ZONING CASE NO. 129
FINDINGS AND REPORT
The application of Dr. Michael Barnett, Lot 50-EF, Eastfield
Tract, for a conditional use permit under Section 3.06, Front Yard
Requirements and Section 3.07, Side Yard Requirements, Article III,
Ordinance No. 33 for construction of a tennis court came on for
hearing on the 20th day of November, 1973 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. Michael Barnett,
is the owner of that certain real property described as Lot 50-EF,
Eastfield Tract, located in the City of Rolling Hills, California,
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, California.
II.
The Commission finds, further, that no communication, written
or oral, had been received in opposition to the request, and that a
civil engineer employed by Dr. Barnett stated that the proposed
location is the only logical site for the tennis court to preserve
an existing three rail fence and to eliminate the necessity of
cutting into the house pad.
III.
The Commission further finds that because of the wedge shape
of the property there is no hidden back or side, and Eastfield Drive
borders two sides of the property. The applicant has advised the
Commission that a horse corral is presently located in the area where
he wishes to build a tennis court, there will be no lights, and the
area is fairly well screened from Eastfield Drive, and a landscape
plan is being prepared for the property. The Commission finds, further,
that there are other tennis courts in the area; at least one required
similar conditional use permits, and conditional use permits for
construction in the side and front yards should be granted in order
to preserve substantial property rights possessed by other property
in the same vicinity and zone.
IV.
From the foregoing it is concluded that a variance of Side Yard
Requirements under Article III, Sections 3.06 and 3.07 of Ordinance
No. 33 should be granted by the Planning Commission of the City of
Rolling Hills to Dr. Michael Barnett, Lot 50-EF, Eastfield Tract,
in accordance with the plot plan marked Exhibit I on file in these
proceedings, and it is, therefore, so ordered.
