RESOLUTION NO. 2013-08
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A STABLE WITH COVERED PORCH AND A
CORRAL AND GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH WITH A
PORTION OF THE CORRAL FURTHER INTO THE REAR SETBACK
THAN PERMITTED IN ZONING CASE NO. 835 AT 0 CHESTNUT
LANE, (LOT 241-A-1MS), (TAKAHASHI). THE PROJECT HAS BEEN
DETERMINED TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi with
respect to real property located at 0 Chestnut Lane (Lot 241-A-1-MS), Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 900 square foot stable with 192
square foot covered porch and a 3,008 square foot corral, of which 1,850 square feet
would encroach further into the rear setback than allowed. Pursuant to the Zoning
Ordinance, stables and corrals may be located 25-feet from the rear property line,
however the proposed corral would be located 10 feet from the rear property line, which
requires a Variance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on February 19, 2013 and April 16, 2013 and at a field trip
visit on April 16, 2013. 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 and one neighbor were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-2 and consists of 2.35 acres gross
(102,366 sq. ft.) and 2.05 acres net (89,440 sq.ft.). The property is currently developed wit
a 4,320 square foot new residence with 885 square foot garage, 466 square foot
swimming pool/spa in the front yard area and a service yard. No grading is proposed
with this development.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as Class 3
exemption from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Section 17.18 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval
of a stable over 200 square feet and a corral over 550 square feet, provided the Planning
Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. With respect to this request for a
Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code. The Commission must consider applications for conditional use
permit and may, with such conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional
use which will not jeopardize, adversely affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a
menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be materially detrimental to the
property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of the stable
and corral would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan because the use is consistent with similar uses in the
community, meets all the applicable code development standards for a stable and corral,
and the area is located in an area on the property that is adequately sized to
accommodate the stable and adjoining corral. The proposed structure is appropriately
located in that it will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures used for habitation
or containing sleeping quarters.

•
C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been
c'ortsidered, and the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed stable and corral orientation
is not towards neighbors and its general location is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so as to not impactthe view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. Condition
has been added tot his approval that if threes or shrubs are planted, they shall not block
the view from adjacent properties. The proposed stable and corral are to be located on an
already graded area, therefore preserving the natural terrain of the remaining of the
property.
D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the stable complies with the low profile
residential development pattern of the community and will not give the property an
over -built look, and the corral area will remain open and unobstructed. The lot is 2.05
acres net in size and is sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed structure.
E. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district and requires a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section
17.18 of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. 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.
Section 6. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Code permit approval of
a variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when, due to
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable
to other similar properties in the same zone, strict application of the Code would deny
the property owner substantial property rights enjoyed by other properties in the same
vicinity and zone. The applicant seeks a variance from the requirement that stable and
corrals may be located up to 25-foot from the rear property line, where as the proposed
corral would be located 10 feet from the rear property line, (Section 17.18.090). With
respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other
property or class of use in the same zone because the lot was previously graded to allow
for a stable and corral in the rear yard area. The topography of the lot together with the
fact that the existing stable pad and residence are located in the rear of the lot create
difficulty in constructing a stable and corral elsewhere on the property.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, but
which is denied to the property in question because due to the existing grade, irregular
lot configuration it would be a hardship to locate the corral elsewhere and still meet the
distance separation between structures. The expansive open space in the front
comfortably supports a stable and corral in the rear. The limited depth of the property
and slopes in the front places a hardship on locating the stable and corral in the side or
front areas. The proposed corral is to be located on an already graded area, therefore
preserving the natural terrain of the remaining of the property.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in
which the property is located because a corral would not affect any neighbor's views and
therefore property value and would be screened from the street. Development of the
corral in the rear yard setback will allow substantial portion of the front of the lot to
remain undeveloped.
E. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous
waste facilities.

