PUBLISHED: APRIL 25, 1992 REQUEST The applicants request a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed construction of a paddle tennis court under Section 17.16.012 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. BACKGROUND 1. On May 26, 1992, the Planning Commission viewed a staking of the proposed paddle tennis court at the subject property at the former site of a chicken coop area. 2. Grading for the project will amount to 72 cubic yards of cut and 72 cubic yards of fill. 3. On February 1, 1992, approvals were granted for a Variance to permit the encroachment of a recreation/exercise room addition 31 feet into the front yard setback, a Conditional Use Permit to construct an 800 sq.ft. guest house, a 1,023 sq.ft. garage, a 1,000 sq.ft. stable and Site Plan Review approval was also granted for additions to the residence totaling 1,769 sq.ft. 4. The proposed paddle tennis court is located on the northeast portion of the lot and is situated 118 feet from the residence. 5. The structural lot coverage proposed is 13,846 sq.ft. or 7.8 % and the total lot lot coverage is 26,646 sq.ft. or 15%. 6. The residential building pad coverage proposed is 11,146 sq.ft. or 20.3 % and overall building pad coverage is 22.3%. 7. After reviewing the Environmental Initial Study for the project, staff has determined that this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, a Negative Declaration has been prepared. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the Environmental documents, the proposed plan and take public testimony.

REQUEST The applicants request a conditional use permit for the proposed construction of a paddle tennis court under section 17.16.012 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. The following analysis is a description of the findings contained in the Environmental Information and Checklist Form which precedes this page. A detailed discussion of all potential environmental impacts checked "Yes" or "Maybe" is provided, along with appropriate mitigation measures. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The City of Rolling Hills is a residential community with single family dwelling on estate -size lots. The project site has an existing single family dwelling, guest house/garage and stable. The project site has an undulating topography representative of a rolling hillside classification. 22. Earth a-d. Although approval of the subject project will not result in unstable earth conditions or in changes in geologic substructures, it should be noted that portions of the City exhibit unstable earth conditions, including active landslides and soil creep. Because the City is located in seismically active Southern California, all development is exposed to potential ground shaking in the event of an earthquake. The Palos Verdes fault, considered potentially active, is located approximately one mile northeast of the City. During construction, the project may result in disruptions, displacements, compaction, or overcrowding of the soil. Any displacement and recompaction of the soil will be required to conform with local ordinances and engineering practices requiring balanced cut and fill and should not cause a significant environmental impact. e-g. During construction, there may be removal of natural vegetative cover for the construction of the paddle tennis court. At the completion of the project, there will be • s replacement of landscaping with native drought -resistant vegetation that is compatible with the surrounding vegetation of the community. Related erosion impacts will be less than significant. 24. Water b-c. The proposed construction may result in the alteration of existing drainage patterns. 27. Noise a. During construction, there may be increases of existing noise levels. 34. Transportation/Circulation a. During construction, there may be substantial additional vehicular movement. 39. Aesthetics The current proposal for the location of the paddle tennis court may appear visually offensive because of an adjacent existing horse trail. A previously proposed detached garage was relocated by the Planning Commission to preserve the aesthetic rural character of the trail. The current proposed paddle tennis court is in a similar location. HEARING DATE: TO: FROM: APPLICATION NO.

BACKGROUND 1. The City Council remanded the subject case back to the Planning Commission to address the two issues of: (1) The necessity to provide a title report for 3 Appaloosa Lane (the subject site) which shows that 3 Appaloosa Lane (Lot 106-D) has an easement for roadway purposes across property known as 2 Appaloosa Lane (the Raydon property) and across Lot D.R. 150 (the 9.198 acre parcel of property to the north of 3 Appaloosa Lane), and (2) approval by the Traffic Commission of the proposed accessway to the subject site. 2. At this point, sufficient information about the access easements has not been provided by Chicago Title Co. 3. Resolution No. 92-10 granting the Variance and Site Plan Review approval was approved by the Planning Commission on February 1, 1992. 4. The applicant requested a Variance to permit a 450 square foot stable and a 550 square foot corral in the front yard and Site Plan Review approval for a proposed new 4,500 square foot residence, an attached 600 square foot garage and a 450 square foot pool. 5. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
