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. Benjamin Kazarian with
respect to real property Lot 101-RH, and known as 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road,
Rolling Hills, requesting approval to subdivide one existing lot totaling 8.45 acres into two (2)
single-family lots. The subject property currently has one residential development located on
the proposed Parcel No. 1 at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road.
Section 2. The Los Angeles County Regional Planning Department Subdivision
Committee reviewed the application and the City received the report with recommended
conditions from the Subdivision Committee on September 29, 2005. The Planning Commission
reviewed the case at subsequent meetings beginning on November 15, 2005 and concluded
with a recommendation of approval to the City Council on January 17, 2006.
Section 3. The City Council conducted duly noticed public hearings in this case on
February 27, 2006, March 13, 2006, March 27, 2006, April 10, 2006, and Apri124, 2006 and at a
field trip on March 13, 2006. T'he applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by
first class mail. 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. The applicant and his representative were in attendance at the
hearings.
Section 4. Originally, the applicants requested a Variance to allow the newly created
parcel, Parcel 2, to have less than the required width along Pine Tree Lane roadway easement.
During the hearings the applicants withdrew the request for the Variance and provided 154
feet roadway easement frontage along Pine Tree Lane, which meets the requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, during the hearings, several neighbors testified against the
demonstrated driveway from Pine Tree Lane for Parcel 2. Subsequently, the applicants
illustrated an alternate driveway access from Upper Blackwater Canyon Road.
Section 5. The application applies to Lot 101-RH, which consists of 8.45 acres gross.
The lot is proposed to be divided into two parcels as follows: Parcel 1 is proposed to be 4.33
acres gross and 3.18 acres net; Parcel 2 is proposed to be 4.12 acres gross and 3.23 acres net.
Parcel one is developed with a single-family residential development and accessory structures.
Lot 101-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 -011. T'he General Plan Land Use designation
for this property is Very Low Density Residential2+ Net Acres per Dwelling Unit.
Section 6. The subject site is presently occupied by one single-family residential
structure at the eastern portion of the property at 20 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road and
accessor.y uses. The remainder of the lot is presently vacant with minimal vegetation. 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 7. The Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) Board of Directors
- reviewed and approved the subject subdivision on July 17, 2003, subject to dedication and
recordation of easements. The RHCA did not require additional roadway easements along the
three streets that this parcel is abutting.
Section 8. 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/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).
Section 9. The Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project on October 20,
2005. 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
Resolution No. 1003 -i-
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. 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 10. T'he 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 City Council finds there will not be a significant effect
in this case on the environment because mitigation measures have been added to the project,
and are incorporated herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the City Council adopts
the mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality
Act.
Section 11. Pursuant to Section 16.12.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, a
tentative shall be rejected under certain conditions. Based upon substantial evidence presented
to the Planning Commission and .City Council during the public hearings referenced in
Sections 2 and 3, 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 maintaining scenic
vistas, and allowing ample area for equestrian uses.
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 scenic vistas.
3. Accommodate development that is sensitive to the natural environment.
T'here are no environmental or geological hazards on the property. (Land Use Element, p. 16).
4. 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. T'he 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
8.45 acres and creates lots with the following dimensions: Parcel 1 is proposed to be 4.33 acres
gross and 3.18 acres net; Parcel2 is proposed to be 4.12 acres gross and 3.23 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 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 or in conjunction with the approval of the final map, to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.
Resolution No. 1003 -2-
F. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the housing needs of the
region.
G. The future use, when constructed, will be in substantial compliance with the
provisions of the Residential Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance, as
it will be subject to a Site Plan Review process.
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 future 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 as required by the Health Department.
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.
N. The pad size and location, driveway location and anticipated grading quantities
shown on the Tentative Parcel Map are illustrative only, and
not a part of the Map approval. All are subject to review and revision
through Site Plan Review process, and subject to all other applicable
requirements of the Zoning and Building Ordinances. This approval does not guarantee any
rights to the subdivider to improve Parcel No. 2 as depicted on the parcel map.
Section 12. 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 and number of resulting parcels of the
proposed division of land and the existing physical conditions in the area:
A. Roadway Easement along Pine Tree Lane: The Rolling Hills Municipal Code
Section 16.16.090 requires that easements or right-of way for all streets shown on any map
shall be not less than 60 feet in width. Currently Pine Tree Lane roadway easement along the
proposed subdivision is 50 feet wide. Most of the side residential streets in the City have a
roadway easement of 50 feet or less. The Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) upon
approval of this subdivision did not require additional easements or require that the property
owners along Pine Tree Lane widen the road. Pine Tree Lane is a pre-existing and developed
street. In the past it has been established through several subdivisions approved northwest of
subject project along Pine Tree Lane, that the paved, drivable area of the roadway be 18 feet in
width. It is not practicable to require additional roadway easement on one side of the street, if
the paved area is not planned to be widened and the Rolling Hills Community Association did
not require additional roadway easement.
Section 13. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council approves Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map No. 27078 Subdivision No. 90 in Zoning Case No. 717, (attached hereto
as Exhibit A), a request for a two (2)-lot subdivision of land, subject to the following
