Dear Honorable Mayor and RH City Councilmembers:
After two years of discussions on the need for emergency notifications for residents, the Outdoor Siren Project was approved by the City Council on June 12, 2023, 14 months ago today. The Block Captains request the City Council prioritize the completion of the Outdoor Siren Project and provide a status to the residents on the following items:
1. status on the installation of the siren poles;
2. status of the notification policies and procedures for RH residents;
3. education schedule for residents on sirens – voice messages, who activates, maintenance frequency, etc.
4. expected implementation and operational date.
Residents must be kept informed on the progress of this essential and important project and causes of delays should be communicated. When can we expect a status? Respectfully submitted,

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:
ZONING CASE NO. 23-070: SITE PLAN REVIEW TO DEVELOP A
VACANT LOT INCLUDING NON-EXEMPT GRADING AND THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WITH
BASEMENT, RETAINING WALLS EXCEEDING A HEIGHT OF 3 FEET
(UP TO A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 5 FEET), DRIVEWAY WITH
PORTIONS THAT EXCEED A WIDTH OF 20 FEET, AND OTHER
IMPROVEMENTS; CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE, CORRAL, DETACHED TRELLIS, AND GUEST HOUSE; AND VARIANCES TO ALLOW THE STABLE,

ABOVE GRADE, AND ALLOW GRADING EXPORT FOR A PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 23 CREST ROAD EAST, AND FINDING THE PROJECT
CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (LOT 132A-MS) (OGASAWARA)
DATE: August 12, 2024
BACKGROUND:
On July 22, 2024, the City Council considered the Planning Commission's action to approve the proposed project and the Traffic Commission's action to approve the driveway apron. The City Council voted 5-0 to take the matter under its own jurisdiction. On August 1, 2024, a public hearing notice was published in the Daily Breeze for the field trip and evening Council meeting on August 12, 2024. Notices were mailed to owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property (Attachments 1A and 10).
34 Applicant Request
On June 2, 2023, an application was filed by the applicant, Frank Escher of Escher, Gune, Wardena Architecture on behalf of the property owner, Yuki Ogaswara, requesting a Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit, and Variances under Zoning Case No. 23-070 (ZC 23-070).
The proposed project was for construction of a new 14,680-square-foot (SF) single-family residence with a 7,849 SF basement, 1,000 SF attached garage, 1,225 SF stable, 5,190 SF corral, 600 SF accessory dwelling unit (ADU), 600 SF guest house, 280 SF swimming pool, 155 SF pool equipment, 480 SF of attached covered porches, 95 SF service yard, lightwells, maximum five-foot-high retaining walls, walkways, landscaping, and other improvements (Attachment 2). A 17,700 SF oval driveway was proposed in the front of the property for access to the residence, ADU, and stable.
Previous Projects
On January 2017, the City Council adopted a resolution approving Zoning Case (ZC) No. 902 for construction of an 11,500 SF new single-family residence with an 11,500 SF basement and appurtenances (See City Council Resolution No. 1202).
On December 12, 2018, the Planning Commission granted a two-year time extension for ZC No. 902 to January 23, 2021. Due to COVID-19 several entitlements were placed on hold and Assembly Bill 1561 created an automatic time extension for ZC No. 902 which extended the expiration to July 22, 2022.
On November 9, 2021, an application was received for development of a new 8,460 SF residence, basement, accessory dwelling unit (ADU), guest house, stable, swimming pool, spa, and other improvements (ZC No. 21-11). On March 15, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a field trip and evening public hearing to discuss the project, and continued the public hearing to April 19, 2022. On March 24, 2022, the Traffic Commission recommended approval of the main driveway, but removal of the secondary driveway. On April 13, 2022, the applicant requested the item be pulled from the Planning Commission agenda since the property had been sold to a new owner who did not want to continue with the project. As such, ZC No. 21-11 was closed; the approval for ZC No. 902 ultimately expired.
Planning Commission Review of ZC 23-070
On January 16, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed ZC 23-070 for the first time. After conducting a field trip and evening public hearing, the Planning Commission continued the item and directed staff to work with the applicant to revise the plans to address certain issues:
The height of the mound at the center of the oval driveway. The plans indicated a height of 15 feet from the existing grade at the highest point and showed Coast Live Oak Trees (these can grow up to 80 feet tall) to be planted. This would negatively impact the line of site from Crest Road East. The Commission required that the proposed mound be staked and silhouetted.
The residents at 17 Crest Road East expressed concerns about privacy and the proximity of the proposed barn.
The walkway that extends out from the basement and the portion of the basement under the covered patio that is not under the footprint of the residence.
The discrepancies with the grading calculations, application, and plans.
Mixed-Use Structure/Stable located in the front yard.
The guest house's proximity to the canyon.
35 Retaining walls along the stable.
Floor level above the grade/raised decks – various sections of the residence, guest house, stable, and guest house show raised decks.
Trellis calculations need to be added to the calculations (415 square feet (SF) On April 16, 2024, this item was presented to the Planning Commission for a second time.
That morning, the Planning Commission held a field trip at the site. Commissioners, staff, and attendees viewed the silhouettes of the proposed project. The project was presented later at the evening Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commissioners voted 4-0 (1 Commissioner was absent) to continue the item to the next meeting. The Planning Commission directed staff to work with the applicant to revise the plans to address the following:
The basement projection from the main residence;
The exit from the basement;
The proposed mount height at 1330' elevation, which must be lowered; Privacy; and
View blockage issues.
On June 18, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a third field trip and evening public hearing. The applicant and several residents were present at the field trip. The Commission and the public were able to walk the site to better understand the proposed project. At the evening hearing, the Commission listened to the staff's presentation and heard the applicants' testimonies. Several residents spoke about stormwater concerns. At the conclusion of the evening hearing, the Planning Commission voted 3-0 (two commissioners absent) to adopt Resolution No. 2024-06 approving ZC 23-070 (Attachment 3). The action included amending the conditions of approval to address future area drainage, the height of the mound and what can be planted atop, and the orientation of a passageway to the basement.
Traffic Commission Review
On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission reviewed the proposed driveway and apron.
The proposed driveway connects to Crest Road East and has a driveway apron of 62 feet 5 inches wide. The driveway entrance will be 26 feet wide and connects to an oval-shaped driveway that will be 15 feet wide. The oval-shaped driveway connects to the barn, ADU, and main residence. Existing eucalyptus trees along Crest Road East will remain. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Traffic Commission voted 4-0 (one commissioner absent) to approve the proposed driveway and apron.
Zoning, Location, and Lot Description
The property is zoned RAS-2, and the gross lot area is 7.05 acres or 307,098 SF. The net lot area for development purposes is 6.02 acres or 262,368 SF. The lot is currently undeveloped and vacant (see photos in Attachment 4). The lot is irregularly shaped and has a depth of approximately 820 feet and a width of approximately 480 feet. The property slopes downward from Crest Road East to the rear of the property. The grade elevation between the proposed main building pad and the street is approximately 42 feet. The lot is located in the southern portion of the City and has views of the Pacific Ocean. A natural drainage course is located along the western portion of the lot, and a blue line stream, which is a part of the Klondike Canyon System, is located approximately 200 feet south of the southern property line of the lot. The lot is also located in proximity to the Geotechnical Hazardous area of the City, known 36 as the Flying Triangle. The existing topography of the project site slopes down approximately 115 feet from Crest Road East to the lowest portion of the lot. The closest structures to the proposed project are 330 feet to the north, 179 feet to the east, 220 feet to the west, and 403 feet to the south (Attachment 1B).

