IN THE FRONT YARD OF THE PROPERTY IN ZONING CASE NO. 922
AT 0 POPPY TRAIL, (LOT 90-BA-RH), (�ERPA).
A MI'TIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATTON {MND) FOR THE
PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PROJECT WAS ADOPTED ON OCTOBER 5,
2010 AND AMENDED ON FEBRUARY 11, 2021. AN ADDENDUM TO
THE MND REFLECTING THE CURENTLY PROPOSED
M�DIFICATION TO DISTURBANCE OF THE LOT HAS BEEN
PREPARED PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA) REQUTAEMENTS.
THE PLANNING COMMZSSION DOES HERESY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Serpa for
construction of a new 4,859 square foot residence and 1,232 square foot garage, 1,000
square feet covered porches, a 560 square foot swimtning pool and spa, with addi�ional
amenities such as a 54 square feet gatehouse and 22Q square foot outdoor covered
kitchen; Conditional Use Permit for b88 square foot guesthouse and Variances to a�Iow
for par�ial constxuction of the outdoor amenities in the front yard area, for a privacy
wall tha� exceeds 5' in heighf anci to exceed the previous�y approved disturbance of the
Iot. Grading of 2,72b cubic yards, which includes grading for a future stable and corral
is also proposed.
Section 2. On March 5 of 2005, a Iandslide occurred on praperty Iocated at 1
Poppy Trai1 Road and terminated just below the roadway easement for Poppy Trail
Road. The landslide buried a portion of Poppy Trail Road, which was the sole mean� of
ingress and egress for nine residential Iots. The dirt movement affected two adjacent
lots. During the remediation process through several lot line adjus�hnents between the
affected parcels, two lots were created 0 Poppy Trail and 1 Poppy Trail. Currently both
lots are vacant; however 0 Poppy Trai1 is ready for development and is subject of his
Resolu�ion.
Following the landslide, the City of Rolling Hills and the Rolling Hzlls
Community Association undertook various improvements and, between April and
�ctober of 2010, detailed project plan5 were developed for remed'zation of the faited
slope. In connection with the Landslide Remediation Project, the property owner

prepared an Initial Study and determined that, with the impleanentation af mitigation
measures, no negative effect on the environment would result. Therefore, an M�TD was
prepared and on October 4, 20�0, the City Council approved and adopted the MND. A
first amendment to the MND was adopted by the Plaruung Commission on February
15, 2011 and reported fo the City Cauncil. In 2010 several discretionary approvals were
granted in for the landslide remediation project, including a variance to dist�.rb 65% of
the net Iot area of what is now Q Poppy Trail Road. Pursuant to an updated survey of 0
Poppy Tra.i1 Road, the �xisting disturbance is actually �8.95%. There i.s na additional
disturbance planned for the proposed project at 0 Poppy Trail Road; any slight grading
that wi11 be conducted in cannection with the proposed project at 0 Poppy Trai� Road
consists of smoothing and evening out the existing building pad. Tn order fo approve
the overage of the disturbance of the lot, an addendum to the �ViND and its addendum
has been prepared. The overall purpose of this Second Addendum is to modify the
minor technical discrepancy between the approved disturbance percentage (65%) and
the actual disturbance percentage (78.95%} for 0 Poppy Trail. This change xs clerical and
there£ore it will not cause new signi.ficant impacts not identified in the previously
ce�tified MND or result in a substantial. increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impacts related to the Landslide Remediation Project.
Section 2. The P1aYULing Comxnission conducted duly noti.ced public hearings
to consider the applica�ion at thez�r regular meeting on June 20, 2017,July 1$, 2Q17 and at
a field trip on July 18, 2017. N�ighbors within 1,OQ0-foot radius were notified o£ the
public hearings and a notice was published in the Penznsula News on Ju1y 6, 2017. The
applicants ax�d their agents were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class
mail and the applicants and agents wex�e in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was
heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from
members of the City staff and the Plannxng Commission having reviewed, analyzed and
studied said proposal. The applicants' representatives were in attendance at the public
hearings. �ne neighbor inquired about drainage on the property.
Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and t].ie gross lot area is 4.08 acres. For
development p�rposes the net lof a7rea of fhe lot is 117,80Q square feet or 2.7 acres. The
Iot contains a building pad, previously created as well as a driveway to fihe bui�ding
pad. A portion of Poppy Trail :roadway easement traverses the Iot, as weli as an
easement for a driveway leading to the lot to the southeast of 0 Poppy Trai1, {1 Poppy
Trail), A small porkion of Georgeff Trail is also located on the lot. The area across Poppy
Trai� (to the north-east of the road) has been designated as an easement fo the RHCA.
