A. Continued Public Hearing for introduction and first reading
of the following Ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 229: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
REQUIRING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DETACHED GARAGE OR
MIXED USE STRUCTURE AND AMENDING THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL
CODE.
City Manager Nealis reported this ordinance would require that
a conditional use permit be obtained for construction of any
detached garage or mixed use structure. Acting Principal Planner
Anne Palatino stated the ordinance, which has been continued from
the November 12, 1990 meeting, would allow the Planning Commission
to have more scrutiny over the kinds of detached uses on a
property, and to add any conditions as necessary.
No members of the audience wished to testify on the ordinance.
Councilwoman Swanson mentioned that a frequent problem has
been that a structure intended as a barn is used in the future
for other purposes. She asked if there would be a specific
prohibition of glazed windows in barns, and also whether corrals
would be required to be in the vicinity of the barns. Ms. Palatino
replied that the Planning Commission has been discussing
establishing a new minimum required size for stables and corrals,
and part of the proposed ordinance will require that corral areas
be adjacent to the stables. When passed, this will become part of
the municipal code.
Councilwoman Murdock said she believes that glazed windows are
prohibited only on the second floor of a two-story barn. Staff was
requested to look into this and report back to Council at the next
meeting.
Some typographical errors in Ordinance No. 229 were noted.
The second sentence of Paragraph K.2 should be amended to read:
There shall be no access from the interior of the portion used
for a garage to the interior of the portion used for the other
use.
Paragraph K.3 should be amended to read:
If a portion of the structure is intended to be used as a
stable or barn, such portion of the structure shall be used
exclusively for the purpose of keeping horses or other
permitted animals.
Councilwoman Murdock moved introduction and first reading of
Ordinance No. 229. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Swanson
and passed unanimously.
Councilwoman Swanson asked what the City's recourse would be
if someone who has been granted a conditional use permit and an
occupancy permit later modifies or changes the structure in
violation of the ordinance. Assistant City Attorney Ennis said his
office is aware of this concern and is working to find some means
of enforcement other than going to court.

ORDINANCE NO. 229: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS

CODE.
Councilwoman Leeuwenburgh suggested consideration of this
ordinance be held over until the full Council is present. There
was no one present who wished to testify on the matter. At the
direction of the City Council members present, the public hearing
was opened and continued to the November 26 meeting.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDINNG THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO

DISCUSSION
The City Council has directed the Planning Commission to proceed with the
public hearing on the matter of a proposed code amendment for mixed use
structures. Recently, this matter has been continued by the Commission
for lack of a full quorum. The Council has provided the following
suggestions for evaluation by the Commission:
1. Reevaluate the legal aspects of an "implied easement" as a separate
matter from mixed use structures. The Draft Ordinance previously
submitted to the Commission omits reference to an "implied easement".
2. Consider restrictions on the amount of accessory structure area that
can be developed on a lot. Suggested may be a form of "floor area:land
area" ratio for detached structures.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission proceed with the public
hearing on the matter and recommend the Draft Ordinance to the City
Council subject to development of standards to limit floor area of
detached structures.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENT FOR MIXED USE STRUCTURES
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission's Subcommittee on the matter of "Mixed Use
Structures" completed its study and presented their recommendations to the
Commission at their regular meeting of June 19, 1990. Subsequently, the
Commission reviewed a draft statement of conditions and regulations
(attached) prepared by staff for confirmation. Correspondingly, the
Commission recommended that all mixed use structures should fall under the
category of conditionally permitted uses, subject to discretionary review
of the Commission. In turn, the matter was presented to the City Council
for review.
The Council, at their regular meeting of July 9, 1990, reviewed the
statement of conditions and regulations. Their decision was to continue
the matter to allow time for each Councilmember to review and comment on
the statement. The Council did, however, indicate that their continuance
should not whatsoever delay any Commission discussion on a proposed
amendment to the Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission proceed with the public
hearing so as to discuss a proposed code amendment addressing "Mixed Use
Structures".

