Agenda Item No.: 9.A Mtg. Date: 06/17/2025 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: REINA SCHAETZL, WILDAN CONSULTANT PRINCIPAL PLANNER THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 24-043: SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RESIDENCE, NON-EXEMPT GRADING, STABLE ACCESS, WALLS EXCEEDING A HEIGHT OF 3 FEET AND 2.5 FEET AVERAGE (UP TO A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 5 FEET), AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS; CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR A DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURE GREATER THAN 200 SQUARE FEET, STABLE GREATER THAN 200 SQUARE FEET; AND VARIANCES FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE FRONT YARD, SITE DISTURBANCE OF MORE THAN 40 PERCENT, AND FILL SLOPES STEEPER THAN 2:1, AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FOR THE LOCATION AT 6 CHUCKWAGON ROAD, ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (LOT 29-A- EF) (LEE) DATE: June 17, 2025 BACKGROUND: This item was continued from the April 15, 2025 and May 20, 2025 Planning Commission (Commission) meetings. To avoid redundancy, the staff reports for those meetings are included as Attachments 6 and 7, respectively. At the April 15 evening meeting, the project was continued due to a public noticing discrepancy identified during the morning field trip. At the May 20 morning field trip and evening meeting, the applicant’s team was present to answer questions, and the public was given the opportunity to provide testimony during the evening session. This staff report outlines items pending further discussion that were raised at both the April 15 and May 20 meetings. These items include: Size of Home/Neighborhood Compatibility 12

The proposed home is 6,939 square-feet with a 2,877 square-foot basement, a 790 square- foot pool, a 1,322 square-foot attached garage, and a 650 square-foot detached solid-covered patio. For more details on the size and components of the home, please refer to the Development Table provided in Attachment 2. At the April 15 morning meeting, the Commission requested a neighborhood comparison chart that reflects the size of homes and garages nearby, as well as the size of any basements, if applicable. Staff presented a Blue Folder item with the chart on May 20, but noted that it was not complete due to time constraints and staffing turnover. Since the meeting, the Staff have completed the chart (see Attachment 3). Twelve of the surveyed properties are near the subject property or directly abut it. Ten of the surveyed properties are recent projects within the City that demonstrate the size of custom homes approved. Part of the neighborhood comparison analysis includes the size of the approved garages. One garage is as large as 1,512 square feet, while many are the typical 2- car garage size of approximately 400 square feet. As discussed further below, the applicant is requesting a six-car garage at 1,322 square feet. Due to the shape of the subject lot, the entire frontage facing Chuckwagon Road is visible from the street, including the proposed six-car garage. Basement: With the addition of a basement, the appearance of the home from the street appears larger. The Commission, a neighboring resident at 4 Chuckwagon, and their representative have expressed concern with the massing of the house (see Attachment 5), including the basement. Privacy: Although the project meets the setback requirements, the proposed home is situated on the highest portion of the lot and potentially affects the privacy of the neighbors to the south at 4 Chuckwagon. The applicant has designed the project with no windows in this area; however, the neighbors and their representative have expressed concerns about potential privacy issues (see Attachment 5). Staff shared the above concerns with the applicant. The Applicant was receptive to the feedback but desired to proceed with the original design. Variances: This Project should be analyzed and weighed against the aforementioned required findings for the various entitlements. To support this review, Staff has prepared a Proposed Discretionary Review Summary Table outlining these key considerations (see Attachment 4). In evaluating the Project, the Commission is guided by the record and evidence presented, and any decision should align with the applicable findings outlined in the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC), supported by substantial evidence. As such, the discussion below will focus on the three variances requested and the findings necessary to review the Project. This evening, Staff seeks the Commission to open the public hearing, receive public testimony, discuss the project, close the public hearing, and provide directions to staff. 13

DISCUSSION: Project Site Description The subject property is an irregular parcel zoned RAS-1, and the net lot area is 72,510 square feet (1.66 acres). Currently developed with a 3,086-square-foot single-family residence and a 400-square-foot attached garage, the site is proposed for redevelopment, and both existing structures will be demolished. The property contains one primary building pad measuring approximately 19,200 square feet, with an existing 50-foot-wide driveway providing access from Chuckwagon Road, which is proposed to remain (see Attachment 7). Request for Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit and Variances: The application was filed on May 16, 2024 by applicant Jeff Browning, SAA Interiors & Architects, on behalf of the property owner, Ken Lee, requesting Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit and Variances under Zoning Case No. 24-043. The applicant is requesting the following: 6,939 square-foot residence 1,322 square-foot attached 6-car garage 2,877 square-foot basement 650 square-foot detached solid-cover patio (requires Conditional Use Permit as it exceeds more than 200 square feet) 790 square-foot pool with 40 square-foot pool equipment enclosure Site Plan Review for retaining walls exceeding a height of 3 feet and 2.5 average (maximum height of 5-feet), grading, and associated improvements Conditional Use Permit for a future stable greater than 200 square feet (450 SF is proposed) Variances for fill slopes steeper than 2:1, site disturbance of more than 40 percent, and construction in the front yard setback. Variances 2:1 Slope (RHMC Section 15.04.120) A variance is requested because the applicant is requesting fill slopes steeper than 1 unit vertical to 2 horizontal units in order to construct the driveway (see Attachment 7 - Plans). Site Disturbance (RHMC Section 17.16.070) Since the Project requires site disturbance more than the allowable 40% of the net lot area, a variance is being requested to deviate from these provisions to permit a larger buildable area, given, that the gross area of the lot is 100,623 square feet and the net lot area is 72,508 square feet. The lot is already over 70% disturbed (see Attachment 2), and the additional disturbance will require a variance. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Code (RHMC Section 17.16.070) to deviate by 37.9% for grading the disturbance area beyond what is permitted for this project. The disturbed area is 56,500 square feet or 77.9% (40% max permitted, provided that no more than fifty percent of the slopes resulting from the grading are greater (steeper) than 3:1, or three units horizontal (run) to one unit vertical (rise). However, existing land disturbance totals 53,500 square feet and will increase by 3,000 square feet. Since this increase is somewhat significant, the Commission must consider this impact on the 14

natural terrain in granting the variance. Encroachment into Setback Areas (RHMC Sections 17.18.040 and 17.18.060) Additionally, the encroachments into the front yard setbacks with the stable and corral have been placed in a manner intended to maximize usable space while minimizing intrusion. As a result, encroachment into the front yard setback is necessary, which requires a variance. At the May 20 meeting, this variance seemed acceptable since it would place the stable and corral away from neighboring properties. Criteria for Variance RHMC Section 17.38.050 – Required Findings states that in granting a variance, the Commission (and Council on appeal) must make the following findings: 1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in question; 3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; 4. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; 5. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant; 6. That 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; and 7. That the variance request is consistent with the general plan of the City of Rolling Hills. A fuller discussion of how the Project meets these findings can be found in the draft resolutions (see Attac
