RESOLUTION NO. 95-9
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
RIDING RING AND APPROVING A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN
REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW STABLE AND
CORRAL THAT REQUIRES GRADING IN ZONING CASE NO. 525.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Gary Fournier with
respect to real property at 30 Crest Road East, Rolling Hills (Lot 57-D-MS) requesting
a Conditional Use Permit to construct a riding ring and requesting Site Plan Review
for the construction of a new stable and corral that requires grading.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on March 21, 1995, April 18, 1995, and May 16,
1995, and at a field trip visit on April 5, 1995.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 and Class 4 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15301 and 15304)
and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Sections 17.16.210(A)(3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a riding ring that requires grading grading under certain
conditions. The applicants are requesting to construct a 12,010 square foot riding
ring 30 feet below the existing residence at the central portion of the lot. With
respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds
as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a
riding ring that requires grading would be consistent with the purposes and
objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the
public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in
the, community, and the areas proposed for the riding ring would be located in an
area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of
structures on the lot._
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures have been considered, and the construction of a riding ring will not
adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the proposed riding ring will be constructed below the residential

,building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the riding
ring will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the riding ring will comply with the
low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a
5.015 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to
accommodate such use.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zone district because no structures will encroach into
any setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and 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.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17
of the Zoning Code because a stable structure and corral are also proposed for the lot.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 12,010 square
foot riding ring in accordance with the Development Plan dated May 12, 1995 and
marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 525 subject to the conditions contained in
Section 9.
Section 6. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a
development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any
building or structure may be constructed, including the construction of a barn or
stable that requires a grading permit. The applicants request Site Plan Review to
construct a stable, corral, and riding ring. With respect to the Site Plan Review
application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the
Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structure complies
with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential
development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The
project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements with the
Conditional Use Permit for a riding ring approved in Section 5 of this Resolution.
The lot has a net square foot area of 188,744 square feet. The residence (5,286 sq.ft.),
attached garage (1,070 sq.ft.), guest house (800 sq.ft.), pool (830 sq.ft.), proposed stable
(1,424 sq.ft.), and service yard (300 sq.ft.) will have 9,710 square feet which constitutes
5.1% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be
27,756 square feet which equals 14.7% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum

.overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot
with most of the proposed structures located below and away from the road so as to
reduce the visual impact of the development.
B. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum amount of grading is
proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away
from the proposed riding ring and stable pads and existing neighboring residences.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at
the north side (rear) of this lot.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves several mature trees and shrubs.
E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further,
the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot
will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions
of the property.
F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated
in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed
project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this
irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of
the property.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Crest Road for access.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental
review.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review for construction of a new stable, corral and
riding ring, as indicated on the Development Plan dated May 12, 1995 and marked
Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 8.

approved plan.

with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these
conditions.

purpose of keeping permitted domestic animals. Commercial uses shall not be
permitted.

feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape
surrounding the proposed stable, corral and riding ring.
G. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County
of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related
geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as
approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills
Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a
steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio.
