Sec�.�n 5. The property is zoned i�AS-1 and the lot area exciu�ing the roadway easement is 1.1� acres. For development purposes the net Iot area of the Iot is 39,�95 square feet. �'he Iot is developed with a 3,920 square foot residence wi�h attached 490 square foot garage, 3b$ s�uare foot basement, porches and bar�equ� area. An existing basement andr a 3aQ t�esQ��tron.No. 2Q 17-OS 2 square foot enlargement of the patio by the existing basement area at the narth side of the house were approved administratively in 2010. Section 6. The Planning Commission finds that the pro�ect qualifies as a Class 4 �xemption(State of CA Guidelines,Section Z5304- Minor Land Alteration} and is therefore categorically exempt from environrnenta].review under the Calif�rnia Environmental Quality Act. Sect�on 7. Section 17.46.030 requires the submission of a development plan for site plarp revie� and a�proval before any development requixing a grading permit or the �orzs�ruct�on Qf any h��a��di��Qr�tru�t�sre. Vljith re��rect tQ fhe Site Plan for fhe as built retauting wall i.n the side yard se�baek; tl�e grading to retain the graded pa�is; the construction of the b�sement; the demolition of the barUecue area arad removal of the barbecue; and the reconstruction of the slope behind the existing barbecue, tYte Planning Commission makes the f�llowing�indings of fact: A. T�1e proposed development is compat�ble vvith the C�eneral L'lan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the as built/as graded and the proposed development comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low-density resxdential development with sufficient open space between surrounding struc�res. The size of the as built elements and proposed development will no� exceed the maximum permitted development standards on the lot, except for the disturbance of the Iot. The proposed project is se��ra�d. ��m ��.e road and adjac�r�t n�ig�bc�rs �c rec�uee t�e visua� in�pac� of the �eveiopment. '�he proposed remediation of the szde slope is necessary to prevent furt�er sloughing of the slope an� damage to the property. The proposed retaining wa�l and grading alon� the south side ya�rd is necessary to repair a ruptured storm dr�in pipe to assure health and safety of the �roperty and 'ats �esidents. The illegal barbeq�e area wi�l be remediated and brought to the ��iginal condition, �erefore restoring the natural terrain of �haf portion of fihe Iot. �. The tog�graphy and the eonfiguration of the Io� 1'�as been cor�idered, anc� �t was c�eterminecl that �he "a� gx�acied" eondition will not adverse�y affeet or be rr�aterially c�ef�i�nental to a�.ja�en� �:ses, b�i�dings, a� s��ctures because �ie developrnen� is harmonious :n s�� and m.ass w�t� th� site, �ie na�raT �erraix� anc� surrounc�ing residences because �e wa�Is w�li no�exceecl 3' in I�eig�lt of exposecl area above grad�, are loc�ted along paths leading to the �ower portion of the lot a�a �ower elevation of the lot, and will integrate into the natural terrair. a�d faLaw t�e nat-�zral cantours of t�e site and �e �vall along the path will �eta.in a sld�e �Q prevenf erQ�ior� �nd sloughing �f the dir� ab�ve it. The area �vil� be sc�eened and �an�tscape� with trees an� sl�rubs, are of sr�ffgcient disfance from nearby residences so that ��y will not impact the view or p�ivacy �f surrot�r�c�ir�g�eigh.bors, and will permit ti�e ovvners to enjc�y�heir property �ithou�dele�erious �nfringement on�he rights of s�zrrounding property �wners. C. The developn�en�plan substar�tially preserves the natural and undeveloped state o€ the lot by mi.nimizing bui�ding coverage because th� development will not cause the lot fo Iaok ov�rdeve�c�ped. Significar�f portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The project is Iocated i� the rear �f t�e �xisting resic�ence and will be further screened from neighbors by Resolution No. 2017-0� 3 introducing landscaping between the terraced paths and remediated slopes. The as built and proposed elements are minor and will not affect the scale of the existing development on the lot. D. It shall be required that the development plan introduce drought-tolerant landscaping, which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the comm�.nity, and the landscaping will provide a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. E. The development is sensitive and not detrimental ta the convenience and sa�e�ty ��' circula�ion for pedesi�ian� and veh�cles because it daes not affect or change the exisfing access to the x�roperty. F. The project is exempt from the requirex�ents of the Ca�ifornia Environmental Quality Acf. Section 8. The appiicant seeks a variance from the 40% maximum dishzrbed area standard set forfh in �v^�or�. 