TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A CABANA OVER 200 SQUARE
FEET AND A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO SITE PLAN REVIEW TO
INCREASE SIZE OF RESIDENCE BY 1,100 SQUARE FEET AND
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF GRADING BY 7,520 CUBIC YARDS
RELATING TO A PREVIOUSLY GRANTED SITE PLAN REVIEW,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND VARIANCE ENTITLEMENTS
AT AT 20 UPPER BLACKWATER CANYON ROAD (LOT 101-RH),
ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (IANNITTI).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals
A.A request was duly filed by Mr. Dominic Iannitti, on September 2, 2020, for
a Conditional Use Permit for a cabana exceeding 200 square feet and a Major Modification
to Site Plan Review to 1) increase to size of the residence by 1,100 square feet and 2)
increase to the amount of grading by 7,520 cubic yards relating to a previously granted
Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit, and Variance entitlements for a project located
at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road (“Major Modification”).
B The property is zoned RAS-2 and the lot area excluding the roadway
easement is 3.12 acres. For development purposes the net lot area of the lot is 135,735
square feet. There is an existing 4,385 square foot house with 552 square foot garage, two
swimming pools collectively with 1,328 square feet of water surface, two accessory
structure sheds totaling 385 square feet, and 505 square foot stable on the property site.
The guesthouse was originally used as the principal residence. The lot is located on a
corner of Portuguese Bend Road and Blackwater Canyon Road. The legal non-
conforming 2,012 square foot guest house is proposed to remain. The lot currently
contains three building pads; main residence pad, guest house pad, and stable pad.
C.On February 1, 2017, an application was duly filed by Mr. Dominic Iannitti,
to request a Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permits and Variances to construct a new
9,975 square foot residence with a 7,750 square foot basement, new 1,675 square foot,
attached, four-car garage, a 2,775 square foot single story, stable, a 10,800 square foot
corral, a 7,500 square foot riding ring, widen the existing driveway apron, altered access
pathway to the corral via a 15 foot wide driveway, and various outdoor amenities
including a new 1,055 square foot infinity pool. A new decomposed granite pathway to
the stable, primarily for horses, was also proposed from Pine Tree Lane. Grading for the
6
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
2
project was proposed to be total combined 33,730 cubic yards of cut and fill, over-
excavation and recompaction. Construction activities would include grading of 8,150
cubic yards of cut, 3,430 cubic yards of fill, 9,500 cubic yards of over-excavation, and
12,650 cubic yards of recompaction. 1,570 cubic yards of dirt was proposed to be exported
from the property. With the proposed grading, the disturbed area of the lot was proposed
to be 79.2%.
D.The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to
consider the application beginning at their regular meeting on August 15, 2017. The
hearing was continued and a field trip was conducted for the project on September 19,
2017 with additional review and discussion at the evening Planning Commission meeting
held on that same date. The applicant has made extensive modifications to the proposal
based on feedback from the owner and the Planning Commission. Thus, a second field
visit that illustrated the modifications was duly noticed and held on November 21, 2017.
The public hearing for the project was continued and heard on December 19, 2017. After
review and discussion of revisions to the project, the Planning Commission, at the
December meeting, directed staff to prepare a Resolution of approval. Three Planning
Commissioners were absent over the course of the two field visits but made special trips
to the property with City staff and applicant representatives to review the project.
E.The Planning Commissin approved Zoning Case No. 918 and Resolution
No. 2018-01 granting a Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permits, and Variances for
grading and construction of a new residence, new four car garage, stable, corral, riding
ring, altered flatwork and access pathway to the corral, and various outoddor amenities
inclulding a new pool.
F.An application was duly filed by Mr. Dave Palacios with respect to real
property located at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road requesting a two-year time
extension to comply with the requirements of Resolution No. 2018-01 to commence
construction of the approved project.
G.The Commission considered this item at a meeting on January 21, 2020 at
which time information was presented by the applicants indicating that additional time
is needed to commence the project. The Commission granted the extension pursuant to
Resolution No. 2020-02.
