Rolling Hills, California, and the applicant, having submitted evidence
in support of the application, the Planning Commission, being advised,
now makes its Findings and Report as required by the Ordinances of the
City of Rolling Hills, California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicant, Mr. Fred Lacy, is
the owner of that certain real property described as Lot 5-CRB located
at 20 Chuckwagon Road. The Commission finds, further, that notice of
the public hearing in connection with said application was given as
required by Sections.8.06 and 8.07 of Ordinance No. 33 of the City of
Rolling Hills, California, and that no comment, written or verbal, was
received in opposition to the request, and that Mr. James Hawthorne,
22 Chuckwagon Road, telephoned and advised the Clerk that he had no
objection to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicant wishes to close. in
an area between the existing house and the existing garage, which are
located within the prescribed front yard set back. The Commission
finds that the proposed enclosure would enlarge the kitchen and the.
dining room and would not project. further into the, front yard than
the existing residence. The Commission finds further that'other
residences in the. area have approximately the same set back as the
subject property. The Commission finds that' the request should be
• •
approved and a Variance of Front Yard Requirements and Extension of
Non -Conforming Use should be granted in order to preserve substantial
property rights in the same vicinity of zone, and that the granting
of such variance would not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare, nor injurious to property in the same vicinity and zone.
III. 0
From the foregoing it is concluded that a Variance of Front
Yard Requirements and Extension of Non -Conforming Use should be granted
to Mr. Lacy for a residence addition on Lot 5-CRB because of the limited
area in which the residence can be improved, and to grant the applicant
property rights enjoyed by other properties in the area, and it is,
therefore, so ordered.
This approval shall expire one year from the date of grant,
not acted on.
