THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Andre Livian with respect to real property located at 10 Williamsburg Lane, Rolling Hills, CA requesting a Conditional Use Permit to maintain recently converted existing structure, (many years ago used as a stable), into a 280 square foot cabana with 240 square foot trellis. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application on May 15, 2007, June 19, 2007, and at a field trip visit on June 19, 2007. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants' representative was in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. Prior to seeking a CUP approval from the City, the applicants submitted plans for an "as built" conversion of a stable/storage structure to a pool house use to the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee, which was approved. Subsequently, the property owners applied to the City for a CUP. • Section 4. In 1993 the City approved a 1,452 square foot addition to the residence including a garage, a 600 square foot hobby shop, a swimming pool and a future stable. The 1993 application included a request to demolish the then existing 470 square foot stable, which was located on .the south side of the property, and set aside a 1,000 square foot area for a future 450 square foot stable and 550 square foot corral on the north side of the property. The construction of the additions and hobby shop were completed, however, the stable was not demolished. Section 5. The current property owners renovated the structure and converted 280 square feet of it into a cabana and constructed a 240 square foot new trellis over the pool deck, attached to the pool house. According to the property owners when they purchased the property this structure was dilapidated and used for storage. Section 6. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. • • Ctt O/ )eO//(flF, i/iiZ 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1957 — 2007 July 18, 2007 INCORPORATED JANUARY 24. 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS.

The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. • • Section 7. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a cabana under certain conditions, provided the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the conversion of a structure previously used as a stable, which was to be demolished by conditions of approval in 1993, into cabana would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, meets all the applicable development standards for a cabana, is located in an area which cannot be used for a stable due to its proximity to the existing residence (less than 35 feet) and the area proposed for the future stable and corral is located in an area on the property which is much more accessible and convenient. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a cabana will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the cabana is located in a cluster with the pool and residence to promote pad integration and is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the cabana will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the cabana complies with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is screened from neighbors view. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 280 square foot size of the cabana is less than the maximum permitted under the Municipal Code and the cabana does not encroach into any setback areas and is not located in the front. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because an adequate area is set -aside for the construction of a future stable structure and adjacent corral and the structure is screened from adjacent properties and is not obtrusive to neighbors. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the conversion of an existing structure into a 280 square foot cabana with 240 square foot attached trellis, in accordance with the development plan dated May 8, 2007 in Zoning Case No. 742 subject to the following conditions: A. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval if the conditions of approval pursuant to this Resolution have not been satisfied within that time period. RESOLUTION NO. 2007-12 ZC No. 742 2 • • B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted hereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have been given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has been provided, and if requested, has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails to correct the violation within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the City's determination. C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan.

H The disturbed area of the lot shall not exceed 38.2% of the net lot area in conformance with lot disturbance limitations. I. Residential building pad coverage on the existing 10,568 square foot residential building pad shall not exceed 4,814 square feet or 45.6%; coverage on the 6,778 square foot cabana/pool/stable pad shall not exceed 2,105 square feet or 31.1.0%. J. The area of the converted cabana shall not exceed 280 square feet with 240 square feet .attached trellis, and shall meet all requirements of the Zoning Code, which include, but is not limited to the following: a. No sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be permitted in the cabana or detached recreation rooms. K. Utility lines to the cabana shall be placed underground. L. The applicants, at their own expense, shall contact the Los Angeles County Building and Safety Department to inspect the "as built" structure and, if necessary, comply with all County building code requirements and obtain all necessary building permits for the conversion. M.

RESOLUTION NO. 2007-12 ZC No. 742 3 • • N. An adequate area of 1,000 square feet with access thereto, has been set aside for a future stable and corral and may not be graded or constructed upon, except for a future stable and corral. If grading would be required for the future stable and corral, Planning Commission approval would be required. O. Notwithstanding Section 17.46.040C of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, and condition "N" above, any modifications to the property, which would constitute additional structural development or grading, shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. P. Should modification to the construction be required by the Los Angeles County Building and Safety Department, conformance with the air quality management district requirements, stormwater pollution prevention practices, county and local ordinances and engineering practices shall be required, so that people or property are not exposed to undue vehicle trips, noise, dust, and objectionable odors. Q. Should modification to the construction be required by the Los Angeles County Building and Safety Department, an Erosion Control Plan containing the elements set forth in Section 7010 of the 2001 County of Los Angeles Uniform Building Code shall be followed to minimize erosion and to protect slopes and channels to control stormwater pollution as required by the County of Los Angeles. R. Should modification to the construction be required by the Los Angeles County Building and Safety Department, all parking shall take place on the project site and, if necessary, any overflow parking shall take place within nearby roadway easements. S. Should modification to the construction be required by the Los Angeles County Building and Safety Department, the property owners shall be required to schedule and regulate construction and related traffic noise throughout the day between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday only, when construction and mechanical equipment noise is permitted, so as not to interfere with the quiet residential environment of the City of Rolling Hills. T. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Health Department requirements for the installation and maintenance of septic tank, if required for the cabana. U. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Health Department requirements for the installation and maintenance of stormwater drainage facilities.

The property owners shall be required to conform to the City of Rolling Hills Outdoor Lighting Standards Ordinance, (Ordinance No. 287). RESOLUTION NO. 2007.12 ZC No. 742 4 X. If a drainage plan is required by the County Building and Safety Department, it shall be designed to include all water discharge from the site's irrigation system and to assure that all drainage from the site is conveyed in an approved manner and not cause erosion of the slopes. No drain structure shall be located in easements, unless approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association. Y. The project has been reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee. Z. Until the applicants execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of the Conditional Use Permit, the approval shall not be effective. AA.