H. On September 2, 2020, Mr. Iannitt requested a discretionary major
modification to previously approved Zoning Case No. 918 requiring a Site Plan Review
for 1) increase to size of the residence by 1,100 square feet, 2) increase to the amount of
grading by 7,520 cubic yards, 3) construct new retaining walls maximum 5 feet in height
along corral, riding ring, and driveway; and a Conditional Use Permit for a new cabana
exceeding 200 square feet for a revised project located at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon
Road.

I.The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to
consider the application at an onsite meeting on February 16, 2021 at 7:30 a.m.and at their
regular meeting on February 16 at 6:30 PM. Neighbors within 1,000-foot radius were
notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail and a notice was published in
the Daily Breeze on February 5, 2021. The applicants and their agents were notified of the
public hearings in writing by first class mail.
J. On the morning of February 16, 2021, the Planning Commission held public
field trip meeting on site. The Planning Commissioners viewed the silhouettes of the
proposed residence, cabana, grading, garages, walls, and overall site. The proposed
project was presented later that night at the Planning Commission Meeting at 6:30 p.m.
via Zoom Teleconference. The Planning Commissioners voted to continue the project to
provide the applicant additional time to revise the design of the proposed retaining wall
along the rear driveway. The Planning Commissioners directed staff to work with the
applicant to submit revised plans to mitigate the proposed wall height. The project was
continued to the next Planning Commission Meeting on March 16, 2021.
K.On the morning of March 16, 2021, the Planning Commission held public
field trip meeting on site. The meeting was a continuation from the February 16, 2021
public hearing. The Planning Commissioners viewed the overall site and proposed walls.
The applicant revised the plansand provided renderings of the proposed project, the wall
heights were decreased to a 3 feet in height maximum. Therefore, no Site Plan Review
was required for the walls. On the evening of March 16, 2021, at the regular meeting, the
planning Commision approved Zoning Case. No. 2021-08 for for the Major Modification
requriing a Site Plan Revew for 1) increase size of residence by 1,100 sqaure feet, 2)
increase the amount of grading by 7,520 cubic yards, and a Conditional Use Permit for a
new 450 square foot cabana. The Planning Commission of Rolling Hills directed staff to
prepare a resolution of approval for the April 20, 2021 Public Hearing.
L.On April 20, 2021, the Planning Commission held a regular Public Hearing
and Staff presented Resolution No. 2021-01 for adoption.
Section 2.The findings for Site Plan Review (Zoning Case No. 918)
entitlements from Resolution No. 2018-01 are restated below:
Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for Site Plan Review and
approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or any new building or structure
may be constructed.
With respect to the Site Plan grading and the proposed structures, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact:
8
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
4
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning
Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structures comply with the
General Plan requirement of low profile, low-density residential development with
sufficient open space between surrounding structures and maintaining sufficient
setbacks to provide buffers between residential uses. Although the disturbed area
exceeds the maximum permitted amount of 40%, the existing disturbance already
exceeds the allowable limit and all additional disturbance is for equestrian purposes only.
The equestrian uses promotes the rural, equestrian aesthetic of Rolling Hills. The existing
paved driveway leading to the stable will be reduced and have the portion leading to the
existing guesthouse replaced with decomposed granite, which also promotes a feeling of
open space. Retaining walls are proposed to be located primarily between the proposed
residence and stable and are the result of modifications to the stable plan recommended
by the Planning Commission.
The project conforms with Zoning Code lot coverage requirements, except for
disturbance. The net lot area of the lot is 135,735 square feet. The structural net lot
coverage is proposed at 19,252 or 14.18% (with deductions), (20% max. permitted); and
the total lot coverage proposed, is proposed to be 39,202 square feet or 28.88% (with
deductions), (35% max. permitted). The disturbed area of the lot is proposed to increase
from 58.94% to 79.2% due entirely to equestrian uses for the proposed project.
