To follow up on our phone conversations, this is to memorialize the City's zoning
regulations, as they exist today, pertaining to reconstruction of homes in the
Chuckwagon Road area of the City.
On April 23, 2012 the City Council of the City of Rolling Hills adopted Ordinance No.
326 establishing Chapter 17.17 OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT-1 (OZD-1) of the
Zoning Ordinance, encompassing several neighborhoods in the City in the RAS-1
zoning districts, inclusive of portions of Chuckwagon Road and your property at 39
Chuckwagon Road.
Chapter 17.17 of the Municipal Code stipulates, in part, that in the OZD-1 the front
yard setback may be 30' from the front roadway easement line and that although
the side yard setback in this zoning district shall be 20' from the side property line,
"if a portion of an existing single-family dwelling is located less than twenty feet
from the side yard setback line, the side yard setback line shall be the footprint of
the existing legally permitted residence, except that in no place shall the interior
side yard setback line be less than ten feet from the interior side property line".
I am enclosing the remainder of Chapter 17.17 of the Zoning Ordinance for your
reference and a map of the OZD-1 for your neighborhood.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The Overlay Zoning District (OZD-1) is established by this chapter to:

typical lots in the City, smaller than typical homes in the City, lots that
are divided by a road and lots where redevelopment is difficult due to
current setback requirements.
B. Allow for the modernization, reconstruction and enlargement of homes
on smaller lots, consistent with general plan policies, in a manner
compatible with the unique character of the neighborhood.
