RESOLUTION NO. 90-38
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A TENNIS COURT
AND SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR A
TENNIS COURT IN ZONING CASE NO. 440
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 Dr. Stephen
Taus with respect to real property located at 1 Poppy Trail,
Rolling Hills (Lot 90-B-RH) requesting a Conditional Use Permit to
construct and maintain a 7,000-square foot tennis court within an
existing riding ring on said property and for site plan review
approval of the proposed tennis court.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the application on September 18, 1990 and
October 16, 1990 and conducted field site review on October 6, 1990.
Section 3. Section 17.16.012 (E) of the Municipal Code
provides for the discretion of the Planning Commission to grant a
Conditional Use Permit for a tennis court, subject to certain
conditions outlined in Section 17.16.012 (E)(1-14).
Section 4. The Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan; and be desirable to the public
convenience and welfare because the proposed tennis court
would have minimal impact to the site and surrounding
properties since the tennis court will be secluded and
removed from the roadway, no grading is required since the
tennis court will be constructed within an existing flat
area of a riding ring and existing mature landscaping and
new planting will provide screening of the court.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan, because the proposed project
will comply with the setback requirements, and its size
will not cause the total lot coverage of all structures on
the site to exceed the twenty percent maximum structural
lot coverage. Further, the project requires no extensive
grading, and thereby will be compatible with the site and
surrounding properties.
• •
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Conditional Use Permit for Zoning Case
No. 440 to construct and maintain a tennis court as indicated on the
development plan submitted with the application and incorporated
herein by reference as Exhibit A subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 8 of this Resolution.
Section 6. Section 17.34.010 requires a development plan to
be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building or
structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration
or repair to existing buildings may be made which involve changes to
grading or an increase to the size of the building or structure by
more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month
period.
Section 7. The Planning Commission makes the following
findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General
Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the
proposed structure complies with the General Plan
requirement of low profile, low density residential
development with sufficient open space between surrounding
structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback
and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square
foot area of 184,824 square feet. The proposed tennis
court, existing residence, garage, swimming pool and
stables will have 21,136 square feet which constitutes
11.5% of the lot, which is substantially less than the
maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total
lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be
37,462 square feet which equals 20.3 of the lot, which is
within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement.
The proposed project is similar and compatible with
neighboring development patterns.
B. The proposed development preserves and integrates into the
site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing
natural topographic features of the lot including
surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage
courses, and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls)
because extensive grading is not required and healthy
mature trees will not be removed, thereby retaining the
current drainage pattern and landscape screening for the
site.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site
to minimize grading because the project will be constructed
upon the existing riding ring pad, thereby requiring no
extensive grading.
D. The development plan incorporates large existing trees to
an extent and surrounding native vegetation and supplements
it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances
the rural character of the community.
• •
E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural
and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building
coverage because construction will occur at a secluded
place on the site and as indicated in paragraph A, the
structural lot coverage is substantially less than that
is permitted.
F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences because as indicated in paragraph A, lot
coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed and
existing development on the site is of consistent scale
with other similar developments within the City, and no
grading is required.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental
to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians
and vehicles because the tennis court will be secluded and
removed from the roadway beyond required setbacks.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically
exempt from environmental review.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for
Zoning Case No. 440 for a proposed tennis court on the property
located at 1 Poppy Trail, as indicated on the development plan
incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the following
conditions:
A. The conditional Use Permit shall expire unless used within
one year from the date of the Permit is granted.
B. If any provision of the Conditional Use Permit is held or
declared to be invalid, the permit shall be void and the
privileges granted thereunder shall lapse.
C. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use
Permit that if any conditions thereof are violated, the
Permit shall be suspended and the privileges granted
thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has
been given written notice to cease such violation and has
failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days.
D. All requirements of 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.
E. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial
conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A
except as otherwise provided in these conditions.
• •
F. No grading shall be permitted.
G. Court lighting shall not be permitted.
H. The existing riding ring fence shall remain. The Tennis
Court fences shall be a maximum of eight (8') feet in
height above the surface level of the court.
I. The two (2) existing stables shall remain for horsekeeping
and related uses only.
J. A landscaping plan must be submitted to the City of Rolling
Hills Planning Department staff for approval. The plan
submitted must comply with the purpose and intent of the
Site Plan Review Ordinance. A bond in the amount of the
cost estimate for the landscaping plus 15% shall be posted
and retained with the City for not less than two years
after landscape installation. The retained bond will be
released by the City after the City Manager (or the
Landscape Committee of the Rolling Hills Community
Association, if appointed to act for this purpose in the
place of the City Manager) determines that the landscaping
was installed pursuant to the landscaping plan as approved,
and that such landscaping is properly established and in
good condition. The landscape plan shall incorporate
specimen (36" box) trees to landscape the view from El
Concho Lane and Georgeff Road.
K. A drainage system shall be incorporated into the overall
plan of the court and landscaping, which drainage system
shall be approved by the City and the County of Los
Angeles.
L. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan
to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed
grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and
hydrology reports that conform to the Development Plan as
approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to
the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their
review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the City of
Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio.
M. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling
Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee
prior to the issuance of any building permit for the
proposed tennis court.
N. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of
Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to
the Development Plan approved with this application.
. • •
1990.
O. Any modifications to the project which would constitute a
modification to the Development Plan as approved by the
Planning Commission, shall require the filing of an
application for modification of the Development Plan
pursuant to Section 17.34.070 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code.
P. Applicant shall execute an affidavit of acceptance of all
conditions pursuant to Section 17.32.087 or this
Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review shall not be
effective.
Q. All conditions of this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan
Review approvals must be complied with prior to the
issuance of a building permit from the County of Los
Angeles.
