(DELMAN) BACKGROUND 1.. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2001-18, which is attached, on October 16, 2001 at their regular meeting granting a request for a site plan review approval for grading and construction of a 612 square feet detached recreation room and 2,210 square feet game court and granting a conditional use permit to construct a recreation room and a game court at an existing single family residence. The vote was 4-1, with Commissioner Sommer voting against the project. 2. During the course of the public hearings, the applicant reduced his proposal from requesting an 800-sq.ft. recreation room and 2,779-sq.ft. recreational game court and repositioned the recreation court to be further away from the top of the slope of the lot. Pursuant to Section 17.16.040 of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed uses require a Conditional Use Permit. 3. The proposed project will be located on a relatively flat portion of the rear yard and will not require retaining walls. The rear of the subject property slopes down into the George F. Canyon. The proposed court will be approximately 310 feet from the rear property line (which is located in the canyon), and the top (rear) of the graded pad for the game court will be between 270 and 265 feet from ZC No. 638 CC 10/22/01 1 Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 4 the rear property line. A 75-foot wide trail easement exists along the rear property line. The trail is located in the canyon. The proposed game court will be approximately 235 feet from the trail. 4. The proposed project is subject to Sections 17.16.210(A)(2) (Cabana or detached recreation room) and 17.16.210(A)(7) (Recreational game courts) of the Zoning Ordinance.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Allan Delman with respect to real property located at 11 Chuckwagon Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 4-CRB) requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a 612 square foot recreation room, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a 2,210 square foot recreational game court, and requesting Site Plan Review to permit the construction of the recreation game court and recreation room. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider these applications on July 17, 2001, August 21, 2001, September 18, 2001 and at a field trip visit on August 6, 2001. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. Section 3. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval for a detached recreation room under certain conditions provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Planning Commission. The applicants are requesting to construct a 612 square foot detached recreation room. 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 detached. recreation room 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 recreation room would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existingconfiguration 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 detached recreation room will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed use will be constructed at the central portion of the lot and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the recreation room 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 recreation room will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 1.55 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 zoning district in which it is located. 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 an adequate area has been set -aside . for a future stable structure and adjacent corral on the lot. Section 4. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the 'Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 612 square foot detached recreation room in accordance with the development plan dated October 4, 2001 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 638 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(7) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code allows for the construction of a recreational game court with certain conditions provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Planning Commission. The applicants are requesting to construct a 2,210 square foot recreational game court east of the recreation room. 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 recreation game court 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 and appropriately located uses in the community, and the area proposed for the recreational game court would be located in an area on the property that is on a second pad below the residential building pad. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent.uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a 2,210 square foot recreational game court will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed recreational game court will be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad, will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the recreational game court will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, will accommodate recreation for the owners and their children, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding:,property owners. RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 Page 2 • • C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the recreational game court will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 1.55 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 graded area will not exceed a maximum graded area of 10,000 square feet and does not exceed total maximum cubic yardage of 750 cubic yards. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan related 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 adequate area for a future stable structure and adjacent corral has been set aside to be located on the southern portion of the lot, west of the recreational game court Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings and theevidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves the request for a Conditional Use Permit in Zoning Case No. 638 for a proposed 2,210 square foot recreational game court, as shown on the Development Plan dated, October 4, 2001 marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. Section 7. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period. With 'respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting construction of the detached recreation room and recreational game court, at an existing single family residence, 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 structures comply 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 46,627 square feet. The proposed detached recreation room (612 sq.ft.), recreational game court (2,210 sq.ft.), and the existing single family residence (2,960 sq.ft.), garage (462 sq.ft.), service yard (100 sq.ft.), pool (390 sq.ft.), and future stable (450 sq.ft.) will have 7,180 square feet which 'constitutes 15.4% of the net lot, which is within the 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 9,249 square feet or 19.8% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 Page 3 • • coverage requirement. The proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot which has a gentle slope have been considered, and the construction of a 612 square foot detached recreation room, and a 2,210 square foot recreational game court will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed uses will be constructed on a portion of a secondary building pad, located below the residence and will not be visible from the street, will be least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, are of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the project will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, will accommodate recreation for the owners, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this long, narrow sloping lot. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. 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 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 lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain canyon vistas across portions of the property. Although the proposed structures are located in the rear yard, they will not effect a change to the existing residence.. The structures proposed will not be visible from Chuckwagon Road. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain canyon vistas across portions of the property. F. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue at the east side (rear) of this lot. G. The development plan preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. H. 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 an existing driveway at the northwestern portion of the property off Chuckwagon Road for access. RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 Page 4 I. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt from its requirements. Section 8.

