The Beverly Hills City Council unanimously approved an interim ordinance on Dec. 17 to prohibit residential development projects that fail to comply with inclusionary housing requirements. The 45-day urgency ordinance is set to be replaced by a permanent one during that timeframe.
The ordinance comes in tandem with a state-mandated requirement that Beverly Hills must build hundreds of new housing units in the next decade under the State Housing Law. The precise number of units will be determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in 2020.
