While it is unlikely to happen this year, portions of Beverly Hills have the potential to significantly change as developers begin to avail themselves to the City’s first-ever mixed-use ordinance. That is, if the City Council votes to approve one.
Following the Planning Commission’s unanimous vote on June 19 in support of a draft ordinance to create a mixed-use overlay zone in certain commercially zoned areas of the City, the Council will now consider signing the ordinance into law. The term “mixed use” is most commonly used to refer to a building or development that includes a mix of commercial and residential uses, with housing units generally located on the upper floors of a building.
