TI� PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Subir Chowdhury with respect to real
property located at 11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road, Rolling Hills {Lot 99-B-RI� requesting
a site plan review for overall grading of 43,220 cubic yards and construc�ion of 11,052 square
foot residence with a 1,446 square foot garage, 2,b75 square feet of covered porches, including
154 square foat Porte Cochere, 6,620 square foot basement, 1,336 square foot swimxning pool
and spa, 115 square feet service yard, and exterior features including a water feature, barbeque
and fixe pits. Approximately 1,542 cubic yards of dix� will be will be exported from the
basement and foundations. A Conditional Use Permit is requested for the construction of a 744
square foot two-story stable, which includes 240 square foot loft and 1,491 square foot corral,
an S00 square foot guest house and b,9$5 square foot tennis cour�.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to
consider the application at their regular meetings on January 17, 2017, February 21, 2Q17, and
March 21, 2017 and in the field on February 21, 2017. Neighbors within 1,000-foot radius were
notified o£the public hearings and a notice was published in the Peninsula News on December
8, 2Q16. The applicant and his agent were notified of the public heaxings in writing by first
class ma;il and the agent was in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented
from a11 person.s interested in a££ecting said proposal, including neighbors at b and 9 Upper
Blackwater Canyon Road, 1 Sagebrush Lane and xesidents of two properties on Middleridge
Lane South, and from members of the City sta£f and the Planning Commission have reviewed,
analyzed and studied said proposal.
Sectian 3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and the lot area excluding the roadway
easement is 9.2 acres. For development purposes the net lot area of the lot is 373,484 square
feet or 8.57 acres. Records show that 3,200 square foot house with 500 square foot garage was
constructed in 1951; the swimming pool, cabana and the stable were constructed in 1957. All of
�he existixig structures are proposed to be demolished.
Section 4. During the course of the review, Iocal residents expressed concerns
regarding the location o£ the proposed stable, screening for the stable, guesthouse and tennis
court elements, noise generated by the tennis court, and the drainage plan and intended
drainage course for the proposed project.
11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Rd. 1
Addressing these concerns and suggestions, the applicant revised the projecf mulfiple times in
an effort to "be a good neighbor". At the February 21, 2017 evening Planning Commission
meeting, fihe Commission requested that the following special considerations be included in
the preparation of the Resolution of approval:
• Enhanced drainage plan - Drainage plan revisions include added catch basins in
multiple locations, a secondary outfall, and rain cisterns to handle a 100 year flood
calculation.
• Changed location of the proposed stable - The stable was moved a total of 115' west
from the originally submitted plans.
• Enhanced landscape plan as noise reduction and screening measures - Landscaping
was added to the enfire Iot, not just at the rnain pad. Nat�.ral planting is proposed in the
vicinity of the tennis court and along the garage to screen thern from view. Trees were
added to screen the stable and corral and guesthouse.
• A rubberized surface for the tennis court will be used as noise reduction measure.
� The daylighted basement will have access through a stairwell and will be screened by
terraced planters. No wa11 greater than 4 feet shall be exposed in any location.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project quali£ies as a Class 3
Exemption, and is therefo;re categorically exempt from environmental r�view under the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 6. Site Plan Review-Pro osed Develo men�. Section �7.46.030 requires a
development plan to be submitted for Site Plan Review and approval before any grading
requiring grading perinit or any n�w building or struct�re �nay be constructed or any
expansion, addition, alteration or repair to exis�ing bui�dings may be made which involve
changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building ar structure by not more than 999
square feet in any thix�fy-six (36) month period. The grading for the development and the new
structures require Site Plan Review. The pool/spa requires a Si�e P1an Review due to the
grading and the size (over SOQ sq, ft. surface water area).
With respect to the Site Plan for tlie development, the P1antling Comrnission hereby
approves the request for Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No. 914 to build the proposed
projec�and makes the following findings:
A. The proposed deve�opment, which includes the resi.dence, garage, basement,
stable, guest house, tennis court, and pool, is compatible wi�h the General Plan, the Zoning
Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structures cornply with the General
Plan requirement of low prafile, low-density residential development with sufficient open
space between surrounding stxtxctures and rnaintaining sufficient setbacks to provide buffers
between residential uses. The project confor�n.s to Zoning Code setback requirements and no
variances are required for setbacks. The proposed project is screened from fhe road so as to
redu.ce the visual impact of the development.
The project conforms to Zoning Code Iot coverage requirements, including Iot dist�rbance.
The net Iof area of the lot is 3'73,484 square feet. The s�ructural r�et lot coverage is proposed at
27,277 square feet or 6.8%, which includes all of the strucfiures, with allowance for permitted
1I Upper Blackwater Canyon Rd. 2
deductions, (20% max. permitted); and the total lot caverage praposed, includxng the driveway
would be 37,337 squa�e fee� or XOA%, {3�% max. permitted). The disturbed axea of tlte Iot is
proposed to be 35.74%.
B. The project substantially preserves the nafural and undeveloped state of the lot
by minimizing building coverage. The topography and the configuration of the lot, has been
considered, and it was determined that t11e proposed development wi11 not adversely affect or
be materially detrimentai to adjacent uses, buz�dings, or structures because the proposed
construction will be constructed largely on existing building pads, and anticipated grading
will enable proposed project elements to be the Ieast intrusive to surrounding properties, be
screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that it wi11 not impact the view or privacy of surroundxng neighbors, and will
permit the owners to enjoy �ieir property without deieterious infringement an the rights of
surrounding property owners. The lot is over 9 acres in size and no more than 35.74% is
proposed to be disturbed, with the remaining of the �ot le�t in natural state. The project
promotes equesixian uses, therefore fur�hering the City's goal to remain an equestrian
community.
