EECOMiENDOWN: The applicant will be out of town during the next two Planning Commission meetings. Therefore, it is recommended that Zoning Case No. 342 be continued to September 15, 1987. In the meantime, the Commission may wish to reflect upon the issues that are articulated in the balance of this paragraph. 1) It is not considered to be sound planning and zoning policy to retroactively approve a use in a structure that would not have been approved had the currently requested use and structural design been submitted, at the time of original construction plan review. 2> The Rolling Hills Community Association Building Regulations expressly prohibit parking facilities from being attached to or in the vicinity of a guest house or servant's quarters. 3) The City of Rolling Hills proscribes vehicular access or paved parking within fifty (509 feet of a proposed guest house or servant's quarters. 4) The Municipal Code sets forth that in the RAS zone, no building shall exceed one story in height except a barn or stable, which may have a loft without glazed openings to be used exclusively and only for the storage of feed, tack and stable equipment. 2.

ZON. 330: Norman La Gaze This is an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a tennis court and a variance from the sideyard setback requirements, at 24 Portuguese Bend Road. The applicant has agreed to have the tennis court request be subject to the provisions of Ordinance No. 215. The application as submitted, complies with the provisions of Ordinance No. 215; and, is recommended, for consideration, to the Planning Commission. The applicant has requested an encroachment into the sideyard setback of 26 feet. The subject property is located in the RAS-2 zone. Properties in this zone have minimum sideyard setback requirements of 35 feet. Given the historical use and development pattern of the site and the topographical/gradient differential in relationship to the property to the north, as well as, the existence of significant mature trees and other flora; the proposed location of the tennis court is more desirable than that which would be by statute correct. Further, the proposed tennis court location would not require as much grading as one that would be located in conformance to the Zoning Ordinance. ION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the request for variance to encroach into the sideyard setback requirement a distance of 26 feet. It is recommended that the Plannihg Commission approve the application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a tennis court, at 24 Portuguese Bend Road, subject to the conditions set forth in Ordinance No. 215 and the Standard Conditions of Approval for Tennis Courts, dated March, 1980. 4. : Mehdi Hemm�t This is an application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a tennis court, at 64 Eastfield Drive.

The tennis court construction moratorium suspended the processing of applications and constuction drawings. The Lams have an approved CUP for a tennis court, which expires in August, 19B7.

There is only one month between the effective date of Ordinance No. 215 and the expiration of the CUP. Therefore, a request for extention was submitted, by the Lams. : It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve an extention to the CUP for a tennis court, as requested by Maurice Lam, 68 Saddleback Road.