Dear Chairman Roberts and Members
of the Planning Commission:
At the June 19, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, the
Commission approved a policy for approval of "mixed use struc-
tures." For purposes of this letter, I will define a "mixed use
structure" as a structure containing areas designed for both
garage or storage use, and areas designed for stable or barn
use.
The Commission's policy was developed by a subcommittee
of the Commission starting from a report prepared by Terry
Belanger. Attached is a reordered list of the conditions adopted
by the Commission. I divided the conditions into two categories:
(1) those which the Commission intends to start imposing on
pending Site Plan Review applications, and (2) additional
conditions which will be imposed once the City's Zoning Ordinance
is amended to require persons desiring to construct a mixed use
structure to obtain a conditional use permit.
The Commission will have to decide at some point
whether it desires to treat "mixed use structures" as permitted
structures subject to the restrictions embodied in the attached
list or whether these structures should be conditionally per-
mitted and thus subject to those restrictions and discretionary
review by the Commission. The policy adopted by the Commission
implies that "mixed use structures" should be subject to a permit

Members of the Planning Commission

(presumably a conditional use permit). Part II (C) of the
attached list is based upon that interpretation of the
Commission's decision. The Commission does not have to give
final direction on which method to use (permitted use with
restrictions or conditionally permitted use subject to discre-
tionary review) at this time, although it may be helpful in
further defining your recommendation to the Council.
I suggest that the Commission carefully review the
attached list at your June 30, 1990 field trip meeting to
determine if it accurately reflects your intention and decision.
Please provide Ray Hamada with any corrections so that he can
incorporate those changes into a report of the Commission which
could be presented to the City Council at their meeting on July
16, 1990. The report should ask. the Council to give its comments
and suggested changes to the list of conditions so that the
Commission can begin to utilize those conditions for Site Plan
Review applications involving mixed use structures that may be on
the Commission's July 24, 1990 agenda.
The next action that you should consider taking at your
June 30, 1990 regular adjourned meeting is to set a public
hearing for your July 24, 1990 meeting to consider a draft
ordinance placing the second group of conditions for "mixed use
structures" into the Municipal Code. Until the Municipal Code is
amended, buildings proposed as "mixed use structures" which are
not subject to site plan review (do not involve either construc-
tion of a new separate structure, grading, or the addition of
more than 25% of the floor space of an existing structure) will
not come before the Commission unless they are part of a larger
application subject to Site Plan Review. Only an amendment to
the City's Zoning Ordinance will require all "mixed use
structures" to comply with these conditions or subject them to
both these conditions and discretionary review.
The public hearing before the Planning Commission is
required because amendments to the City's zoning and planning
laws may not be adopted by the City Council until the Planning
Commission holds a public hearing on the matter and the Planning
Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council.
(California Government Code Sections;65853 and 65854.) Our
Office will work with Ray to prepare a draft ordinance for
presentation at that July 24, 1990 public hearing (if you decide
to set the public hearing for that date).

The report that goes to the City Council on July 16,
1990 should also inform the Council whether or not the Commission
decided on June 30, 1990 to set a public hearing on July 24, 1990
to consider an amendment to the Municipal Code regarding "mixed
use structures."
In the intermediate time before an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance is enacted and becomes effective, the Planning
Commission can still impose its list of conditions on those
applications which are otherwise subject to its review. The City
will just be precluded from having clear authority to impose
those same conditions upon "mixed use structures" which are not
subject to Site Plan Review approval.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

the property owner.