14,680 SF single-family residence
7,849 SF basement
1,000 SF attached garage
652 SF accessory dwelling unit (ADU; not subject to discretionary review) 1,225 SF stable and 5,190 SF corral (Discussed under the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Variance)
Retaining walls to exceed a height of 3 feet (maximum 5 feet) 28,389 cubic yards (CY) of total grading
25,343 SF mound in the center of the oval driveway
58,050 SF landscaping
Native plants & tree species
3,000 SF native pollinator meadow in the center of the mound Three building pads are proposed:
Pad 1: 32,610 SF main building pad
Pad 2: 1,610 SF accessory dwelling unit (ADU) pad
Pad 3: 2,900 SF stable pad
The Planning Commission amended or added conditions to address certain issues:
Condition AB: Language included to address drainage.
Condition AP: Condition added regarding the mound height (maximum elevation of 1330 feet) and landscaping.
Condition AQ: Condition added that basement passageway be redesigned to be angled or zigzagged.
Grading
The total grading is 28,389 CY (see Attachment 8). Grading export is 9,715 CY (3,131 CY exempt and 6,584 CY non-exempt). Grading for the mound was reduced from 11,405 CY to 9,337 CY. A Site Plan Review is required for the non-exempt grading and a Variance is required for non-exempt export.
Site Plan Review
Per Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Section 17.46.020.A.1, a Site Plan Review is required for the construction of any new buildings or structures that require any grading that is not exempt. RHMC Section 17.46.50 includes required findings which are listed below. 37 Conditional Use Permit
Per RHMC Section 17.80.050, a conditional use permit (CUP) is required for a stable greater than 200 SF and a corral that is greater than 550 SF. The proposed 1,225 SF stable exceeds the 200 SF limit by 775 SF. The stable has not changed in this project.
Per RHMC Section 17.16.210, a CUP is also required to construct a guest house. The new proposal for the guest house has been changed to 600 SF, which was reduced from 540 SF.
The guest house will not encroach into any required setbacks and was moved away from the top of the canyon.
As per RHMC Section 17.16.210, a CUP is required for an accessory structure that exceeds 200 SF. The project includes a detached 415 SF trellis at the bottom of the canyon. There are also two existing trails that lead down to the new trellis. The existing trails are currently overgrown and not accessible. The applicant is proposing to redesign and cut the overgrown vegetation on the pathways for the new trellis. There are no changes to the trellis.
Variances
The Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a Variance application and approvals for the following:
1. Stable, corral, swimming pool, and retaining walls to encroach into the front yard;
2. Corral to encroach into the required 50-foot front setback;
3. Retaining walls that exceed the maximum average height of two-and-one-half feet;
4. Basement with a portion extending beyond the building walls of the residence;
5. Decks/patios that exceed more than one foot above grade; and
6. Grading export.
Municipal Code Compliance
Lot and Building Pad Coverage
The net lot area is 262,368 SF. The structural coverage is as follows: the total proposed structural coverage is 18,970 SF or 7.23%, which is well below the 20% maximum (with deductions). The proposed flatwork coverage is 18,385 SF or 7.01%, which is below the 15% maximum. The total proposed structural and flatwork coverage for the entire lot with deductions is 37,355 SF or 14.24%, which is well below the 35% maximum. The project complies with all of the RHMC development standards.
The project exceeds the 30% maximum building pad coverage guidelines, the smaller building pads provides less disturbance to the lot and preserves the natural terrain.
Pad 1: Main Residence will be developed with a 32,610 SF building pad area for a total of 17,799 SF, or 54.58% building pad coverage. This exceeds the maximum 30% guideline by
24.58%.
Pad 2: ADU Pad will be developed with a 1,610 SF building pad area and a total of 700 SF, or
43.48% building pad coverage. This exceeds the maximum 30% guideline by 10.5%.
Pad 3: Stable Pad will be developed with a 2,900-square-foot building pad area and a total of 38 1,340 square feet, or 46.21% building pad coverage. This exceeds the maximum 30% guideline by 16.21%.
Disturbance
The total disturbed area for the lot will be 87,770 SF, or 33.45% of the lot (40% maximum permitted). The previous proposed disturbed area was 87,920 SF, or 33.51% of the lot (40% maximum permitted). This is a reduction of 150 SF or 0.06%.
Stable/Corral
The project includes a 1,225 SF one-story stable with 2 stalls, a tack room/office, 2 bathrooms, a tack workspace, feed/counter space, and a large agricultural space with a garage accessible from the circular driveway. The ridgeline of the new stable is 13.9 feet maximum height. The stable is accessible from a driveway that is connected off of the northwest portion of the oval-shaped driveway.
Site Access
The new driveway apron will be located at Crest Road East on the northeast side of the lot and will provide access to the oval driveway. The driveway will be 15 feet wide, leading to a stable storage garage, motor court, main entry to the house, and garage. The proposed continuous driveway allows for the simplest path between all structures, with a garage in the main residence accommodating four vehicles, suitable per RH guidelines for the main house, guest house, and ADU parking requirements. The center of the oval driveway will be landscaped with native trees, native plants, a native pollinator meadow, and a 115 SF water feature. An entry gate with pilasters will be located at the driveway entrance.
Walls
The RHMC Section 17.16.190(F), requires a Site Plan Review for any walls that exceed a height of 3 feet. Such walls require a variance if located in the front yard. The project includes 6 wall sections:
Wall A is located at the east wing of the main residence and connects to the guest house. It has a maximum height of 2.5 feet and an average height of 2.5 feet. Wall B is a 3-foot-high retaining wall located at the west wing of the main residence along the swimming pool. Wall C is located along the south portion of the mound and extends along the south portion of the driveway with a maximum height of 5 feet high with an average height of 4 feet high (Wall C requires a Variance). Wall D is located on the west portion of the mound and west portion of the driveway. The maximum height is 5 feet high, with an average height of 4.1 feet (Wall D requires a variance). Wall E located along the southern portion of the driveway, is a maximum of 2.5 feet high with an average height of 2.1 feet. Wall F is located just north of the stable walkway, and the maximum height is 3 feet high with an average of 2.4 feet high.
Landscaping
The project includes 58,050 SF of new native landscape area and 3,000 SF of a native 39 pollinator meadow area with a water feature, and 21 native tree species. The project proposes seven Lyonothamnus Floribundus known as the Catalina Ironwood trees that will grow up to a maximum height of 20 feet and maximum width of 12 feet, six Quercus Argrifolia known as the Coast Live Oak with a maximum height of 30 feet and 30 feet maximum width, and 8 Cercus Canadensis known as the Forest Pansy with a maximum height and width of 12 feet. The project will restore the majority of the new landscape areas to a state similar to the original pre-developed, pre-cleared condition of the site, with few visible changes to the existing topography and to the panoramic views from the street and neighboring houses. A review by the City's landscape consultant is required for compliance with landscape standards and the Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (WELO). See Attachment 6 for the landscape review.
Building Height and Pad Elevations (Pads 1 - 3)
The new residence, basement, and attached garage will be developed on the lower southern portion of Pad 1 with a maximum ridge height of 12 feet 9 inches; the ridgeline of these structures will be about 31 feet below Crest Road East. The maximum height of the chimneys is 19 feet 2 inches. The main residence includes eaves that will extend a maximum of 8 feet.
The basement and atrium are located at the V section of the main residence under the proposed deck. The elevations on Page A201 of the plans show that there is a 5-foot maximum retaining wall just above the finished grade. The guest house will be 13 feet and 2 inches in height; the ridgeline of the structure will be about 31 feet below Crest Road East.
The accessory dwelling unit (ADU) (Pad 2) will be 11 feet and 9 inches in height, with a ridgeline about 5 feet below Crest Road East.
The front upper east portion of the lot (Pad 3) will consist of a corral and stable. The stable will be 13 feet and 9 inches in height, and the ridgeline of the structures will be about 5 feet below Crest Road East.
Drainage
A natural drainage course is located along the western portion of the lot, and a blue line stream, which is part of the Klondike Canyon System, is located approximately 200 feet south of the southern property line of the lot. The lot is also located in proximity to the Geotechnical Hazardous area of the City known as the Flying Triangle; however, no part of the lot is within the Flying Triangle.
This project is subject to the Low Impact Development (LID) requirements pertaining to stormwater management, including provisions for retention of run-off on the property. LID is plan checked by Building Services after the City grants entitlements. The proposed storage system is designed to store the difference in stormwater runoff volume between the pre-and post-development conditions. The design proposes two separate drainage systems, splitting runoff between the two adjacent watercourses, to mimic the existing flow patterns.
Included in each system is a Contech Urbangreen SRPE cistern system, at the main residence pad, to intercept and store runoff as follows:
1. The eastern system will collect runoff from the ADU, easterly driveway, easterly half of the residence and residential pad, and guest house.
2. The western system will collect runoff from the stable/corral, westerly driveway, westerly half of the residence and residential pad, and pool area.
3. Each system:
40 a. Will first pass runoff through a Contech inline CDS pre-treatment system to remove trash, debris, and suspended solids. Runoff will then enter the storage barrels. b. Downstream of the storage barrel will be a second manhole with a pump, supplying the irrigation system. Runoff impounded in the storage tanks will be used to irrigate the site after the storm has passed.
c. Above the soffit of the storage barrel, an overflow pipe will direct runoff exceeding the storage capacity and discharge to the watercourse below through an erosioncontrol outlet structure.
Utility Lines / Septic Tank
All utility lines for the development will be required to be placed underground. The Los Angeles County Public Health department will review the septic system (location to be determined).
Rolling Hills Community Association Review
Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a later date.
Public Participation
On January 16, 2024, Yuan Chang, 17 Crest Road East, attended the morning field trip and expressed concerns with privacy and the proximity of the proposed stable. Youkun Nie, representing the owner, submitted an email dated January 17, 2024, regarding the concern (Attachment 5A). The applicant has since moved the stable away from the property and reduced the size to address the concern.
At the January 16, 2024 evening meeting, John Mackenbach, 56 Portuguese Bend Road, commended the project but suggested putting the cisterns closer to vegetation. He asked about drainage and the applicant's team explained the drainage system.
On May 6, 2024, Paul Huh and Jane Huh, the residents of 20 Crest Road East, came into the City to review the project and express their concerns regarding any view obstructions at 23 Crest Road East. Mr. Huh sent an email to staff on May 21, 2024, opposing any obstructions above the Crest Road East ocean view (Attachment 5B).
On June 10, 2024, Charlie Raine, the resident at 4 Pinto Road, came into the City to review the drainage plans for 23 Crest Road East. He expressed his concerns regarding the capacity of cisterns, impermeable and permeable surfaces, excess water flowing into the canyon, future storm drainpipe that the applicant can tie into, and storm drain plans.
At the June 18, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Raine discussed issues with drainage in his neighborhood. Leah Mirsch, 4 Cinchring Road, suggested a larger design for the cisterns.
At the July 22, 2024 City Council meeting, Mr. Raine expressed similar concerns he discussed with the Planning Commission. Mr. Mike Nash discussed the location and commented about stormwater. Mr. Alfred Visco suggested that City Council take the item under its jurisdiction and consider large projects south of Crest Road.