17a1b.070, as well from �ront and side �a:rd setbac�� for the basement and retaining wall as set forth in Secti�s� �7�I�.�6� �f the Rolling Hills Municzpal Code. Sections 17.38.010 tlirough 17.38.050 of the Code permit approval of a variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when, due to exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applxcable to the propex~�y and not applicable to other similar propex�ies in the same zone, strict application of the Code would deny the proper�r ov,mer substantial gr��y �igl�� enjQy�d �y �t�er properfies tn tt�e same vicinity anc� zone. V1Tith respect to �his request for variances for 48.8% distiarbance of the net Iot area, to encroach with the �asement into the front s�tback and with retaining wa11 into the side setback, the Pianning Commzssion finds as follows: A. ��ere are �xc�g�ional axtd extraordin.ary�ircumstances and eonditions applicable ta the proper�r or ta t�e intended use that do nQ� apply generally to other propex�ies in the s�.m� �c�r�e b�ca�sP �� tc��ograph�c �a��r� �af f�+� s��eEt �r�pext�,T ;s such t.hat the slopes '�el�ind �e� ox� t�e side c€ ��e residence �nd �e graded �a�.�s must be re-graded �o repair a fai�ed. s1�pe �nd �o reconstruct a rupi�ure� c�.�airt pipe. As a condition of this Resolution, the g�°a�ir�g�r�IP �or�ply �ui�� .I appl�ca�le �evelapmerit staa�dards of the Building Code. Per the Zcxung �r�ir�an�e, s�ch grac�rng af slc�pes i5 c�nside�ed �isturbanee and when added to the exisfing di��.irbance �he total �isturbance would be 48.8%. Additionally, due fo the con#'xg�:ration of the pr�perty and location of the exisiing residence in the front setback, the v�a�osea�basement�rould be iQcated unde�the existing residence in the front setback and will r�� e v'rsi�al� from �z� o�afsi�e of the re�z�ence. 'These factors and nature of tlie lot make it u�teasiLle fi�cc�mpZy st-�icfily�vifi��Sections 17.16.064 and�7.16.07Q. B. '�e �larzance is ne�essary �or the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial properi�r right �aossessed by other prop�rty iz�the same vi�i�ify an� zone, but which is denied fa �t� grop�rfy in c�uestion because the n�ethod of c��struction, previotzs failure of �ie draan pfpe and the s�ope and the �ocation of the residence in the front setback has an impact on the d'z�turbed area, and encroachment into th� setback with the basemen�. �esolution No. 2Q 17-OS 4 C. The granting af the Variance would nat be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious �o the property o� irnprovements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is Iocated. The proposed development proposes to unprove slope sfability, repair a ru�tured drain pipe and correct the existing water flow pattern, which will be bene£icial. to the properiry owner as well as the neighboring properties. D. The purpose of the Zoning Qrdinance is to regulate developmen�t in an orderly fashion and in a manner consisfent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. Approval �f the variance will not ixnpede any goals o� the Zoning 4�rdinance or the General Plan. �af�i��, th� variance will allovv t�e properEy owner �o enjoy the same rights and privxleges afforded fio o��r pr��ae�� v�ers in the vicinity. '£he averag� reqt�ested is mos'�y due t� the topog�raphy and nature �f �e �ot and is required in order to repair a dangerous condition, and there€ore doe�not ur_dexmine the spirit or intent of the Zoning�rdinance. E. The variance do�s not grant special privilege to the applicant, as the gradirig is nec�ssary to comply with the city's requirements and grading standards of the Building Code. F. The variance is c�nsistent with the partions of the County of x os �igeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria f�r hazax�dous waste facilities because there is no hazardous waste facilities at issue in this case. Section 9. Based upon the fox�egoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Plarming Cornmission hereby grants app�aval o� a Site ��an Re�iew anc� Variances �n �on�ng �as�IVo. 916,wi�ii.the foliowing conditi.ons: A.