8.32.010 Purpose. The General Plan of the City
recognizes the contribution of views to the overall character and
beauty of the City. Panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean,
Catalina Island, city lights and the Los Angeles Harbor are a
special quality of property ownership for many residential lots
in the City. These views are being diminished or eliminated by
maturing landscaping located on private property. The purpose of
this Chapter is to protect this important community asset by
establishing procedures for the protection and abatement of
landscaping view obstructions, while at the same time protecting
natural vegetation from indiscriminate removal.
• •
has been given notice of the impairment and a reasonable oppor-
tunity to abate it, and has either failed or refused to do so.
B. Upon receipt and acceptance as complete of an
application, the City Manager shall refer the matter to a media-
tor for conduct of a mediation session to abate the view impair-
ment. The mediator shall be responsible for notifying the owner
of the vegetation of the application and for scheduling and
managing the mediation process. If agreement is reached through
mediation, it shall be implemented in accordance with
Section 8.32.060 herein.
C. In the event that mediation fails to achieve
agreement, the matter shall be returned to the City Manager, who
shall schedule it for a public hearing before the Committee by
giving fifteen (15) days notice of the hearing by certified mail,
return receipt requested, to the owner of the tree or other
obstructing vegetation, to the complainant, to all property
owners within one -thousand (1,000) feet of the exterior boun-
daries of the property on which the tree is located, and to
other persons who in the Committee's judgment might be affected.
The notice shall state the name of the complaining party, the
name of the owner and the location of the tree or other vegeta-
tion, and the time and place of hearing, and shall invite written
comments to be submitted at or before the hearing. The hearing
shall not proceed in the absence of proof that the owner of the
tree or other vegetation received notice as provided herein.
8.32.050 Abatement of View Impairment: Findings and
Decision.
A. If a matter is scheduled before it, the Committee
shall conduct a public hearing and consider all written and oral
testimony and evidence presented in connection with the applica-
tion. In the event the Committee requires expert advice in
consideration of the matter, the cost of obtaining such advice
and assistance shall be borne by the complainant pursuant to a
written agreement.
B. Based on the evidence received and considered, the
Committee may find any of the following:
this Chapter;
(1) That no view exists within the meaning of
(2) That a view exists within the meaning of this
Chapter, but that the view is not significantly impaired; or
(3) That a view exists within the meaning of this
Chapter and that it is significantly impaired.

D. The implementation method provided for in this
section may be modified by the parties or in any final decision
if grounds exist to justify such a modification. In particular,
the Committee may allocate the cost of restorative action as
follows:
(a) If the Committee finds that the tree or other
vegetation constitutes a safety hazard to the complainant or his
property, and is being maintained by the owner in disregard of
the safety of others, the owner may be required to pay one -
hundred percent (100%) of the cost of correction; or
(b) If the owner is maintaining a hedge fifteen
(15') feet or more in height, the Committee may allocate the cost
of correction, provided that the owner of the land on which the
hedge exists shall not be required to pay more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the cost of such correction.
8.32.070 Enforcement. Failure or refusal of any person
to comply with a final decision under this Chapter or to comply
with any provision of this Chapter shall constitute a misdemeanor
and shall be punishable by a fine of $1,000 or six months in
County Jail, or both. Failure or refusal of any person to comply
with a final decision under this Chapter shall further constitute
a public nuisance which may be abated in accordance with the
procedure contained in Chapter 8.24 of this Title.
A final decision rendered under this Chapter may be
enforced civilly by way of action for injunctive or other
appropriate relief, in which event the prevailing party may be
awarded attorney's fees and costs as determined by the court.
Nothing in this Chapter shall preclude the prosecution
of any civil cause of action under the law by any person with
respect to the matters covered herein.
8.32.080 Notice. The owner on whose property the
offending vegetation exists shall notify all successor owners of
the final decision in any proceeding under this Chapter and such
decision shall be binding upon all such successors in interest.
Within thirty (30) days of the final decision an informational
covenant shall be recorded against the title of the property on a
form provided by the City.
80.32.090 Desirable and Undesirable Trees. The
Committee is authorized and directed to prepare lists of types of
desirable trees and undesirable trees for planting within the
City, based upon their size and shape, rate or growth, depth of
roots, fall rate of leaves or bark or fruit or branches, and
other factors related to safety, maintenance and appearance. The
purpose of the foregoing provision is to make available to
property owners information, the use of which may avoid the