B.The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the
lot by minimizing building coverage. The topography and the configuration of the lot,
have been considered, and it was determined that the proposed development will not
adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures,
because the proposed residence will be constructed on an existing building pad of the
currently developed lot, will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be
screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that it will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and
will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the
rights of surrounding property owners. The lot is 3.11 net lot acres in size and will feature
a stable, corral, and riding ring. The corral and riding ring will be developed on the
currently vacant portion of the lot and will remain open space.
C.The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, and is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared
to new residences in the City. Portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The residence
and stable will be screened from the road and neighbors.
D.The development will introduce additional landscaping for vegetated
slopes, which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and
will provide a transition area between private and public areas. Further, the stable pad
has been reduced from the original proposal received by City staff to lower the height of
9
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
5
the stable by 14 feet (11 feet lower plus 3 feet taken from the ridgeline of the stable
structure). This helps allow the design to follow more of the natural contours of the site.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the applicants
will continue to utilize the existing driveway to the residence and the stable, and the
stable and corral will be accessed from the main driveway for heavier vehicles
ingress/egress.
Section 3.The findings for the Conditional Use Permit entitlements from
Resolution No. 2018-01 and restated below.
Section 17.18.040E of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a stable
over 200 square feet, corral and riding arena with a Conditional Use Permit provided the
uses are not located in the front yard or in any setbacks. No portion of the stable, corral
or riding ring are proposed to be in any setback. With respect to this request for a
Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A.Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code. The Commission must consider applications for conditional use
permits and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional
use which will not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a
menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be materially detrimental to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the new stable, corral, and
riding ring would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan because the uses are consistent with similar uses in the
community, and meet all the applicable code development standards for a stable, corral,
and riding ring, and they are located in an area on the property that is adequately sized
to accommodate such uses. The proposed uses are appropriately located in that they will
be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used for habitation or containing
sleeping quarters. The development would be constructed in furtherance of the General
Plan goal of promoting and encouraging equestrian uses.
C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been
considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed stable orientation is not
towards neighbors and its general location is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. The
proposed stable, corral, and riding ring are to be located separate from all living areas on
the property.
10
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
6
D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the stable, corral, and riding ring comply
with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and will not give
the property an over-built look. The lot is 3.11 net lot acres in size and is sufficiently large
to accommodate the proposed uses.
E. The proposed equestrian conditional uses comply with all applicable
development standards of the zone district and require a Conditional Use Permit
pursuant to Sections 17.18.090 and 17.18.100 of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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.
Section 4.The findings for the Variance entitlements from Resolution No. 2018-
01 and restated below:
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 at 58.94%, the disturbance already
exceeds the 40% maximum and is proposed to increase to 79.2% to accommodate the
proposed equestrian uses for the project.
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 the property was previously
subdivided which substantially increases the existing disturbance for the lot. The
residential building pad are existing and developed already, and the proposed garage is
not easily seen from the road.
The exceedance of the disturbance is due entirely to the new stable, corral, and
riding ring, all equestrian uses. The other structures (pool and outdoor kitchen) on the
residence building pad are located fairly close to one another and make best use of the
existing residential pad.
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 stable and open equestrian space is
not in any setbacks. The stable will be compatible with desired rural aesthetic of Rolling
Hills and therefore would not affect property values. The corral and riding ring will
remain as open space.
11
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
7
D. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities.
E. The variance request is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed
project, together with the variance, will be compatible with the objectives, policies, general
land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and will uphold the City’s goals to
protect and promote construction that is rural in nature.
Section 5 The findings for the entitlement extention from Resolution No. 2020-02 and
restated below:
Section 1.An application was duly filed by Mr. Dave Palacios with respect to
real property located at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road requesting a two-year time
extension to comply with the requirements of Resolution No. 2018-01 to commence
construction of the approved project.
