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 PERMUTED 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.