Dear Chairman Roberts and Members
of the Planning Commission:
At the June 19, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, the
Commission approved a policy for approval of "mixed use struc-
tures." For purposes of this letter, I will define a "mixed use
structure" as a structure containing areas designed for both
garage or storage use, and areas designed for stable or barn
use.
The Commission's policy was developed by a subcommittee
of the Commission starting from a report prepared by Terry
Belanger. Attached is a reordered list of the conditions adopted
by the Commission. I divided the conditions into two categories:
(1) those which the Commission intends to start imposing on
pending Site Plan Review applications, and (2) additional
conditions which will be imposed once the City's Zoning Ordinance
is amended to require persons desiring to construct a mixed use
structure to obtain a conditional use permit.
The Commission will have to decide at some point
whether it desires to treat "mixed use structures" as permitted
structures subject to the restrictions embodied in the attached
list or whether these structures should be conditionally per-
mitted and thus subject to those restrictions and discretionary
review by the Commission. The policy adopted by the Commission
implies that "mixed use structures" should be subject to a permit

Chairman Roberts and
Members of the Planning Commission

(presumably a conditional use permit). Part II (C) of the
attached list is based upon that interpretation of the
Commission's decision. The Commission does not have to give
final direction on which method to use (permitted use with
restrictions or conditionally permitted use subject to discre-
tionary review) at this time, although it may be helpful in
further defining your recommendation to the Council.
I suggest that the Commission carefully review the
attached list at your June 30, 1990 field trip meeting to
determine if it accurately reflects your intention and decision.
Please provide Ray Hamada with any corrections so that he can
incorporate those changes into a report of the Commission which
could be presented to the City Council at their meeting on July
16, 1990. The report should ask the Council to give its comments
and suggested changes to the list of conditions so that the
Commission can begin to utilize those conditions for Site Plan
Review applications involving mixed use structures that may be on
the Commission's July 24, 1990 agenda.
The next action that you should consider taking at your
June 30, 1990 regular adjourned meeting is to set a public
hearing for your July 24, 1990 meeting to consider a draft
ordinance placing the second group of conditions for "mixed use
structures" into the Municipal Code. Until the Municipal Code is
amended, buildings proposed as "mixed use structures" which are
not subject to site plan review (do not involve either construc-
tion of a new separate structure, grading, or the addition of
more than 25% of the floor space of an existing structure) will
not come before the Commission unless they are part of a larger
application subject to Site Plan Review. Only an amendment to
the City's Zoning Ordinance will require all "mixed use
structures" to comply with these conditions or subject them to
both these conditions and discretionary review.
The public hearing before the Planning Commission is
required because amendments to the City's zoning and planning
laws may not be adopted by the City Council until the Planning
Commission holds a public hearing on the matter and the Planning
Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council.
(California Government Code Sections 65853 and 65854.) Our
Office will work with Ray to prepare a draft ordinance for
presentation at that July 24, 1990 public hearing (if you decide
to set the public hearing for that date).

garage or storage use, and areas designed for stable or barn
use.
The Commission's policy was developed by a subcommittee
of the Commission starting from a report prepared by Terry
Belanger. Attached is a reordered list of the conditions adopted
by the Commission. I divided the conditions into two categories:
(1) those which the Commission intends to start imposing on.
pending Site Plan Review applications, and (2) additional
conditions which will be imposed once the City's Zoning Ordinance
is amended to require persons desiring to construct a mixed use
structure to obtain a conditional use permit.
The Commission will have to decide at some point
whether it desires to treat "mixed use structures" as permitted
structures subject to the restrictions embodied in the attached
list or whether these structures should be conditionally per-
mitted and thus subject to those restrictions and discretionary
review by the Commission. The policy adopted by the Commission
implies that "mixed use structures" should be subject to a permit

