during future graag and construction of the projectnd that the property owner
repair, correct and restore the private roadway from the driveway at 3 Lower
Blackwater Canyon Road to the subject driveway in the event the private roadway
becomes deteriorated or damaged due to construction on the subject property.
2. The applicant is requesting the following:
(a) Variance to encroach up to 50 feet into the front yard setback for a portion of
a proposed retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height to allow for
the widening of a 10 foot wide existing driveway to be 15 feet wide at the
northeast portion of the property;
(b)
Variance to permit the construction of 1,355 square feet of animal shelters
in the front yard at the northeast portion of the property;
(c) Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 625 square foot pool
cabana; and
(d) Site Plan Review for the construction of additions of 2,830 square feet to be
added to the existing 4,875 square foot residence for a total of 7,705 square
feet and the construction of a 719 square foot attached garage. A large
portion of the additions will be at the two northern wings of the residence.
The remaining additions will be at the southeast wing of the residence, and
the garage is proposed at the southwest wing of the residence.
3. In June, 1992, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Long received Variance approval to encroach
into the front yard setback to construct a retaining wall and were granted Site Plan
Review approval for substantial additions that would result in a 7,096 square foot
residence, 721 square foot garage, a 314 square foot swimming pool, 6,600 square
foot tennis court, a 1,440 square foot stable, and a 135 square foot service yard.
Except for the previously mentioned southwest children's wing, none of the other
residential additions and the retaining wall in the front yard setback were
constructed. And, it is unknown when the 1,440 square foot garage and stable with
loft was illegally converted to garage and office space, with three garage spaces and
one office space on the ground floor and 1,440 square feet of office space above.
4. Disturbed area of the lot will be 13,768 square feet or 5.57% overall (40%
maximum). There will be an additional 136 foot long retaining wall that will not
exceed 5 feet in height at the southwest portion of the residence adjacent to a new
719 square foot garage. Grading for the entire project will consist of 120 cubic yards
of cut soil and 120 cubic yards of fill soil.
5. The structural lot coverage proposed is 13,768 square feet or 5.57% (20% permitted).
The total lot coverage proposed is 32,568 square feet or 13.17% (35% permitted).
6. The residential building pad coverage proposed is 11,013 square feet or 23.85%.
Coverage on the 17,070 square foot barn and animal shelter pads is 16.37%. Total
building pad coverage is 21.77%.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH
INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO CONSTRUCT A RETAINING
WALL, GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO THE
FRONT YARD TO CONSTRUCT A CORRAL AND ANIMAL
SHELTERS, GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR A POOL CABANA, AND GRANTING SITE PLAN
REVIEW APPROVAL OF SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONS TO AN
EXISTING RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE IN ZONING CASE NO. 524.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mrs. Doris Beiler-Hozumi with
respect to real property located at 7 Lower Blackwater Canyon Road (Lot 83-RH),
Rolling Hills, requesting a Variance to permit the construction of a retaining wall
that will encroach into the front yard setback, requesting a Variance to permit the
construction of a stable and animal shelters in the front yard, requesting a
Conditional Use Permit for a Mixed Use Structure to permit a barn that was illegally
converted to a garage/office structure to remain in the side yard, and request for Site
Plan Review for the construction of substantial additions to an existing single family
residence. During the hearing process, the applicant withdrew the request for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Mixed Use Structure for an illegal garage/office use
and agreed to return the structure to its use as a barn with loft. The applicant's plans
show the removal of the existing tennis court and replacement with a pool/spa and
a pool cabana.
Section 2. On May 17, 1977, a Conditional Use Permit for a tennis court was
approved in Zoning Case No. 180. In 1981, a mixed use barn with loft and garage
was constructed prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 229 (December 17, 1990) that
requires a Conditional Use Permit for a Detached Garage or Mixed Use Structure.
Section 3. In October, 1987, Mr. and Mrs. William Davisson withdrew a
request for a Conditional Use Permit "to convert an existing two story stable and
garage to servants quarters, and a request for a Variance to the height limitation for
a two story structure to be used as servants quarters and garage with loft" in Zoning
Case No. 342.
Section 4. In March, 1992, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Long constructed a
children's wing at the southwest portion of the residence, replacing an attached
garage.
Section 5. In June, 1992, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Long were granted Variance
approval to encroach into the front yard setback to construct a retaining wall and
• •
Site Plan approval for substantial additions to the residence. These approvals
expired.
Section 6. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on November 22, 1994, December 20, 1994,
January 17, 1995, and February 21, 1995, and at a field trip visit on December 10, 1995.
The applicant was notified of the hearing in writing by first class mail and through
the City's newsletter. The applicant's representative, Mr. Sean Maghsodi, was in
attendance at the hearings.
Section 7. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 8. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of
property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity.
