The Beverly Hills Planning Commission considered the city’s Housing Element and the controversial Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) at its March 11 meeting. The Commission heard the results of a failed attempt to appeal the city’s RHNA allocation, the number of units needed in the city over an eight-year time period.
The Commission also discussed a possible ordinance to enable greater construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) in order to meet the city’s RHNA requirements. The hearing comes as the Commission draws closer to presenting a Draft Housing Element, which it estimates will take place in April or May of this year.