That portion of the �ot includes access to the Hesse's Gap riding ring and has also been
designated as ecologically sensitive area.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the development project is
exempf from the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA) p�rsuant to Section
15303 (new construction of single family resider�ce and accessory structures), and
Section 15061(b)(3} {common sense exemption) of the CEQA guidelines.

Section 5. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for
Szte Plan Review and approval before any grading requixing a grading permit or.any
new building or structure may be constructed. The new development requires a Site
PIan Review. With respect to the Site Plan £or the deveiopment the Plar�ning
Cammission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compa�ib�e wi�t the General Plan, the
Zoning Qrdinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structures comply with
the General P1an requirement of low profile, Iow-density resxdential development with
sufficient open space be�ween surrounding structures and maintaining sufficient
setbacks to provide buffers between residential uses. The net lot area of the lot is over 2
acres and the lot is adjacent to other large lots along Poppy Trail. A building pad has
been created as a result of grading for slope remediation and �he applicants will utilize
that pad for �he constructi.on. An area for a fizture stable and corral was also previously
approved for this �ot to be located in the front yard of the lot. None of the propased
sixuctures are in setbacks.
B. The project substantially preserves fihe natural and undeveloped state o£
the Zot by mulimizing building coverage. The topography and the configuration of �he
lot have been considered, and it was dete�mined that the proposed developmenf w�ill
not adversely affect or be materially detrin�ental to adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures, because the proposed project will be constructed in its entirety on the
existing building pad, will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be
screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so tha� it will not impact the vi�w or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and
will allow the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the
rights of surrounding praperty owners. The propased project is located on an already
developed building pad leavzng the steeper and more densely vegetated areas in their
existing state and the drainage course will not be affected.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, and is consistent wi�h the scale of the neighbox�hood when compared
to new residences in the vicinity of said lot. The development plan takes into
consideration the views from Portuguese Bend Road and the development wi1l be
moved back from the Raad, so that views from the road will not be blocked.
Sig�iificant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. Tr►e project will be screened
from the road and a11 neighbars, and the project in general will retain the existing slopes
and vegetation and not affect the lower portion, that was designated as Ecologi.cally
Significant Area.
D. T'he development plan will introduce additional laxidscaping, which is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and the
landscaping will provide a buffer or transi�ion area between privafe and public areas.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental. to the
convenience and safefy of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the new 15'

driveway, approved by the Fire Departrnent, will be safe to drive on as two cars can
safely pass one another. There is ample parking in the garages and in the fiurn around
area at the front of the house, outside of all setbacks, so all visitors paxking will be
contained on site.
F. The project is exempt from the requirements of tlie California
Environrnental QuaZity Act pursuant to Section 15303.
Section 6. Sec�ion 17.16.21Q (A)(5) of the Zorung Ordinance contains
conditions for a guesthouse, subject to approval of a conditional use permit. The
proposed guesthouse structure complies with the provisions of this section. With
respect to thi.s request tor Conditional Use Permits, the Planning Commission finds as
follows:
A. Condi�ionally permitted uses are not outrxght pe�mitted by fhe Rolling
Hills Municipal Code. The Commission must considex applicatzons for a Conditional
Use Permit and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a
conditiorial �se which will not jeopardi�e, adverse�y affect, endanger or to otherwise
constifiu�e a menace to the public heaTth, safe�y or general welfare or be materially
detrimentai to the property of other pexsons Iocated in the vicinity of such use.
B. The g7ranting of a Conditional Use Permit for the guest house would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan
because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and meets all the
applicable code development standards for sueh use and it is located in an area on the
property thaf is adequately sized to accommodate such use, and on an existing building
pad. The praposed use is appropriately located in that zt will be sufficiently separated
from nearby structures. The proposed guesthouse is a common amenity fo Rolling Hills.
�. The nature, candiiior�, an� developmenf of adjacent strucfiures have been
considered, and the project w�11 not adversely affect or be ma�erially detrimental to
these adjacent uses, bu�ldings, or structures because the proposed use (guest house) is
located af sufficient distance froan nearby residences so as to not impact the view or
privacy of surrounding neighbors. As part o� the approval, a condition is irnposed that
the guesthouse not be rented and not be Iocated within �0-feet of a driveway or a
parking pad.
D. The project zs harmonious in scale and mass with �ie site, the natural
�errain, and surrounding residences because the proposed use complies with the low
profile residential development pattern of the community and will not give the
property an over-bui�t look. Sufficient areas of the lot will remain open and
unobstructed. The Iot is over 2 acres net in size, but over 4 acres gross in size, and is
sufficiently Iarge to accommoda�e the proposed use.
Reso.2017-12 4
0 Poppy Trail.
E. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district and requixes Conditional Use Perrnits pursuant to Section
17.16.21Q(A)(5) of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The proposed conditional use i.s consistent with the portions o£ the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to sifing criteria for
hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not Iis�ed on the current Stafe of
Califoz�ztia Hazardous iNaste and Substances Sites List.
