ZONING CASE NO. 363
FINDINGS AND REPORT
The application of Mr. & Mrs. David Pasant, Lot 100-3-RH,
Rolling Hills Tract, for a Conditional Use Permit under Section
17.32.012 of the City of Rolling Hills Municipal Code, came for
hearing on the 19th day of July, 1988 and the 30th day of August,
1988, in the Council Chambers of the Administration Building,
#2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, California. The Planning
Commission, after being appropriately advised by staff and hearing
public testimony; now makes its Findings and Report as required by
the Municipal Code of the City of Rolling Hills, California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicants, Mr. & Mrs. David
Pasant, are the owners of that certain real property described as
Lot 100-B-RH, located at #15 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road in the City
of
Rolling Hills, and that notice of the public hearing in connection
with said application was given as required by Section 17.32.080 of
the Municipal Code of the City of Rolling Hills, California. The
Commission finds, further, that no comment, written or verbal, was
received in opposition to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that the applicants have requested a
Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 17.16.012 (G), (recrea-
tion room), and Section 17.16.012(H) (horseback riding ring). The
Commission finds that the construction of a recreation room to be
used as an observatory and a horseback riding ring are conditionally
permitted and compatible with existing codes, statutes, and
ordinances. However, the Commission finds the final square footage of
the
proposed building and architecture style are subject to final
approval by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural
Committee. The Commission finds that the construction of an
observatory/recreation room and a horseback riding ring,
per site plan (exhibit A), are, prima facie, compatible with
topographical, geological and environmental conditions inherent on
the subject lot. Further, however, the Commission finds that upon
more extensive investigation and evaluation that if the
topographical, geological and environmental conditions are found
to not be compatible with the construction of an
observatory/recreation room or a horseback riding ring, that
the Conditional Use Permit be rescinded. The Commission finds that
the granting of such conditional use permit would not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, nor injurious
to property in the same vicinity and zone.
From the foregoing, it is concluded that a Conditional Use
Permit should be granted to Mr. & Mrs. David Pasant, Lot 100-B-RH,
15 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road, under Section 17.32.040 of the City
Rolling Hills Municipal Code for an observatory/recreation room per
Section 17.16.012 (G) and a horseback riding ring per Section
17.16.012 (H).
1. This Conditional Use Permit shall not be effective for
any purpose until the owner of the property involved, or his
duly authorized representative, has filed with the City Clerk of
the City of Rolling Hills an affidavit stating that he is aware
of and agrees to comply with all the conditions of the Permit.
2. It is declared to be the intent of the Planning Commission
that if any provision of the Permit is held or declared to be
invalid, the Permit shall be void and the privileges granted
thereunder shall lapse.
3. It is declared and made a condition of the Permit that if
any conditions thereof are violated, or if any law, statute or
ordinance is 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.
4. All requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and of the
zone in which the subject property is located must be complied
with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown
otherwise on an approved plan.
5. The property shall be developed and maintained in
substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked
Exhibit "A", except as otherwise provided in these conditions.
6. Use of the recreation room is limited to purpose indicated
which is to be for use as an observatory.
7. Landscaping, irrigation plans and bonding are
required of the applicant, and must be approved by the Planning
Commission and be bonded at estimated cost of landscaping, plus 15%.
8. Prior to issuance of building permits and grading permits,
complete geological soils and hydrological testing must be
accomplished to determine the compatibility of construction with the
topography, geology and environmental issues related to the site.
9. Renting of recreation room is prohibited.
10. This Conditional Use Permit shall expire unless used
within one year from the date of grant, pursuant to Section
17.32.110.
11. This Conditional Use Permit shall not be valid or
effective unless the applicant has received final architectural
approval from the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural
Committee.
12. An engineered drain system must be incorporated into the
design ofthe observatory/recreation room and the horseback riding
ring and, be approved by the City engineer.
13. The grading required to construct the
observatory/recreation room and horseback riding ring cannot
exceed that which is indicated on the plan approved as Exhibit A.