(presumably a conditional use permit). Part II (C) of the
attached list is based upon that interpretation of the
Commission's decision. The Commission does not have to give
final direction on which method to use (permitted use with
restrictions or conditionally permitted use subject to discre-
tionary review) at this time, although it may be helpful in
further defining your recommendation to the Council.
I suggest that the Commission carefully review the
attached list at your June 30, 1990 field trip meeting to
determine if it accurately reflects your intention and decision.
Please provide Ray Hamada with any corrections so that he can
incorporate those changes into a report of the Commission which
could be presented to the City Council at their meeting on July
16, 1990. The report should ask the Council to give its comments
and suggested changes to the list of conditions so that the
Commission can begin to utilize those conditions for Site Plan
Review applications involving mixed use structures that may on
the Commission's July 24, 1990 agenda.
The next action that you should consider taking at your
June 30, 1990 regular adjourned meeting is to set a public
hearing for your July 24, 1990 meeting to consider a draft
ordinance placing the second group of conditions for "mixed use
structures" into the Municipal Code. Until the Municipal Code is
amended, buildings proposed as "mixed use structures" which are
not subject to site plan review (do not involve either construc-
tion of a new separate structure, grading, or the addition of
more than 25% of the floor space of an existing structure) will
not come before the Commission unless they are part of a larger
application subject to Site Plan Review. Only an amendment to
the City's Zoning Ordinance will require all "mixed use
structures" to comply with these conditions or subject them to
both these conditions and discretionary review.
The public hearing before the Planning Commission is
required because amendments to the City's zoning and planning
laws may not be adopted by the City Council until the Planning
Commission holds a public hearing on the matter and the Planning
Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council.
(California Government Code Sections 65853 and 65854.) Our
Office will work with Ray to prepare a draft ordinance for
presentation at that July 24, 1990 public hearing (if you decide
to set the public hearing for that date).

The report that goes to the City Council on July 16,
1990 should also inform the Council whether or not the Commission
decided on June 30, 1990 to set a public hearing on July 24, 1990
to consider an amendment to the Municipal Code regarding "mixed
use structures."
In the intermediate time before an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance is enacted and becomes effective, the Planning
Commission can still impose its list of conditions on those

At the June 19, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, the
Commission approved a policy for approval of "mixed use struc-
tures." For purposes of this letter, I will define a "mixed use
structure" as a structure containing areas designed for both
garage or storage use, and areas designed for stable or barn
use.
The Commission's policy was developed by a subcommittee
of the Commission starting from a report prepared by Terry
Belanger. Attached is a reordered list of the conditions adopted

(permitted), which incorporate stable/barn and garage uses into a
single structure, are provided as those that are suggested for
inclusion in a conditional approval:
1. This Site Plan Review Permit shall not be effective for any

duly authorized representative, has filed with the City
Clerk of the City of Rolling Hills an affidavit stating that
he is aware of and agrees to comply with all the conditions
of the Permit.

shall be void and the privileges granted thereunder shall
lapse, if any provision of the Permit is held or declared to
be invalid.

6. Vehicular Access:
A. Vehicular access to the mixed -use structure, where the
garage use is a principal use, cannot be within an easement,
except where such principal garage access has already been
established to the mixed -use structure. The number of
vehicle may be limited, by condition.
B. Vehicular access to the mixed -use structure, where the
garage use is accessory to the stable/barn use, can be
accessed by an easement on an occasional use basis (2 or 3
trips per week). The easement shall not be graded or
otherwise improved, without the express written consent of
the Rolling Hills Community Association.
C. Where an easement does not exist, a twenty-five (25) foot
easement shall be implied.
7. Where the mixed -uses are both to be principal uses, each
within the same structure, the two uses shall be constructed
as separate buildings, albeit attached. The interior common
wall shall be constructed in the same manner as found in
attached townhouse construction. There shall be no access
from the interior of one structure into the interior of the
other structure.
8. The stable/barn structure shall be used exclusively for
purpose of keeping horses or other permitted animals. There
shall be no sleeping quarters, temporary occupancy, or
kitchen/cooking facilities or equipment. Under no
circumstance shall a request for conversion of either or
both of the mixed -uses to any other use be considered for
approval.
