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. John Rich with respect to real property located at 20 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 78-EF & 95-B-EF) requesting a modification to the previously approved site plan to permit a previously and illegally constructed sports court to be modified to be a parking area in the front yard at an existing single family residence. Section 2. In April, 1989, a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to merge two lots into one buildable lot and Site Plan Review for a new single family residence were approved by the Planning Commission. Section 3. In April, 1991, a Variance to develop a driveway in the side yard setback exceeding the 20% yard coverage requirement, a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to construct a retaining wall, and a Variance to encroach within the side yard setback to construct a retaining wall were approved by the Planning Commission. The driveway was cut prior to the application and for the purpose of access to a new residence at 24 Outrider Road (Lot 96-SK). Proper grading permits were approved on December 14, 1990. Section 4. On January 4, 1994, applications requesting a Variance to permit encroachment into the front yard for a previously constructed sports court, and requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a previously constructed sports court were withdrawn following duly noticed public hearings on August 17, 1993, September 21, 1993, October 26, 1993, November 16, 1993, and December 21, 1993, and at a field trip visit on September 7, 1993. Thereafter, an application for Site Plan Review Modification was submitted by the applicant. Section 5. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application on January 18, 1994. Section 6. Section 17.46.070 authorizes subsequent modification of an approved Site Plan Review application. Modification of the approved plans and/or any conditions imposed, including additions or deletions, may be considered. The decision on the modification of plans and/or conditions shall be in the same • • RESOLUTION NO. 94-6 PAGE 2 manner as set forth in Sections 17.46.030 and 17.46.040 of the Municipal Code. Section 7. The Planning Commission finds that previous findings contained within the approved Resolution No. 89-9-A, dated April 18, 1989, can be restated as the findings for this approval with the exception that Paragraph A of Section 7 is restated to read as follows: "A. The proposed residential structure is compatible with the low density, rural character requirements of the General Plan. This project is compatible with the Zoning Ordinance because the project is within minimum setbacks and complies with the Zoning Ordinance lot coverage requirements. The net square footage of the two combined lots is approximately 152,378 square feet. The proposed structures equal 8,856 square feet which represents 5.81% structural lot coverage, which is within the 20% of coverage maximum that is permitted. The total lot coverage is approximately 19,137 square feet which represents a proposed total lot coverage of 12.56%, which is within the 35% of coverage maximum that is permitted. The proposed project includes a residence, swimming pool, aviary and proposed future stable, which structures are similar to surrounding residential land use patterns." Section 8. Based upon the preceding findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the request for modification for Zoning Case No. 508 to permit a previously and illegally constructed sports court to be modified to be a parking area in the front yard at an existing single family residence, as indicated on the development plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. Section 9. Except as herein amended, the terms and conditions of Resolution No. 89-9-A, adopted on April 18, 1989 as amended by this Resolution adopted on February 5, 1994, shall be in full force and effect.
