The Beverly Hills City Council considered the proposed mixed use ordinance at its Regular Meeting of Oct. 13. The ordinance would create a new overlay zone for developments and buildings that include both residential and commercial space. The proposal comes at a time when the City faces pressure by Sacramento to greatly increase its housing stock.
The City first discussed mixed use in 2010, the last time the City’s General Plan was updated. In 2018, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to study mixed use zoning, with the plans developing in committee meetings and hearings over roughly the next two years.
