RESOLUTION NO. 2004-20
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT TO CONVERT AN EXISTING STABLE INTO A CABANA AT AN
EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 691 AT 2
CINCHRING ROAD, (LOT 5-H) (VIRJEE).
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 Mr. and Mrs. Framroze Virjee with
respect to real property located at 2 Cinchring Road, Rolling Hills, CA requesting a
Conditional Use Permit to convert an existing 720 square foot stable into a cabana.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on June 16, 2004, July 20, 2004 and at a field trip visit on July
13, 2004. The applicants were 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 applicants' representative was in
attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The property is developed with a 3,251 square foot residence, 490
square foot garage, 720 square foot stable, and 295 square foot service yard. An 850
square foot swimming pool/spa was administratively approved and is currently under
construction. The property is irregular in shape and it abuts three streets.
Section 4. In July 2002, the Planning Commission approved a lot line adjustment
between the subject property and 4 Cinchring Road, whereas 10,123 square feet of land
was transferred from 4 Cinchring Road to this property.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class
3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 6. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits
approval of a cabana under certain conditions, provided the Planning Commission
approves a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is requesting to convert an existing
stable to a 720 square foot cabana. 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 to
cabana would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance
and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because
the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the
cabana is already developed with a stable, and is located in an area on the property
where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot.
•
•
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and
structures have been considered, and the construction of a cabana will not adversely
affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures
because the proposed cabana will be located in a cluster with the pool and residence to
promote pad integration and is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the
cabana 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 cabana will comply with the low
profile residential development pattern of the community and will be screened
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district because the 720 square foot size of the cabana is less than
the maximum permitted under the Municipal Code and the cabana does not encroach
into any setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is 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.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of
the Zoning Code because an adequate area is set -aside for the construction of a future
stable structure and adjacent corral.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record,
the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the conversion
of an existing stable into a 720 square foot cabana, in accordance with the development
plan dated June 10, 2004 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 691 subject to the
following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within one year from
the effective date of approval if construction pursuant to this approval has not
commenced within that time period, as required by Section 17.42.070(A) of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code, or the approval granted is otherwise extended pursuant to the
requirements of this section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any conditions
thereof 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 and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning
Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied
with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an approved plan.

the community. The landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and
intent of criteria for approving Conditional Use Permits. The trees and shrubs used in

proposed at 6,106 square feet or 12.4% of the net lot area, (20% permitted); and the
total lot coverage including the structures and paved areas is 13,773 square feet or
27.9% of the total net lot area, (35% permitted).
10. There are two existing building pads on the property. The residential
building pad is 9,155 square feet, which does not include the level area in the front
setback. The structural coverage on this pad is 4,086 square feet or 44.63%, and is
pre-existing. No changes are proposed in this area of the pad. The swimming pool,
cabana and the future stable pad is 14,400 square feet with a coverage of 2,020
square feet or 14.0%. The combined pads total 23,555 square feet and will have
25.9% structural coverage.
11. Disturbed area of the lot will be 39.0%, after the stable is constructed, (40%
permitted). No additional disturbance is necessary for the conversion of the current
stable to the cabana.
12. It will be required that utility lines to the cabana be placed underground.
13. The Rolling Hills Community Association reviewed this project for
architectural design and recommended minor changes.
14. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