Secfiion 7. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.05Q of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance when exceptional or exiraordinary circumstances applicable to the property
and not applicable to other simiiar properties in the same zone prevent the owner from
making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in
the same vianity. Variances £rom Section 17.16.07'0{B}, Section 17.12.250 "Y" and Section
17.16.T90(F) is required because it states that the lot disturbance shall be linuted �0 40%
of the net lot area; that there shall be no structures within the front yard of a property
and that the ma�mum permitted height of walls sha11 not exceed 5`. The applicant is
requesttinng Variances because total d.i,sturbance will be 78.95% of the net lot area; a
portion of the outdoor amenities will be located in�he front yard of the lot and an up to
6' high privacy wall is proposed along a patio of the residence. The approval of the
variance for lot disturbance variance of
With respect to this request £or Variances, the Plaruzing Commission finds as
follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary aircumstances and condi�ions
app�icable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other
property in the same zane because, unlike most other properties in this zone, there was
a 1andslide on the property, which was remecliated but required greater than 40% of the
lot to be disturbed, and 65% disturbance was approved prior to remediation. This
calcula�ian dici not take into consideration the graded areas of the Io� which were not
affected by the landslide and were therefore not remediated or the area of the Iot
necessary to grade for a futu�re s�able and corral, which was also not affected by the
lands�ide. Pursuant to an updated survey of 0 Poppy Trail Road, the existing
disturbance xs ac�ually 78.9�%. There is no additiona� disturbance planned for the
proposed pxoject at Q Poppy Trail Road; any slight grading that will be conducted in
connection with the proposed project consists of smoothing and evening out the
existing building pad. All of the areas of the lot where grading or remediation took
place were reviewed by geotechnical, soils and civil engineer consultants priox to any
grading being implemented, and is substantiated in the geotechnical reports that are on
file at City HaII. The &�% r�ported in the ariginal project application for the landslide
remediation was a numerical error.
During remediation of the Iot, a building pad was developed towards the rear of
the properky, on which the proposed construcfion will take pace. The minor amenities, a
portion of which would be located in front ot the leading edge of the residence are
appropriately spaced and located on the lot. Due to the limited size of the building pad
axea, which may not be enlarged, those amenities are located in the most Iogical space

on the pad. The privacy wall wilI not exceed 6' in height, (whereas 5' high maximum
wall would be allowed wifhout a Variance} and is b' for a short distance to encompass a
small pafiio adjacent to the master bathroom. With a residence located on an adjacent Iot
above the subject building pad for the new residence, it is feasible that wathout the 6'
privacy wall, the master bathroom would be visible from the lot above.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicixuty and zone,
but which would be denied to the property in question. The landslide has resulted in
the need to remediate and stabilize the lot, which caused greater than allowed
disturbance of the Iof. T'he property owner is not proposing to grade additional area of
the lot, except that slight grading will be required if in fhe #uture a stable and corral
were to be proposed. The dirt movement for the curren�ly proposed development
entails smoothing out the existin� previously graded pad to leve� it off and get it ready
for construction. The proposed amenities arid wall are a very minor element of fihe
project and are app:ropriately located.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detr�mental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinifiy and zone
in which the property is located. T'he proposed development proposes to utilize the
previously approved grading for slope stability, which augmented and corrected a
landslide condition. The proposed development will not affect the previously approved
grading and disturbance for slope stability dxainage, and buttressing o£the slopes. The
proposed ameni�ies and wall will not be detrunental., as they are a very small port'tan of
the development and Iocated on an existing building pad, where no other grading or
disturbance will be undertaken.
D. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of �he Zonzng Code will be
observed, and the variance does not grant special privilege to the app�icant because the
remediation of Iandslides improved the safety and beauty of the land; but exceeded the
maximum permitted disturbance. The addi�ional disturbance is a minor techni.cal
discrepancy between the approved distu.rbance percentage (65%} and the actual
disturbance percentage (78.95%). This change is clerical and therefore it does not cause
new significant impacts or grant special privilege to the applicant. The additional
previously non-reported distzzrbance does not affect the area of previous remediation
and stability of the remediated slopes. The outdoor ameni.ties and the privacy wall are
common amenities enjoyed by many properties in the City.
F. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities because there are no hazardous waste facilities at issue in this case.
G. The variance request i� consistent wi�h the General P1an. The proposed
project, together with the variances, will be compatible with fihe objectives, policies,
general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan.
Section S. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Cominission
hereby approves Zoning Case No. 922 request for a Site Plan Review for minor grading
(2,72b cubic yards, which includes grading of the set aside area for a £uture stable and
corral) and construction of a new 4,859 square #oot residence and 1,232 square foot
