COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of the Application
of
Mr. & Mrs. Alan Johnson
Lot 3-FT
FINDINGS AND REPORT
ZONING CASE NO. 341
The application of Mr. & Mrs. Alan Johnson, Lot 3-FT, Rolling
Hills Tract, for a Conditional Use Permit under Section 17.32.012
of the City of Rolling Hills Municipal Code, came for hearing on the
21st day of April, 1987 in the Council Chambers of the Administration
Building, #2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, California. The
Planning Commission, after being appropriately advised by staff
and hearing public testimony, now makes its Findings and Report as
required by the Municipal Code of the City of Rolling Hills,
California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicants, Mr. & Mrs. Alan
Johnson, are the owners of that certain real property described as
Lot 3-FT, located at #7 Crest Road East in the City of Rolling
Hills, and that notice of the public hearing in connection with said
application was given as required by Section 17.32.080 of the
Municipal Code of the City of Rolling Hills, California. The
Commission finds, further, that no comment, written or verbal, was
received in opposition to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicants have requested a
Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 17.16.012 (G), (guest
houses). The Commission finds that the construction of a guest
house is conditionally permitted and compatible with
existing codes, statutes, and ordinances. However, the Commission
finds the final square footage of the proposed buildings and
architectural style are subjectto final approval by the Rolling
Hills Community Association Architectural Committee. The Commission
finds that the construction of a guest house, per site plan,
(exhibit A), is prima facie compatible with topographical, geological
and environmental conditions inherent on the subject lot. Further,
however, the Commission finds that upon more extensive investigation
and evaluation that if the topographical, geological and environ-
mental conditions are found to not be compatible with the construction
of a guest house, that the Conditional Use Permit be rescinded.
The Commission finds that the granting of such Conditional Use
Permit would not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety and 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. & Mrs. Alan Johnson, Lot 3-FT,
#7 Crest Road East under Section 17.32.040 of the City of Rolling
Hills Municipal Code for a guest house per Section 17.16.012 (G).

has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days.
