REVIEW APPROVAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 427
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 Dr. Lee Secrist
with respect to real property located at 9 Upper Blackwater Canyon
Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 98-1-RH) requesting site plan review
approval for proposed residential additions and construction of a new
attached garage.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the application on May 15, 1990 and June
19, 1990; and conducted a field site review on June 2, 1990.
Section 3. Section 17.34.010 requires a development plan to
be submitted for site plan review and approval before 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
more than twenty-five (25%) percent in any thirty-six (36) month
period.
fact:
Section 4. The Commission makes the following findings of
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 square foot
area of 100,624 square feet. The proposed residential
structure, garage, swimming pool, future stable, and
service yard will have 6,150 square feet which constitutes
6.1 % of the lot, which is within the maximum 20%
structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot
coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 14,148
square feet which equals 14.1% of the lot, which is within
the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The
proposed project is similar and compatible with neighboring
development patterns.
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)
because the proposed development will require no
substantial grading and impact to existing vegetation will
be minimal.
• •
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the
site to minimize grading because all drainage flow from the
site will be channeled into existing drainage courses to
the canyon.
D. The development plan preserves surrounding native
vegetation on the site and supplements it with landscaping
that is compatible with and enhances the rural character
of the community.
E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural
and undeveloped state of the lot be minimizing building
coverage because the construction will not exceed the
building pad coverage policy of 40% because this project
will occupy only 31 percent of the existing building pad.
F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences because as indicated in paragraphs A and E, the
project will have structural lot and buildingpad coverages
that are substantially less than permitted.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not
detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for
pedestrians and vehicles because the project will have the
required setbacks from the roadway and easements, and the
present driveway access to the site will be unchanged.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically
exempt from environmental review.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing findings, the Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for a proposed
residential project to the property located at 9 Upper Blackwater
Canyon, as indicated on the development plan attached hereto as
"Exhibit A" and subject to the following conditions:
A. Any modifications to the project which would constitute
a modification to the Development Plan as approved by the
Planning Commission, shall require the filing of an
application for modification of the Development Plan
pursuant to Section 17.34.070 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code.