Section 2.The Commission considered this item at a meeting on January 21,
2020 at which time information was presented by the applicants indicating that
additional time is needed to commence the project.
Section 3.The Planning Commission finds that pursuant to RHMC Section
17.46.080 the expiration would constitute an undue hardship upon the property owner;
and the continuation of the approval would not be materially detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the public.
Section 4.Based upon information and evidence submitted, the Planning
Commission grants two-year time extension.
Section 5.Except as herein amended, the provisions and conditions of
Resolution No. 2018-01 shall continue to be in full force and effect.
Section 6. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 17.46.020 requires Site Plan
Review for the following projects: a project that increases the size of the building or
structure by more than nine hundred ninety-nine square feet and a project that requires
grading. The Planning Commission finds that the Major Modification to the Site Plan
Review, to increase the size of the main residence by 1,100 square feet (total 22,150 square
feet residence and basement) and increase grading to 7,250 cubic yards of dirt (total 41,250
cubic yards) does not affect the findings for Site Plan Review (above).
A.The project still complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies
of the general plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance. The proposed 1,100
square feet addition to the main residence and 3,325 square feet to the basement (total of
12
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
8
22,150 square feet total for residence and basement). The project was approved January
1, 2018 for a 9,975 square foot residence and 7,750 sqaure foot basement (total square
footage 17,725). The applicant increased the square footage of the proposed project to
22,150 sqaure feet. By allowing the Applicant to increase the square footage of the
residence by 1,100 square feet, the development will be still compatible with low-density
residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures and
maintaining sufficient setbacks. Although the disturbed area exceeds the maximum
permitted amount of 40%, the existing 79.2% disturbance already exists and there are no
proposed changes in disturbance. The proposed projectuse is consistent with similar uses
in the RAS-2 Zone, and is located in the on the property that is adequately sized to
accommodate such use. The project will be located on a previously graded and already
disturbed area of the property. The overall project promotes equestrian uses, therefore
furthering the City’s goal to remain an equestrian community. The project complies with
the all of development standards in the Rolling Hills Municipal Code with the exeception
of the existing 79.2% lot disturbance which was previously approved that exceeds the
40% allowable lot disturbance. The project still substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot because the previously approved amount of grading and
excavation for the house and basement has increased by 7,520 cubic yards.
B.The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the
lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as
maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the ex isting
buildable area of the lot; The new residence will be constructed on an area where the
existing house and garage will be demolished. The construction of the project integrates
into areas of the property that have already been developed. The increase in square
footage will not cause the property to exceed the permitted lot coverages of the buildable
area. The project will be screened from the road and all neighbors. The proposed
residence and basement is a total of 22,150 feet which is in line with the net lot size of
135,735 square feet. The proposed walls will not exceed 3 feet in height of exposed area
above grade located along driveway, stable, home, corral, and riding ring and will
integrate into the natural terrain and follow the natural contours of the site .
C.The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass with the site,
and is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to new and existing
residences in the RAS-2 Zone. The proposed project is consistent with the scale of the
neighborhood since it is on a large lot. The project is still harmonious in scale and mass
with the site despite the change in the increased grading. The project was previously
approved in resolution No. 2018-01 for 33,730 cubic yards of grading. The grading of the
project has increased to 41,250 cubic yards of grading (increase of 7,520 cubic yards. The
overall site grading proposes 8,385 cubic yards of cut, 4,765 cubic yards of fill, 12,400
cubic yards of over-excavation, 15,700 cubic yards of recompaction, and total export of
320 cubic yards (allowable export is 5,180 cubic yards). The project still preserves and
integrates into the site design existing topographic features of the site by utilizing dirt
13
Resolution No. 2021-01
20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road
9
from grading and excavation of the main residence and basement on the site. The slopes
are being preserved or rebuilt in a design that will preserve the existing natural slopes
and natural vegetation on the property.
D.The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest
extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native
vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls).