The Vote was 4-1, with Commissioner Sommer voting against the project. During the September 18 public hearing, the applicant's representative presented a revised site plan from the original proposal, indicating that the proposed sports court has been lowered and repositioned on the pad. This positioning will result in lesser grading quantities by at least 115 cubic yards and a smaller pad area. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2001-18, which is attached, approving Zoning Case No. 638, as per the revised Site Plan dated October 4, 2001. Printed on Recycled Paper. RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED RECREATION ROOM AND RECREATION GAME COURT AND GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A RECREATION ROOM AND A RECREATION GAME COURT AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 11 CHUCKWAGON ROAD IN ZONING CASE NO. 638. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Dr. and Mrs. Allan Delman with respect to real property located at 11 Chuckwagon Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 4-CRB) requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a 612 square foot recreation room, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a 2,210 square foot recreational game court, and requesting Site Plan Review to permit the construction of the recreation game court and recreation room. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider these applications on July 17, 2001, August 21, 2001, September 18, 2001 and at a field trip visit on August 6, 2001. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. Section 3. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval for a detached recreation room under certain conditions provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Planning Commission. The applicants are requesting to construct a 612 square foot detached recreation room. 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 detached recreation room 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 recreation room 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 detached recreation room will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed use will be constructed at the central portion of the lot and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the recreation room 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 recreation room will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 1.55 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 zoning district in which it is located. 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 an adequate area has been set -aside for a future stable structure and adjacent corral on the lot. Section 4. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 612 square foot detached recreation room in accordance with the development plan dated October 4, 2001 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 638 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(7) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code allows for the construction of a recreational game court with certain conditions provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Planning Commission. The applicants are requesting to construct a 2,210 square foot recreational game court east of the recreation room. 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 recreation game court 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 and appropriately located uses in the community, and the area proposed for the recreational game court would be located in an area on the property that is on a second pad below the residential building pad. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a 2,210 square foot recreational game court will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed recreational game court will be constructed on a portion of the secondary building pad, will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the recreational game court will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, will accommodate recreation for the owners and their children, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 Page 2 C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the recreational game court will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 1.55 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 graded area will not exceed a maximum graded area of 10,000 square feet and does not exceed total maximum cubic yardage of 750 cubic yards. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan related 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 adequate area for a future stable structure and adjacent corral has been set aside to be located on the southern portion of the lot, west of the recreational game court Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves the request for a Conditional Use Permit in Zoning Case No. 638 for a proposed 2,210 square foot recreational game court, as shown on the Development Plan dated, October 4, 2001 marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this resolution. Section 7. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading requiring a grading permit or 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting construction of the detached recreation room and recreational game court, at an existing single family residence, 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 structures comply 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 46,627 square feet. The proposed detached recreation room (612 sq.ft.), recreational game court (2,210 sq.ft.), and the existing single family residence (2,960 sq.ft.), garage (462 sq.ft.), service yard (100 sq.ft.), pool (390 sq.ft.), and future stable (450 sq.ft.) will have 7,180 square feet which constitutes 15.4% of the net lot, which is within the 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway.will be 9,249 square feet or 19.8% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 Page 3 • • coverage requirement. The proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot which has a gentle slope have been considered, and the construction of a 612 square foot detached recreation room, and a 2,210 square foot recreational game court will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed uses will be constructed on a portion of a secondary building pad, located below the residence and will not be visible from the street, will be least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, are of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the project will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, will accommodate recreation for the owners, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this long, narrow sloping lot. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. 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 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 lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain canyon vistas across portions of the property. Although the proposed structures are located in the rear yard, they will not effect a change to the existing residence.. The structures proposed will not be visible from Chuckwagon Road. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain canyon vistas across portions of the property. F. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue at the east side (rear) of this lot. G. The development plan preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. H. 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 an existing driveway at the northwestern portion of the property off Chuckwagon Road for access. RESOLUTION NO. 2001-18 Page 4 • • I. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt from its requirements. Section 8.