Hi John, Stephanie,
Hope you are doing well!
After participating the field trip and public hearing yesterday on the development plan at 23 Crest Road East ( Subject Project), my client has a few concerns about the Subject Project:
1. The potential impact of the Subject Project's WEST WING on my client's privacy
The Subject Project is located at a higher grade than my client's house at 17 Crest Rd East, and its site layout will enable the people in its west wing to see my client's house from high above.
To better understand how the Subject Project might impact his privacy, my client would like to request a site section from the Owner of the Subject Project. The site section shall include both the Subject project and my client's house and demonstrate what measures the Subject project will take to protect my client's privacy.
2. The Potential impact of the Subject Project's STABLE on my client's privacy My client is not comfortable with the location of the Subject Projects Stable either. The Stable's adjacency to my client's property will potentially impact my client's privacy, and the Stable's odor will potentially bring unpleasant feeling to my client. It might be more desirable if the Owner of the Subject Project could consider switching the Stable location with ADU's,
My client understands that he was supposed to raise his concerns before the Public Hearing. He will greatly appreciate it if you can kindly advise what he can do with his above concerns.
Any way, it doesn't mean my client opposes to the Subject Project. While he is raising his concerns, he wants to be a good neighbor of the Subject Project's Owner.
Thanks for your time. Look forward to hearing from you. 69 Best,
Youkun Nie

Dear Stephanie,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the conceptual landscape plan for 23 Crest Road East located in the City of Rolling Hills. The landscape plans have been reviewed for compliance with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO).
Landscape plans were reviewed for appropriateness and adaptability of selected plants, water efficient irrigation design, and the use of design elements that enhance the character of the community. Review of hardscape and precise grading and drainage are not included.
Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) Compliance Landscape plans have been reviewed for compliance with The City of Rolling Hills Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance No. 361.
This is a Conceptual Plan submittal with approximately 83,000 s.f. of landscape. The MAWA and ETWU calculations for the project are not provided. Refer to the City of Rolling Hills Water Efficient Landscape Submittal Package for plan requirements and Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet. Use the Eto of 39.7 for City of Rolling Hills in the calculations. Include the water feature in the ETWU calculation with a 1.0 plant factor and 1.0 irrigation efficiency (1.0 ETAF). Show the fountain as a high hydrozone, and provide a hydrozone map.
The proposed plant palette is comprised low water use native plants. Three groups of low water use zones are shown and include a Native Meadow, Native Garden, and Native Chaparral. Photos with plant water use are shown and checked per WUCOLS IV Region 3 South Coastal.
The Project Application needs to be submitted. Show a Statement of Compliance with the Landscape Ordinance, and a note requiring a 3-inch layer of mulch on the plan. Planting notes should include soil preparation with amendments for planting.

2 Planting Plan
The plant palette is comprised of a variety of low water use trees, shrubs, succulents, grasses, and ground cover that are adapted to the local climate and conditions on site.
Three plant palette zones of low water use plants are shown including, Native Meadow, Native Garden, and Native Chaparral. Photos of plants are included with the WUCOLS Water Use.
Low water use native trees specified include: Quercus agrifolia and Lyonothamnus.
Moderate water use Cercis ‘Forest Pansy’ is also specified.
Planting details are shown. Planting notes should also be provided with soil preparation and amendments.
City Requirements and Notes
Per City of Rolling Hills requirements, trees specified shall not grow taller than the roof ridge height. Species of concern that grow taller than this include Quercus agrifolia and Lyonothamnus. Cercis ‘Forest Pansy’ trees are acceptable. Trees should also be located so that neighboring views are not obstructed. Show the mature tree height in legend. No City prohibited tree species are shown on the plan.
No planting is allowed in the RHCA easement. In addition, hedges are not allowed in Rolling Hills. The Toyon hedge shown at the edge of the property should be spaced in an uneven pattern approximately 15 feet minimum apart so as not to create a hedge.
The following notes should be added to the Plan:
No landscaping shall be allowed in the RHCA easement.
Trees specified shall not grow higher than the height of the roof ridge.
Trees shall be planted in locations that do not hinder views from the adjacent lots.
Trees are required to be maintained to a height not to exceed the roof ridge and so that views from adjacent lots are not obstructed.
Hedges are not allowed.
Required Revisions for MWELO Compliance
Provide Water Efficient Landscape Worksheet project calculations. Include water feature in calculations as a high hydrozone with a 1.0 ETAF. Provide required notes on plan: Statement of Compliance with Landscape Ordinance, and 3-inches of mulch required in all planting areas.

On December 12, 2018, the Planning Commission granted a two-year time extension for ZC No. 902 to January 23, 2021. 81 3
Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
Due to COVID-19 entitlements were placed on hold and Assembly Bill 1561 created an automatic time extension. As such, the expiration date for ZC No. 902 was extended to July 22, 2022, but the permit was not used and expired.
On November 9, 2021, an application was received for development of a new 8,460- square-foot residence, basement, accessory dwelling unit (ADU), guest house, stable, swimming pool, spa, and other improvements (ZC No. 21-11). On March 15, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a field trip and evening meeting and continued the item to April 19, 2022. However, before the April 19, 2022 meeting could take place, the applicant requested the item be pulled because the property had been sold and there was no interest in moving forward with the project as proposed. As such, the item did not return to the Planning Commission and ZC No. 21-11 was closed. Thus, the project was never approved.
On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission reviewed the proposed driveway and apron located on Crest Road East under the current application (ZC No. 23-070). The Traffic Commission approved the new driveway and apron.
Section 5. 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. Here, the proposed Project includes development on a vacant lot for a new single-family residence, basement, attached garage, driveway, stable, swimming pool, ADU, guesthouse, trellis, walls, hardscape, landscape, and other residential improvements. Accordingly, the Project qualifies for the exemption pursuant to Section 15303.
Further, no exceptions to the exemption apply; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The lot is vacant, and it is one of the last undeveloped lots in the neighborhood.
Section 6. Site Plan Review. Site Plan Review is required for construction of any new building or structure pursuant to Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Section 17.46.020(A). The Project is for Site Plan Review (SPR) to develop a vacant lot including non-exempt grading and the construction of a new single-family residence, basement, attached garage, retaining walls to exceed a height of 3 feet (up to a maximum of 5 feet), oval driveway with portions that exceed a width of 20 feet, and other improvements. With respect to the Site Plan Review for the development, the City Council hereby makes the following findings:
A. The Project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance.
The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan and Zoning ordinance.
The proposed structures comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low-density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The Project maintains the maximum possible distances from adjacent neighbors. The main residence has been integrated into the existing slope to minimize grading and land disturbance by constructing a long and narrow V-shaped floor plan that closely follows the existing topography, which will reduce the visual impact from neighboring properties. The Project complies with all of the City 82 4
Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
of Rolling Hills Development standards with the exception of requiring Variances for the structures to encroach into the front yard.
The Project conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements. The net lot area of the lot is 262,368 square feet (6.02 acres) per RHMC Section 17.16.060(A). The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 18,970 square feet or 7.23% (20% max. permitted) excluding exempt structures; and the total lot coverage proposed, including flatwork, would be 37,770 square feet or 14.40% (35% max. permitted). The disturbed area is 87,770 square feet or 33.45% (40% max permitted).
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable area of the lot.
The topography and the configuration of the lot have been considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures; the project will be built on new building pads which enables project elements to be the least intrusive to surrounding properties. Further, the project will be a sufficient distance from nearby residences so views and privacy of surrounding neighbors will not be impacted. The main house is sited to minimize grading and minimize impact on the site below the 1293-foot contour line that defines both the Finished Floor level and the precise orientation of the wings of the house.
The landscape below this line will not experience any site disturbance and will be utilized to seed and reestablish a pallet of native species back into the landscape above the house. The Project includes three new building pads: Pad #1 is for the main residence for a total of 32,610 SF; Pad #2 is for the ADU for a total of 1,610 SF; and Pad #3 is for the stable for a total of 2,900 SF.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences.
The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, and is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to new residences in the vicinity of said lot. The proposed site plan is harmonious with the site conditions of the existing lot and neighboring lots. The integration of the into the slope following the topography enables the residence to be largely hidden from view from the street and neighboring residences, maximizing the distance between the main house and the street. The slopes being created have been rounded and it was attempted to mimic the existing natural slopes in the area.
D. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls).
There will be no significant changes to the overall drainage features on the lot. There will be minimal impact to site design, vegetation, and mature trees. The property will be landscaped in accordance with the approved landscape plan.

Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area.
The total proposed grading for the Project is 28,389 cubic yards (19,052 CY of cut and 9,337 CY of fill). The excavation for the basement 3,026 CY and pool 105 CY are exempt, the Site Plan Review is for the non-exempt grading total 25,247 CY. The Grading will be balanced on site with exception to 6,584 CY of non-exempt export. The project has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and minimize grading.
F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course.
Grading will be balanced on site with exception to 9,715 CY of export (3,131 CY exempt and 6,584 CY non-exempt). Grading has been minimized by integrating the main residence into the natural slope. The width of the main residence is limited to 25 feet, and the result is a long and narrow ranch house rambling along the 1293-foot contour line. The main residence is centered on its site so that runoff is not increased within existing drainage courses on either side of the lot. Control of water collected by impervious surfaces will utilize large cisterns to collect and redistribute storm-water in a controlled manner that does not alter drainage courses or runoff loads from the undeveloped state of the lot.
G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.
Surrounding native vegetation and mature trees will not be affected or will be replaced.
New vegetation will be installed in accordance with the approved landscape plan. The development will be considerate of the environment and will enhance the rural character of the community. As such, the rural character of the community is maintained and privacy is maintained with neighbors. The new landscape will utilize this plant community as the framework for all new plantings in the landscape that will enhance the existing habitat and ecological community already present on site. These native plants are well suited to the existing site without the need for irrigation beyond their establishment period of 1 to 2 years. The trees will provide visual buffers and habitat creation between neighboring properties while preserving and protecting natural drainage patterns on the site. The new landscape adjacent to Crest Road focuses largely on the reestablishment of the coastal sage scrub planting community and providing habit for the local fauna while seamlessly blending the house into the surrounding native hillside without obstructing views
H. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
The proposed site plan is not detrimental to convenience and safety of pedestrians and vehicles. The proposed continuous driveway allows for the simplest path between all structures, with an attached garage in the main residence accommodating four vehicles, suitable per Rolling Hills guidelines for the main house, guest house and ADU parking requirements. The open 84 6
Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
agricultural room in the stable will also facilitate storage of maintenance vehicles and equipment, as well as animal transportation equipment.
I. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The Project is exempt from the 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 single family residence and accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the Project includes development on a vacant lot for a new single-family residence, basement, attached garage, driveway, stable, swimming pool, ADU, guesthouse, trellis, walls, and other residential improvements. Accordingly, the Project qualifies for the exemption pursuant to Section 15303. Further, no exceptions to the exemption apply; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The lot is vacant, and it is one of the last undeveloped lots in the neighborhood.
Section 7. Conditional Use Permit Findings. RHMC Section 17.16.040 and 17.16.200 require a Conditional Use Permit per RHMC Section 17.16.040(A)(3) for a guest house, per RHMC Section 17.16.040(A)(6) for a stable over 200 square feet, per RHMC Section
17.16.040(A)(7) for corral over 550 square feet, and per 17.16.200(H) for a 400 SF detached trellis, respectively. The Applicant is proposing a 540 SF guesthouse located at the eastern portion of the main building pad. The Applicant is also proposing a 1,225 SF stable with two stalls and a tack room, and a 5,190 SF corral. Given the foregoing, in accordance with RHMC Section 17.42.050, the City Council makes the following findings:
A. That the proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan.
The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for a guesthouse, stable, corral, and trellis is 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 such use. The Project is compatible with existing land uses as other properties in the same zone have a guest house and stable.
B. That the nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures have been considered, and that the use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, building or structures.
The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been considered, and the Project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed guest house, stable, corral, and trellis will be located on the property with sufficient proximity to neighboring buildings and structures.
C. That the site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the uses and buildings proposed.
85 7
Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
The proposed conditional uses comply with all applicable development standards in the RAS-2 Zone. The net lot area is 262,368 SF (6.02 acres) and is adequate to support the proposed uses. The area of the site considered the "front yard", between the proposed main residence and the street, is the widest and most level part of the site. The exception to this is the location of the stable in the front yard, and the corral in the front yard setback, both are subject to variances. The property will be developed and adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed uses and buildings.
D. That the proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district.
The proposed conditional uses comply with all applicable development standards of the RAS-2 Zone, with exception to the variances requested herein.
E. That the proposed use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities.
Granting the proposed conditional use for the project will be consistent with the applicable portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan related to siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. The project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. The proposed project would not constitute a hazardous waste facility.
F. That the proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of this title.
The proposed project allows the Applicant the ability to enjoy rights enjoyed by other residents in the City. The proposed uses are consistent with the residential character of the City.
Section 8. Variance Findings. Section 17.38.050 sets forth the required findings for granting Variances to allow the stable, corral, swimming pool, and retaining walls to encroach into the front yard, allow a portion of the corral to encroach into the front yard setback, construct retaining walls exceeding the maximum average height of two-and one-half-feet, construct a basement with a portion extending beyond the building walls of the residence, construct decks/patios more than one foot above grade, and allow grading export. With respect to this request for Variances, the City Council finds as follows:
A. 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.
There are extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property. The location of stable and corral between the main house and the street is a design adopted by many neighbors on Crest Road East, requiring a variance to allow stables and corrals in the front yard and front yard setback. The area of the site considered the "front yard", between the proposed main residence and the street, is the widest and most level part of the site. Allowing the proposed pool and retaining walls to encroach into the front yard will be consistent with the natural slope 86 8
Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
of the existing property. The construction of retaining walls to exceed the maximum average height of two-and one-half-feet, a basement with a portion extending beyond the building walls of the residence, and construction decks/patios more than one foot above grade will minimize grading and support the development. As a result of the shape of the lot, the grading of the project requires a variance to export non-exempt grading of 3,160 CY of soil to keep the peak of the knoll below the height of the street and out of the view of neighbors.
B. 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.
Developments similar to the proposed project, with stables and corrals in the front yard, are enjoyed by many neighbors on Crest Road East who similarly position main residences away from the street to create privacy and maximize views from their residences, all while making the equestrian uses of the neighborhood visible along the street. The variance requests are necessary for preservation and enjoyment of property rights consistent with other properties in the same vicinity and zone.
C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Granting a variance for the Project will not be detrimental to the public welfare and will not be injurious to properties in the vicinity because it is consistent with the encroachments by the existing residences and structures.
D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed.
The granting of the variance will allow for a development that is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the proposed project is visually harmonious with adjacent properties and in scale with adjacent residential development.
E. That the variance does not grant special privilege to the applicant.
The variance does not grant special privileges for the Applicant; the proposed project is similar to other properties on Crest Road East that have stables and corrals in the front yard and setbacks. The project, together with the variance, will be compatible with the objectives, policies, and general land uses specified in the General Plan.
F. 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.
Granting a variance for the project will be consistent with the applicable portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan related to siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. The project site is not listed on the current State of California 87 9
Resolution No. 1376
23 Crest Road East (Ogasawara)
Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. The proposed project would not constitute a hazardous waste facility.
G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills.
Approvals granting the variance to allow encroachments into the front yard setback will be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills, which encourages residential and equestrian uses.
Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the City Council hereby approves Zoning Case No. 23-070 subject to the following conditions:

Landscape will consist of combination of preservation strategies, reestablishing of native species on site, and addition of appropriately sized plant species to screen views of buildings from the street while preserving view corridors of neighbors. The approach to the land was driven by a study of the existing contours of the site so that the massing and orientation of the proposed buildings carefully follow the topography, while minimizing site disturbance. The project was also informed by a study of the previously approved design for this site (2017) and the City of Rolling Hills review criteria, so that pre-existing approved strategies for water management (sensitive to downhill properties in the runoff zone of 23 Crest Rd. E), minimal grading, and view preservation were central to the design process and are reflected in this design proposal for 23 Crest Road East.

LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) Requirements
All development must comply with the County of Los Angeles’ Title 12, Chapter 12.84 (LID).
LID standards are intended to distribute stormwater and urban runoff across developed sites to help reduce adverse water quality impacts and replenish groundwater supplies. The LID Manual is available at the following link: http://dpw.lacounty.gov/ldd/web/ Under the NPDES permit (LACBC Section 106.4.3) and the County of Los Angeles LID ordinance, priority projects are required to prohibit the discharge of pollutants from property developments. Preventing these pollutants from entering stormwater discharge system will be accomplished by requiring the installation and maintenance of post-construction treatment controls. (Best Management Practices (BMPs)

□ New development, hillside development, redevelopment, alterations, or additions which alter 50% or more of impervious surfaces, entire site shall meet LID requirements.
61. Residential development of 4 units or less must implement a minimum of two LID Best Management Practice (BMP) alternatives as indicated in Section 3.2 and Appendix E – Stormwater Quality Control Measure Fact Sheets of the LID Manual. Plans must show complete construction details, materials, manufacturer, model number, dimensions, location, structures, slopes, construction notes, specifications, cross sections, elevations, and setbacks from property lines needed to construct proposed LID BMPs. BMPs should be designed so as not to adversely impact building foundations, pavement, slope stability, or an adjacent property. For hillside properties all catch basins and inlets that discharge into an existing or proposed storm drains must be labeled to discourage illegal dumping of pollutants. Stencils are available at your local Building and Safety office.

Rain gutters & downspouts shall be shown on plans. • Plans shall show hose bibs or pump systems for discharge and watering of landscaping. (Note: A separate electrical permit is required for pump systems).
• A plumbing permit is required for backflow prevention devices when the discharge system is tied into a landscaping irrigation system served by a potable water source. • H-20 loading is required for underground cisterns located in an area subject to traffic conditions. • Plans should include manufacturer specifications and notes for rain barrels. See provided guidelines. □ Rain garden/Stormwater Planter (Option 2)
• Surface area of flow through type planter box shall be designed and sized to treat 200 gallons. Planter must have a 18” minimum top soil layer and 12” minimum gravel layer. The infiltration type planter box shall be designed to infiltrate 200 gallons over a 48 hour period. c. Divert Runoff/Disconnect Impervious Surfaces (Hillsides > 25% slope must comply with this requirement) • Show driveway, roof, and other impervious surfaces to drain toward pervious landscaped areas. The ratio of impervious to pervious area shall be no less than 2:1. This ratio must be identified on plans for each affected area.
A minimum of 90% of the untreated impervious area shall be routed toward vegetated areas or water quality BMPs. d. Dry well
• Show details including the following: location, cross section details, liner materials, subbase, and all manufacturer’s specifications and/or recommendations from soils engineer. The required soils report shall address dry well and manufacturer’s specification and requirements.

