THE CITY COUNCIL 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. William Hassoldt with respect to real property at Lot 85-RH, and currently known as 10 Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills, requesting to modify certain conditions of approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 21400. Tentative Parcel Map No. 21400 was approved by the City Council by Resolution No. 748 on August 22, 1994. This tentative parcel map involves the subdivision of a 7.826 acre existing lot that has one residential unit into three single-family residential lots fronting the western side of Pine Tree Lane. The conditions of approval now proposed for modification relate to the location of the proposed cul-de-sac bulb, other roadway improvements to Pine Tree Lane, and a request to extend the expiration date of the Tentative Parcel Map by five (5) years. Section 2. On June 17, 1997, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 97-15 recommending that the City Council approve modifications to the previously approved subdivision. The Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing on April 15, 1997 and May 20, 1997, and at a field trip visit on May 17, 1997. During the hearing process, information was presented indicating the intent of the applicants to construct a cul-de-sac bulb at the terminus of Pine Tree Lane on Parcel 3 of the subject property as an alternative to constructing that bulb on property that is not the subject of this Tentative Parcel Map located at 16 Pine Tree Lane (Lot 81-RH) and required to satisfy previously approved conditions of Tentative Parcel Maps involving properties located at 7, 10, and 16 Pine Tree Lane (Lots 86-RH, 85-RH and 81-RH, respectively). Section 3. The City Council considered this item at a public hearing on June 23, 1997, July 14, 1997, July 28, 1997, and at a field trip visit on July 24, 1997. Section 3. 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 regarding the proposed modifications during the public hearings referenced in Section 3, including public testimony and written and oral staff reports, the City Council finds as follows: A. The proposed subdivision map and the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision as modified is 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.) Resolution No. 825 -1- 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 as modified are permitted in the RA -S-2 zone. Parcel 1 is 2.07 acres net, Parcel 2 is 2.07 acres net, and Parcel 3 is 2.01 acres net. All proposed lots exceed the minimum 2 -acre lot size of the RA -S-2 zone. C. The design of the subdivision and proposed modifications are 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 as modified are not likely to cause serious public health problems because conditions of 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 as modified 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 as modified will not adversely affect the housing needs of the region. G. The proposed use as modified will be in substantial compliance with the provisions of the Residential Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance. H. The proposed use as modified will be compatible with other existing residential development in the immediate area. I. The tentative map design as modified 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. J. The tentative map as modified 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. K. Pursuant to Section 66474.6 of the Subdivision Map Act, the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision as modified 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 11 of Resolution No. 748. L. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.155, this Tentative Parcel Map as modified is consistent with, and does not impact, the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Section 4.
