New restaurants hoping to open in the City of Beverly Hills should have no reservations about making the deal following this week’s action by the City Council amending the parking requirements for businesses.
The Council voted 5-0 on Tuesday to pass an urgency ordinance that addresses in-lieu parking requirements and parking standards in the City, making it financially more feasible for restaurants to open without being held to overly onerous standards. The biggest change to the 43-year-old ordinance is that the City will now calculate parking requirements for restaurants based on the total square feet of the tenant space, as is done for all other commercial businesses.
