RESOLUTION NO. 97-16
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
GUEST HOUSE AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL
FOR A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 556.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Dr. Maurice Lam with respect to
real property located at 68 Saddleback Road (Lot 6-RH), Rolling Hills, requesting a
Conditional Use Permit for a guest house and requesting Site Plan Review for the
construction of a new single family residence where a single family re sidence was
previously demolished.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on April 15, 1997 and May 20,1997, and at a field
trip visit on May 17, 1997. The applicants were notified of the hearing in writing by
first class mail and through the City's newsletter. The applicant's representative,
Mr. Frank Politeo, architect, was in attendance at the hearings. The Traffic
Commission reviewed the project on May 22, 1997 and made recommendations to
the Planning Commission to relocate the driveway 200 feet west because of the close
proximity to a curve on Saddleback Road and the intersection of Saddleback Road
and Roadrunner Road.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 3 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.16.210(A)(5) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a guest house with a Conditional Use Permit under certain
conditions. The applicant is requesting to construct an 800 square foot guest house
with a 280 square foot porch. 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 a guest house would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General
Plan and would 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
guest house 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 guest house would

building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the guest
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 guest house will comply with the
low profile residential development pattern of the community. The proposed guest
house is located on a 2.83 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and
topography to accommodate such use. The guest house will be 118 feet from the
residence and there is sufficient space on the lot for a stable and corral.
D. The proposed guest house complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district because the 800 square foot size of the guest house is
equal to the 800 square foot maximum permitted and the guest house does not
encroach into any setback areas.
E. The proposed guest house 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 it complies with all development standards, will not
result in over -development of the lot, and will be consistent with the rural character
of the community.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a guest house in
accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 556
subject to the conditions contained in Section 8.
Section 6. 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. The applicants propose to construct a
new single family residence and guest house where there is an existing tennis court.
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 119,550 square feet. The
proposed residence (8,436 sq. ft.), garage (902 sq. ft.), guest house (800 sq.ft.),
swimming pool (693 sq.ft.), existing tennis court (6,800 sq.ft.), service yard (225 sq.ft.)
and stable (450 sq.ft.), will have 18,306 square feet which constitutes 15.31% of the
lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The
total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 32,645 square feet
which equals 27.31% 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. The natural drainage
courses will be preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the north side of
this lot.
D. The development plan will, based upon 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 27,330 square
foot residential building pad with coverage of 34,17%, a 19,658 square foot pool and
recreation court pad with coverage of 42.19%. a 5,603 square foot stable pad with
coverage of 8.03%, and a total building pad coverage of 34.38%.
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. The proposed project is also consistent with the scale of other homes in
the immediate neighborhood. Grading for the project will require 492 cubic yards of
cut soil and 492 cubic yards of fill soil. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot
coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity.
G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval,
is sensitive to and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for
pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize a new driveway to
Saddleback Road for access that has been approved by the City's Traffic Commission.
