Section 5 (A) of the Resolution requires that the project construction commences within two years from the effective date of the resolution, (30 days following adoption of a Resolution or by September 15, 2019). Pursuant to Section 17.42.070 of the Zoning Ordinance, approvals are valid for the time period specified by the Planning Commission, but not to exceed two years from the effective date of a resolution of approval. The Planning Commission may extend the approval for up to maximum two years. The applicant states that the extension is necessary due to unanticipated requirements from the Building and Safety Department. The applicant had a similar project approved in 1997 and submitted the soils reports and plans from the previous approval. The Building Department requires updated reports and plans. -1- 1/5 • 1 • RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission consider the request and adopt Resolution No. 2019-15 granting a two-year extension to commence construction of this project.

APPLICANT: MICHAEL DUNLAP REPRESENTATIVE: MICHAEL DUNLAP PUBLISHED: JULY 7, 2017 REQUEST AND PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report or provide other direction to staff. Request The applicant is requesting the following: Conditional Use Permit A Conditional Use Permit is requested for the construction of a 779 square foot stable which includes a 187 square foot loft and 592 square foot footprint, 176 square feet of attached covered porches, and a 3,290 square foot corral. ZC NO. 926 6 Meadowlark Lane 1 • • Planning Commission Review and Neighbor Communication The Planning Commission first viewed the project in the field, opened the hearing to enable brief public testimony and continued the meeting to the evening meeting of the Planning Commission on July 18, 2017 and directed staff to prepare a resolution of approval. At its regular evening meeting held on August 15, 2017, the Planning Commission approved the resolution for the project. No residents expressed any concern related to the project PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The Project The applicant is proposing construction of a new stable and corral. Demolition No demolition will be necessary for the project. Zoning, Land Size and Existing Conditions The property is zoned RAS-1. The net lot area of the property is 63,163 square feet or 1.45 acres. Existing improvements on the property include a residence, swimming pool, and guesthouse. The residence was originally constructed in 1951 and major addition and renovations were made in 1997. When the improvements were made in 1997, the pad for the stable was graded but no stable was constructed. The proposed design of the stable is the same as was approved in 1997. In 2012 the pool and other outdoor amenities were reconstructed. MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE Grading A pad for the stable and corral was previously approved and graded under a different permit. Therefore, no grading is needed for the proposed stable construction. Disturbance The existing disturbance on the property is 45%. Because this was previously approved and the construction of the stable and corral falls within all earlier disturbed areas, no variance is needed for the proposed project. Height The highest finished roof height of the proposed stable will be 18 feet tall. Covered Porches The stable will have 176 square feet of covered porches. The total square footage covered by the stable and the covered porches is 955 square feet. Stable Access The existing access road to the proposed stable pad is located on the southeasterly side of the property and is constructed of concrete with a roughened surface. ZC No. 926 6 Meadowlark Lane • • Drainage Drainage will be reviewed by Building and Safety and must conform to the standards required by the County for a building permit. Lot Coverage The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 6,720 square feet or 10.6% (20% max. permitted). The total lot coverage proposed (structural and flatwork) will be 13,219 square feet or 20.6% (35% max. permitted). The stable building pad (previously graded at 4,245 square feet) has a proposed pad coverage of 779 square feet or 18.4%, with deductions. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TABLES A Conditional Use Permit is required for the stable and corral. Stable Requirements The proposed stable will be two stories and contain 779 square feet with a 187 square foot loft and 176 square feet of covered porches.