Section 17.16.110 requires a front yard setback for every residential parcel to be fifty
(50) feet. The applicant is requesting a Variance to construct a retaining wall with a
maximum height of five (5) feet above the downslope grade, a maximum length of
194 feet, which will encroach a maximum of fifty (50) feet into the fifty (50) foot front
yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the
other property or class of use in the same zone because the sloping topography and
the existing location of the driveway on the property necessitate the construction of
a retaining wall in the front yard setback in order to widen the driveway to support
existing hillside cuts and slopes to allow safe access for emergency vehicles.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone,
but which is denied to the property in question because of the steep slope on the lot
which necessitates a retaining wall to support the slope bank next to the proposed
driveway. The reconstruction of the wall in the front yard setback will create a safer
accessway and that will also improve the appearance of the existing driveway.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and
zone in which the property is located because the proposed project will be
compatible with surrounding properties and willhelp to improve the geologic
RESOLUTION NO. 95-3
PAGE 2 OF 10
stability of the slope and will not be visible to surrounding properties due to the
distances between the driveway and other adjacent residences.
Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 524 to permit the encroachment
of a retaining wall into the front yard setback, to a maximum height of five feet (5'),
a maximum length of 194 feet and with a maximum encroachment of fifty feet (50'),
as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, -subject to the conditions specified in
Section 16 of this Resolution.
Section 10. Sections 17.16.170(B)(2) and 17.16.200(A)(3) require that no
corral, pen, stable or other similar holding facility be permitted in a front yard. The
applicant is requesting a Variance to construct a 2,750 square foot corral and 1,355
square feet of animal shelters in the front yard at the northeast portion of the
property. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the
other property or class of use in the same zone because the sloping topography and
the existing location of the driveway on the property prevent the construction of
animal shelters in the rear yard. The proper and logical location for the corral and
animal shelters is below the proposed building pad because of the topographical
nature of the lot. The building pad for the residence is located at the central portion
of the lot where the ground is most level. The western yard slopes down to the
canyon which precludes the creation of a flat area for a corral and animal shelters in
the rear yard. The area proposed for the corral and animal shelters is the only place
available on this property for this use.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone,
but which is denied the property in question. The Variance is necessary because the
General Plan encourages and the Zoning Ordinance requires the delineation of
corrals and animal shelters on properties in the City of Rolling Hills and a corral
and animal shelters could not be feasibly located in the rear yard.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity
and zone in which the property is located. The Variance will permit the
construction of a corral and animal shelters that will not impact the street or
neighboring properties because they will be nestled into the hillside and screened
from view. Also, the building pad for the corral and animal shelters is located
along a long driveway so that it will not be visible to surrounding properties due to
the distances between the driveway and other adjacent residences.
RESOLUTION NO. 95-3
PAGE 3 OF 10
• •
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 524 to permit the construction of
a corral and animal shelter in the front yard, as indicated on the development plan
submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A,
subject to the conditions specified in Section 16 of this Resolution.
Section 12. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a Pool Cabana or Detached Recreation Room with a Conditional
Use Permit under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting to construct a 625
square foot pool cabana. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit,
the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the pool cabana would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General
Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is
consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the pool
cabana would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change
the existing configuration of structures on the lot.
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures have been considered, and the construction of a pool cabana will not
adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the pool cabana will be located west of the residential building
pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the pool house will
not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the pool cabana will comply with the
low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a
6.166 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to
accommodate such use.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zone district because the 625 square foot size of the
pool cabana is less than the 800 square foot maximum permitted for similar
accessory buildings and the pool cabana does not encroach into any setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and 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.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of
the Zoning Code because the pool cabana will be located away from the house and
not visible from the street or neighbors.

r
Section 13. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional . Use Permit for the construction of a pool cabana in
accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 524
subject to the conditions contained in Section 16.
Section 14. Section 17.46.020 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 or
structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in the size of the
building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the
size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any
thirty-six month period, may be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review
application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval,
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 project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot
coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 247,111 square feet. The
proposed residence (7,705 sq. ft.), garage (719 sq. ft.), barn (1,400 sq.ft.), pool cabana
(625 sq.ft.), pool (1,964 sq.ft.), and animal shelters (1,355 sq.ft.) will have 13,768 square
feet which constitutes 5.57% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural
lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and
driveway will be 32,568 square feet which equals 13.17% of the lot, which is within
the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement.
B. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval,
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).
C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval,
follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage
courses will continue to the canyons at the northwest side of this lot.
D. The development plan will, in compliance with the conditions
contained in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping
that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval,
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. Further, the proposed project will have a buildable pad
RESOLUTION NO. 95-3
PAGE 5 OF 10
• •
of 63,227 square feet and a total building pad coverage of 21.77%, and a residential
building pad coverage of 23.85%.
F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval,
is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be
exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of 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 or less than the ratio
found on several properties in the vicinity.
G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of
approval, 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 route, 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.
Section 15. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 524 for a
proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan
incorporated herein as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 16 of
this Resolution.
Section 16. The Variance to the front yard setback approved in Section 9, the
Variance to the front yard approved in Section 11, the Conditional Use Permit
approved in Section 13, and the Site Plan for residential development approved in
Section 15 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions:
A. These Variance and Site Plan approvals shall expire within one year
from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.070 and 17.42.070.
B. It is declared and made a condition of these Variance, Conditional Use
Permit, and Site Plan approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, these
approvals shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse;
provided that the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation
and has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days.
C. All requirements of the Buildings and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an
approved plan.
