A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROPERTIES AT 5 SAGEBRUSH LANE, 6 SAGEBRUSH LANE AND 3 APPALOOSA LANE IN ZONING CASE NO. 696, (HAO). BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005-02, which is attached, on January 18, 2005 at their regular meeting granting a request for a lot line adjustment between three parcels. The vote was 5-0. 2. The applicant requests adjustment of lot lines between the vacant lot, known as 6 Sagebrush Lane and 5 Sagebrush Lane (shown as parcel Nos. 1 and 2 on the plot plan); and between 5 Sagebrush Lane and 3 Appaloosa Lane (shown as parcel Nos. 2 and 3 on the plot plan). No new lots are being created and no new development on any of the lots is currently being proposed. 3. The area of existing Parcel 1 (vacant lot - 6 Sagebrush Lane) is 2.43 acres gross, (105,898.8 sq.ft.), and 2.14 acres net (93,176.8 sq.ft.). The area of Parcel 2 (5 Sagebrush Lane) is 2.50 acres gross, (108,882 sq.ft.), and 2.09 acres net (90,809.4 sq.ft.). The area of Parcel 3 (3 Appaloosa Lane) is 9.20 acres gross (400,693.7 sq.ft.) and 8.20 acres net (357,428 sq.ft.). 4. As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, 4,638.5 square feet of land will be transferred from 6 Sagebrush Lane (Parcel 1-vacant lot) to 5 Sagebrush Lane (Parcel 2); 12,465 square feet of land will be transferred from 5 Sagebrush Lane (Parcel 2) to 6 ®r'nn?e,I,r.r1 • • Sagebrush Lane (Parcel 1-vacant lot); and 6,221.7 square feet of land will be transferred from 3 Appaloosa Lane (Parcel 3) to 5 Sagebrush Lane (Parcel 2).

Fozoonmehr (Development pending) 3 Appaloosa Lane PARCEL 3 Gross Lot Area 400,693 sq.ft, 9.2 acres Net Lot Area 357,428 sq.ft, 8.2 acres Fozoonmehr (Development pending) 3 Appaloosa Lane PARCEL 3 Gross Lot Area 394,472 sq.ft, 9.06 acres Net Lot Area 350,817 sq.ft, 8.05 acres Each of the lots is located within the RA-S-2 Zone and will be in compliance with the size requirements of such zone. 5. 5 Sagebrush Lane is developed with a single family residence and garage. A previously existing swimming pool has been reconstructed. The other two lots are vacant. A single family development was approved a year ago at 3 Appaloosa Lane and is under review by the Los Angeles County Soils and Geology Department. 6. As configured, no buildings on 5 Sagebrush Lane or the proposed development at 3 Appaloosa Lane are located in the area proposed for adjustment, nor will any structures be removed for the purpose of meeting the requirements for lot line adjustment. With the reduction in area at 3 Appaloosa Lane, the proposed development will meet all of the City's development standard and guidelines. 7. Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission may not impose conditions or exactions on its approval of a lot line adjustment except to conform to local zoning and building ordinances. Section 17.16.060 of the Zoning Ordinance describe required lot area and dimensions. Referring to Section 17.16.060(A)(2) Lot Size: Each of the three proposed lots will remain greater than the minimum acreage required in the RA-S-2 Zone. Referring to Section 17.16.060(B) Widths and depths of lots. Each proposed parcel is irregular in shape. Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 abut a "double" private road (not deeded or maintained by the Rolling Hills Community Association). The abutting footage along the Appaloosa Lane easement line of Parcel 3 is over 560 feet. Although 5 Sagebrush Lane lot will be reduced in size each of the resulting parcels will exceed the minimum required dimensions of 2 acres net. 8. The resulting Parcel 2, which will be reduced in net area by 3,146 square feet, is developed with a 7,860 sq.ft. residence, 900 sq.ft. garage, 850 sq.ft. pool, 96 sq.ft. service yard and 450 sq.ft. future stable and will have a structural lot coverage of 10,175 square feet or 11.6% which is within the 20% maximum permitted, (currently 11.2%). The total lot coverage will be 16,796 square feet or 19.1%, which is within the 35% maximum permitted, (currently 18.6%). 9. The existing easements will be relocated to correspond to the new lot lines. The Rolling Hills Community Association approved the lot line adjustments. 10. The Si s trail passes through all three parcels. The trail is located in the easements and no negative effect on the trail will result from the adjustments of the lot lines. A small portion of the trail is currently located outside the easement on 5 Sagebrush Lane. Although this area is not being considered for adjustment and will not be affected by this project, the applicant is working with the Community Association's legal counsel to widen the easement to incorporate the trail into the easement. In addition, a small portion of the trail is currently located outside the easement on the 3 Appaloosa Lane lot. The lot line adjustment will place this portion of the trail in the new easement. 11. The Los Angeles County Land Development Division, under a contract with the City, will review the legal descriptions of the newly configured lots, and the Association's Attorney is preparing legal descriptions for the new easements within those lots. Once the lot line adjustment is approved and the legal descriptions for the adjusted lots verified, staff will prepare the appropriate documents for recordation of the newly configured lots. 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 the staff report or provide other direction to staff. • • RESOLUTION NO. 2005-02 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROPERTIES AT 5 SAGEBRUSH LANE, 6 SAGEBRUSH LANE AND 3 APPALOOSA LANE IN ZONING CASE NO. 696, (HAO). 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. James Hao with respect to real property located at 5 Sagebrush Lane (Lot 100-3-RH) requesting a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move the common side lot lines dividing Lot 100-3-RH (5 Sagebrush Lane) and Lot 100-4-RH (6 Sagebrush Lane), where a portion of northerly Lot 100-3-RH will be transferred to Lot 100-4-RH and a portion of southerly Lot 100-4-RH will be transferred to Lot 100-3-RH, and to move a common rear property lines between Lot 100-3-RH (5 Sagebrush Lane) and Lot 246-MS, (3 Appaloosa Lane) so that a quadrangular portion of existing Lot 246-MS is placed into the southwest portion of Lot 100-3-RH. Section 2. California Government Code Subsection 66412(d) authorizes lot line adjustments without requiring a tentative map, parcel map or final map if: (A) The lot line adjustment involves two or more existing adjacent parcels, where land is proposed to be taken from one parcel and added to an adjacent parcel; (B) A greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created; (C) The lot line adjustment will create parcels that conform to local zoning and building ordinances; and (D) The lot line adjustment is approved by the City. The City may impose conditions on the Lot Line Adjustment in order to make the lot conform to local zoning and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the Lot Line Adjustment or to facilitate the relocation of existing infrastructure or easements. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application at a regular meeting on November 16, 2004, December 21, 2004 and at a field trip visit on December 4, 2004. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 5 exemption provided by Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, presented in connection with this application and finds as follows: A. Section 16.16.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(A) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RA-S-2 Zone shall have a net area of not less than eighty-seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). The proposed lot line adjustment RESOLUTION NO. 2005-02 LLAdj. • • will result in Lot 100-3-RH being 2.01 net acres, Lot 100-4-RH being 2.29 net acres and Lot 246-MS being 8.05 net acres, exclusive of: (a) any and all perimeter easements measured to a minimum lineal distance of ten feet perpendicular to the property lines; (b) any portion of the lot or parcel of land used for roadway purposes; and (c) any private drive or driveway which provides access to any other lot or parcel of land. B. Section 16.16.020 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(B)(3) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance require that in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles or radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. Due to the location of the "double" private street, Sagebrush lane, which crosses Lots 100-3-RH and 100-4-RH and culminates in a cul-de- sac on both properties, the resulting 2 lots off of Sagebrush Lane will not meet this condition. However, this is a pre-existing condition and the proposed lot line adjustment does not affect the angle of the sideline to the street on these two parcels. The lot line adjustment of 3 Appaloosa Lane property does not affect the angle of the sideline to the street. C. Section 16.20.230 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that easements, the width of which are to be determined by the Rolling Hills Community Association, be dedicated for bridle trail and utility purposes over the strips and portions of land within and abutting upon the sidelines and rear lines of each lot. The proposed adjustment provides for 25-foot easements, or as otherwise approved by the Association, on each side of the adjusted lot lines and equestrian trails within the easements, and will be recorded concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment. D. Chapter 16.48 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance provides procedures for processing of certificates of compliance, which is a document that acknowledges that the subject parcel is considered by the City to be a legal lot of record. The applicant is required to process a certificate of compliance to determine if the lot is legal and if the City would deem the lot buildable. The City contracts with the Department of Regional Planning of Los Angeles County to process such requests and to verify buildability. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a certificate of compliance determining that Lot 100-4-RH, (6 Sagebrush Lane), is a legal lot of record and that it is a buildable lot is issued by the City. E. Conditions have been attached to this approval which provide that it will not impair or limit the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance to any future development of Lot 100-3-RH, Lot 100-4-RH and 246-MS. Section 6. In accordance with the foregoing findings, a Conditional Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment sought in Zoning Case No 696 as indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: A. The Lot Line Adjustment approval shall expire within two years from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.070, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of this section. RESOLUTION NO. 2005-02 LLAdj. • • B. There shall be twenty-five (25) foot easements on each side of the adjusted lot lines within the adjusted boundaries of the lots, or as otherwise required by the Rolling Hills Community Association. The map attached to the Conditional Certificate of Compliance, referred hereto as Exhibit "A" shall delineate and note the easements and trails specified in this paragraph. C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any way constitute any representation that the adjusted lots can be developed in compliance with current zoning and building ordinance standards. No development shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. D. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance (Ordinance No 221, 1988) to Lot 100-3- RH, 100-4-RH and 246-MS at such time as an application is made for development. E. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment, and including the required easements and trails as specified in Paragraph C of Section 5 and Paragraph A of Section 6 are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval of the legal descriptions of the new adjusted lines, trails and easements, a Certificate of Compliance shall be issued by the City, shall be recorded by the property owner in the offices of the Los Angeles County Recorder, and evidence of the recordation shall be returned to the City. F. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a Certificate of Compliance determining that Lot 100-4-RH, (6 Sagebrush Lane), is a legal lot of record and that it is a buildable lot, as specified in Paragraph D of Section 5, is submitted to the City. Upon the City's approval of the lot, a Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment shall be issued by the City, shall be recorded by the property owner in the offices of the Los Angeles County Recorder, and evidence of the recordation shall be returned to the City. G. The applicant shall record the deeds of the properties effectuating the transfer concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for the Lot Line Adjustment and shall submit proof of such recordation to the City of Rolling Hills. H. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Resolution or the Lot Line Adjustment shall not be effective.
