The secondary building pad is the proposed site for the detached two-car garage, Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and the set aside area for future stable and corral. REQUEST AND PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Applicants' Project Scope Applicants are proposing to build: 800 square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which does not require any discretionary approval, 419 square-foot detached two-car garage, 576 square-foot new swimming pool, 50 square-foot pool equipment area, 470 flatwork and 641 cubic yards of grading. Applicants' Requests Variances Applicants are requesting Variances for: exceeding the 30% maximum building pad coverage for the pool addition on the first building pad and for the proposed garage and future stable on the second 22 building pad; exporting 384 cubic yards of grading, 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 Applicants are requesting a Site Plan Review (SPR) for the proposed 641 cubic yards of grading. Conditional Use Permit Applicants are requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed detached 419 square-foot two-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 Pad #1 and Pad #2 and to exceed the 20% maximum structural coverage for the entire lot. The proposed 576 square-foot swimming pool, pool equipment and deck are going to be located on Pad #1. Pad #1 area coverage will increase by 8.2% from 44.1% to 52.3%. The proposed building pad coverage for Pad #2 is 42.6%. The proposed overall development will exceed the allowable 20% structural coverage by 5.6%. 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 and this makes it difficult to comply with the strict application of the Code. The proposed development on Pad #1 is already on an existing disturbed area. The proposed flatwork and grading would allow applicants to install the pool on Pad #1 and enjoy the additional amenities of having a patio, fire pit and barbecue area. The proposed location of the pool would also afford applicants views of the City and beyond. The proposed development on Pad #1 is low to the ground and will not cause any view impacts to the adjacent neighbors. Lastly, the proposed grading for the pool and flatwork, and additional impermeable surface will not have any adverse impacts to existing drainage pattern in the area. As mentioned earlier, Pad #1 is an existing disturbed area already used for outdoor activities. Applicants are also proposing to add an 800 square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit on Pad #2. The proposed ADU meets code and does not require any discretionary approvals. In addition to the ADU, applicants are also proposing to add a 419 square-foot detached two-car garage. Applicants must also include a minimum 450 square-foot set aside area for a future stable. The proposed development with the set aside increases the pad coverage to 42.6% or 1,669 square feet (800 SF of which is for ADU). Per Code, although maximum lot area coverage may limit the size of an ADU, it cannot be smaller than 800 square feet. One off-street parking space is required for ADU. Applicants are not proposing to build the stable and corral but they are required to allocate space for the uses and include them in the discretionary request if such uses exceed code requirements. The proposed overall structural coverage total is 27.3% of the net area; an increase of 9.9% from existing coverage. The maximum allowed by code is 20%. The ADU is included in the 27.3% total coverage. The City of Rolling Hills limits building size through the use of lot coverage, building pad coverage, and the allowance of one story structure. The subject lot has a net area of 23,288 square feet with 23 building Pad #2 consisting of 3,914 square feet. The proposed ADU (800 SF), two-car garage (419 SF) and stable set aside (450 SF) would exceed the allowable building pad coverage of 30% or 1,174 SF by 12.6% or 495 square feet. Out of the three uses mentioned above for Pad #2, the only area required to be identified is for future equestrian use. Although it does not have to be built, the Code requires that a set aside of 450 SF needs to be included in any development plans being proposed if it exceeds code requirements. As of January 2020, through a State mandate, the City no longer has the authority to deny an applicant's request to build an ADU that complies with Code. In addition, the State prohibits cities from requiring applicants to limit the size of an ADU to less than 800 square feet unless it is a Junior ADU, which is attached to the main residence. Given the current regulation constraints, the only use that could be modified, to avoid relief from the code, is the proposed two-car garage. The City's ADU code requires one off-street parking but it does not have to enclosed, and thus, the proposal for a two car garage exceeds code requirements. Staff's recommendation is to limit the garage size to a one-car garage. Although the addition of a one- car garage would still exceed the pad coverage, the proposed development is low in height and blends in with the proposed ADU style. Furthermore, decreasing the size of the garage would provide more space between the adjacent home northwest of the proposed development and the garage. A smaller garage would also address the over-development of the site and preserve one of the General Plan's goals of maintaining the rural character of the City. As mentioned earlier, the City regulates development through limiting lot and building pad coverage of structures therefore, limiting the size of the garage meets the intent of the Code and the General Plan. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission takes this into consideration when directing staff to prepare the resolution. 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 ADU. The set aside area for the corral is approximately 32 feet away from the ADU. The size of the lot contributes to improvement constraints of the site. 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. Site Plan Review Request for 1,336 Cubic Yards of Grading Applicants are proposing 641 cubic yards of grading, 384 cubic yards will be exported. The proposed grading will require Building and Safety's approval for drainage. The proposed grading will not significantly change the terrain of the site because most of the site has been disturbed. Most of the grading will consist of maximum 2-foot cuts for the proposed flatwork. Conditional Use Permit Request for the Proposed Detached Garage Applicants are proposing to add a 419 square-foot detached garage. The proposed garage contributes to the exceedance of the building pad and structural coverage on Pad #2. The existing house has an existing two-car attached garage. The proposed two-car garage is not a requirement for the approval of the ADU. The ADU requires one off street parking. Environmental Review 24 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. Public Participation Three neighbors were present at the Planning Commission Field Trip held on April 20, 2021 and the adjacent neighbor at 25 Chuckwagon Road spoke at the Evening Meeting held on April 20, 2021. Additional calls were received to discuss the proposed project from those who attended and spoke at the meetings. Concerns about height, density, and frequency of use of the easement behind the property were discussed. 17.38.050 - Required Variance findings. In granting a variance, the Commission (and Council on appeal) must make the following findings: 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question; 3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; 4. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; 5. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant; 6. That 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; and 7. That the variance request is consistent with the general plan of the City of Rolling Hills. 17.46.050 - Required Site Plan Review findings. 1. The Commission shall be required to make findings in acting to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a site plan review application. 2. No project which requires site plan review approval shall be approved by the Commission, or by the City Council on appeal, unless the following findings can be made: 3. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance; 4. 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 existing buildable area of the lot; 5. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences; 6. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing 25 topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls); 7. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area; 8. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course; 9. 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; 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 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: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review and consider applicants' request for relief from the code to allow: exceedance of the lot coverage and building pad coverage, encroachment into required corral setback, grading export, consider staff's recommendation to decrease the proposed garage size to a one-car garage, and direct staff to prepare a resolution reflecting the Planning Commission's final decision.

DATE:May 18, 2021 BACKGROUND: LOCATION AND LOT DESCRIPTION Zoning and Land Size The property is zoned RAS-2 and has a net lot area of 191,262 square feet. The lot was developed with residential, garage, recreation room, observatory, and stable structures, which total 7,575 square feet. There are three existing building pads on site. The existing residence and garage are located on the primary building pad (Pad #1), which is 31,905 square feet. The secondary building pad (Pad #2) is 8,145 square feet and is located on a lower elevation behind the existing residence. The third building pad (Pad #3) is on the lowest existing building pad and is 15,168 square feet. The existing stable, which is proposed for mixed use conversion and 741 SF addition, and the proposed sports court are both located on Pad #3. REQUEST AND PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Applicants' Project Scope Applicants are proposing to add 741 SF to an existing 1,069 square-foot stable and convert it into 785 square-foot office with restroom and 794 square-foot recreation room. The proposed 741 square-foot addition will be built within the boundaries of the existing roof structure. Additionally, applicants are proposing a 6,384 sports court that will replace the existing corral. The proposed uses will require Conditional Use Permit. The proposed addition and sports court also require Variances for encroachment into the required side yard setback and for exceeding the maximum building pad coverage. Applicants' Requests 36 Variances Applicants are requesting Variances for: encroachment into the side yard setback and exceedance of the 30% maximum building pad coverage. Conditional Use Permit Applicants are requesting Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed sports court and mixed use. DISCUSSION: MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE Variances to Exceed the Maximum 30% Building Pad Coverage and Encroachment into the Required Setback. Applicants are requesting to exceed the maximum 30% building pad coverage on Pad #3 by 24.2% to accommodate the proposed 