• •
F. The variance request is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed
project, together with the variance, will be compatible with the objectives, policies,
general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and will uphold the City's
goals to protect and promote construction of equestrian facilities.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings in Section 5 and 6, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 835 a Conditional Use Permit for a stable
and corral and a Variance to locate the corral in the rear yard setback, not less than 10'
from the rear property line, subject to the following conditions:

Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the project require a
Variance.
The proposed plan indicates a new 900 sq. ft stable, tack room and 3000 sq. ft. corrall. The corrall
is within the 25 foot sideyard setback. Placing the corral within the setback was done at the request
of the Architectural Committee to provide better horse access to the two stables. The design was
limited as the pad for the stable and corral was cut in the existing hill and access to the pad is from
the uphill side. Alternative were investigated through the Planning Director and the Architectural
Committee and the proposed plan is the result of that investigation.
-12-
Criteria to be satisfied for Brant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and zone.
Approximately 1/3 of the pad created for the stable and corral during original construction is within
the 25 foot setback. Although the stable is entirely outside of the setback corral fencing is within
the setback to provide additional access to the horse stalls. The additional access is provided at
the request of the Architectural Comittee.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located because
The new corral fence, within the setback is entirely on the existing pad and not readily visible any —
from adjacent properties. It appears inconsequential to public welllfare nor injurious to public
welfare. The new corral and stable are well away from any adjacent habitable structure.
FILING FEE
A filing fee must accompany the application. Make check payable to: CITY OF ROLLING
HILLS.

NATURE OF PROPOSED PROTECT
EMAIL:
miki@fc2.co.ip
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what aspects of the project require a Site Plan
Review:
Condition of initial approval was for future improvements to require a site plan review.
Project includes a 900 sq. ft.stable with 40% of the stable a tack room. The stable is suitable for
the care and keeping of horses. The architecture is identical to that of the existing house. The
corral extends into the 25 foot sideyard setback to provide additional horse access to the stable
at the request of the Architectural Committee.
Describe and delineate on plans any new basement area square footage
N / A
SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA.
Site plan review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding. Describe
in detail the project's conformance with the criteria below:
A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it
compares to the sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses.
The new 900 sq. ft. stable is single story and is matched to the existing house architecturally.
The stable is within setbacks with the exception of the corral.
B. How does the project preserve and integrate into the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing natural
topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land
forms (such as hillsides and knolls)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing natural features.
The stable interrupts natural contours as 24 lineal feet of porch, 6 feet wide extends over the existing
slope.
The projected portion of the stable is at the porch only and the 4 foot high foundation sem wall
exposed can be easily screened with planting. If the stable and not the tack occupied this area
the stable exterior wall would project out of and extend over the slope. The shape of the stable
footprint best preserves existing natural features.
C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the site to minimize grading? Extensive grading and
recontouring of existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved. Graded slopes shall be rounded and
contoured so as to blend with existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage or redirect drainage flow
unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed
minimization on lots.
The only grading is at the stable where a six foot wide section of porch extends over the slope.
6 cu. ft. of fill is required at this area. 6 cu tds of fill is balanced with 6 cu yds of cut at the
corral. 8 lineal feet of retaining wall is required at the corral end of the porch with a 3 foot max _
height.
D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding native vegetation and supplement it with
landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community? Landscaping should provide
a buffer and transition zone between private and public areas. Explain how the project preserves native vegetation,
integrates landscaping and creates buffers.
The proposed improvements only displace existing unlanscaped stable and corral pad.
E. How does the site development plan preserve the natural and undeveloped state of thelot by minimizing building
coverage? Lot coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual amount of lot coverage
permitted should depend upon the existing buildable area of the lot.
Tte stable including tack room is entirely on the existing pad created for pad and stable.
F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences? Setbacks shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall be imposed where necessary
to assure proportionality and openness. Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with the existing setbacks
of neighboring properties.
The project is small in magnitude relative to the lot site size. Please note the total coverage of
structue at 9.4 % and the lot is 89000 sq. ft.
G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and
vehicles? Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway location, design, landscaping and

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of the CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
("City") and by private deed restrictions enforced by the ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are completely independent and separate.
Both must be satisfied and approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in Rolling Hills.
An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean or imply or ensure approval by the other.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has been fully read and its admonition is
completely understood.
