With the Beverly Hills City Planning Commission looking ahead at one of its busiest dockets in years, 2021 promises to leave an indelible mark on the City. Perhaps the most consequential matter facing the City is the certification of its Housing Element, a state-mandated document that identifies and plans for housing needs. Over the course of the next year, the Planning Commission will see the City’s Housing Element through its drafting, public hearings, City approval, and final submittal for certification. This final step will take place in October.
“I think it will be [a big year], especially because you have the culmination of big policy projects, in terms of the housing element and mixed use,” Assistant Director of Community Development Ryan Gohlich told the Courier. “Mixed use is done from a zoning standpoint, but we still have to see what projects result from it.”
