A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION TO A POOL
HOUSE AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO.
519.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Brian Pratt with
respect to real property located at 33 Chuckwagon Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 17-CF)
requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct an addition to a pool house.
Section 2. The existing house, attached garage, and the pool were built in
1956. The pool house was constructed in 1958 prior to the requirement for a
Conditional Use Permit for pool houses.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on September 20, 1994 and October 18, 1994, and
at a field trip visit on October 6, 1994.
Section 4. The Planning Commission 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)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a Pool House (Cabana) or detached recreation room with a
Conditional Use Permit under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting to
construct a 222 square foot addition to an existing 577 square foot pool house, for a
total of 799 square feet. 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 pool 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 pool
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 an addition to the pool
house will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the existing structure used as a pool house is at a

lower level than the residential building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that the pool 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 pool house will comply with the
low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a
2.016 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 799 square foot size of the pool house is
less than the 800 square foot maximum permitted for similar accessory buildings
and the pool house does not encroach into any setback areas.
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 the addition to the pool house will be on the existing pool
deck.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an addition to an
existing pool house in accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in
Zoning Case No. 519 subject to the conditions contained in Section 7.
Section 7. The Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an addition to
a pool house approved in Section 6 as indicated on the Development Plan attached
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, is subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within one year
from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.42.070(A).
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use Permit
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.
RESOLUTION NO. 94-25
PAGE 3
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 sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be
provided within the pool house or detached recreation room.
F. No vehicular access or paved parking area shall be developed within 50
feet of the pool house.
G. The basement door of the residence shall be solid (without windows),
shall be installed within three months of the approval of this Resolution, and shall
be subject to City staff approval.
H. Renting of the pool house is prohibited.
I. 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 Planning Commission 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.
J. 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.
K. The pool house shall not exceed 799 square feet. The pool house
building pad coverage shall not exceed 21%.
L. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions
of this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review, pursuant to Section 17.42.060,
or the approval shall not be effective.
M. Any modifications to the property which would constitute additional
development shall require the filing of an application for Site Plan Review approval
by the Planning Commission.
N. All conditions of this Conditional Use Permit approval must be
complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County
of Los Angeles.
