PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, (CEQA). THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Application was duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Asghar Askari with respect to real property located at 2 Pheasant Lane (Lot 89-B-RH) requesting a Conditional Use Permit and Variance to retain an existing 1,260 square foot two story stable structure in the setback and to allow the existing pavement adjacent to the tack room to remain. An unauthorized addition of 105 square feet was made to lower level of the structure, which triggered the discretionary review. The applicant withdrew a variance from the requirement that the area adjacent to the tack room not be entirely paved. Section 2. The property is zoned RAS-2 and consists of 153,305 square feet (3.5 acres) net. Records indicate that a 2-story stable in the current location was legally constructed in 1961. Plans on record at the RHCA show the first story at 525 square feet and a 630 square foot loft. The stable was constructed with the first story built into a slope with a driveway leading to the residence adjacent to the upper floor. The residence was constructed in 1958. Section 3. The property is irregular in shape, and takes access over 25 Portuguese Bend Road. The property does not have direct access to the Road. The stable was constructed in the narrow -most portion of the lot, both in a roadway easement (although there is no road traversing the property) and in side setback. A 42- foot roadway easement is located along the southwestern property line and a 60-foot roadway easement is located along the south property line. The only access to the residence is through the driveway that is bordering the stable structure. Section 4. In the summer of 2009, it was brought to the City's attention that the stable was being renovated without building permits. A letter to cease all construction was mailed to the owners and subsequently a meeting was held with staff. Dr. and Mrs. Askari were advised on the pending changes to the stable ordinance and the code enforcement was held in abeyance until the new ordinance became effective.

Conditional Use Permit and a Variances for legal nonconforming stable Dear Dr. and Mrs. Askari: The Planning Commission at their March 15, 2011 meeting directed you to restudy the modifications to the stable structure. The intent is to bring the structure both, the tack room area and the storage area, to as closely as possible comply with the ordinance and the structure appearance as a stable, inside and out. I would suggest that you review the original plans for the structure and try to match those configurations as closely as possible. Some of the suggestions brought up by the Commissioners include: • The stove area in the tack room and vents (if any) that could suggest the presence of a cooktop/oven/stove to be eliminated • Concrete driveway along the tack room to be eliminated and area softened with pervious material For the lower floor: • No bathroom facility • Size of the rooms to accommodate a horse (too many partitions/closets) • Interior walls to have a stable like appearance (not finished/exposed look) • Remove the flooring so the floor looks more agricultural • Windows to be removable for easy conversion to animal keeping • Exterior doors to be stable like. The Planning Commission will approve a minimum of 4'x7'6" exterior stable doors. • Remove the glass sliding doors • Make the bottom level one room • Seal the bottom level so it is not accessible • Soften the outside of the structure so it has more of a barn -look • Corral area to be fenced off Please submit revised plans (7 copies) by no later than April 13, 2011. The next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for THURSDAY, April 21, 2011 at 6:30 PM. (Please note the change of day of the meeting).
