WHEREAS, Richard Buchholz has requested a Special Animal Permit to
maintain up to four (4) horses at 27067 Silvermoon Lane (Lot 11, Tract No.
28421) , which is zoned for single family residential (RS-4) and Open Space

II/ WHEREAS, proposed improvements include construction of a corral,
stable, landscaping and other improvements required by this permit; and
WHEREAS, after being appealed by Richard Berg, a public meeting was
held on April 7, 1981, at which time all interested parties were given an
opportunity to be heard and present evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the approval of a Special Animal Permit is consis-
tent with the City's Development Code and General Plan.
Section 2: That the requested animals, at the location proposed,
will not jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or general welfare since physical improvements and main-
tenance conditions are imposed and since said permit can be revoked at any
time if the Director of Planning finds that any conditions of approval have
not been fully met or complied with.
Section 3: That the proposed site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the animals without material detriment to the use, enjoyment,
or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the
site, and the keeping of animals is an appropriate use of the site since
the site is 2.27 acres in size, the corral and stable improvements will be
no closer than 100 feet from the nearest adjacent residence, and since
equestrian trails and/or easements are readily accessible.
Section 4: That there are no requested variances from the terms or
requirements of the Code that would be materially detrimental to the use,
enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity
and will not jeopardize, endanger or otherwise be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or general welfare.
Section 5: That the City Council does hereby declare that a Final
Negative Declaration and Initial Study have been completed in compliance
with City and State guidelines and that the Council has reviewed and con-
sidered the contents of the report in reaching its decision. The City
Council further finds that the approval of Special Animal Permit No. 13
will not have a significant adverse environmental impact because mitigation
measures are required.
Section 6: For the foregoing reasons, the City Council of the City
of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby denies the appeal by Richard Berg, et al, and
grants approval of Special Animal Permit No. 13 subject to the attached con-
ditions marked Exhibit "A", which are necessary to protect the public health,
safety and general welfare in the area.
