Agenda Item No.: 10.A Mtg. Date: 12/11/2023 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: KARINA BAÑALES SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE A REPORT ON STORM HILL LANE DATE: December 11, 2023 BACKGROUND: Staff reported this item at the September 28th Traffic Commission meeting. At that meeting, the Commission asked about future maintenance of the new road and storm drains. History The Traffic Commission reviewed and approved an item to relocate the intersection of Storm Hill Lane with Johns Canyon Road on November 21, 2019. City Council received and filed the Traffic Commission and Planning Commission's actions on the project on January 13, 2020. Construction to install the new road has been ongoing for the past several months and is nearing completion. DISCUSSION: Maintenance The new road, including the storm drains, will be maintained by the RHCA after completion/sign offs. The applicant recorded an easement for the ongoing access/maintenance of this road by RHCA (see attachment). The applicant also has a preferred storm drain maintenance company that was used in the past. The applicant and RHCA have been in communication and the feedback has been positive as the cost of storm drain maintenance is relatively low. New Lots Supported by Storm Hill Lane The new road will support new lots created by a subdivision. There are four lots which have access to the new road: one developed and the other three vacant. The road is approximately 564 feet in length and terminates at a cul-de-sac. The road was approved by the Fire Department and constructed to LA County road construction standards. The intersection at Storm Hill Lane is 57 feet wide and has a 30-foot paved surface within a 60-foot-wide roadway easement area. The project was approved by the Planning Commission on November 19, 2019. The City’s Traffic Engineer reviewed the plans prior to City approval. 14

Progress Update Road work is complete. All utilities have been installed, the area has been graded, the road is paved, rolled curbs have been installed, and hydroseeding has been planted. Onward Engineering was hired by the City to inspect the dry sewer, which has been installed. Public Works inspections for the road is handled by LA County Building and Safety. Mulch and hydroseeding has been added. RHCA is reviewing the bridle trail easement on the side of the road which leads down toward the canyon. A lot line adjustment is expected to align the easement with the property line. The applicant will be working on the lot line adjustment in the foreseeable future. The "as-built" plan has been submitted as required in the conditions of approval. There were two minor revisions from the original approved plan which included: 1. Relocation of a storm drain grate to align with the rolled curb in order to collect storm water properly; and 2. Substitution of decomposed granite with wood chips/mulch on horse trails per RHCA. The County inspector has signed off on the grading/drainage permit card regarding the underground drainage, grading, asphalt, etc. The applicant is working on obtaining confirmation emails from the utility companies regarding the ability to serve the area. The applicant's civil engineer will be installing monumentation needed for future surveying. FISCAL IMPACT: None. Project funded by applicant. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file.

Agenda Item No.: 10.B Mtg. Date: 12/11/2023 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: KARINA BAÑALES SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE A FOLLOW-UP TO THE DISCUSSION ABOUT SIGNAGE AT CREST ROAD EAST AND EASTFIELD DRIVE LEADING TO CREST ROAD EAST GATE AND FINDING THE ACTION CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DATE: December 11, 2023 BACKGROUND: This item was discussed at the September 28, 2023 Traffic Commission meeting. City Traffic Engineer Vanessa Munoz investigated the issue and recommended signage be replaced with taller signs. The Commission took no action but indicated the issue involved more than just the City. History At the September 11, 2023 City Council meeting, the Mayor directed staff to include an item on the Traffic Commission's agenda regarding emergency signage posted on Crest Road East near the egress gate. The direction was given after Alfred Visco provided public comment that the sign at the intersection of Crest Road East and Eastfield Drive that leads to the locked gate at the end of Crest Road East be changed to indicate "emergency evacuation only when green lights flashing" or similar. During an emergency, the gate can be opened and the flashing lights can direct people toward the exit. During non-emergencies, drivers have been known to drive to the end of Crest Road East only to find out the gate is locked and there is no exit. Mr. Visco brought the issue to the attention of RHCA, but they referred him to the City. He indicated the existing signs were reviewed and approved by the Traffic Commission. DISCUSSION: Staff discussed this issue with Kristen Raig of the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) and she also indicated no change should be made. During an emergency, the emergency operations center (EOC) or command center will be able to direct residents to appropriate exits. The Fire Department and Sheriff's Department will assist with evacuation. 30

Any action has been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301(g) (Existing Facilities; signs) and 15311(a) (Accessory Structures, on-premise signs) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts new copy on existing on and off-premise signs and on-premise signs. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. ATTACHMENTS: CL_AGN_TC_230928_TrafficEngineerMemo_Crest-Eastfield Signage.pdf CO_TRC_230913_CrestRoadEastSigns.pdf 31

Memorandum TO: John Signo, AICP Director of Planning and Community Services FROM: Vanessa Munoz PE, TE, City Traffic Engineer DATE: September 21, 2023 SUBJECT: Crest Road and Eastfield Drive – End of Road Signage Review This memorandum is in response to the request by the city to review the signage for the dead end road on Crest Road east of Eastfield Drive. Based on my review of the signage in the field, there is no need to supplement the existing signage. However, the signs are not at the recommended height per the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and are worn out. Placing the signs at the correct height allows drivers to view the signs at a greater distance and make the necessary decisions prior to reaching the intersection of Crest Road and Eastfield Drive. When signs are lower than recommended, drivers’ line of sight may take longer to read the information, therefore, require greater time to react and decide what next steps to take. Furthermore, the signs in the field should be replaced once the retro reflectivity of the sign has worn down since this makes it difficult to see but particularly at night. Since this requires greater analysis and it can be costly, it is a common practice by cities to replace the signs with roadway resurfacing projects or have a sign replacement program. To improve the compliance with the signs, I recommend the signs be replaced in kind but installed at a height of 7-feet. 32

Agenda Item No.: 11.A Mtg. Date: 12/11/2023 TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: KARINA BAÑALES SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 23-070: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR A NEW DRIVEWAY AND DRIVEWAY APRON AS PART OF A SITE PLAN REVIEW, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND VARIANCE APPLICATION ON A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 23 CREST ROAD EAST (LOT 132A- MS), ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (OGASAWARA), AND DETERMINING THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DATE: December 11, 2023 BACKGROUND: Zoning, Location, and Lot Description The property is zoned RAS-2 and excluding the roadway easement the lot is 262,368 square feet (6.02 acres) in size. The lot is vacant. The existing topography of the project site slopes down approximately 115 feet from Crest Road East to the lowest portion of the lot. History On January 2017, the City Council adopted a resolution approving an entitlement (ZC 902) for construction of an 11,500 square foot new single-family residence with an 11,500 square foot basement and appurtenances (See City Council Resolution 1202). On December 12, 2018, the Planning Commission granted a 2-year time extension for the entitlement ZC 902 to January 23, 2021. The permit has since expired and a new application (ZC 21-11) was being processed and reviewed by Planning Commission, but that application was closed when the property was sold to the current owner. 36

DISCUSSION: Applicant Request The proposed project (Zoning Case No. 23-070) was submitted on June 2, 2023. The project consists of grading and construction of a new residence, driveway, guest house, accessory dwelling unit (ADU), swimming pool, stable, corral, and appurtenant structures, on a vacant lot. Three building pads are proposed. The first pad (Pad 1) is for the main residence and will be 49,688 square feet. The second pad (Pad 2) is for the ADU and will be 1,770 square feet located on the eastern portion of the lot. The third pad (Pad 3) is for the stable and corral and will be 2,400 square feet in the western front portion of the lot. The proposed
