RESOLUTION NO. 2004-09
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
CONVERT AN EXISTING STABLE INTO A MIXED USE STRUCTURE
AND GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH WITH THE
EXISTING STRUCTURE INTO THE FRONT SETBACK AT AN EXISTING
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 677, AT 23
PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD, (LOT 88-1-RH) RIZI.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Rizi with
respect to real property located at 23 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot
88-1-RH) requesting a Conditional Use Permit to convert an existing 1,210 square
foot stable into a mixed use structure, to be utilized as a stable and office, which
will also include a bathroom, tack room, storage room, a loft and a 4-6 feet high
storage area below the bathroom and tack room. The existing stable already
encroaches into the front setback, and due to its change of use requires a
Variance to remain in the setback. The conversion commenced prior to the
applicant applying to the City for the CUP and Variance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the applications on November 18, December 16, 2003,
January 20, 2004, February 17, 2004 and at a field trip visit on December 13, 2003.
The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail
and were in attendance. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons
interested in affecting said proposal, and from members of the City staff and the
Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal.
Section 3. In November 2001, the Planning Commission approved the
construction of a new 5,200 square foot residence to replace an existing residence,
with 600 square foot garage, and a 480 square foot indoor pool. The existing
house measuring 3,348 square feet with a 625 square foot garage will be
demolished. The applicants have demolished part of the structure and are in
their final stages of County review process to obtain grading permits for the new
residence.
Section 4. The existing 1,210 square foot stable with access is located
in the front setback. Records show that a building permit was issued in 1950 for
a new two story stable. Neither the City nor the Rolling Hills Community
Association (RHCA) has the original elevation or floor plans for the stable. Prior
to 1969 there were no provisions in the Zoning Code relating to number of
stories for stables. In June of 1969, the Zoning Code was amended to allow lofts
above stables, without glazed openings. The RHCA at the same time amended
their code, adding a requirement that lofts above a stable may be permitted
without glazed openings and requiring that the hayloft plate heights not exceed
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-09
1
•
11
04 1060529
7'6", whereas the stable could be 8'6" high. According to the applicant, there
were windows in the loft area of the original stable.
Section 7. Pursuant to Section 17.16.080 Height Limitation, of the
Zoning Ordinance "a building shall have no more than one story, meaning no
interior habitable space shall exist over other habitable space. For the purpose of
this section, interior habitable space includes lofts, mezzanines and storage
areas." Paragraph 2 of this Section states that barns or stables may have a loft
without glazed openings (windows) and that the loft be limited in use to storage
of feed, tack and stable equipment. Section 17.12.080 defines Habitable Space,
Interior, as " an area within a building, fully enclosed by walls, windows, doors,
a roof or ceiling, and floors, which provides living, eating and/or sleeping
quarters. Interior habitable space includes lofts, mezzanines and storage areas".
Further, Section 17.16.210A6e, Mixed Use Structures, states that if a mixed use
structure includes a stable, a loft area may be constructed only over a stable
portion of the mixed use structure.
Section 8. The "as built" (converted) floor plan and elevation plan for
the stable/office shows a 4 foot to 6 foot high storage area, (not a full story),
below that portion of the loft which was converted to a bathroom and tack room.
The applicants have also constructed stairs leading from the upper level to the
proposed office. The Municipal Code does not set a•minimum height to meet the
definition of a story or habitable space, therefore, during the proceedings the
Planning Commission determined that the 4 foot to 6 foot storage area below the
bathroom and tack room does not constitutes a "story", and could remain.
Section 9. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as
a Class 4 Exemption (State of CA Guidelines, Section 15304 - Minor Land
Alteration) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review
under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 10. Section 17.16.210(A)(6) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a mixed use structure under certain conditions, provided the
Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is
requesting to convert the existing 1,210 square foot stable to a mixed use
structure, which would consist of stable, office, bathroom, storage room, tack
room, loft and 4-6 feet storage area below the bathroom and tack room. With
respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the conversion of a
stable would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan because the use is consistent with similar uses in the
community and is a permitted use with a CUP. The area proposed for the
conversion already exists and such use will not change the existing configuration
and number of structures on the lot.
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures have been considered, and the conversion of the stable to a mixed
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-09
2
• • 01:0.6O529 5
use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed use will be nestled behind existing
trees and is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the structure
will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the
natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the structure, which houses
the stable/office and related uses will comply with the low profile residential
development pattern of the community and the structure already exists.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zone district, except for the encroachment, as
approved by this Resolution, because it is a permitted use under the Municipal
Code.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the
Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and
siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on
the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title
17 of the Zoning Code because a stable and corral will remain with the
conversion.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the
record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for
the conversion of the stable to a mixed use structure, subject to the conditions
contained in Section 14 of this Resolution.
Section 12. Section 17.16.110 requires that the front yard setback be fifty
(50) feet from the roadway easement line. The applicants request a Variance to
continue the encroachment into the front yard setback with the converted
structure. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply
generally to the other'property or class of use in the same zone because the lot is
irregular in shape, and is already developed with a structure in this location. The
location of the mixed use structure is desired so as to preserve nearly all of the
existing open space between the stable/office and the main house.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and
zone, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance will permit
the development of the property in a manner similar to development patterns on
surrounding properties. The location of the building pad and the development
pattern of the remaining structures on site, especially the driveway dictate that
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-09
3
04 1060529 10
the mixed use structure be located in the front and does not replace the existing
structure.
