RESOLUTION NO. 94-25 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 RESOLUTION NO. 94-25 PAGE 2 • • 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.

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.
