COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of the Application
of
Mr. Harry Gelles
Lot 23-FT
ZONING CASE NO. 233
FINDINGS AND REPORT
The application of Mr. Harry Gelles, Lot 23-FT, Flying Tri-
angle Tract, for a conditional use permit under Section 3.01 (D),
Paragraph 3 (a) of Ordinance No. 150 came on for hearing on the 21st
day of August, 1979 in the Council Chambers of the Administration
Building, 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, California, and the
applicant, having submitted evidence in support of the application,
the Planning Commission, being advised, now makes its Findings and
Report as required by the Ordinances of the City of Rolling Hills,
California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicant, Mr. Harry Gelles,
is the owner of that certain real property described as Lot 23-FT,
located at 3 Running Brand Road in the City of Rolling Hills, and
that notice of the public hearing in connection with said application
was given as required by Sections 8.06 and 8.07 of Ordinance No. 33
of the City of Rolling Hills, California. The Commission finds, further,
that no comment, written or verbal, was received in opposition to the
request, and that Mrs. Catherine Partridge, 69 Portuguese Bend Road,
called to say that she had no objection to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicant has requested a
conditional use permit for construction of a tennis court in a legal
location on his property as part of the total development of the
property, to provide recreation for his family. The Commission finds
that the court would require minimum grading, and would be approximately
20 feet below the level of the tennis court on the adjacent property,
and would be screened by natural landscaping in the area. The Commis-
sion finds further that the proposed location for the tennis court is
virtually hidden from the neighbors, and cannot be seen from any road

and a conditional use permit should be granted in order to preserve
substantial property rights in the same vicinity and zone, and that
the granting of such conditional use permit would not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, nor injurious to property in the
same vicinity and zone.
III.
From the foregoing it is concluded that a conditional use
permit should be granted to Mr. Harry Gelles, Lot 23-FT, 3 Running
Brand Road for construction of a tennis court, subjectto conditions
that landscaping be approved by the Landscape Committee, no lights be
installed, fence height be limited to eight feet, grading be done in
accordance with City requirements, retaining walls be earthen color,
and that the applicant agree in writing to the conditions, since he
was not present at the meeting. The Commission finds further that if
the owner decides to build a paddle tennis court in the approved
location, rather than a full size tennis court, a revised plan must
be submitted for the Planning Commission file. It is, therefore, so
ordered.
This approval shall expire one year from the date of grant,
if not acted on.