There will be no significant changes to the site design, as the residential use will remain
the same as previously approved with the exception of an increase in size for the
residence. The propject will minimize grading in vegetated areas and at the perimeter of
the property. The existing topography or topographic features will not be affected and
there will be no change to the drainage course. Trees and shrubs will be planted for
screening to the adjacent neighbors without any view obstruction. If landscaping is
introduced, it must be compatible with and enhance the rural character of the
community, and the landscaping should provide a buffer or transition area between
private and public areas.
E.The graded sites will be rounded to blend in with the existing terrain. The
proposed development plan follows the natural contours by concentrating in areas that
are leveled or previously developed. Grading has been designed to follow natural
contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to build the
proposed development.
F.The project will not affect any drainage course as the drainage will mimic
the existing drainage course and no drainage channels will be affected by the proposed
grading. The proposed grading for the Major Modification is located within an already
disturbed area for the construction of the proposed residence and basement.
G.The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and
supplements these elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with
and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or
transition area between private and public areas. The project will retain the existing
vegetation, and any new vegetation comatible with the rural character of the City. The
landscaping will provide a buffer or transition area between the property and
surroudning properties. The retaining walls along the driveway, stable, corral, and
residence will not disturb surrounding native vegetation or mature trees.
H.The development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and
safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because it does not affect or change the
existing access to the property. The circulation of the project has been previously
approved in Resolution No. 2018-01. The driveway complies with the Fire Department
code, and there is ample parking in the garage and parking for guests on site.

I.The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act. The project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment
and is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited
numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and
facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use
to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure; (A).
One single-family residence or a second dwelling unit in a zone which permits residential
uses.
Section 7.Section 17.42.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code allows
construction of acabana that exceeds 200 square feet with a Conditional Use Permit. With
respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as
follows:
A. That the proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan; The
granting of the Conditional Use Permit for the 450 square foot cabana will be consistent
with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the
use is consistent with similar uses in the community. The cabana meets all the applicable
code development standards and is located in an area on the property that is adequately
sized to accommodate the use.
B.The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been
considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures. the proposed cabana orientation is not towards
neighbors and its general location is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so as
to not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. The proposed cabana will
be screened with landscaping to minimize view impacts to surrounding homes.
C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape
to accommodate the use and buildings proposed; The cabana complies with the low
profile residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property
an over-built look. The lot is 3.11 net lot acres in size and is sufficiently large to
accommodate the proposed use.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district.
E.The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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.

DATE:April 20, 2021
BACKGROUND:
LOCATION AND LOT DESCRIPTION
Zoning and Land Size
The property is zoned RAS-1 and has a net lot area of 23,288 square feet. The lot was developed with a
2,770 square-foot single family residence and a 439 square-foot attached two-car garage. There are two
existing building pads on site. The existing residence and garage are located on the primary building
pad (Pad #1) with an area of 7,581square feet and a secondary building pad (Pad #2) with an area of
3,914 square feet (Pad #2) on the lower elevation behind the existing residence. The proposed
swimming pool/equipment will be located on Pad #1. The secondary building pad is the proposed site
for the detached three-car garage, Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and future stable and corral. The
size of the lot limits the buildable area for development.
REQUEST AND PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Applicant’s Project Scope
The applicant is proposing to build: 800 square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) which does not
require and any discretionary approval, 768 square-foot detached three-car garage, 626 square-foot new
pool and equipment, 470 square-foot flatwork and 1,336 cubic yards of grading balanced on site.
Applicant’s Requests
Variances
The applicant is requesting Variances for: exceeding the 30% maximum building pad coverage for the
42
pool addition on the first building pad and for the proposed garage and future stable on the second
building pad; exceeding 20% structural coverage; and for encroachment of the corral into the required
35-foot setback from the proposed garage and ADU.
Site Plan Review
The applicant is requesting a Site Plan Review (SPR) for the proposed 1,336 cubic yards of grading.
Conditional Use Permit
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed detached 768 square-foot
three-car garage.
