A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR
GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW RESIDENCE AND A
SWIMMING POOL AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE AND CORRAL, TENNIS COURT, AND
GUESTHOUSE IN ZONING CASE NO. 914, 11 UPPER BLACKWATER
CANYON ROAD, (LOT 99-B-RH), (AUTHOR HOME LLC/CHOWDHURY).
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 Subir Chowdhury with respect to real
property located at 11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 99-B-RH) requesting
a site plan review for overall grading of 43,220 cubic yards and construction of 11,052 square
foot residence with a 1,446 square foot garage, 2,675 square feet of covered porches, including
154 square foot Porte Cochere, 6,620 square foot basement, 1,336 square foot swimming pool
and spa, 115 square feet service yard, and exterior features including a water feature, barbeque
and fire pits. Approximately 1,542 cubic yards of dirt will be will be exported from the
basement and foundations. A Conditional Use Permit is requested for the construction of a 744
square foot two-story stable, which includes 240 square foot loft and 1,491 square foot corral,
an 800 square foot guest house and 6,985 square foot tennis court.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to
consider the application at their regular meetings on January 17, 2017, February 21, 2017, and
March 21, 2017 and in the field on February 21, 2017. Neighbors within 1,000-foot radius were
notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in the Peninsula News on December
8, 2016. The applicant and his agent were notified of the public hearings in writing by first
class mail and the agent was in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented
from all persons interested in affecting said proposal, including neighbors at 6 and 9 Upper
Blackwater Canyon Road, 1 Sagebrush Lane and residents of two properties on Middleridge
Lane South, and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission have reviewed,
analyzed and studied said proposal.
Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and the lot area excluding the roadway
easement is 9.2 acres. For development purposes the net lot area of the lot is 373,484 square
feet or 8.57 acres. Records show that 3,200 square foot house with 500 square foot garage was
constructed in 1951; the swimming pool, cabana and the stable were constructed in 1957. All of
the existing structures are proposed to be demolished.
Section 4. During the course of the review, local residents expressed concerns
regarding the location of the proposed stable, screening for the stable, guesthouse and tennis
court elements, noise generated by the tennis court, and the drainage plan and intended
drainage course for the proposed project.
11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Rd. 1
Addressing these concerns and suggestions, the applicant revise T the project multiple times in
an effort to "be a good neighbor". At the February 21, 2017 evening Planning Commission
meeting, the Commission requested that the following special considerations be included in
the preparation of the Resolution of approval:
• Enhanced drainage plan - Drainage plan revisions include added catch basins in
multiple locations, a secondary outfall, and rain cisterns to handle a 100 year flood
calculation.
• Changed location of the proposed stable - The stable was moved a total of 115' west
from the originally submitted plans.
• Enhanced landscape plan as noise reduction and screening measures - Landscaping
was added to the entire lot, not just at the main pad. Natural planting is proposed in the
vicinity of the tennis court and along the garage to screen them from view. Trees were
added to screen the stable and corral and guesthouse.
• A rubberized surface for the tennis court will be used as noise reduction measure.
• The daylighted basement will have access through a stairwell and will be screened by
terraced planters. No wall greater than 4 feet shall be exposed in any location.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3
Exemption, and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 6. Site Plan Review -Proposed Development. Section 17.46.030 requires a
development plan to be ' submitted for Site Plan Review and approval before any grading
requiring grading permit or any new 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 not more than 999
square feet in any thirty-six (36) month period. The grading for the development and the new
structures require Site Plan Review. The pool/spa requires a Site Plan Review due to the
grading and the size (over 800 sq. ft. surface water area).
With respect to the Site Plan for the development, the Planning Commission hereby
approves the request for Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No. 914 to build the proposed
project and makes the following findings:
A. The proposed development, which includes the residence, garage, basement,
stable, guest house, tennis court, and pool, 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 and maintaining sufficient setbacks to provide buffers
between residential uses. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback requirements and no
variances are required for setbacks. The proposed project is screened from the road so as to
reduce the visual impact of the development.
The project conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements, including lot disturbance.
