It is with great sadness the #LACoFD shares the active-
duty death of Fire Fighter Specialist Jeffrey Windle on
Sunday, March 26, 2023. Fire Fighter Specialist Windle
faithfully served the Fire Department for 22 years and was
last assigned to Fire Station 56 in the City of Rolling Hills.
To ensure the proper care and support of the Windle

Marrone has activated their chaplains, peer support, and
memorial management teams.
Fire Station 56 and Specialist Windle supported the Rolling
Hills Block Captain Program on wildfire mitigations and
education within our community. We will miss Jeffrey, his
dedication to the fire service, and lasting impacts on both
our local fire station and the greater community. RIP Fire

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Over the past few years, the State has changed the rules
on accessory dwelling units (ADUs) making it easier for
them to be built. Cities are required to update their
ordinances to make them consistent with State law.
Rolling Hills last updated its ADU Ordinance in January
2023 to bring it into compliance with the new
requirements. The recent changes allow certain ADUs to
be taller, amends front setback requirements, prohibits
cities from denying ADUs under certain circumstances,
and includes other amendments. Rolling Hills also recently
updated its Housing Element, which relies heavily on ADUs
to meet housing obligations required by the State.
Although ADU requirements are getting easier, many
applicants find it expensive to upgrad e septic systems,
install utility services, and improve driveway access. The
South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG)
has prepared an ADU Calculator
(southbaycities.aducalculator.org) to help estimate
costs, however, each property is different so there may
be costs not factored into the ADU Calculator. If you are
interested in building an ADU and have question on the
City’s requirements, please contact the Planning
Department.