(see Comment 86 for requirements) f. Green Roof
• Show area of green roof on site plan.
• Structural calculations for design of green roof will be required at time of building plan submittal. • Fire Department approval will be required as part of building plan check. 134
62. The following is a list of Designated Projects for new development and redevelopment activities that require compliance with LA County’s LID ordinance. (See LID manual for additional information) ❑ All development projects equal to 1 acre or greater of disturbed area and adding more than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface area
❑ Residential new or redeveloped projects that creates, adds, or replaces >10,000 square feet of impervious surface area. ❑ Industrial parks 10,000 square feet or more of surface area ❑ Commercial malls 10,000 square feet or more surface area ❑ Retail gasoline outlets 5,000 square feet or more of surface area ❑ Restaurants (SIC 5812) 5,000 square feet or more of surface area ❑ Parking lots 5,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area, or with 25 or more parking spaces ❑ Street and road construction of 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area ❑ Automotive service facilities with 5,000 square feet or more of surface area ❑ Projects located in or directly adjacent to, or discharging directly to a Significant Ecological Area (SEA),where the development will discharge storm water runoff that is likely to impact a sensitive biological species or habitat; and Create 2,500 square feet or more of impervious surface area
❑ Redevelopment projects identified below*:
o Land-disturbing activity that results in the creation or addition or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area
o Development which alters less than 50% of impervious surfaces. Only proposed re-development needs to meet NPDES requirements.
o Development which alters 50% or more of impervious surfaces. Entire site shall meet NPDES requirements.
*Impervious surface replacement, such as the reconstruction of parking lots and roadways which does not disturb additional area and maintains the original grade and alignment, is considered a routine maintenance activity. Redevelopment does not include the repaving of existing roads to maintain original line and grade.
REQUIREMENTS:
A. New Development and Re-Development Projects must control runoff through infiltration, bioretention, and/or rainfall harvest and use. Project must retain onsite the Stormwater Quality Design Volume (SWQDv) as defined by the greater of the following:
• The 0.75-inch, 24 hour rain event or
• The 85th percentile, 24-hour rain event, as determined from the Los Angeles County 85th percentile precipitation isohyetal map (www.dpw.lacounty.gov/wrd/hydrologygis) ,.
B. Bioretention and biofiltration systems shall meet the design specifications provided in Appendix E of LA County’s LID manual. (available at http://dpw.lacounty.gov/ldd/web/). Biofiltration systems shall be entirely open-bottom.
C. When evaluating the potential for onsite retention, each projects must consider the maximum potential for evapotranspiration from green roofs and rainfall harvest and reuse for both indoor and outdoor use.
D. To demonstrate technical infeasibility, it must be shown that a project site cannot reliably retain 100 percent of the SWQDv onsite. Technical infeasibility may result from the following:
i. The infiltration rate of saturated in-situ soils less than 0.3 inch per hour. ii. Seasonal high ground water is within 5 to 10 feet of the surface. iii. Locations within 100 feet of a ground water well used for drinking water. iv. Brownfield development sites where infiltration poses a risk of pollutant mobilization. v. Locations with potential geotechnical hazards.
E. When technical infeasibility has been demonstrated the site must biofiltrate using the following equation for volume required:
Bv = 1.5 * [SWQDv – Rv] Where: Bv = Biofiltration volume SWQDv = Stormwater runoff as defined in 88 A
Rv = Volume reliably retained onsite (amount infiltrated) Show volumes and flow rates on plans as applicable.
Note: For additional alternative compliance measures see Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. R4-2012-0175 section VI.D.7.c.iii (http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/losangeles/water_issues/programs/stormwater/municipal/index.shtml) F. Project sites that outlet to natural drainage systems that are subject to hydromodification shall be in compliance with LA County’s LID manual, Section 8 (available at http://dpw.lacounty.gov/ldd/web/).
G. The plans must show complete construction details, materials, manufacturer, model number, dimensions, location, structures, slopes, construction notes, specifications, cross sections, elevations, GPS x-y coordinates for each BMP, and setbacks from property lines needed to construct proposed LID BMPs. BMPs should be designed as not to adversely impact building foundations, pavement, slope stability, or an adjacent property.
H. Clearly show driveway/access road drainage and provide BMPs for treatment of driveway flows. Provide elevations, cross sections, or slopes as applicable.
I. Submit and obtain approval from Environmental Programs Division, Industrial Waste Unit at 900 S. Fremont, Alhambra, Annex Building, 3rd floor, Alhambra, CA 91803. Please contact EPD by email at [email protected] or call (626) 458-3517 for required fees and submittal requirements. An annual operating permit may be required. , . Please note:
prior to obtaining approval from EPD the location and the design flows for all BMPs must be shown on plans and approved by Building and Safety (This applies to all non-residential projects).
J. Pre-treatment BMPs are required.
135
63. Non-Designated Projects.
Non-residential development (Commercial, Industrial) or a residential development consisting of 5 or more residential units:
□ Development which alters less than 50% of impervious surfaces. Only proposed new impervious areas needs to meet LID requirements.
□ Development which alters 50% or more of impervious surfaces. Entire site shall meet LID requirements.
A. This project is required to retain the Delta Storm Water Quality Design Volume (∆SWQDv), the difference between the stormwater runoff volume pre- and post-condition. The SWQDv, from which the ∆SWQDv is calculated, is defined in item 85A of this grading review sheet. ∆SWQDv is defined as the difference in the runoff volume between undeveloped (1% impervious surface) and post-developed condition. The ∆SWQDv is calculated according to the following equation:
∆SWQDv = Vd – Vu
Where: ∆SWQDv = Increase in stormwater runoff volume from the project [ft3]; Vd = Stormwater runoff volume post-development [ft3]; and Vu = Undeveloped stormwater runoff volume [ft3] (1% impervious).
If ∆SWQDv cannot be infiltrated due to geotechnical or technical feasibility as indicated in Section 7 of the County’s LID Manual; onsite storage or other water conservation requirements must be implemented.
B. Provide calculations for sizing of the proposed BMP’s. Calculations must consider ∆SWQDv, percolation rate, and geotechnical considerations.
C. Plans must show complete construction details, materials, manufacturer, model number, dimensions, location, structures, slopes, construction notes, specifications, cross sections, elevations, GPS x and y coordinates for each BMP, and setbacks from property lines needed to construct proposed LID BMPs. BMPs should be designed as not to adversely impact building foundations, pavement, slope stability, or an adjacent property.
D. Hydrology Calculations to determine the increase in volume due to development is required. For smaller sites, the County’s Hydrocalc Program may be used for determining Pre- and Post-construction volumes. See Section 6 of County’s LID Manual. • A drain system is required for all infiltration basins. Drain systems shall discharge to an approved location and must be shown on site drainage or grading plans. Calculations for sizing of the infiltration basins are required.
64. For LID compliance, all catch basins and inlets that discharge into an existing or proposed storm drain must be labeled to discourage illegal dumping of pollutants. Stencils are available at your local Building and Safety office.
65. All infiltration basins, dry wells, or planters must comply with the following setbacks Infiltration Facility Setbacks*
Setback from Distance in feet
Property lines & Public Right of Way 5’ minimum
Any Foundation 15’ or within a 1:1 plane drawn up from the bottom of foundation Face of any slope H/2, 5’ minimum (H is height of slope)* Seasonal high ground water 10’ minimum depth to invert
Water wells 100’ minimum
Required Infiltration Time (due to vector control)
BMP Type Duration
Open above ground (includes planting soil or open gravel pit) 48 hours to drain completely Underground retention 96 hours to drain completely
*unless otherwise recommended by a Soils Engineer and approved by Geotechnical and Materials Engineering Division.

FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT:
A HEARING REGARDING A NUISANCE ABATEMENT AT 6
SADDLEBACK ROAD (LOT 18-RH), AND CONSIDERATION OF A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS DECLARING THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO BE A
PUBLIC NUISANCE AND ORDERING THE ABATEMENT THEREOF
DATE: August 12, 2024
BACKGROUND:
On or about February 29, 2024, City Staff was alerted to the fact that there was rubbish, debris, and construction material being improperly stored outdoors at 6 Saddleback Road (Lot 18-RH). A visit to the site revealed that the rubbish, debris, and construction materials were stored outdoors and visible from a neighboring property and the street. City Staff notified the property owners, Mr. and Mrs. Terry and Margaret Reiter (“Property Owners”), that the rubbish, debris, and construction material on the Subject Property was a violation of Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Section 8.24.010 and requested that they abate this nuisance condition. RHMC Section 8.24.010 reads:
“For the purposes of this chapter, a "nuisance" shall be defined as anything which is injurious to health or safety, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property or injurious to the stability of real property so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, or unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use, in the customary manner, of any street, and affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal.” The Owners were given until March 14, 2024, to comply. Despite continued attempts to gain the Property Owners’ compliance, the rubbish, debris, and construction material remained (Attachment 1).
137
On March 19, 2024, City Staff sent a second notice to the Owners, indicating that the items must be removed no later than April 2, 2024. This deadline passed, and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort to abate the nuisance condition on the Subject Property (Attachment 2).
On May 15, 2024, the City Attorney’s office sent a third notice to the Owners and indicated that said items must be removed within 30 calendar days of said notice, or June 14, 2024. This deadline passed and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort towards abatement of the nuisance condition on the Subject Property (Attachment 3).
On July 11, 2024, City Staff sent a Notice to Abate to the Property Owners, requiring them to abate the identified nuisance within 15 days from the date of the Notice, or July 26, 2024. If the conditions in the Notice were not abated, or if the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort toward abatement to the satisfaction of the City Manager by July 26, 2024, then a hearing would be scheduled before the City Council on August 12, 2024 (Attachment 4).
City Council's Review of Nuisance Violations
Nuisance violations reviewed by the City Council are infrequent. In the past twenty years, only three properties have been referred to the City Council for nuisance violations: 1 Poppy Trail, 9 Chuckwagon Road, and 38 Portuguese Bend Road. In 2005 and 2006, the City Council reviewed 1 Poppy Trail because of landslide concerns (Resolution Nos. 996 and 1014). The council ordered the owner to abate the condition to prevent further landslides. Subsequently, the slope was repaired.
In 2008, the City Council deemed 9 Chuckwagon Road a nuisance due to a lack of landscape maintenance and poor property conditions, and the owner was ordered to abate the nuisance (Resolution No. 1042). The property was sold in 2010, and the new owner improved it by constructing a stable and corral around 2014.
In 2017, the City Council ordered the owners of 38 Portuguese Bend Road to abate unpermitted dirt, rocks, and concrete material stored on the property near a canyon (Resolution Nos. 1205 and 1215). Subsequently, the Planning Commission approved an application to retain the material, conduct grading, and abate the violation (Resolution No. 2017-18).
DISCUSSION:
It is the duty of every person who owns or is in possession of any property, place, or area within the boundaries of the City to maintain the property, place, or area free from any nuisance. (RHMC Section 8.24.020.) RHMC Section 8.32.060(B) further states: “No person shall intentionally throw, deposit, place, leave, maintain or permit to be thrown, deposited, placed, left or maintained or kept, any refuse, rubbish, garbage, or any other discarded or abandoned objects, articles or accumulations, on or upon any roadway, driveway, trail, canyon, storm drain, inlet, catch basin conduit or drainage structure, or upon any private plot of land in the City, so that the same might be or become a pollutant .” (Emphasis added). Any condition in violation of Chapter 8.32 is a public nuisance (RHMC Section 8.32.100(A)(1)(a)).
Pursuant to Sections 8.24.040 and 8.24.050 of RHMC, the City Council may conduct a hearing to consider any protest of the Property Owner, possessor, or other interested person regarding the condition of the Subject Property. If the City Council determines that the property at 6 Saddleback Road constitutes a condition that is injurious to the public health, safety, and welfare by violating Section 8.32.060(B) of RHMC such that it is a public nuisance pursuant to 138
Chapter 8.24 and Section 8.21.100(A)(1)(a) of RHMC, then the City Council may order the Property Owners to remove all of the rubbish, debris, and construction material being improperly stored outdoors within 30 days. In the event the property owners fail to complete the measures specified above by the specific dates, the City can perform the corrective measures at the Property Owners’ expense as authorized in Section 8.24.060 of RHMC.
Conclusion
Should the City Council find that the condition of the property continues to constitute a public nuisance within the meaning of the Municipal Code, the attached Resolution contains an order to abate the violation, and states that should the Property Owners fail to perform abatement, the City will either, with the property owner’s consent or under the authority of a new abatement warrant, engage services of a contractor to remediate the site at the property owners’ expense.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the nuisance is not abated by the Property Owners voluntarily, the City may abate the nuisance by seeking an Abatement Warrant from the local Superior Court at the expense of the Property Owners. If the total cost of abating the nuisance is not paid to the City within 10 days after notice is given, the City Clerk may record, in the Office of the County Recorder, a statement of the total balance due to the City, which shall constitute a lien upon the property.
In the alternative to a warrant, the City may proceed with filing a nuisance lawsuit and request the appointment of a receiver to clean up the property and recover costs through the litigation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Open the public hearing, consider all testimony and, upon consideration of the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 1375 (Attachment 5) declaring the condition to constitute a public nuisance and ordering the abatement thereof within 30 days of the order pursuant to RHMC Section 8.24.060.

Re: Municipal Code Violations at 6 Saddleback Road, Rolling Hills Dear Terry Reiter and Margaret Reiter:
Our office serves as City Attorney for the City of Rolling Hills (“City”). It is our responsibility to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute violations of City’s laws. You have been referred to this office for an enforcement action because the City has determined that you are maintaining municipal code violations at the real property located at 6 Saddleback Road, Rolling Hills, California 90274, Assessor’s Parcel Number 7569-003-001 (“Subject Property”), in violation of numerous provisions of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (“RHMC”).
Specifically, on February 29, 2024, the City contacted you regarding the substandard condition of your property with visible scattered debris and construction materials. Despite ample time to remove the nuisance conditions from your property, all the violations still remain. These substandard conditions you are maintaining on the Subject Property are in violation of the RHMC.
As the current owner, you have a legal obligation to ensure that the Subject Property is maintained in compliance with all applicable laws at all times. Maintaining substandard property conditions in violation of the RHMC may constitute a criminal misdemeanor offense. Each day that the violation persists constitutes a separate misdemeanor offense.
Given that the City has had prior contact with you and attempted to help in remedying this issue, our office is compelled to prescribe a compliance deadline. Our office strenuously encourages you to comply with the following compliance deadline to avoid formal enforcement measures.
Please be advised that our office may proceed with legal enforcement proceedings against you, including, but not limited to, the filing of a misdemeanor criminal complaint against you in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, unless you comply with the following corrective action:

HILLS DECLARING THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 6 SADDLEBACK ROAD TO BE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND
ORDERING THE ABATEMENT THEREOF (LOT 18-RH) (REITER)
The City Council of the City of Rolling Hills does hereby find, resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. It is the duty of every person that owns or is in possession of any property, place or area within the boundaries of the City to maintain the property, place or area free from any nuisance. (Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.24.020.) Section 8.32.060(B) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code states: “No person shall intentionally throw, deposit, place, leave, maintain or permit to be thrown, deposited, placed, left or maintained or kept, any refuse, rubbish, garbage, or any other discarded or abandoned objects, articles or accumulations, on or upon any roadway, driveway, trail, canyon, storm drain, inlet, catch basin conduit or drainage structure, or upon any private plot of land in the City, so that the same might be or become a pollutant.” (Emphasis added.) Any condition in violation of Chapter 8.32 is a public nuisance. (Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.32.100(A)(1)(a).)
B. On or about February 29, 2024, City Staff was alerted to the fact that there is rubbish, debris, and construction material being improperly stored outdoors at certain real property in the City of Rolling Hills commonly known as 6 Saddleback Road (Lot 18- RH) (hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Property”). A visit to the site revealed that the rubbish, debris, and construction material was stored outdoors and visible from a neighboring property and the street.
C. On February 29, 2024, City Staff notified the owners of the Subject Property, Mr. and Mrs. Terry and Margaret Reiter (“Property Owners”), that the rubbish, debris, and construction material on the Subject Property was a violation of Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.24.010 and requested that they abate this nuisance condition. Section

Resolution No. 1375 2
although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal.” The Owners were given until March 14, 2024, to comply. Despite continued attempts to gain the Property Owners’ compliance, the rubbish, debris, and construction material remain on the Subject Property.
D. On March 19, 2024, City Staff sent a second notice to the Owners and indicated that said items must be removed no later than April 2, 2024. This deadline passed and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort towards abatement of the nuisance condition on the Subject Property.
E. On May 15, 2024, the City Attorney’s office sent a third notice to the Owners and indicated that said items must be removed within 30 calendar days of said notice, or June 14, 2024. This deadline passed and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort towards abatement of the nuisance condition on the Subject Property.
F. On July 11, 2024, City Staff sent a Notice to Abate to the Property Owners that required the Owners to abate the identified nuisance within 15 days from the date of the Notice, or July 26, 2024. If the conditions in the Notice were not abated, or if the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort toward abatement to the satisfaction of the City Manager by July 26, 2024, then a hearing would be scheduled before the City Council on August 12, 2024.
Section 2. Pursuant to Sections 8.24.040 and 8.24.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, the City Council conducted a hearing on August 12, 2024, to consider any protest of the Property Owner, possessor or other interested person regarding the condition of the Subject Property.
Section 3. Upon consideration of the staff report, related documents and the evidence presented at the time of the hearing, the City Council determines that the property at 6 Saddleback Road constitutes a condition that is injurious to the public health, safety and welfare by violating Section 8.32.060(B) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code such that it is a public nuisance pursuant to Chapter 8.24 and Section 8.21.100(A)(1)(a) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
Section 4. In accordance with the foregoing, and because it is the duty of property owners to maintain their properties free of nuisances, the City Council orders that the Property Owners remove all of the rubbish, debris, and construction material being improperly stored outdoors of the Subject Property within 30 days of the date of this Resolution but no later than September 11, 2024. In the event the property owners fail to complete the measures specified above by the specific dates the City will perform the corrective measures at the Property Owners’ expense as authorized in Section 8.24.060 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.

THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH S&K
CONSULTING SERVICES TO PROVIDE AN ENGINEERING DESIGN
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A DUAL-FUEL EMERGENCY GENERATOR
ON THE CITY HALL CAMPUS AT A NOT-TO-EXCEED FEE OF $54,879 DATE: August 12, 2024
BACKGROUND:
A diesel back-up power generator served the City Hall campus for many years, but the unit became inoperable in 2019. In late 2020, the City Council commissioned professional expertise to offer options for providing reliable back-up power to the City Hall campus, including the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) building and operations.
Between October 2020 and March 2023, the City Council reviewed options provided by a professional architectural and engineering team working on the City Hall ADA project. In 2021, the architectural and engineering team provided a solar panel and battery back-up solution with estimated installation costs, based on the following requirements, to be approximately $250,000:
Current City Hall campus demand based on electric bills for 2020/2021 Supply 24 hours of backup power
16 kWh battery backup
75 kW Solar Photovoltaic (Solar-PV) system
The City Council subsequently assigned further exploration to the RHCA. After some time, the RHCA requested that city staff take back ownership of a project, which City staff brought to the City Council. On March 27, 2023, the City Council directed staff to explore the solar/battery back-up power option. With this direction, city staff could approach the project conventionally by preparing an engineering design and advertising for construction bids or considering other alternatives as presented to the former City Manager.
On April 24, 2023, at the invitation of the former City Manager, SitelogIQ, an energy solutions company, presented an alternate approach to delivering the solar/battery backup power 151
solution to the City Council. SitelogIQ is a licensed General Contractor delivering energy infrastructure programs for State and local governments. SitelogIQ discussed available funds from the Federal government, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that could offset local government expenditures on energy projects. Such projects involve the installation or modification of improvements to an energy-efficient or renewable energy system.
Via the IRA, the Federal government allows the city to obtain a federal tax credit in the form of a direct payment (i.e., rebate) for energy storage (battery), electrical infrastructure, solar, and microgrid controllers. The rebate could be as high as 30% of the project cost, provided the project is completed within a specific timeframe.
In the previous four years, City staff had many successes securing grant funds or other fund sources to offset the use of the General Fund for City projects. To move forward and execute a backup power project, the City Council was presented with two options: 1) to set aside a projected budget surplus or 2) use savings from the General Fund Reserves. In the SitelogIQ approach, the City could potentially save on design engineering costs by sole sourcing the project to SitelogIQ, thereby offsetting General Fund expenditures with SitelogIQ assisting the City in utilizing the Federal government's IRA rebate.
In May 2023, SitelogIQ provided City staff with a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for consideration.
The LOA outlined SitelogIQ's scope of services to develop an energy project that satisfies the city's requirements for a design/engineering cost of $28,500. If the city had ultimately chosen to enter into a contract with SitelogIQ for project implementation within 60 days after receiving a formal presentation of the proposed project, SitelogIQ's design and engineering fee would have been waived. Beyond the aforementioned 60 days, the fee paid would have been credited toward the project's total implementation cost. The California Government Code 4217.10 provides the ability for public agencies to sole source the project delivery to SitelogIQ as long as the requirements of the code section are met.
On June 12, 2023, given last year's staff vacancies, the lack of technical expertise on energy projects, the then workload to deliver the CalOES/FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program grants, and the possibility to offset ongoing General Fund expenditures for the backup power project, the City Council accepted staff's recommendation and directed staff to engage the services of SitelogIQ.
On June 26, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with SitelogIQ.
SitelogIQ conducted an initial site walk over the summer and fall of 2023 to determine the program's scope and scale.
SitelogIQ's project team developed a comprehensive scope of work around resiliency that provides a turn-key design-build solution to the City. They compiled a 20-year program cash flow incorporating ongoing maintenance and operations that was reviewed by the former Interim City Manager and current City Manager / staff.
On December 14, 2023, SiteLogiQ presented their findings and proformas to the City Council as two options:
Option 1 – Cash deal for the entire scope of work
Option 2 (No EV) – Cash deal for a scope of work without EV Charging 152
The City Council provided SiteLogiQ with direction to explore solutions that were more cost effective including the use of natural gas/propane backup solutions versus the proposed battery storage option, and to research other potential grants that could offset capital investment.
On March 11, 2024, City staff presented that since December 2023, SiteLogiQ had revisited the program approach, with a focus on the scope and scale of the Solar-PV system and Energy Storage. Per City Council's direction, they performed the following tasks:
Kept the Solar-PV system at approximately the same size and in the same location; Removed the EV charging station;
Removed the energy storage system;
Introduced a dual-fuel energy generator to the solution mix for City Hall only due to RHCA decision to install their own back-up generator;
Reviewed utility cost avoidance projections based on the change of scope; Solicited budgetary pricing from vendors and subcontractors for equipment and installation labor;
Reviewed the IRA application and recalculated the predicted credit value based on 30- 40% of the eligible cost;
Reviewed and qualified Utility and CEC programs (March 5, 2024); Developed summary table for presentation to staff.
The City Council requested that SiteLogiQ provide specific schematics and bottom-line costs for both Option B (Photovoltaic Solar System with dual-fuel backup generator) and Option C (dual-fuel backup generator only) at the March 25, 2024 Council meeting.
On March 25, 2024, staff presented a follow-up report per direction and provided answers to outstanding questions or concerns. The City Council deferred a decision until SiteLogiQ could present a cost estimate for a Solar / Dual-fuel backup generator serving both City Hall campus buildings.
On April 9, SitelogIQ conducted another site visit at both City Hall and the RHCA building. The purpose was to address constructability concerns and introduce additional suppliers / vendors to the potential project. Accompanying SitelogIQ were representatives from a roofing contractor, an electrical contractor, and a vendor representative for the proposed generator system. The review of the electrical system yielded no significant changes to the project approach.
The representative for the generator system evaluated alternative locations—near the City Hall building versus near the existing generator shed—and system capacities to meet the load requirements of the entire campus (City Hall and RHCA). The recommendation was to keep the generator at or adjacent to the shed to minimize electrical costs and reduce noise disturbances when in operation. This location will also provide better access for future maintenance. It was also noted that the Gas Company will need to upgrade the meter to handle the increased fuel requirements (Typically, at no additional cost to the project due to an upgraded service change).
On April 22, 2024, based on Council feedback, staff recommended that the City Council consider a whole-campus Solar/Dual-Fuel Backup Generator option with a net-implementation budget and one-time capital cost investment of $358,400 (after the receipt of estimated IRA 153
funding).
DISCUSSION:
At the April 22, 2024 City Council meeting, a motion passed 4/1 approving pursuit of installing Option C, a dual-fuel emergency generator covering the entire City Hall campus including the Rolling Hills Community Association building and directing staff to advertise for construction bids.
Staff subsequently determined, with guidance from the City Attorney, that a turn-key design/build scenario would not be allowable under government code. Therefore, the city is required to undertake a two-step process and hire an engineering design firm to prepare the construction documents and scope in preparation for a formal bid.
S&K has previously provided outstanding services to the city in preparation for the 2023 HVAC replacement project as well as ongoing support through the construction/installation and final set-up. Staff recommends utilizing their expertise for the dual-fuel emergency generator project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
At the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the FY 23-24 budget was approved, including a capital allocation of $250,000 to the City Hall campus back-up power project.
The $54,879 cost for engineering, design, and construction support includes the proposed $49,890 fee and a 10% contingency amount of $4,989.
The City has already expended $28,500 as a fee for services provided by SiteLogiQ in pursuit of a Design/Build Solar/Back Generator solution.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve as presented.

