SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 396, MS. MARION RUTH
5 OUTRIDER ROAD (LOT 48-EF)
BACKGROUND
Attached is a request by Mr. Douglas McHattie for a one year time
extension for a Site Plan Review for a proposed residential
reconstruction on the subject site. City Council Resolution No.
599 was approved on December 11, 1989 for a proposed Site Plan. A
request for a Variance for construction of a stable in the front
yard was withdrawn. Since that time, a number of setbacks have
befallen the project as noted by Mr. McHattie.
Also, the original plot plan was reduced in size. The original
house and detached garage proposed was 6,180 square feet and the
proposed project has been reduced to 5,020 square feet including an
attached garage.
There are two issues: 1) That the current plot plan is
substantially the same as the approved plot plan, and 2) The
extension of the Site Plan approval.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission review the case.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STAFF
SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 396 - MARION RUTH - LOT 80-EF-
5 OUTRIDER ROAD
Discussion:
Subject to recent discussion regarding a future stable site location,
the applicant has submitted a revised plan which now depicts the
stable in the rear yard area of the subject property. However, in
reviewing the plans, Staff ascertained that the stable site location
may not comply with the requirements of Rolling Hills Municipal
Code. Section 17.16.011 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that a
stable be "located not less than thirty-five feet from any residence
and not less than twenty-five feet from any property line."
Correspondingly, this raised the issue of properly siting a stable
location in relation to the proposed residential reconstruction that
was approved by the site plan review.
On the revised plan, the stable site has been located twenty-five
feet (25') from the property line and outside the easement. This
puts the future stable closer to the residential structure, thereby,
raising a structure separation issue. In evaluating the code
requirement, one may interpret the code section in the following
manners:
1. Required separation is at the closest points between the
stable structure and the residential structure (include
attached garage).
2. Required separation is at the closest points between the
stable structure and the residential "living space" or
dwelling purposes (not including garage).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council examine the structure
separation issue, and consider the second statement above as policy
as it pertains to the interpretation of the applicable ordinance
section.