McHATTIE, BOLTON ENGINEERING JULY 7, 2001 Requests for a Site Plan Review for grading for a detached recreation room and a recreational game court and Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a proposed detached recreation room and game court at an existing single family residence. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission considered this application at the July 17, 2001 and August 21, 2001 public hearings and viewed the site on August 6, 2001. 2. At the August 21, 2001 meeting the Commission, after closing the public hearing did no reach consensus on the proposed project, as the vote for approval failed, with Commissioner Hankins abstaining, because she did not view the site. 3. Commissioner Hankins volunteered to visit the project and to report at the September 18, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. Chairman Roberts opened the public hearing, so that a decision may be made at the September meeting. In addition, the applicant was advised that the Commission could consider a revised plan, at the next meeting, should the applicant wish to do so. -1- Printed on Recycled Paper. 4. Commissioner Hankins will have viewed the site prior to this evening's meeting. 5. The applicant scaled down the request for the game court and submitted a revised site plan. The applicant is currently requesting to construct a 612 square feet detached recreation room and 2,210 square feet court. (Originally the applicant proposed an 800-sq.ft. recreation room and 2,779-sq.ft. recreational game court. Subsequently, the applicant proposed a 612 square foot detached recreation room and 2,210 square foot recreational game court and has revised the plans slightly and will present those plans this evening). Pursuant to Section 17.16.040 of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed uses require a Conditional Use Permit. 6. During the site inspection, the Commissioners questioned whether the proposed game court will be located in a canyon. The proposed project will be located on a relatively flat portion of the rear yard and will not require retaining walls. The rear of the subject property slopes down into the George F. Canyon. The proposed court will be approximately 310 feet from the rear property line (which is located in the canyon), and the top (rear) of the graded pad for the game court will be between 270 and 265 feet from the rear property line. A 75-foot wide trail easement exists along the rear property line. The trail is located in the canyon. The proposed game court will . be approximately 235 feet from the trail. 7. The proposed project as presented is subject to Sections 17.16.210(A)(2) (Cabana or detached recreation room) and 17.16.210(A)(7) (Recreational game courts) of the Zoning Ordinance. Conditions for a detached recreation room include that no sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities is permitted. Conditions for a recreational game court are attached to this staff report, and include but are not limited to the requirement that a game court not be located in the front yard, or within 50 feet of any paved road or parking area, that the game court conform to the lot coverage limitations required by the City, and other conditions. 8. Building permits show that the existing residence with garage was constructed in 1957. Several additions and remodeling took place in 1988 and 1989. A portion of the existing house encroaches into the front yard setback. Grading for the game court and recreation room will require 480 cubic yards of cut soil and 480 cubic yards of fill soil. The lot slopes downward from west to east. 9,. 10. Currently there exists one, 9,220 square foot building pad, developed with the main residence and garage, a pool and a service yard. The building pad coverage on the existing pad is 42.4%. The net lot area of the parcel is 46,627 square feet and the current structural lot coverage is 8.4%, and the total lot coverage (including all structures and paved areas) is 12.8%. • 11. Proposed is a new 3,980 square foot building pad, to be located in the rear, (east), of the main house for the construction of the proposed 612 square foot recreation room and the 2,210 square foot game court. The building pad coverage on this pad will be 70%. 12. The structural coverage of the net lot area will be 15.5%, (20% permitted), and the total coverage, including paved areas will be 19.8% of the net lot area, (35% permitted). 13. The disturbed area will be 16,070 square feet or 34.5%, (40% permitted). 14. A 3' high three rail fence will be constructed along the easterly and southerly side of the sports court. 15. A 450 square foot future stable and 550 square foot future corral are proposed to be located on the southern portion of the lot. Access to the future stable will be available from Chuckwagon Road within the northern easement. 16. The project is subject to review and approval of the Rolling Hills Community Association, (RHCA). 17. The applicant has requested that the RHCA relinquish a portion of the 25-foot easement along the northerly property line. The Association indicated that the request would be granted. 18.It will be required that all utilities to the recreation room be placed underground. 19.It has been determined that the project is exempt from the CEQA requirements. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the staff report, take public testimony and direct staff to prepare appropriate resolution. -3- RECENTLY APPROVED SPORT COURTS/TENNIS COURTS.

McHATTIE, BOLTON ENGINEERING JULY 7, 2001 Requests for a Site Plan Review for grading for a detached recreation room and a recreational game court and Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a proposed detached recreation room and game court at an existing single family residence. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission viewed the site on Monday, August 6, 2001. 2. The applicant revised the proposal since the original request, and is currently requesting to construct a 612 square foot detached recreation room and 2,210 square foot recreational game court. Originally the applicant proposed an 800 sq.ft. recreation room and 2,779 sq.ft. recreational game court. Pursuant to Section 17.16.040 of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed uses require a Conditional Use Permit. 3. During the site inspection, the Commissioners questioned whether the proposed game court will be located in a canyon. The proposed project will be located on a relatively flat portion of the rear yard and will not require retaining walls. The rear of the subject property slopes down into the George F. Canyon. The proposed court will be approximately 310 feet from the rear property line (which is located in the canyon), and the top (rear) of the graded pad for the game court will be between 270 and 265 feet from the rear property line. A 75- foot wide trail easement exists along the rear property line. The trail is located in the canyon. The proposed game court will be approximately 235 feet from the trail. 4. The proposed project as presented is subject to Sections 17.16.210(A)(2) (Cabana or detached recreation room) and 17.16.210(A)(7) (Recreational game courts) of the Zoning Ordinance.

A portion of the existing house encroaches into the front yard setback. 6. Grading for the game court and recreation room will require 480 cubic yards of cut soil and 480 cubic yards of fill soil. The lot slopes downward from west to east. 7. Currently there exists one, 9,220 square foot building pad, developed with the main residence and garage, a pool and a service yard. The building pad coverage on the existing pad is 42.4%. The net lot area of the parcel is 46,627 square feet and the current structural lot coverage is 8.4%, and the total lot coverage (including all structures and paved areas) is 12.8%. 8. Proposed is a new 3,980 square foot building pad, to be located in the rear 5 ( (east), of the main house for the construction of the proposed 612 square foot recreation room and the 2,210 square foot game court, (total of 2,822 sq.ft.). The building pad coverage on this pad will be 70.9%. The combined structural pad 1 0 /444 200/ coverage on the 13,200 square feet building pads (including the future stable) is proposed at 54.4%. 9.
