.

•
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 exceptional condition which doesn't usually apply to other properties is that the majority
of the property is a 3:1 slope and in order to create a pad for a stable it is almost impossible
not to go over the disturbed area limit. Being that the site is so steep we have decided to
regrade the area with a 2:1 slope and go over the disturbed area limit as opposed to putting
in walls on the lower side of the hill. Our thought was that it would be more desirable and
aesthetically pleasing to have a slope which can be planted on instead of looking up at a wall
from Lower Willow Springs Trail. Additionally this is the only portion of the project requiring a
variance. The average wall height will be less than 2.5' and we have no walls above the 5'
maximum limit. The building pad coverage is 31.09% which is over the 30% guideline but
that is only a guideline. Our proposed disturbed area is 50% and the existing is 33.96%. It
would not be feasible to recreate the slope with the new allowed 3:1 slope as that is what the
current slope of the hill is and we could not "catch" the slope with where the new pad is placed.
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 because
The change would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property of improvements in the surrounding vicinity due to the proper building codes being
followed for the building of the structures. Additionally, the stable is greatly setback from the
roadway so there will be no hazards to those driving on Chuckwagon Road. Additionally, the
proposed driveway is an extension of the existing driveway and there have been no problems
with said driveway to date. Said stable and grading are also out of the LA County and RHCA
easements so no changes will be made to existing trails or access.

NATURE OF PROPOSED PROTECT
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what aspects of the project require a Site Plan
Review:
The proposed project consists of a stable and corral addition to the previously developed property. The
stable will have a 1,296 S.F. lower floor with an additional 792 S.F. tack room as a second story. The
lower story consists of four horse stalls, 2 with an area of 144 S.F. each and 2 with an area of 156 S.F.
each for a total of 600 S.F. of horse stalls. In the same area as the horse stalls there are also
2 small feed rooms. A 456 S.F. equipment/feed storage area is in the lower level as well. The
upper level of the stable will be a 792 S.F. tack room with a sink, bathroom and shower. There will be a
1,000 S.F. corral attached to the horse stall portion of the stable. A concrete patio is also proposed for
the area adjacent to the upper level tack room which horses cannot9et to. Three retaining walls are
also proposed, one 5' wall along the southern side yard setback line which lines the road, a 3' wail
along the south eastern portion of the driveway and a 2' max wall along the upper tack room patio. A
retaining wall will also be used for the back wall of the stable and will have a max height of 10'.
The planning requirements are all met other than the disturbed area is 50% and therefore needing a
variance. The building pad guideline is not met1&ther but is very close at 31.09% coverage.
Describe and delineate on plans any new basement area square footage
SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA
N.A.
Site plan review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding. Describe
in detail the project's conformance with the criteria below:
A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it
compares to the sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses.
The project is compatible with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance in that it provides a
stable, which is encouraged in Rolling Hills. The property is on a majority sloping lot which
greatly increases the disturbed area when any new work is proposed. The setbacks are similar
to surrounding houses and the stable is also set the required 25' away from property lines.
B. How 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 existing topography was greatly used for this design in that the existing flat area where a
pad was previously created located and was used as the main pad for the stable. By utilizing the
existing flat area the additional disturbed area was minimized. The existing slope to
the east of the stable needs to be filled though in order to create a corral area.
C. How 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 redirect drainage flow
unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed
minimization on lots.
The natural contours are followed as much as possible for this design to minimize grading.
The maioritv of the grading is the creation of the flat corral area with fill provided by the cut
required for the barn. Drainage will be redirected around the building and return to natural conditions by
the time it leaves the property. Retaining walls were used in order to minimize the
overall disturbed area and slopes were rounded to blend with the existing contours and slopes.
D. To what extent 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.
-13-
•
The site development plan preserved the surrounding natural vegetation by minimizing the
amount of disturbed area. The area which is disturbed will be replanted with vegetation
which matches surrounding areas.
E. How does the site development plan 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.
The site development plan preserves the surrounding natural vegetation by minimizing the
building coverage by having a slope to the corral area and using a retaining wall to
differentiate the pads. The stable fits nicely on the pad and only goes over the building pad
guideline by 1.09%. The portions of the slope being disturbed will be regraded to 2:1 which
will also be planted.
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.
The site development is harmonious in scale and mass with the site. The disturbed area
calculation is 10% over the allowed however due to the nature of the existing conditions on
the site it would be very hard to put a stable anywhere on the property without going over
this condition. The structural and flat -work coverage are also under the maximum value even
with the new addition.
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, landscaping and
other on -site parking or storage areas.
The Site Plan is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for
pedestrians and vehicles as it is set back from the roadway and the access road has an 11'
driveway connecting to it which is larger than the required 6'. The driveway down to the stable
from the house will have a max slope of 25% and will allow for access from feed trucks and for
equipment storage. A portion of this driveway is already built from previous construction and
has posed no risks in the time it has been in use.
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.
The Site Plan is sensitive conforms with the requirements of C.E.Q.A and will not have any
significant impacts to the environment.

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of the CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS ("City") and by private deed restrictions enforced by the ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATION ("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are completely independent and
separate. Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property
in Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean or imply or ensure approval
by the other.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has been fully read and its
admonition is completely understood.

accepted.
The surrounding properties are single family residences as well. In addition
to the residence the property to the North has a pool and tennis court, both
of which appear to be in the setback; while the property to the South has a
corral. Both properties have a large rear yard consisting mostly of a 3:1
slope descending towards the rear property line, with little to no
landscaping. There is no information on the plans or animals in the area.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors
as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based
on a project -specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site,
cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3. Once the Lead Agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,
or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence
that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when
the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The Lead Agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVII, "Earlier Analyses," above may be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. See State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a. Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b. the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.
