Shout it from the rooftops: rooftop dining is coming to the Business Triangle. Actually, per an interim ordinance unanimously approved by the Beverly Hills City Council on Aug. 17, it’s better to remark quietly from the rooftops, so that the noise is not “noticeably audible” from neighboring properties.
The interim ordinance amends the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to allow “rooftop restaurant and rooftop open air dining uses” in the C-3 Commercial Zone, which encompasses most of the Business Triangle. The city defines the zone’s boundaries as Wilshire Boulevard to the southwest, Santa Monica Boulevard to the northwest, and an alley parallel to Crescent Drive to the northeast. With the passage of the ordinance, restaurants in the Triangle will be able to apply to the Community Development Department for a Rooftop Dining Permit.
