FINDINGS AND REPORT
The application of Mr. Samuel Speranza, Lot 170-A-7-MS,
Miscellaneous Tract, for a conditional use permit under Section
3.01 (D), Paragraph 3 (a) of Ordinance No. U-38 came on for hearing
on the 14th day of May, 1979 in the Council Chambers of the Adminis-
tration 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 Ordinances of the City of Rolling
Hills, California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicant, Mr. Samuel Speranza,
is the owner of that certain real property described as Lot 170A-7-MS,
located at 12 Johns Canyon 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 that
no comment, written or verbal, was received in opposition to the
request, and that Mrs. Shirley Gregory, 13 Johns Canyon Road, called
to say that she and Mr. Gregory had no objection to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicant has requested a con-
ditional use permit to permit completion of a guest house which was
started prior to the requirement for a conditional use permit f5x.
guest houses. The Commission finds that the slab for the guest
house was poured and framing was started but for a number of reasons
work was stopped and was not resumed before the permit expired, and
in the interim a moratorium was imposed on construction of guest
houses unless a conditional use permit was obtained. On a field
• •
trip to the site the Commission found that the property is separated
by topography and by a row of mature trees from adjacent properties
and construction of a guest house as shown on the plan submitted,
Marked Exhibit "A" would not present a hardship to any surrounding
property, and further, that Mrs. Dorothy Kuhne, owner of the only
property which would be visible from the guest house, expressed
her approval of the construction. The Commission finds that a
conditional use permit should be granted in order to preserve sub-
stantial rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity
and zone, and that the granting of such conditional use permit would
not be materailly 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. Samuel Speranza, Lot 170-A-7-MS,
12 Johns Canyon Road, for construction of a guest house, subject
to the following conditions:
1. No vehicular access or paved parking areas adjacent
to the guest house;
2. Any paved pedestrian access to the street from the
guest house is to be reviewed and approved by the
Planning Commission before installation;
3. Occupancy of the guest house shall be limited to
90 consecutive days (or such time as specified in
ordinances pertaining to guest houses).
and it is, therefore, so ordered.
This approval shall expire one year from the date of grant,
if not acted on.