01. BACKGROUND
A. The City of Rolling Hills City Hall/Community Association Building is currently equipped with one electrical service.
There is one generator building on site with an existing ATS.
B. The City has tasked S&K Consulting Services to provide a dual fuel generator system on site to support the electrical load of both existing buildings.
02. SCOPE OF WORK
A. Provide a dual fuel generator system on site to support the electrical load of both existing buildings.
B. The existing on-site generation building will be slightly modified to accommodate an indoor generator with exhaust pipe penetrations.
C. Adjacent to the generator building, a concrete pad will be placed to support an above ground propane fuel tank.
D. The existing utility natural gas line will be modified and extended to supply the generator. Depending on the generator and existing buildings natural gas fuel consumptions, a new utility metered natural gas line may be required.
E. Civil scope of work includes:
1. Provide limited civil and structural engineering design services in support of the electrical scope of work.
2. Anticipated civil and structural design scope include coordinating site power distribution feeders and control conduits, as well as generator and other equipment anchorage.
F. Architectural scope of work includes:
1. Provide limited architectural design services in support of the electrical scope of work.
2. Anticipated architectural design includes providing basic building analysis for the Department of Building and Safety submittals, as well as assisting with building backgrounds and other limited tasks such as fire-stopping details.
3. Modification to existing generator building structure previously housing the previous generator is not anticipated, except for penetrations for ventilation and piping. Additions or expansions of structure, or designing a new structure, is not part of scope.
PROPOSAL
164
950 Indian Peak Rd, Ste 120, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 o. 310 494 6910 e. [email protected] www.skcsi.com 2 G. Mechanical scope of work includes:
1. Provide design for new above ground propane fuel tank and associated gas piping.
2. Anticipated mechanical scope includes coordinating natural gas utility connections to new equipment.
H. Electrical scope of work includes:
1. Provide design for new generator system, including design for above ground propane fuel tank, extend utility natural gas line, and load bank (if required).
2. Design is anticipated for (1) new 208Y/120V, 3-phase, 4-wire standby generator sized based on the (1) existing electrical service switchboard.
3. The new generator will be housed within the existing generator building, open type frame, and adjacent to existing main electrical service switchboard.
4. Re-use existing Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) per City direction. Design of new ATS is not included at this time.
5. Provide design for modifying the existing main service entrance switchboard to interconnect the generator. It is unclear at this moment if the system can be intercepted near the utility incoming points, or if it is more feasible to intercept after the main distribution board and introduce a secondary distribution system.
6. Reconnect site loads to the modified system. Demolish existing generator concrete pad and modify according to new generator layout.
I. Deliverables for the project include:
1. Provide construction documents, including drawings and specifications for each deliverable milestone.
2. Submit the construction documents to Los Angeles County for plan check review comments and revise the drawings as needed to obtain approvals for permitting.
3. Provide a ROM cost estimate at 100% design.
J. Construction support.
03. CLARIFICATIONS
A. S&K will provide plan check support and revisions as required.
B. Plan check fees to be paid by the City of Rolling Hills. S&K will respond to plan check comments as needed to obtain agency approval. Pulling permit and fees associated with the plan check and permitting process are not included.
C. This proposal assumes existing generator building structure is adequate to house the new generator, including clearances. It’s not possible to confirm before sizing of new generator is complete, and exact dimension are field verified with a test fit. S&K remains committed to the success of this project, and will be available to provide a proposal to the City for additional scope should design of a new generator pad or enlarging the existing structure be 165
950 Indian Peak Rd, Ste 120, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 o. 310 494 6910 e. [email protected] www.skcsi.com 3 necessary.
D. Project schedule assumes that the utility company will not be heavily involved in the design, or that they will be responsive if involvement is needed.
E. Civil and site design is limited. This proposal assumes the site will require minimal grading design and that a relatively flat area will be available for installation of the generator and other equipment.
F. Design of low-voltage systems, including telecommunications, audio/visual systems, device controller wiring, and security systems are not included in this proposal.
G. Generator permitting (AQMD) will be by the Contractor. S&K will provide generator specifications as a part of the project manual that includes detailed requirements to hold the Contractor responsible for permitting.
H. S&K understands that the subject project location is on the Rolling Hills Estates city boundary and additional coordination may be required.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A LETTER IN OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 610 (WIENER), FIRE PREVENTION AND LOCAL DISCRETIONAL REVIEW.
DATE: August 12, 2024
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 610 (SB 610) – Fire Prevention and Local Discretionary Review is a component of California legislation introduced by Senator Scott Wiener. This bill is part of a broader effort to address California's ongoing housing crisis by streamlining the process for approving housing developments, particularly in areas where local governments may be prone to delay or deny projects due to concerns like fire safety (Attachment E).
This staff report will provide information about SB 610 from those supporting and opposing the bill. Furthermore, Staff seeks direction from the City Council to authorize the Mayor to sign a letter opposing SB 610 (Attachment A). Additionally, Staff requests authorization to work with the Mayor to update the letter as needed if significant amendments to SB 610 are made.
DISCUSSION:
SB 610 is currently before the Assembly Appropriations Committee and was scheduled to be heard on August 7. At the time of preparing this staff report, no new information on its status was provided. Staff will share updates on its current status this evening.
For purposes of this evening's discussion, staff is presenting information on SB 610 from those in support and opposition to the bill.
In Opposition:
Concerns about Senate Bill 610 center on the limitation of local government authority to deny housing projects based on fire safety risks. Critics worry that the bill could lead to housing 174
developments in fire-prone areas, without adequate consideration of local hazards, potentially increasing the danger to residents. Additionally, the shift of control from the local to the state level is seen as potentially undermining local expertise and the ability to address unique community needs (Attachment B).
The Center for Biological Diversity has sought support from agencies to write letters; such as the City of Santa Rosa (Attachment D) opposing SB 610 and has written a letter opposing the legislation themselves (enclosed with Attachment A). The coalition's letter expresses strong opposition to SB 610, arguing it will increase Californians' vulnerability to wildfires by reshaping fire and housing policies. It abolishes the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps, which are crucial for guiding fire mitigation and land-use planning. Also, it centralizes decisionmaking related to fire hazard designations in the hands of the State Fire Marshal. This removes local control, and SB 610 aims to increase development in fire-prone areas, which dismisses existing safety regulations, to name a few.
In Support:
SB 610 seeks to ensure a consistent application of wildfire mitigations for new development in areas at risk from wildfires. More specifically, the bill realigns various existing mitigations under the State Fire Marshal (SFM) and requires the SFM to use a science-based and public process to map the area where these mitigations would be required to ensure a resilient California (Attachment B).
Supporters of SB 610 include the California Building Industry, California Municipal Utilities Association, Housing Action Coalition, and Yimby Action.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the information provided and tonight's discussion, Staff is seeking direction from the City Council to authorize the Mayor to sign a letter opposing SB 610 (Attachment A).
Additionally, staff requests authorization to work with the Mayor to update the letter as needed if significant amendments to SB 610 are made.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign a letter opposing Senate Bill 610 (Wiener), Fire Prevention, and Local Discretional Review, and if significant amendments are made to the Bill, authorize staff to work with the mayor to update the letter.

Subject: Oppose Senate Bill 610 - Fire Prevention and Local Discretionary Review Dear Senator Wiener,
Our state is burning. We are at risk. It is unconscionable and unnecessary to rush through major changes in fire policy — as SB 610 does — with a “gut and amend” bill. Why is there such urgency to eliminate the trusted FHSZ maps? There are many unanswered questions about the intentions and consequences of “Wildfire Mitigation Areas.”
As the coalition letter from the Center for Biological Diversity urges, the state should “table this bill until next year and instead engage with stakeholders on improving the state’s fire and housing policies.”
Sincerely,
Leah Mirsch
Mayor

Re: SB-610 Fire prevention: wildfire mitigation area: defensible space: State Fire Marshal – OPPOSE
Dear Governor Newsom, Chair Caballero, President pro Tempore McGuire, Speaker Rivas, and Chair Wicks,
On behalf of thousands of our members and supporters in California, the undersigned organizations are writing to express our deep concern with Senate Bill 610 (Wiener) which will fundamentally reshape California fire and housing policy and make Californians more vulnerable to wildfire. The bill would completely abolish the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps that guide mitigation strategies and land use planning for development in fire-risk areas. The bill would also centralize all decision making in the hands of just one person: the State Fire Marshal.
SB 610’s stated intent is to increase development in high-risk areas, and—quite shockingly—do so without existing regulations designed to protect communities. The bill’s fact sheet inappropriately dismisses such regulations as “costly building standards, 178
July 25, 2024
increased disaster planning and mitigation requirements.”1 This proposal is directly at odds with the recommendations of the Governor’s Strike Force, which urged the state to “begin to deprioritize new development in areas of the most extreme fire risk. In turn, more urban and lower-risk regions in the state must prioritize increasing infill development and overall housing production.”2 We were therefore shocked and surprised to see this bill—which was introduced near the end of the legislative process via a “gut-and-amend” tactic—backed by the Governor’s Office.
SB 610 perpetuates the false narrative that new large-scale development in fire risk areas is safe. While mitigation such as home hardening and defensible space can make homes in fire zones less risky, such measures only reduce the risk of burning. For instance, an analysis conducted in the aftermath of the Camp Fire showed that only 44 percent of homes built to current Chapter 7A building codes survived, meaning 56 percent were destroyed (and only 11.5 percent of older homes built before 1997 survived).3 Evacuation routes are also already stressed past the breaking point. 4 The
“build first, ask questions later” approach of the past is causing extreme personal and economic hardship on Californians, and this bill would make these existing problems far worse.
New development in high-risk areas supported by SB 610 will increase ignition risk, as we already know that 95 to 97 percent of contemporary wildfires in California are caused by human sources.
5 The legislative analysis for SB 610 in the Assembly
Natural Resources Committee similarly notes: “Residential developments in the WUI and other wildfire prone areas can significantly increase the risks of wildfires and the risk to public safety.”
New development supported by SB 610 will not help solve the affordable housing crisis, but it will make Californians less safe. Since 2016 more than 200 people in California have been killed in wildfires, more than 50,000 structures have been burned down, hundreds of thousands have had to evacuate their homes and endure power outages, and millions have been exposed to unhealthy levels of smoke and air pollution.6 New development in high-risk areas will obstruct existing communities’ evacuation routes and lead to more disruption of natural fire regimes, degradation of 1 Senator Scott Wiener, Senate Bill 610 Fact Sheet (June 14, 2024).

California’s ecosystems and wildlife as well as increased medical emergencies and premature death of vulnerable community members.
7 SB 610 will do nothing to address the availability or affordability of insurance. As The California Department of Insurance’s Climate Insurance Working Group observes:
“Land use decisions in the past are one of the causes of insurability problems today . . .housing that burns down [] is not an affordable or equitable option . . . .”8 Nonetheless, the fact sheet for SB 610 incorrectly suggests that changing the names of very high fire hazard severity zones to the more benign sounding “wildfire mitigation areas” will somehow help reduce insurance rates. The best way to decrease insurance rates is to actually reduce risk by supporting home hardening programs for existing communities and limiting new development in high-risk areas.
Cities and counties play a critical role in reducing wildfire risk, and existing law allows them to designate areas as fire zones (so long as the hazard designation equals or exceeds the state hazard rating) and implement wildfire mitigation regulations based on scientific information and on-the-ground conditions. SB 610 would remove this longstanding authority and fully centralize such designations and decision making in the hands of the State Fire Marshal, an unelected official. SB 610 would undermine local accountability and government transparency, and increase the likelihood of political interference in state and local wildfire policy.
Cities and counties can and should continue to plan for new development in safer areas. As Los Angeles County has shown, regional housing needs allocation goals can all be met by directing new development outside of fire zones. California does not need to keep building in high-risk areas to provide safe housing for all.
SB 610 was introduced last month via a “gut-and-amend” tactic such that there is insufficient time for stakeholders and elected officials to fully review this bill or propose amendments. We urge you to table this bill until next year and instead engage with stakeholders on improving the state’s fire and housing policies.