The net lot area of the lot is 373,484 square feet. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at
27,277 square feet or 6.8%, which includes all of the structures, with allowance for permitted
11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Rd.. 2
deductions, (20% max. pelktted); and the total lot coverage proo.,osed, including the driveway
would be 37,337 square feet or 10.0%, (35% max. permitted). The disturbed area of the lot is
proposed to be 35.74%.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot
by minimizing building coverage. The topography and the configuration of the lot, has been
considered, and it was determined that the proposed development will not adversely affect or
be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed
construction will be constructed largely on existing building pads, and anticipated grading
will enable proposed project elements to be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, be
screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that it 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. The lot is over 9 acres in size and no more than 35.74% is
proposed to be disturbed, with the remaining of the lot left in natural state. The project
promotes equestrian uses, therefore furthering the City's goal to remain an equestrian
community.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site, and is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to new
residences in the vicinity of said lot. The development plan takes into consideration the views
from Sagebrush Lane, Middleridge Lane South and Appaloosa Lane and the residential
development pad will be sunk by approximately 2 feet, which will help preserve views toward
the city. The slopes are being preserved or rebuilt in a manner that attempts to mimic the
existing slopes on the property.
Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The project will be screened from the
road and neighbors. During the review process, at suggestions from the Planning Commission
and addressing the neighbors' concerns, the applicant is developing the property in general to
retain as much of the natural terrain as possible and not greatly affect the lower portion of the
lot.
D. The development plan will introduce additional landscaping, which is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and the landscaping will
provide a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience
and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the project will utilize the
proposed driveway as recommended for approval by the City of Rolling Hills Traffic
Commission. There is ample parking in the garages and there is a proposed parking pad at the
front of the house, outside of all setbacks, so all visitor parking will be contained on site. An
adequate pathway is proposed to safely accommodate horse trailers to the stable and corral
area.
F. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act.

Section 7. Conditional Use Permits. Sections 17.18.060- and 17.18.090 of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a stable over 200 square feet and corral over 550
square feet with a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed 744 square foot stable including 240
square foot loft and 1,491 square foot corral comply with all requirements of these sections. An
800 square foot guesthouse is proposed. Section 17.16.210 (A)(5) of the Zoning Ordinance
contains conditions for a guesthouse, subject to approval of a conditional use permit. A 6,985
square foot tennis court is also proposed. Section, 17.16.210(A)(7) of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code allows for the construction of a sports court with certain conditions provided the
Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit for such use. All of the detached
structures comply with the provisions and conditions for such structures. With respect to this
request for Conditional Use Permits, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code. The City Council must consider applications for a Conditional Use Permit
and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional use which will
not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or to 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 stable, corral, tennis court, and
guesthouse would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and
General Plan because the uses are consistent with similar uses in the community, and meet all
the applicable code development standards for such uses and they are located in the areas on
the property that are adequately sized to accommodate such uses. The proposed uses are
appropriately located in that they will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used
for habitation or containing sleeping quarters. The stable/corral would be constructed in
furtherance of the General Plan goal of promoting and encouraging equestrian uses and the
rural, equestrian character of Rolling Hills. The tennis court is proposed to be located on the
property so that it will be slightly recessed into the hillside and will be screened with shrubs
and trees. The proposed guesthouse is a common amenity to Rolling Hills.
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 uses (stable/corral, tennis court,
and guesthouse) are located in the middle of a 9.2 acre lot and their general location is of
sufficient distance from nearby residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors. The proposed tennis court and guesthouse will be constructed on a
portion of the secondary building pad that will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties
and will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs and 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. The proposed stable is
to be located adjacent to the corral. There is a path designated for equestrian uses that runs
from the stable to the motor court, driveway and road above and is separate from the other
outdoor living areas on the property. The 12 foot wide path will be comprised of decomposed
granite.
11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Rd. 4
D. The project harmonious in scale and mass with tne site, the natural terrain, and
surrounding residences because the proposed uses comply with the low profile residential
development pattern of the community and will not give the property an over -built look, and
areas will remain open and unobstructed. The lot is 9.2 acres gross in size and is sufficiently
large to accommodate the proposed uses.
The stable will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because Rolling Hills is an
equestrian community and stables are encouraged. The stable will look like a stable and with
the corral will promote open space on the pad.
The guesthouse will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because it will match
the architectural design of the house and is in the side yard and is an amenity other residences
in Rolling Hills enjoy.
E. The proposed conditional uses comply with all applicable development
standards of the zone district and require Conditional Use Permits pursuant to Sections
17.18.060, 17.18.090, 17.16.210(A)(5) and (A)(7) of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The proposed conditional uses are 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 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the
City Council hereby approves Zoning Case No. 914 request for a Site Plan Review for the
construction of a new 11,052 square foot residence and 6,620 square foot basement, an attached
garage totaling 1,446 square feet, 2,870 square feet of covered porches including for the
residence and 195 square feet of porches for the guesthouse, a new pool and spa totaling 1,336
