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. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within two years from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.42.070, unless otherwise extended pursuant
to the requirements of this section.
B. If any condition of this resolution is violated, the entitlement granted by this
resolution shall be suspended and the privileges granted hereunder shall lapse and upon receipt
of written notice from the City, all construction work being performed on the subject property
shall immediately cease, other than work determined by the City Manager or his/her designee
required to cure the violation. The suspension and stop work order will be lifted once the
Applicant cures the violation to the satisfaction of the City Manager or his/her designee. In the
event that the Applicant disputes the City Manager or his/her designee's determination that a
violation exists or disputes how the violation must be cured, the Applicant may request a
hearing before the City Council. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular meeting of
the City Council for which the agenda has not yet been posted; the
