A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN
REVIEW APPROVAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 417
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
r...� FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
C� Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. Kent
Browning with respect to real property located at 64 Saddleback Road,
V Rolling Hills (Lots 7-RH and 1-A-RH) requesting site plan review
approval for a proposed, detached garage/stable structure,
residential addition, and relocated pool on the site.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly
noticed public hearing to consider the application on January 16,
1990 and February 20, 1990; and conducted a field site review on
February 10, 1990. The Planning Commission approved the Site Plan
Review by Resolution
Section 3. The City Council voted to hear the
application at their meeting of April 17, 1990, and conducted a duly
noticed public hearing to consider the application on April 23, 1990
and April 30, 1990. A field site review was conducted on April 30,
1990.
Section 4. Section 17.34.010 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 may be made which involve
changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building or
structure by more than twenty-five (25%) percent in any thirty-six
(36) month period.
fact: Section 5. The Council makes the following findings of
A. The proposed development 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 151,685 square
feet. The residential structure, garage/stable
structure and relocated swimming pool have 8,529
square feet which constitutes 5.6% of the lot, which
is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved
areas and driveway will be 28,194 square feet which
equals 18.6% of the lot, which is within the 35%
maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The
proposed project is similar and compatible with
neighboring development patterns.
B. The proposed development 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) because the proposed development will be
constructed generally on the existing flatter area of
the lot where the current stable has existed and will
be demolished, and which requires minimal grading.
The proposed project will not disrupt mature trees and
other existing natural landforms on the site.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the
site to minimize grading because all drainage flow
from the site will be channeled into existing drainage
courses to the canyon.
D. The development plan preserves surrounding native
vegetation of the site and supplements it with
landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the
rural character of the community.
E. The development plan substantially preserves that
natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing
building coverage because the construction will not
impact most of the lot area and will occur within the
existing flatter area of the lot where the current
stable exists and will be demolished.
F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and
surrounding residences because the structures will be
developed on over a three -acre parcel of land and will
have a lower structural lot coverage than other
residential developments in the one -acre zone.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not
detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation
for pedestrians and vehicles because the existing
driveway entry will not be changed and the project
will have the required setbacks from the roadway and
easements.
H. The project conforms with
California Environmental
.categorically exempt from
the requirements of the
Quality Act and is
environmental review.
