Agenda Item No.: 10.A Mtg. Date: 10/15/2024 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 24-074: SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION, GRADING, STABLE ACCESS, AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS; CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR A RECREATIONAL GAME COURT (TENNIS COURT), STABLE WITH LOFT GREATER THAN 200 SQUARE FEET, CORRAL GREATER THAN 550 SQUARE FEET, AND AN EXISTING BUILDING TO BE CONVERTED TO A MIXED USE BUILDING (GUEST HOUSE/RECREATION ROOM); AND VARIANCES FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE FRONT AND REAR YARD SETBACKS, AND DEVIATIONS FROM THE CONDITIONS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PER ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 17.16.210(A) FOR A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2 POSSUM RIDGE ROAD, AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (LOT 123- RH) (WHITCOMBE) DATE: October 15, 2024 BACKGROUND: This item was originally part of Zoning Case No. 23-150 approved by the Planning Commission on April 16, 2024 (Phase 1). During that review, the Commission approved the residential addition and other improvements to the western portion of the site. The recreational game court (tennis court) and new stable were removed from the plan to be considered at a later date (Phase 2). The Planning Commission provided direction and suggested: (1) swapping the locations of the recreational game court and existing stable; and (2) demolishing the existing stable and other structures to accommodate new development. Zoning and Lot Area The property is located in the southern portion of the City at the northwestern intersection of Portuguese Bend Road and Crest Road West. The property is traversed by Possum Ridge 10

Road and is zoned RAS-2. The lot area excluding the roadway easement is 4.2 acres (181,429 square feet (SF)). For development purposes the net lot area is 3.5 acres (151,990 SF). The net lot area is used for calculations throughout this report. Existing Development Records show the existing residence was constructed in 1949. Additions to the residence and other structures were built in the later years with significant improvements made in the 1970s. The property is currently developed with eight buildings and a transformer/generator summarized as follows: Main residence (3,660 SF) Original 1,700 SF built in 1949 with attached garage and 900 SF of open porches Main residence extension Connected by a breezeway; possibly added in 1975 or 1978 Building permits show 884 SF added in 1975 1,000 SF addition and remodel in 1975 96 SF added to master bedroom and 440 SF for family room in 1978 Detached garage (built in 1975) Stable with loft (1,890 SF built in 1994) Farm equipment garage/shop (884 SF, built in 1975) Two storage sheds 120 SF garden storage shed built in 1954 300 SF hobby room built in 1975 Enclosed cabana (225 SF) Transformer/generator Phase 1 Approval On April 16, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-05 (Attachment 4) approving ZC No. 23-150 for the following: Site Plan Review 2,570 SF of additions to an existing residence New 1,950 SF basement 1,200 SF swimming pool with a 5-foot-high wall along a slope 170 SF outdoor kitchen 335 SF fire pit Maximum three-foot-high retaining walls 795 SF of covered decks/porches 5,058 cubic yards (CY) of grading New hardscape including an expansion of the driveway and motor court Landscaping Other improvements Variances Construction in the front and rear yard setbacks for additions to the residence, covered porches/decks, swimming pool, and lightwell access. Minor Modification to ZC 23-150 Subsequent to the Planning Commission's approval, the applicant modified the project prior to building plan check. The modifications are considered minor and were processed administratively pursuant to Condition D of Resolution No. 2024-05: "Minor modifications are subject to approval by the City Manager or his or her designee." The following minor modifications were made: 11

Added an attached pergola at the 170 SF outdoor kitchen; Relocated firepit (200 SF) to be surrounded by swimming pool (1,340 SF) in the same general area; Pool equipment to be in an underground vault next to pool; and Enlarged basement to include one larger basement (instead of two smaller areas) for a total of 3,365 square feet. Staff approved the modifications because the pergola above the outdoor kitchen is attached to the residence and does not require discretionary review. The firepit was originally north of the swimming pool, but will now be surrounded by the pool on three sides. The basement is entirely underneath the building footprint and will not be visible from outside. Additional grading for the enlarged basement is needed, but excavation for a basement is exempt from grading calculations. DISCUSSION: After the March 19th Planning Commission meeting, the applicant decided to move forward with the addition to the residence and postpone the conditional use permits for the stable addition (which was proposed at the time), corral, and recreational game court (tennis court). For purposes of this review, the Planning Commission is only considering the site plan review for construction, grading, stable access, and other improvements. Items approved under Phase 1 are already approved. Site Plan Review The applicant is requesting a Phase 2 Site Plan Review for construction of: 6,000 SF tennis court on western, developed portion of the lot Conversion of an existing 1,075 SF stable to a mixed-use guest house and recreation room Loft to be removed and plate height lowered 3,380 SF stable on eastern undeveloped portion of the lot Includes 800 SF tack room in the loft Conditional Use Permits Per RHMC Section 17.16.040, conditional use permits (CUPs) are required for the following: Stable over 200 SF subject to Section 17.16.060 Corral over 550 SF subject to Section 17.18.060 Recreational game courts (tennis court) Mixed-use structure used as a guest house and recreation room subject to Section 17.16.200 Variances Encroachment into the front yard setback Encroachment into the rear yard setback Deviation from the conditions for accessory uses found in Section 17.16.200 MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE Grading and Stabilization The western portion of the site is already disturbed and developed, however, grading is 12

needed for the tennis court in the amount of 1,120 CY cut and 138 CY fill. The stable requires 443 CY cut and 1,050 CY fill. In total, Phase 2 includes 2,113 CY cut and 2,113 CY fill for a total of 4,226 CY. Disturbance An additional 26,300 SF of disturbance is needed bringing the total to 73,800 SF or 48.56%. Per Section 17.16.070, the disturbed area may be a maximum of 50 percent of the net lot area, 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). The area for the tennis court and new barn will be less than 3:1 while certain portions of 2:1 slope are needed to transition to natural grade. Height The finished roof height of the proposed stable is 25 feet. The existing stable to be converted to a mixed-use building will be lowered to one story and the loft will be removed. Storm Water Management This application is subject to the General Permit requirements for storm water management, where the State requires that a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan be submitted and a permit obtained, due to grading on one or more acres of land. This application is also subject to the City’s Low Impact Development (LID) ordinance requirements for retention of water on site, and the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance where the applicants must implement low water usage planting and devices and certify compliance. All of these requirements will be monitored at the plan check review process and during construction. Lot Coverage The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 20,282 SF or 13.34% (20% max. permitted). The total lot coverage proposed (structural and flatwork) will be 36,979 SF or 24.33% (35% max. permitted). Utility Lines / Septic Tank It will be a requirement that utility lines be placed underground. Septic tank review is done by the County Health Department. Rolling Hills Community Association Review Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a later date. Environmental Review The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), which exempts the construction and location of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences.
