ARESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNC',r OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO REPLACE A STABLE STRUCTURE WITH A GUEST HOUSE
AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR A
GUEST HOUSE AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN
ZONING CASE NO. 510A.
RESOLUTION NO. 749 6xh,' 6iit '4 N
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. David T. Christensen with
respect to real property located at 9 Open Brand Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 114-EF) requesting
a Conditional Use Permit to replace a stable structure with a guest house. During the
hearing process, an application was also submitted requesting Site Plan Review for a guest
house.
Section 2. On July 7, 1994, the Planning Commission approved Resolution
No. 94-17 granting a Conditional Use Permit to replace a stable structure with a guest
house and granting Site Plan Review for a guest house.
Section 3. On July 11, 1994, the City Council took the applications under
jurisdiction with regard to stable access. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on July 25, 1994, August 8, 1994, August 22,1994,
September 12, 1994, September 26, 1994, October 24, 1994, and November 14, 1994,
November 28, 1994, January 9, 1995, January 23, 1995, February 14, 1995, and March 13,
1995, and at a field trip visit on July 29, 1994. At the hearings, the City Council considered
the slope available for vehicle access to a stable. Evidence was heard and presented from
all persons interested in affecting said proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and
from members of the City staff and the City Council having reviewed, analyzed and
studied said proposal.
Section 4 The City Council finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1
Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically exempt
from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(5) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a Guest House under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting
to construct a 720 square foot guest house to replace a 400 square foot stable structure. With
respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the replacement of
a stable structure with a guest house 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 area
proposed for the guest house 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 guest house to
replace a stable will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the existing structure used as a stable is at a lower level
than the residential building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that
the guest house 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 guest house will comply with the
low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 2.75 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 the 720 square foot size of the guest
house is less than the 800 square foot maximum permitted and the guest house does not
encroach into any setback areas.
Resolution No. 749 -1-
E. The proposed conditiose is consistent with the portions of
the LLAngeles 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 the guest house will be replacing an existing stable
structure and there is sufficient space on the lot for development of a stable.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby
approves a Conditional Use Permit for the replacement of a stable structure with a guest
house in accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 510A
subject to the conditions contained in Section 10.
Section 7. Section 17.46.010 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 or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing
buildings may be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to the size of the
building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of
the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month
period.
Section 8. The City Council 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. The lot has a net square foot area of 117,600
square feet. The residence (2,600 sq. ft.), garage (450 sq. ft.), swimming pool (400 sq. ft.),
proposed guest house (720 sq. ft.), and stable (450 sq. ft.) will have 4,620 square feet which
constitutes 3.9% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage
requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 7,470
square feet which equals 6.3% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot
coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with the proposed
guest house located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the
development and is similar and compatible with several neighboring developments.
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) and grading will be minimal to minimize building coverage
on the building pad itself.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the eastern canyon at
the rear of the lot.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and
native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and supplements it with landscaping
that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
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. Significant portions of
the lot will be left undeveloped so as to minimize the impact of development.
F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and mass
with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences because as indicated in
Paragraph A, lot coverage maximums will not be exceeded and the proposed project is of
consistent scale with the neighborhood, thereby grading will be required only to restore the
natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structure to lot coverage is similar
to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity.
Resolution No. 749 -2-
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to .
convenie�nd safety of circulation for pedestrians vehicles because the proposed
project wilTGtilize the existing vehicular access, there1aving no further impact on the
roadway.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review.
Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby
approves the Site Plan Review for a guest house as indicated on the Development Plan
attached hereto as Exhibit A subject to the conditions contained in Section 10.
Section 10. The Conditional Use Permit for the replacement of an existing
stable with a guest house approved in Section 6 and the Site Plan Review for a guest house
approved in Section 9 as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit A, are subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit and the Site Plan Review approval
shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections
17.42.070(A) and 17.46.080(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use
Permit and Site Plan Review approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, the
Permit shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that
the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so
for a period of thirty (30) days.
C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance,
the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise approved by Variance.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial
conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A except as otherwise provided in
these conditions.
E. No kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be provided within
the guest house.
F. No vehicular access or paved parking area shall be developed
within 50 feet of the guest house.
G. Occupancy of the guest house shall be, limited to persons
employed on the premises and their immediate family or by the temporary guest of the
occupants of the main residence. No guest may remain in occupancy for more than 30
days in any six month period.
H. Renting of the guest house is prohibited.
I. The applicant shall construct a stable and a four (4) foot wide
path leading from the main building pad to the pad for the stable as shown on the site
plan marked Exhibit A. The path shall not exceed a slope of 25% at any one point and shall
be constructed with materials to assure its stability and permanency to the satisfaction of
City staff. Construction of walls or other structures in any required setback will require a
Variance application by the applicant.
J. 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 City Council must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for
their review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1
slope ratio.
K The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills
Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any
building or grading permit.
Resolution No. 749 -3-
L. The guest house shall r!xceed 720 square feet. The guest
house ding pad coverage shall not exceed 30%.
M. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all
conditions of this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review, pursuant to Section

PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued
ZONING CASE NO. 510A
MR. DAVID T. CHRISTENSEN, 9 OPEN BRAND ROAD (LOT 114-EF)
APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO REPLACE A STABLE STRUCTURE WITH
A GUEST HOUSE AND A PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF A
SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR A GUEST HOUSE.
City Manger Nealis presented the staff report and indicated that a letter is attached from
Bonnie Irvine stating her preference that the structure become a guest house rather than
remain a stable due to its proximity to her residence and that only access to it is through
her property. Mayor Pro Tem Pernell opened the public hearing and called for testimony.
Councilmember Murdock stated that she is unable to support this case as it is presented
since she feels that replacing a stable structure with a guest house on this property would
preclude it from being a horse lot in the future. Mayor Pro Tem Pernell stated that he
concurs with Councilmember Murdock's position. Councilmember Hill indicated that he
also concurs with Councilmember Murdock if the proposed guest house would negate a
location for a future stable on the third tier of the property. Councilmember Hill
encouraged the applicant to consider other options to accomplish the need for guest
accommodations.
Mayor Pro Tem Pernell suggested that the applicant consider Councilmember Hill's
suggestion and asked the applicant if he would prefer to continue the public hearing to
allow for the entire City Council to be present to consider his proposal.
• Mr. David Christensen, applicant, indicted that it is his understanding that a stable
could be built on the third tier under the existing rules and allowable without City
discretionary approval. He further stated that his neighbor objects to the present
stable's proximity to her residence. Mr. Christensen stated that it is possible that he
may be out of town for the next City Council Meeting, however, he has no objection
to a continuance.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Pernell's question regarding the applicant's statement that
a stable could be built on the third tier under the existing rules, Principal Planner Ungar
reported that the Municipal Code indicates that a stable and corral shall be located only on
a portion of a lot where the slope is no greater than four to one. She indicated that the
applicant's drawing does comply with this. She further stated that as the area is shown on
the plans, access is along the side yard and is quite steep. She also stated that if a stable does
not need grading, it can be developed on a reasonable portion of a lot. Principal Planner
Ungar further stated that the Municipal Codes states that structures shall not be located on
the side or bottoms of canyons or natural drainage courses.
Discussion ensued regarding provisions for access to and from a stable area. Staff was
directed to investigate this issue.
Hearing no further discussion and no objection, Mayor Pro Tern Pernell continued the
public hearing to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council to be held on
Mc y, September 26, 1994, at 7:30 p.m. in t' -My Council Chambers at City Hall, 2
Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills California.

APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT TO REPLACE A STABLE STRUCTURE WITH A GUEST HOUSE AND A
PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL
FOR A GUEST HOUSE.
•
City Manager Nealis presented the staff report. Mayor Heinsheimer noted
Councilmember Murdock's interest in this case and indicated that in her absence this
evening, the City Council would consider testimony relative to this case and provide
Councilmember Murdock with audio tapes for her review and continue the public hearing
to September 12, 1994, for her input.
Mayor Heinsheimer opened the public hearing and called for testimony.
• Mr. Dave Christensen, Applicant, indicated that he is anxious to complete the
application process for the improvements to his property. Mr. Christensen stated
that his neighbor objects to the structure, which he proposes to replace with a guest
house, remaining as a stable due to posibility of the smell and flies generated by
horses. Mr. Christensen also stated that no one came forward to object to his
proposed plan during the Planning Commission public hearing process and that it
has been approved by the Planning Commission. He further stated that it makes
sense to him that a future stable and corral be located on pad number three, since it
is located away from residential structures.
Mayor Heinsheimer indicated that the concerns raised by the City Council relative to this
proposal are access to the proposed future stable and corral area on pad number three and
the assurance that this lot would remain a horse lot in the future. Councilmembers
discussed various methods proposed by the applicant for accessing the stable area on lot
number three and the steepness of the property.
In response to the applicant's concern regarding the keeping of horses versus his request
for a guest house, Councilmember Lay explained that horsekeeping properties are,
consistent with the City's rural nature and that guest houses require a Conditional Use
Permit. Councilmember Lay further stated that some properties in the City can
accommodate both whereas others cannot. Councilmember Pernell added that the
presence on horses in the community have contributed to its rural character which is
enjoyed by those who choose to live in the City.
Hearing no further comments and hearing no objection, Mayor Heinsheimer continued
the public hearing to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council to be held
on Monday, September 12, 1994.

City Manager Nealis presented the staff report. Mayor Heinsheimer opened the continued public
hearing and called for testimony. Hearing none, Councilmembers discussed their concerns
regarding access to the proposed future stable and corral location and the suggestion that the
applicants consider building their guest house on the third level pad. City Manager Nealis reported
that the City has not heard from the applicants regarding this suggestion.
Councilmembers discussed their options including directing staff to prepare a Resolution of Denial,
remanding it back to the Planning Commission if the applicant were to revise their plans or
continuing the public hearing. It was suggested that the public hearing be continued to allow staff
to contact the applicants to determine if they are willing to entertain the option of placing the guest
house on the lower pad and allow them to be present at the public hearing.
Councilmember Lay moved that staff prepare a draft Resolution of Denial for City Council review
at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Councilmember Murdock seconded motion which carried
unanimously. City Manager Nealis reported that staff will contact the applicant and explain the
situation as it has been presented this evening.

(proposed guest house pad), and proposed stable pad. Those in attendance viewed the pre-existing
encroachments of the residential structure as they relate to the property lines.
Councilmember Allen Lay left the meeting at 7:53 a.m.
It was expressed by Councilmember Murdock that construction of the guest house and proposed
future construction of the stable and corral area on the third lower pad essentially precludes this
lot from equestrian purposes in the future. Councilmember Hill expressed the idea of the use of
a four -wheeled ATV vehicle for the removal of manure from the lower pad.
Discussion ensued regarding the ability to construct a future stable on the lower pad.
Councilmembers also discussed the possibility of the applicant constructing the guest house on the
lower pad. Staff was directed to prepare calculations regarding the guest house on the lower pad

Re: Conditional Use Permit
Enclosed are the various materials for my application for our Conditional Use Permit to
demolish an existing stable that is approximately 400 square feet, and on the same site
construct a guest house of approximately 800 square feet.
Additional items that may help clarify my application include:
1) Our neighbor, Mrs. Bonnie Irvine, is the only neighbor that would be affected from
a visual point of view with this change. Our other immediate neighbors, the
Webber's and Kobayashi's, are unable to see the existing stable and consequently
would not be affected by the change to a guest house.
2) The original house plans and site plan (approximately 40-50 years old) had a
licensed civil engineer or surveyor prepare topographical maps. I believe copies
should be on file with the city or the community association. The topography is
essentially unchanged since then or since the subsequent addition to the house in the
early 1960's. We have included a copy of the early 1960's addition which shows
the topography. Because the proposed guest house will be on exactly the same site
as the stable, we did not believe it was necessary to go to the additional expense of
having another topographic survey. I think this will also be validated when the
planning commission members visit the site.
3) In gathering the names for all those people within 1,000 feet of the proposed guest
house, we also included the names for people in Rancho Palos Verdes as the
southern boundary to our lot in the city limit for Rolling Hills. We were unsure as
to whether or not these people should be notified but have gathered those names
and included them on our list.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,

Dear Lola:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the slope drawings prepared
by my engineer were apparently lost in the mail over the holidays. Because
he mailed the originals, it will take some time for him to reconstruct these
drawings. Therefore, I will not be able to get the drawings in tune for us to
sufficiently prepare for the January 9 meeting, and ask that my matter be
continued to the next meeting.
Very truly yours,
David T. Christensen`
