PLAN REVIEW MODIFICATION TO PERMIT A PREVIOUSLY AND
ILLEGALLY CONSTRUCTED SPORTS COURT TO BE MODIFIED INTO A
PARKING AREA IN THE FRONT YARD AT AN EXISTING SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 508.
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Use Permit for a previously constructed sports court were withdrawn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

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. In addition, the following further requirements are
imposed as conditions of approval of this Site Plan Review

approval of this Resolution:
A. The entire "as built" parking area shall not be used as a
sports court.
B. The entire "as built" parking area shall be painted green.
C. The net post holes shall be filled and sealed.
