2016-11 RESOLUT�ON NO. 2Q16-11
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLrNG HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW TO CONSTRUCT
A COVERED PORCH ON A PROPERTY WITH A RESTRICTED
DEVELOP'VIENT CONDITION AT I3 OUTRIDER ROAD, (LOT 94-A-
E�, ROLLII�TG HILLS,CA, (HANG JA Y00).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FTND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Secfion 1. An applica�ion was duly filed by Ms. Hang �a Yoo with respect to
real property located at 13 Outrider, Rolling Hills, CA reques�ing a Site P1an Review to
construct a 244 square foot covered porch. There is a condition on the property from
previous approvals that any construction requires a Site Plan Review,which i.ncludes a
public hearing process.
Section 2. The Planning Cominission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
to cansider the application at a field visit on May 17, 201b and at a regular meeting of
the Planning Commission on May 17, 2016. The applicants were notified of the public
hearing in writing by £irst class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from alI
persons interested in a.ffecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the
P1aiuling Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The
applicant's representative was in attendance at the hearing.
Sec�ion 3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and cansists of 1.3 acres gross (5$,Q00
sq. ft.} and 42,176 sq. ft, net lot area for development purposes. It is a through lot,
fronting on Outrider Road and Eastfield Drive. The building pad and residence are
Iocated on a kxioll towards the lot's rear. 'Phe property is acce5sed from Outrider Road
via a long, cuxving driveway. Once construction is completEd the property wi11 be
developed with a 3,252 square foot residence, 435 square £oot garage, 376 square foot
covered porch and 553 square foot swimming pool with pool equiprnent area and 5
parking spaces. The disturbed area is noncoxiforming at 51.4% of the net lot area and
will no�increase with this proposal.
Section 4. In 2009 the applicants SuhrnittPd an appl.ication to add 629 square
feet, maznly under the existing roofline, which would routinely be approved
administratively. No grading was proposed. However, because, pursuant to the
Zoning Ordinance, any addition�equires that a stable/corra� be constructed or an area
for a future stable/corral be set-aside on the property, the owner concurrently filed an
application for a Variance to waive the stable and corral requirement due to the
sloping conditions and the fact that the residential pad is at the rear, leaving
insufficient area for a conforrning stable and corral without significant grading. The
Reso.2016�11
13 Outrider 1
Planning Commission granted the Variance, thereby waiving the requirement to set
aside an area for future s�able and corral construction (Resolution 2009-04).
In 2015 by a Resolution No. 2015-23 the property owners obtained a Site Plan Review
approval to constr�uct a 245 square foot addition to the residence, a 96 square foot pool
equipment area, grading for 5 guest parking space adjacent to fhe driveway; and
variances to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area o£the Iot (51.4%}, to locate
the pool equipment in the front yard area of the site ar�d to locate a portion of a not to
exceed 36" high retaining wall in the north side yard setback.
The stable set aside Variance remained in effect for thi.s proposal. A "No further
development without a new application for a Si�e Plan Review" was imposed on both
applications. Therefare, a Site Plan Review is required for the proposed 244 square foot
covered porch.
Section 5. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from
the provisions of the Cali£ornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA} as a minor
addifion to an existing residence pursuant to Section 15301.e of the CEQA Guidelines.
Section 6. Section 17.16.Q40C authorizes the Planx�ing Cammission to impose
a condition on a development that any future development on the 1ot shall require a Site
Plan Review. Such condition was placed on this propex�y in 20Q9 and 20�5 with the
previous approvals.
With respect to tlie Site Plan Review application to construct a 244 square foot
cave�ed poreh, the Planning Commission firids as follows:
A. The proposed development is compliant with all requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance and is compatible with the General PIan and surround7.�ng use5
because fhe proposed project is consistent with goals and policies fihat require low
profiie, low-d�nsity residential development with sufficient open space between
surrounding struchzres. The project confox�xns to Zoning Code �ot coverage
requirements. No additional disfurbance is proposed, as the proJect will be located on
previously disturbed area.
B. The development plan s�bstantially preseives the natural and
undevelop�d state of the lot by minimizing bu�ding coverage because �he project is
rela�ively small in size and will not cause the�ot to look overdeveloped.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The proposed projecf
is consisfent with the scale of developmenf in the surrounding RA-S-1 similarly zoned
neighborhood. The addition is under an existirig roof not adding to the mass and bulk of
the structu�re and the resulting residence would not cause the lot ta be overbuilt. The
Reso.2016-11
13 Outrider 2
construction will not advexsely affect or be materially detrimenfal to the adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed porch improvement will be constructed on
a porfion o£ the lot which is least intrusive to surrounding properties, has been
previoir.sly graded and disturbed (the addition) and is very minimal for the parch, and is
of sufficient distance from nearby residences that the proposed projecf will not impact
the view or privacy of neighbors.
D. The development plan generally follows natural contours o£ the site to the
maximum extent practicable to accomplish a parch to satisfy requirements of the Rolling
Hills Cornmunity Associa�ion.
E. Natural drainage courses will not be affected by the proJect. No gradi.ng
is proposed and therefore exi.sting drainage channels will not be impacted. The project
construction will not be Iocated in a canyon or on existing slopes that exceed 25%.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detximental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because no change is
proposed to the existing driveway, which zs in compliance with applicab�e
requirements.
G. The project canforms ta the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act because it is categorically exempt.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findzngs, the P�anning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No. 9D5 subject to the following
conditians:
A. The Site Plan approval shail expire within two years irom the effective