6,384 SF sports court. The proposed sports court will be located on an existing building pad that is currently occupied by a corral. The proposed sports court's footprint will not exceed the current footprint of the existing corral. The proposed sports court will encroach into the required side yard by approximately 13 feet. In addition, the proposed extension to the existing stable, although it will not exceed the leading edge of the existing stable, will encroach into the side yard setback by approximately six feet (6'). The encroachment of the proposed structures into the required side yard setback do not further exceed the existing structures' boundaries or leading structural edges. The fence that will surround the sports court will be located within the existing fencing that surround the corral. The proposed addition the the stable will align with the existing walls of the structure, which will enclose areas that are under the existing roof overhang. The proposed addition to the stable will transition seamlessly with the existing design of the structure. Conditional Use Permit Request for the Proposed Detached Garage Applicants are proposing to convert an existing corral into 6,384 square-foot sports court and add 741 square feet to an existing stable and convert the use to office and recreation room. The proposed conversion of the corral to a sports court causes the lease amount of disturbance on site. The proposed sports court will not require grading because the current site is already flat and can accommodate the proposed use. Applicants are also adding landscaping around the proposed court to help screen the propose 10-foot high fence. The proposed landscape materials will require approval from the Fire Department and compliance with the State's water usage limit. The conversion of the stable to mixed use will have no adverse impact to surrounding uses and is not in conflict with allowed uses in the zone. In addition, applicants are proposing a set aside area for equestrian uses that meet code requirements. 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 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts accessory structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences. Public Participation Resident James Black called staff to state he is in support of the project. 37 17.38.050 - Required Variance findings. In granting a variance, the Commission (and Council on appeal) must make the following findings: 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question; 3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; 4. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; 5. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant; 6. That 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; and 7. That the variance request is consistent with the general plan of the City of Rolling Hills. 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 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: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider and approve Resolution No. XXX approving the request for Conditional Use Permit for the sports court and mixed use, and Variances for encroachment into the side yard setback and exceedance of the maximum 30% building pad coverage.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Sermon requesting Variances for 1) encroachment into the side yard setback for the proposed sports court and mixed use (office and recreation rrom) and 2) exceedance of the building pad coverage on Pad No. 3, location of the proposed development; and Conditional Use Permit for the proposed sports court and mixed use located at 15 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application on May 18, 2021 including a morning field trip and an evening meeting. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and has a net lot area of 191,262 square feet. The lot is currently developed with a single family residence with attached garage, recreation room, observatory, pool, stable and corral. There are three existing building pads on site on different elevations. The existing residence, garage and pool are located on Pad No. 1. The secondary building pad, Pad No. 2, is on a lower elevation where the observatory and recreation room are located. The lowest pad, Pad No. 3, is where the stable and corral are located and where the proposed use conversion and 741 square-foot addition will occur. Section 4. This project is also categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) because it involves minor alteration of or addition to an existing private structure. The project consists of partial a 741 square-foot addition to an existing stable, new 6,384 square-foot sports court and conversion of the existing stable to office with a restroom, and recreation room. Section 5. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance granting relief from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity or zone. In proposing to encroach into the side yard setback for the proposed 741 square-foot addition and new 6,384 square-foot sports court and exceeding the building pad coverage, Variances are required to grant relief 58 2 Resolution 2021-05 15 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road (Sermon) from Section 17.16.110, 17.16.120, and 17.16.097 of the Zoning Ordinance. With respect to the aforementioned request for a Variance from Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone in that the property is already developed with structures that encroach into the required setback and that the proposed development will not further exceed the leading edge of the existing structures; and the proposed development within the existing footprint of existing structures will cause the least development impact onsite and to surrounding properties; B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question due to the existing topography that make it difficult to comply with the City of Rolling Hills Municipal Code’s development standards; C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity in that the proposed development will comply with the required building code, will not have adverse visual impact to adjacent properties and is in keeping with the character and scale of the community; D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed in that the proposed development does not prevent anyone from enjoying their property rights, the improvements are visually harmonious with adjacent properties and in scale with adjacent residential development; E. