COMPUTATION OF LOT COVERAGE AND DISTURBANCE
LOT COVERAGE (STRUCTURAL AND TOTAL)
Main buildings, accessory buildings, structures including, but not limited to gazebos,
porches, entryways, porte cochere, trellises and similar structures, tennis courts, swimming
pools, spa, pool equipment, outdoor bar, barbecue, sheds, shelters, service yards (enclosed
or unenclosed), stables, or an area of not less than 450 square feet for the construction of a
stable shall not cover more than twenty percent (20%) of the net lot area, provided further
that in addition to the above described improvements, the areas included within
driveways, paved access to stables, parking spaces, walks, patios, decks and asphalt or
concrete paving of any kind excepting roads maintained by the Rolling Hills Community
Association, shall not cover more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the net lot area. (See
Section 17.16.200 "H" for exceptions). All measurements of structures shall be taken from
the exterior finished surfaces. Trellis calculations are to be taken from the edge of the
beams, not the posts.
For the purposes of this Section "net area" shall exclude: a) the entire area within a recorded
roadway easement plus the area within ten (10) feet measured perpendicular to the edge of
the roadway easement; (b) the ten (10) foot perimeter of the lot perpendicular to the
property lines on all sides; (c) any private drive or driveway that provides access to any
other lot or parcel; and (d) the access strip portion of a flag lot. (See NET LOT AREA
DIAGRAM)
Adm. Approval Rev.
Page 6 of 17 4/2016
LOT DISTURBANCE
Disturbed area of a lot shall be not greater than forty percent (40%) of the net lot area.
Exceptions: if 50% or more of the resulting slopes are 3:1 or less - then 50% of the
net lot area may be graded/disturbed
If all of the resulting slopes are 3:1 or less - then 60% of the net lot area may be
graded/ disturbed
Disturbance means, (in part), any remedial grading (temporary disturbance), any proposed
or existing graded slopes and graded building pad areas, and any nongraded areas where
impervious surfaces will remain or are proposed to be added; provided. (For full definition
See Section 17.12.040 "D" words)
City strongly encourages that slopes created through grading be gentler than the maximum
permitted of 2:1 gradient.
PLEASE NOTE: Grading cannot be approved over-the-counter (w/minor exception)
COMPUTATION OF BUILDABLE AREA AND COVERAGE THEREON
A policy of the City is to address coverage of an identified "EXISTING AND/OR
PROPOSED BUILDABLE AREA". Coverage thereon is based upon the calculation of the
footprint square footage of the residence, garage, stable (barn), other accessory structures
proposed and/or developed on said "buildable area," and all projecting structures such as
entryways, porte cochere, covered porches and breezeways. (Covered porches that are 10%
or less in size of the footprint of the residence or accessory structure and attached trellises
are not counted).
For the purpose of this calculation, "buildable area" shall be defined as stated in Section
17.12.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code which declares "buildable area" as the portion
of a lot that constitutes the existing or proposed building pad and any other contiguous
portion of the lot NOT IN THE SETBACKS THAT HAS AN AVERAGE SLOPE OF TEN
PERCENT (10%) OR LESS. A lot may have more than one "buildable area."
