HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
NO. 22333, SUBDIVISION NO. 85, A REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE A 5.15 ACRE
EXISTING LOT INTO TWO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS
LOCATED ALONG PINE TREE LANE, WHERE THERE IS ONE
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT 5 PINE TREE LANE IN ZONING CASE
NO. 665, (ULLRICH).
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 Dr. and Mrs. Reinhold Ullrich with
respect to real property Lot 94-RH, and generally known as 5 Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills,
requesting approval to subdivide one existing lot totaling 5.15 acres into two (2) single-family
lots. The subject property currently .has one residential development located on the proposed
Lot 1 at 5 Pine Tree Lane.
Section 2. The Los Angeles County Regional Planning Department Subdivision
Committee reviewed the application on November 4, 2002. The City received the report with
recommended conditions from the Subdivision Committee on April 25, 2003. The Planning
Commission reviewed the case at subsequent meetings beginning on June 17, 2003, and
concluding with a recommendation of approval to the City Council on October 21, 2003.
Section 3. The application applies to Lot 94-RH, which consists of 5.15 acres gross.
The lot is proposed to be divided into two parcels as follows: Parcel 1 will be 2.63 acres gross
and 2.02 acres net; Parcel 2 will be 2.52 acres gross and 2.01 acres net. Parcel one is where there
is an existing single family residential development. Lot 94-RH is within the RA -S-2 zone
district (2 -acre minimum zone), and referred to as Assessor's Book, Page, and Parcel No. 7569 -
012 -008. The General Plan Land Use designation for this property is Very Low Density
Residential 2+ Net Acres per Dwelling Unit.
Section 4. The subject site is presently occupied by one single-family residential
structure at the southwestern portion of the property at 5 Pine Tree Lane. The remainder of the
lot is presently vacant with natural vegetation in a semi -disturbed state. The site is surrounded
by other single family dwellings on 2+ acre size lots on all four sides within the City of Rolling
Hills. The zone designation for the subject site as well as on adjacent properties is RA -S-2.
Section 5. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
application on November 10, 2003, November 24, 2003, and at a field trip visit on November
12, 2003. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said
proposal, and from members of the City staff and the City.Council having reviewed, analyzed
and studied said proposal. During the public hearing process no objections were received or
voiced for this project. The applicant and applicant's representative were in attendance at the
hearings.
Section 6. The Rolling Hills Community Association Board of Directors reviewed
and approved the subject subdivision at the April 17, 2003 meeting. The approval includes a
reduction in the roadway easement from a 30 -foot roadway easement to the existing 25 -foot
roadway easement along Pine Tree Lane.
Section 7. Title 16 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code governs subdivisions.
Pursuant 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 Tract 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).
Section 8. The Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project on May 16,
2003. 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. Copies of the
Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No
comments from any agency or person(s) 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
Resolution No. 947 -1-
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 Planning Commission and City Council of the City of Rolling Hills during the public
hearings referenced in Section 2 and 5, including public testimony, and written and oral staff
reports, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed vesting tentative 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) by creating a subdivision meeting the minimum lot size standard that will
allow significant portions of the parcels to remain undeveloped thereby preserving sensitive
natural habitat and maintaining scenic vistas.
2. Accommodate development which is compatible with and complements
existing land uses (Land Use Element, p. 15) by creating a subdivision with lots that are
greater than the minimum lot size and allowing significant portions of the parcels to remain
undeveloped, preserving the City's easements and open space system, and preserving
significant areas of sensitive natural habitat and scenic vistas.
3. Accommodate development that is sensitive to the natural environment
and accounts for environmental hazards (Land Use Element, p. 16) by creating a subdivision
with lots that are greater than the minimum lot size, separating existing geological hazard
areas, and preserving significant areas of sensitive natural habitat.
4. Provide for housing which meets the needs of existing and future Rolling
Hills residents (Housing Element, p. 44) by creating a subdivision that will increase the
potential housing units available to satisfy the housing needs of the City's residents.
5. 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) by creating a subdivision with
lots that are greater than the minimum lot size.
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. The RA -S-2 Zone requires that the minimum lot size be 2 acres net. The project has
5.14 acres and creates lots with the following dimensions: Parcel 1 is 2.02 acres net, Parcel 2 is
2.01 acres net.
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
and the City's development criteria will insure that any fish, wildlife, or sensitive habitats on
the property are adequately protected. The initial study prepared for the project did not
identify the site as containing unique or sensitive environmental qualities and threatened, rare
or endangered plant species.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is 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 will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision. The existing roadway easements will be maintained or expanded by
this project and adequate access will be provided to each parcel and adjacent parcels. In
addition, each parcel created as part of. this subdivision 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.
Resolution No. 947 -2-
F. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the housing needs of the
region. In fact, the proposed subdivision will increase the potential housing units available to
satisfy the housing needs of the City's residents.
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 is in compliance with the 40% maximum disturbed
area requirement contained in Section 17.16.070(B) of the Zoning Ordinance.
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 Government Code (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 subdivider 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 Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with and does not impact the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The project will not generate any hazardous waste.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council approves Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map No. 22333, Subdivision No. 85 in Zoning Case No. 655, a request for a
two (2) lot subdivision of land (attached hereto as Exhibit A) subject to the conditions