DISCUSSION:
MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE
Variances to Exceed the Maximum 30% Building Pad Coverage and 20% Structural Coverage.
Applicants are requesting to exceed the maximum 30% building pad coverage for both Pad #1 and Pad
#2 and to exceed the 20% maximum structural coverage. The proposed 626 square-foot swimming
pool/equipment are going to be located on Pad #1. Pad #1 area coverage will increase by 8.2% from
44.1% to 52.3%. Many of the residents in the City of Rolling Hills enjoy the amenity of having a
swimming pool on site. Applicants' lot is less than one acre in size and is one of the smaller lots in the
City. This makes it difficult to comply with the strict application of the Code.
Applicants are also proposing to add an 800 square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit on Pad #2. The ADU
is exempt from coverage requirements the required 25-foot setback and thus, does not require any
discretionary approvals. Applicants are also proposing to add a 768 square-foot detached three car
garage which contributes to the exceedance of the pad and structural coverage. The additional garage is
not a requirement for the ADU.
Lastly, the future stable and corral further increase the pad and structural by 450 square feet. The
applicant is not proposing to build the equestrian uses but they are required to allocate space for them
and include them in the discretionary request if such uses exceed code requirements.
The above uses on Pad #2 increase the building pad coverage by 40% from 11.4% to 51.4% and total
structural coverage for the entire project site, which includes all the structures and flatwork, is 27.1% up
by 9.7 %; maximum allowed is 20%.
Variance Request for Encroachment into the Required 35-Foot Setback Between a Future Corral
and the Proposed Garage and ADU.
Applicants are requesting relief from the code for the required 35-foot setback between the future corral
and proposed garage and ADU. The size of the lot contributes to the improvement constraints of the
site. The ADU falls under ministerial review. Applicants have taken into consideration the
neighborhood character and respected existing setbacks of developed parcels. The proposed siting of the
proposed ADU and corral is the least impactful to applicants' adjacent neighbors and the community as
a whole.
43
Site Plan Review Request for 1,336 Cubic Yards of Grading
Applicants are proposing 1,336 cubic yards of grading that will be balance on site. The proposed
grading will require Building and Safety's approval for drainage. Additionally, the proposed grading
does not significantly change the terrain of the site because most of the site has been disturbed.
Conditional Use Permit Request for the Proposed Detached Garage
Applicants are proposing to add a 768 square-foot detached garage. The proposed garage greatly
contributes to the exceedance of the building pad and structural coverage on Pad #2. The existing house
an existing two-car attached garage. The proposed three-car garage is not a requirement for the approval
of the ADU.
Environmental Review
The proposed project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and is
categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to
Land) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts minor alterations in the condition of land, including but
not limited to grading on land with a slope of less than 10 percent. The grading taking place on the
property is on land with a slope of less than 10 percent to account for the detached garage structure. The
proposed project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and is
categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts accessory structures
including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences. The detached garage and pool qualify
as new construction of small structures.

elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural
character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private
and public areas;
10. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians
and vehicles; and
11. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
12. If all of the above findings cannot be made with regard to the proposed project, or cannot be
made even with changes to the project through project conditions imposed by City staff and/or
the Planning Commission, the site plan review application shall be denied.
17.42.050 - Basis for approval or denial of Conditional Use Permit.
The Commission (and Council on appeal), in acting to approve a conditional use permit application,
may impose conditions as are reasonably necessary to ensure the project is consistent with the General
Plan, compatible with surrounding land use, and meets the provisions and intent of this title. In making
such a determination, the hearing body shall find that the proposed use is in general accord with the
following principles and standards:
1. That the proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan;
2. That the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been
45
considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, building or structures;
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the
use and buildings proposed;
4. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone
district;
5. That the proposed 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;
6. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of this title.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to prepare a resolution representing Planning Commission's decision on Conditional Use
Permit, Variances and Site Plan Review requests.