C. The p:roposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site, and is consisten� with tlie scale of the neighborhood when compared to new
residences in the vicinity of said lot. The development plan takes into consideration the views
from Sagebrush Lane, Middleridge Lane South and Appaloosa Lane and the residential
development pad will be sunk by approx�imately 2 feet, which will help preserve views toward
the city. The slopes are being pxeserved or rebuilt in a manner that attempts to munic the
existing slopes on the property.
Significant portians of the Iot will be left undeveloped. The pro�ect will be screened from the
road and neighbors. During the review process, at suggestions from the Planning Commission
and addressing the neighbors' concerns, the applicant is developing the property in general to
retain as much of the natural terrain as possible and not greatly affect the Iower portion of the
lot.
D. The development plan will introduce additional landscaping, which is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and the landscaping will
provide a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not deirimental to the convenience
and safety of circulation for pedesixzans and vehicles because the project will utilize the
proposed driveway as recommended for approval by the City of Roliing Hzlls Traffic
Commission. There is ample parking in the garages and there is a proposed parking pad at the
front of the house, outside of all setbacks, so all visitor parking will be contained on site. An
adequate pathway is proposed to safely accommodate horse trailers to the stable and corra�
area.
F. The project is exempt from the requirements of the Califorttia Environmental
Quality Act.

Section 7. Conditional Use Permits. Sections 17.18.060 and 17.1$.09Q of the Rollutg
Hills Municipal Code pezmit approval of a stable aver 200 square teet and corral over 550
square feet witli a Conditionai Use Perrnit. The proposed 744 square #oot stable including 240
square foot Ioft and 1,491 square foot corral comply with all requirements of these sections. An
800 square foot guesthouse is propased. Section 17.16.210 (A}(5) of the Zoning Ordinance
contains conditions for a guesthouse, s�bject to appraval af a conditional use permit. A 6,98�
square foot tennis court is also proposed. Section 17.16.210(A}(� of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code allows for the construction of a sports court with certain conditions provided the
Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit €or such use. All of the detached
structures comply with the provisions and conditions for such structures. With respect to this
request for Conditional Use Permits, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code. The Ci�y Council must cox�sider applications for a Conditional Use Permit
and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional use which will
not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a menace to the public
health, safety or general welfare or be materially detrxmental to the property of other persons
Iocated in the vicinity of such use.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the stable, corral, tennis court, and
guesthouse would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and
General Plan because the uses are consistent with sirnilar uses in the community, and meet all
the applicable code development standards for such uses and they are located in the areas on
the property that are adequately sized to accommodate such uses. The propased uses are
appropriately located in that they will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used
for habitation or containing sleeping quarters. The stab�e/corral would be constructed in
furtherance of the General Plan goal of promo�ing and encou:raging equestrian uses and the
rural, equestrian character of Rolling HiIIs. The tennis court is proposed to be Iocated on the
property so that it will be slightly recessed into the 1v11side and will be screened with shrubs
and trees. The proposed guesthouse is a cornmon amenity to Rolling Hills.
C. The nature, condition, ax�d development of adjacent structures have been
considered, and the project will not adversely affect o:r be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed uses {stable/corral, tennis court,
and guesthouse) are located in the middle of a 9.2 acre lo� and theix general location i.s of
sufficient distance from nearby residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of
surroundzng neighbors. The proposed tennis court and guesthouse will be constructed on a
portion of the secondary building pad that will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties
and wi1.I be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs and will not impact the view or
privacy of surrounding neighbors and will permit the owners to enjoy their property wi�hout
deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. The proposed stab�e is
to be Iocated adjacent to the corral. There is a path designated for equestrian uses that runs
from the stab�e to the motor court, driveway and road above and is separate from the other
outdoor living areas on the property. The 12 foat wide path will be comprised of decomposed
granite.
11 Upper Blackwater Canyon Rd. 4
D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural ferrain, and
surrounding residences because the proposed uses comply with fhe low profi�e residential
development pattern of the community and will not give the properf�y an over-built look, and
areas will remain open and unobstructed. The Iot is 9.2 acres gross in size and is sufficiently
large to accommodate the proposed uses.
The stable wi11 be compatible wi�li the uses in the sux7ounding area because Rolling Hills is an
equestrian communzty and stables are encouraged. The stable wi1l look like a stable and with
the corral will promote open space on the pad.
The guesthouse wi11 be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because it will match
the architectural design of the house and is in the side yard and is an amenity other residences
in Rolling Hills enjoy.
E. The px�oposed condi�ional uses comply with all applicable development
standards of the zone district and require Conditional Use Pexmits pursuant to Sections
17.18.060, 17.18.Q90, 17.1b.210(A)(5) and {A}{� of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting criferia for hazardous
waste facilifies because the proJect site is not listed on the c2arrent State of California
Hazardous Waste and Substax�ces Sites List.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the
City Council hereby approves Zoning Case No. 914 request for a Si�e Plan Review for the
construction of a new 11,052 square foot residence and 6,620 square foot basement, an attached