ZC No. 926 6 Meadowlark Lane G-) 41/1 RESOLUTION NO.2017-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITION USE PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 779 SQUARE .FOOT STABLE, AND 3,290 SQUARE FOOT CORRAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 926 AT 6 MEADOWLARK LANE, LOT 20-RH, (DUNLAP). THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Michael Dunlap with respect to real property located at 6 Meadowlark Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 20-RH) requesting a Condition Use Permit for the construction of a 779 square foot stable, including a loft, and a 3,290 square foot corral. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings held on July 18, 2017, in the field, and continued the meeting to the evening meeting, at which they directed staff to prepare a resolution of approval. The resolution of approval was reviewed an approved at the regular evening Planning Commission meeting on August 15, 2017. Neighbors within 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in the Peninsula News on July 7, 2017. The applicants and their agents were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail and the applicants and agents were in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented from all person interested in affecting said proposal, and from members of the City staff. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA) pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 of the CEQA guidelines. Section 4. Conditional Use Permit. Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a stable over 200 square feet and corral over 550 square feet with a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed 779 square foot stable and 3,290 square foot corral comply with all requirements of these sections. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. The Planning Commission must consider applications for a Conditional Use Permit and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional use which will not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be materially detrimental to the property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use. B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the stable and corral 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 meets all the applicable code development standards for such uses, and they are located in the areas on the property that are adequately sized to accommodate such uses. The proposed uses are appropriately located in that they will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used for habitation or Resolution No. 2017-14 6 Meadowlark Lane -1- \J • containing sleeping quarters. The stable/corral will be constructed in furtherance of the General Plan goal of promoting and encouraging equestrian uses. C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed stable/corral use is located mostly in the middle of a 1.71 acre lot and the general location is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. The proposed stable is to be located adjacent to the corral and access roughened for equestrian uses that runs from the stable to the road is separate from the other outdoor living areas on the property. D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the proposed uses comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property an over -built look, and areas will remain open and unobstructed. The lot is 1.45 acres net in size and is sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed uses. The stable will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because Rolling Hills is an equestrian community and stables are encouraged. The stable will look like a stable and with the corral will promote open space on the pad. E. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district and requires Conditional Use Permits pursuant to Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the Zoning Ordinance. F. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 926 request for a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 779 square foot stable, consisting of a 187 square foot loft and 592 square foot first level and a 3,290 square foot corral, subject to the following conditions: A.

If the Planning Commission determines that a violation has not occurred or has been cured by the time of the hearing, the Planning Commission will lift the suspension and the stop work order. If the Planning Commission determines that a violation has occurred and has not yet been cured, the Planning Commission shall provide the Applicant with a deadline to cure the violation; no construction work shall be performed on the property until and unless the violation is cured by the deadline, other than work designated by the Planning Commission to accomplish the cure If the violation is not cured by the deadline, the Planning Commission may either extend the deadline at the Applicant's request or schedule a hearing for the revocation of the entitlements granted by this Resolution pursuant to Chapter 17.58 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC).

No. 926 6 Meadowlark Lane • RESOLUTION NO. 2017-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITION USE PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 779 SQUARE FOOT STABLE, AND 3,290 SQUARE FOOT CORRAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 926 AT 6 MEADOWLARK LANE, LOT 20-RH, (DUNLAP). THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Michael Dunlap with respect to real property located at 6 Meadowlark Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 20-RH) requesting a Condition Use Permit for the construction of a 779 square foot stable, including a loft, and a 3,290 square foot corral. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings held on July 18, 2017, in the field, and continued the meeting to the evening meeting, at which they directed staff to prepare a resolution of approval. The resolution of approval was reviewed an approved at the regular evening Planning Commission meeting on August 15, 2017. Neighbors within 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in the Peninsula News on July 7, 2017. The applicants and their agents were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail and the applicants and agents were in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented from all person interested in affecting said proposal, and from members of the City staff. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA) pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 of the CEQA guidelines. Section 4. Conditional Use Permit. Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permit approval of a stable over 200 square feet and corral over 550 square feet with a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed 779 square, foot stable and 3,290 square foot corral comply with all requirements of these sections. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. The Planning Commission must consider applications for a Conditional Use Permit and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional use which will not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be materially detrimental to the property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use. B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the stable and corral 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 meets all the applicable code development standards for such uses, and they are located in the areas on the property that are adequately sized to accommodate such uses. The proposed uses are appropriately located in that they will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used for habitation or Resolution No. 2017-14 6 Meadowlark Lane -1- • containing sleeping quarters. The stable/corral will be constructed in furtherance of the General Plan goal of promoting and encouraging equestrian uses. C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been considered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed stable/corral use is located mostly in the middle of a 1.71 acre lot and the general location is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. The proposed stable is to be located adjacent to the corral and access roughened for equestrian uses that runs from the stable to the road is separate from the other outdoor living areas on the property. D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site; the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the proposed uses comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property an over -built look, and areas will remain open and unobstructed. The lot is 1.45 acres net in size and is sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed uses. The stable will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because Rolling Hills is an equestrian community and stables are encouraged. The stable will look like a stable and with the corral will promote open space on the pad. E. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district and requires Conditional Use Permits pursuant to Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the Zoning Ordinance. F. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 926 request for a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 779 square foot stable, consisting of a 187 square foot loft and 592 square foot first level and a 3,290 square foot corral, subject to the following conditions: A.