C. The granting of the Variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity
and zone in which the property is located because the proposed conversion of
the existing stable will not be visible to neighbors and will permit the owners to
enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of
surrounding property owners.
Section 13. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the
record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Variance for Zoning Case
No. 677 to permit the mixed use structure to remain in the front setback, subject
to the conditions specified in Section 14 of this Resolution.
Section 14 The Conditional Use Permit approval regarding the
conversion of a stable into a mixed use structure approved in Section 11 of this
Resolution, and the Variance regarding the location of the mixed use structure
approved in Section 13 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions:
A. The Variance, and Conditional Use Permit approvals shall expire
within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections
17.38.070(A) and 17.42.070(A of the Zoning Ordinance unless otherwise extended
pursuant to the requirements of those sections.
B. If any conditions of approval are violated, this approval shall be
suspended and the privileges granted hereunder shall lapse; provided that the
applicants have been given written notice to cease such violation, the
opportunity for a hearing has been provided, and if requested, has been held,
and thereafter the applicant fails to correct the violation within a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of the City's determination.
C. All requirements of the Building Code, the Zoning Ordinance, and
of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with,
unless otherwise set forth in this approval.
D. The conversion shall be developed and maintained in substantial
conformance with the elevation and floor plan, dated February 12, 2004, except
as otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. There shall be no grading for this project and no expansion of the
existing foot print of the structure is allowed.
F. All conditions of Section 17.210(A)(6) for mixed use structure shall
be complied with at all times as follows:
a. Vehicular access to the garage or mixed use structure shall not
occur within an easement or within twenty-five feet of the side or rear lot line.

b. If a portion of the structure is designed or intended to be used
for a garage, that portion shall be separated by an interior common wall from the
portion of the structure used as a stable, barn, office, study, recreational use or
other use. The interior common wall shall be constructed in the same manner as
found in attached townhouse construction. No access from the interior of the
portion used for a garage to the interior of the portion used for the other use shall
be permitted.
c. If a portion of the structure is intended to be used as a stable or

mixed use structure.
e. A loft area may be constructed only over a stable area of the
structure, pursuant to this title and the Building Code.
f. Where the garage, stable or any other use that is specified on the
approved plan is converted to another use, or if the proportions of any approved
use is changed without required approvals, the permit granting the mixed use
structure may be revoked, pursuant to Chapter 17.58, and the structure shall be
removed at the cost of the property owner.
g. If any conditions of the permit are violated, or if any law, statute
or ordinance is violated, the permit may be revoked and the privileges granted
by the permit shall lapse, provided that the property owner has been given
written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period of thirty
days, and further provided that the owner has been given an opportunity for a
hearing.
G. Landscaping shall include water efficient irrigation, to the maximum
extent feasible, that incorporates a low gallonage irrigation system, utilizes
automatic controllers, incorporates an irrigation design using "hydrozones,"
considers slope factors and climate conditions in design, and utilizes means to
reduce water waste resulting from runoff and overspray in accordance with
Section 17.27.020 (Water Efficient Landscaping Requirements) of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO
PERMIT GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE TO REPLACE AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
AT 23 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD IN ZONING CASE NO. 639.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An Application was duly filed by Dr. Rizzi with respect to real
property located at 23 Portuguese Bend Road, (Lot 88-1-RH), Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a Site Plan Review to permit grading and construction of a new single family
residence to replace an existing residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on September 18, 2001, October 16, 2001, and at a field trip
visit on October 8, 2001. The applicant was notified of the public hearings in writing by
first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in
affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning
Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicant was
in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a CIass
3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for
site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or any
building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or
repair to existing buildings may be made which involve changes to grading or an
increase to the size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the
effect of increasing the size of the building by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in
any thirty-six (36) month period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application
requesting construction of the new house, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the
Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structures comply with
the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with
sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to Zoning
Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The net lot area of the lot is 105,280 square
feet. The proposed residence (5,200 sq.ft.), garage (600 sq.ft.), indoor swimming pool
(480 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 6,376 square feet of structures. The lot is
also developed with an existing barn (1,210 sq.ft.) and an existing water tank (880 sq.ft.),
for a total of 8,466 square feet of structures, which constitutes 8.0% of the net lot which
is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. No basement is
4 -A,
proposed for this development The total lot coverage including paved areas and
driveway will be 22,281 square feet, which equals 21.2% of the lot which is within the
35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is screened from
the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The disturbed area of the
lot will be 39.5%, which is within the 40% maximum permitted.
B. The development. plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structure will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will
be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the property. The structures
proposed will not be visible from Portuguese Bend Road. The nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot
have been considered, and the construction of the new house with indoor swimming
pool will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed structure will be constructed on a portion
of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and
landscaped with trees and shrubs which at maturity will not exceed 25 feet in height, is
a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structure will not
impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, will permit the owners to enjoy
their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property
owners.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in
Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum set forth in the Zoning Code will not be
exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves dense brush and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the south of this lot. Grading
for this project will involve 1,140 cubic yards of cut and 1,140 cubic yards of fill and will
be balanced on site.
F. The development plan preserves surrounding native vegetation and
mature trees and supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping which
is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping
provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed
project will utilize the existing driveway approach at the northern portion of the
property off Tally Hand Road for access. The existing driveway will be relocated
approximately ten feet to the east of its current location and will be restored to its
natural condition and will be landscaped. A portion of the existing driveway leading to
the stable will also be removed and the area landscaped.
