COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of the Application
of
Dr. Stanley Wishner
Lot 105-1-RH
FINDINGS AND REPORT
ZONING CASE NO. 231
The application of Dr. Stanley Wishner, Lot 105-1-RH,
Rolling Hills Tract, for a variance of Front Yard Requirements
under Article III, Section 3.05, Ordinance No. 33 for conversion
of an existing stable to a playroom came on for hearing on the
5th day if June, 1979 in the Council Chambers of the Administration
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 the Ordinances of the City of Rolling Hills,
California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicant, Dr. Stanley Wishner,
is the owner of that certain real property described as Lot 105-1-RH,
located at 31 Portuguese Bend 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. The Commission finds that no communica-
tion, written or verbal, was received in favor of or in opposition
to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicant requested a variance
of front yard requirements to permit an existing stable located in
the front yard, which was constructed prior to adoption of the zoning
ordinance, to be converted to a playroom. Subsequently the applicant
stated that the plan submitted shows a stable as required by the City's
ordinance, and the existing building is used for storage, not for
housing animals. The Commission finds that a variance should not be
granted in order to preserve substantial property rights in the same
vicinity and zone, and that the granting of such variance would be
materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to property
in the same vicinity and zone.

III.
From the foregoing it is concluded that a variance should
not be granted to Dr. Stanley Wishner, Lot 105-1-RH for an existing
building in the front yard, with a finding that the building in the
present location is undesireable, and it is, therefore, so ordered.

NOTE: The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed to the
City Council by Dr. Wishner. On June 25, 1979 the Council
voted to overrule the decision of the Planning Commission,
and grant a front yard variance on condition that the building
not be used to house animals.
