dwellings on 2+ acre size lots. The zone designation for the subject site is RA -S-2 and the
zone designation on adjacent properties is RA -S-2.
Section 5. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application for a 2 -lot subdivision of land beginning on February 15, 1994, and
concluding with a recommendation of approval to the City Council on April 18, 1995. The
applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the
City's newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in
affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the
City staff -and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said
proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearings. On April 18, 1995, the
Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 95-8 recommending approval of the
subdivision.
Section 6. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
application on April 24, 1995, and May 8, 1995, and at a field trip visit on May 1, 1995.
Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal,
from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff and the City
Council having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants were in
attendance at the hearings.
Section 7. According to Section 16.12.110 of Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is the advisory agency for review of a
tentative parcel map and the Commission is to make its recommendations to the City
Council upon completing evaluation of all environmental proceedings pursuant to the
local guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Resolution No. 761 -1-
Section 8. On August 21, 1992, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the
project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the
environment if certain measures were included in the project. The Negative Declaration
was prepared with those mitigation measures and was circulated to the applicant and other
interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public
notice of the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative
Declaration was published on September 26, 1992. Copies of the Negative Declaration were
sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative
Declaration were received.
Section 9. The City Council has reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration and
finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in
compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the Council finds that although the proposed project
could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in
this case because mitigation measures have been added to the project, and are incorporated
herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the City Council hereby adopts the
mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality
Act.
Section 10. Pursuant to Section 16.12.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code a
tentative map shall be rejected under certain conditions. Based upon substantial evidence
presented to the City Council of the City of Rolling Hills during the public hearings
referenced in Section 6, including public testimony, and written and oral staff reports, City
Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed subdivision map and the design and improvement of the
proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable General Plan, including but not
limited to, the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
1. Maintain Rolling Hills' distinctive rural residential character. (Land Use
Element, p. 15.)
2. Accommodate development which is compatible with and complements
existing land uses. (Land Use Element, p. 15.)
3. Accommodate development that is sensitive to the natural environment
and accounts for environmental hazards. (Land Use Element, p. 16.)
4. Provide for housing which meets the needs of existing and future Rolling
Hills residents. (Housing Element, p. 44)
5. Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods in Rolling
Hills. (Housing Element, p. 44)
6. Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion,
sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin or color. (Housing Element, p. 45.)
7. Conserve and enhance the City's natural resources, facilitating
development in a manner which reflects the characteristics, sensitivities and constraints of
these resources. (Open Space and Conservation Element, p. 15.)
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development.
The proposed use, density, and proposed subdivision improvements are permitted in the
RA -S-2 zone. Parcel 1 is 2.71 acres net and Parcel 2 is 2.62 acres net which exceeds the
minimum 2 -acre lot size of the RA -S-2 zone.
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage; or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat, because the property is within an area of the City, designated for
development. The initial study prepared for the project did not identify the site as
containing unique or sensitive environmental qualities and no threatened, rare or
endangered plant or animal species were identified during review of the project.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems. The design of the subdivision and the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because conditions of
Resolution No. 761 -2-
r
1
1
approval have been applied to the project to -require compliance with applicable codes and
ordinances designed to protect public health and safety.
E. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision. This is because existing roadway easements will be maintained or
expanded by this project and adequate access will be provided to these parcels and adjacent
parcels. In addition, the parcels will contain perimeter easements providing access for
roads, trails, and public utilities. As a condition of approval, these easements will be
recorded in deeds prior to approval of the final map.
F. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the housing needs of the
region.
G. The proposed use will be in substantial compliance with 'the provisions of the
Residential Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance.
H. The proposed subdivision, as revised, is in compliance with the 407o maximum
disturbed area requirement contained in Section 17.16.070(B) of the Zoning Ordinance.
Although 50.7% of the lot will be remediated through grading and recompaction, only 407o
of the lot area will not be returned to its original state. Thus, the portion of the lot that
will be disturbed in a. permanent manner satisfies the requirement of Section 17.16.070(B).
I. The proposed use will be compatible with other existing residential development
in the immediate area.
J. The tentative map design provides for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible because the project is
designed with lots of adequate dimensions to maximize the opportunities for passive and
natural heating and cooling.
K. The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract
entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, because the
property in question has not been included in any such contract.
L. Pursuant to Section 66474.6 of the Subdivision Map Act, the discharge of waste
from the proposed subdivision into proposed septic systems will not result in violation of
existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board,
because the applicant is required to comply with all Conditions of Approval, regarding
waste disposal contained in Section 12 of this Resolution.
M. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.155, this Tentative
Parcel Map is consistent with and does not impact the County of Los Angeles Hazardous
Waste Management Plan.
Section 11. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.130, the
City Council grants the following modification to the Subdivision Ordinance for this
project which is determined to be warranted because of the size, shape and location of the
proposed division of land and the unusual physical conditions thereon:
A. Sideline Angles. Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.16.020 requires that
in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles to or
radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The sidelines on the most northerly and
southerly property lines are not at right angles to the street, Pine Tree Lane. The alteration
of the most northerly and southerly lot lines would not be practicable because they are the
boundaries of the existing lot.
B. Street Grades. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.16.150 requires
that no street shall have a grade of more than six (6) percent except for short distances
where the topography makes it impracticable to keep within such grades, and in that
event, the grade shall not exceed ten (10) percent except where evidence which is
satisfactory to the Advisory Agency is given that a lower grade is not possible. However,
the maximum permissible grade shall not exceed seventeen percent for a distance of more
than one hundred fifty feet. Proposed Pine Tree Lane has a grade beginning at Portuguese
Bend Road that varies from 5.3% for 190 feet, 10.0% for 50 feet, 12.5510 for 185 feet, 10.0510 for
50 feet, 8.3% for 220 feet, 10.0% for 100 feet, 7.4% for 135 feet, 8.3% for 120 feet, 12.57o for 81
Resolution No. 761 -3-
feet, 10.07o for 95 feet, 14.77o for 170 feet, 12.5% for 130 feet, 15.6% for 115 feet, 12.5% for 133
feet, 14.37o for 524 feet, 107o for 90 feet, 17.07o for 70 feet, 9.07o for 50 feet, and 2.7% for 50 feet
at the cul-de-sac end of Pine Tree Lane. Based upon the evidence submitted, the Planning
Commission finds that the existing topography and road makes it impossible to construct a
roadway with a maximum 10% grade unless a switchback design is incorporated which
would traverse and render undevelopable at least one lot in the proposed subdivision. The
alteration of the road to meet the minimum guidelines would also cause large amounts of
grading and would require retaining walls exceeding 5 feet along portions of Pine Tree
Lane.
Section 12. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council approves Tentative
Parcel Map No. 22334, Subdivision No. 83 in Zoning Case No. 449A, a request for a two (2)
lot subdivision of land (attached hereto as Exhibit A) subject to the modification to the
subdivision ordinance specified in Section 11 and subject to the conditions contained in
Section 13 of this resolution.
