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. and Mrs. Ben Kazarian, Jr. with respect to real property located at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 101-RH) requesting Site Plan Review for a stable addition and the future construction of a new barn. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for Site Plan Review on November 17, 1992 and December 15, 1992, and at a field trip on November 21, 1992. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 3 exemption provided by Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 4. 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 percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. Section 5. 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 proposed development complies with the General Plan requirement of encouraging stables, barns, and horsekeeping. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 315,560 square feet. The residence (4,130 sq.ft.), garage (552 sq.ft.), swimming pool and spa (1,763 sq.ft.), guest house (2,363 sq.ft.), and proposed stable (435.75 sq.ft.), will have 9,243.75 square feet which constitutes 2.92% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The future barn, which is proposed to replace the stable, will have 3,528 square feet which constitutes 3.9% of the lot which is within the maximum 20%, structural lot coverage. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be • • RESOLUTION NO. 93-2 PAGE 2 31,435.75 square feet for the stable addition and 38,220 square feet for the future barn. The percentages of total lot coverage for the proposed stable phase equals 10% of the lot and for the future barn phase equals 12.1%, each of which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed additions located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development and is similar and compatible with several neighboring developments. 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) and grading will be minimal to minimize building coverage on the building pad itself. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the rear of this lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and supplements it with landscaping that is compatible withand enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Significant portions of the lot, will be left undeveloped so as to minimize the impact of development. F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences because as indicated in Paragraph A, lot coverage maximums will not be exceeded and the proposed project is of consistent scale with the neighborhood, thereby grading will be required only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the existing vehicular access, thereby having no further impact on the roadway. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. • • RESOLUTION NO. 93-2 PAGE 3 Section 6.