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant in that the proposed addition is in character and similar in scale with existing residential development and the applicant will have the opportunity to enjoy the same amenities enjoyed by other residents in the community; F. That 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. The proposed location of the project will not be sited near hazardous waste facilities and is surrounded by residential land use; and G. That the variance request is consistent with the general plan of the City of Rolling Hills in that the applicant will enjoy the same rights that residents in the community enjoy, the proposed improvements are in character and scale as the existing neighborhood, it preserves the rural character of the City. Section 6. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code require a Conditional Use Permit for a project a mixed use structure pursuant to RHMC Section 17.16.040(A)(3) subject to certain conditions pursuant to RHMC Section 17.16.210(A)(6). The project proposes to convert and existing stable to mixed use structure consisting of a 785 square foot office with restroom and 794 square foot recreation room. The Planning Commission makes the following findings: 59 3 Resolution 2021-05 15 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road (Sermon) A. That the proposed conditional use (a mixed use structure) is consistent with the General Plan. The mixed use structure consisting of 785 square-foot office with restroom and 794 square-foot recreation room and sports court are consistent with similar uses in the community and is a permitted use with a CUP. Although the mixed use structure requires a variance to allow it in the side yard setback, the positioning of the mixed use is already within the stable’s existing footprint. Therefore, it will not exceed the existing outermost configuration of the structures on the lot and will minimize the amount of disturbance on the lot. Further, adequate area remains on the property to construct a stable and corral in the future. Lastly, the proposed sports court will be surrounded by additional landscaping, which will minimize visual impact from public view. B. That the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, building or structures. The mixed use structures will be on a lower pad than the residence but is higher than the adjacent road elevation and is and is almost 200 feet from nearest residence. Due to the existing development, location, and configuration of the residence, the Applicants are limited in where a sports court could be constructed. In addition, the mixed use structure blend already exists and is in the scale of the existing development in the neighborhood. C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the uses proposed. The mixed use structure will be housed an existing stable that will be converted. The additional 741 square-foot addition will not exceed the existing outermost walls of the stable. Pad No. 3 will not need to be expanded to accommodate the required uses, it is the only area that will cause the least disturbance to the natural terrain of the site. There is no other location to place the proposed sports court onsite without causing significant change to the current terrain. D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district. The mixed use structure complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district as approved by this Resolution. Although the mixed use structure requires a variance to allow it in the side yard, the positioning of a majority of the mixed use structure will be located within the existing stable. Therefore, it will not change the existing configuration significantly and will minimize the amount of disturbance on the lot. The proposed location of the sports court is within the boundaries of an existing corral. Thus, the project causes minimal impact to the previously disturbed site. E. 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 because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of this title. The construction of the sports court, and conversion and addition to the stable allows the Applicants the ability to enjoy rights enjoyed by other residents in the City. Construction of the sports court in the side yard setback, allows the Applicants to minimize the amount of grading on the lot. Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance and Conditional Use Permit request in Zoning Case No. 21- 04 for 1) encroachment into the side yard setback for the proposed 741 square-foot addition to the existing stable and 6,384 square-foot sports court and 2) exceeding total building pad coverage; and Conditional Use Permit for the mixed use office and recreation room, and sports court, subject to the following conditions: 60 4 Resolution 2021-05 15 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road (Sermon) A.
