Agenda Item No.: 10.A Mtg. Date: 05/20/2025 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: STEPHANIE GRANT, ASSISTANT PLANNER THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 24-154: SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR NON-EXEMPT GRADING AND WALLS TO EXCEED A HEIGHT OF 3 FEET AND 2.5 FEET AVERAGE (UP TO A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 5 FEET), AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXCEED 200 SQUARE FEET FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND FINDING THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, FOR THE LOCATION AT 16 CABALLEROS ROAD, ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (YOU & WANG) (LOT 6-SK) DATE: May 20, 2025 BACKGROUND: Zoning, Location, and Lot Description The subject property is zoned RAS-1 and is located at 16 Caballeros Road. For development purposes, the net lot area, which excludes the roadway easement, is 1.44 acres (63,074 square feet). The first residential building pad is 8,307 square feet. The second pad is currently undeveloped and relatively flat. The property is developed with a 4,207-square-foot residence with a 660-square-foot attached garage, a 1,140-square-foot courtyard, and a 170-square-foot service yard. The house was built in 1956. Photos of the entire property have been provided in Attachment 3. The property is accessible off Caballeros Road and is developed with an existing 1,690 square foot driveway that leads to the attached garage and main residence on the first building pad. A portion of the main residence encroaches 20 feet and 8 inches into the front setback. The second building pad is undeveloped and relatively flat, and it is located 35 feet below the first building pad with an existing 4-foot-high and 125-foot-long retaining wall and a 187-foot- long fence. The lower portion of the lot is steeply sloped and relatively non-buildable. The lot 12

has a depth of 367 feet in length and a width of 250 feet. An aerial view of the subject property has been provided in Attachment 4. DISCUSSION: Applicant Request On December 2, 2024, the applicant, Domingo Ottolia, of Ottolia & Barnes, on behalf of the property owners Zhao Wang and Hailong You, submitted a Site Plan Review application for non-exempt grading, walls to exceed 3 feet, and other improvements, including a Conditional Use Permit application for a cabana to exceed 200 square feet (the cabana is proposed to be 637 square feet). The proposed improvements on the property also include a 480 square foot swimming pool/spa, 155 square foot stairs, 42 square foot outdoor kitchen, 16 square foot pool equipment, planters, and concrete pool deck that are not part of this discretionary approval by the Planning Commission but instead subject to ministerial review and approval by staff. A Project Summary Table of the entirety of the projects that require Ministerial and Discretionary approvals has been included in Attachment 5. Grading The total proposed grading for the Project is 203 Cubic Yards (147 CY of cut and 54 CY of fill). The 93 CY of cut for the swimming pool spa is exempt and will be exported. The Site Plan Review is for the non-exempt grading totaling 108 CY. The non-exempt grading will be balanced on-site. The proposed improvements on the property also include a 480 square foot swimming pool/spa, 155 square foot stairs, 42 square foot outdoor kitchen, 16 square foot pool equipment, planters, and concrete pool deck at grade that are not part of this discretionary approval by the Planning Commission but instead subject to ministerial review and approval by staff. Table 1 below provides details of the grading project type. Table 1 GRADING PROJECT TYPE CUT FILL MAX DEPTH EXEMPT OR NON- EXEMPT DISCRETIONARY OR MINISTERIAL Swimming pool spa 93 CY (Exempt for Export) 7 feet Exempt Ministerial Pool Deck (southwest side of pool deck) None 54 Cubic Yards 46 inches (3'10") Non-Exempt Discretionary Retaining Walls 50 CY None 42 inches (3'6") Non-Exempt Discretionary Stairway 2 Cubic Yards None 30 inches Non-Exempt Ministerial 13

Stairs at the bottom of the steps 2 Cubic Yards None 8 feet Non-Exempt Discretionary The proposed retaining wall located at the northern portion of the pool deck includes 54 cubic yards of cut at 42 inches deep (3 feet and 6 inches). The southwestern side of the pool deck involves 54 cubic yards of fill and 46 inches (3 feet and 6 inches). The grading exceeds the maximum 3-foot cut and fill. Therefore, a Site Plan Review is required to exceed 3 3-foot cuts and 3 3-foot fills with a maximum depth. The proposed concrete stairway extends 35 feet from building Pad 1 to the lower level, and the grading for the stairs is very minimal. The total grading for the stairs is 2 cubic yards of cut at 30 inches deep into the natural slope, and a total of 155 square feet, 35 feet in length, and 54 inches wide. The stairway has been designed to follow natural contours of the slope to minimize grading. The cut for the bottom of the stairway is 5 feet max depth and is part of the Site Plan Review. Conditional Use Permit Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 17.16.040(A)(3) requires a Conditional Use Permit for any detached accessory structures that exceed two hundred square feet. The pergola requires a Conditional Use Permit approval because it exceeds the maximum allowable 200 square feet by 436 square feet for a total of 636 square feet (it will not exceed 800 square feet maximum). The new pergola will be located on the pool deck at the southwest portion of the recreational building pad. The pergola is 13 feet wide by 42 feet long and 10 feet and 9 inches in height. Setbacks The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the RAS- 1 Zone, districts, including size, setbacks, and location. The Project complies with all of the development standards of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. Lot Coverage and Building Pad Coverage The Project complies with the Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Municipal Zoning Code. The Architectural Plans have been included as Attachment 9. The existing structural coverage is 5,487 square feet or 8.7%, and the project proposes a net of 1,054 square feet or 1.6%, for a total of 6,541 square feet or 10.3%. This is still under the maximum allowed 20% structural coverage. The existing flatwork coverage is 4,322 square feet or 6.8%, and the project proposes 2,631 or 4.2% square feet of structural cove age for a total of 6,953 square feet or 11.0%. This is still under the maximum allowed 15% structural coverage. 14

Therefore, the square footage in the front setback does not count in the building pad coverage calculations. The existing second pad is undeveloped and relatively flat, but the applicants are proposing a 3,255 square foot recreational building pad with a 1,000 square foot set-aside area for a total of 4,255 square feet.
