With a temporary affordable housing ordinance fast approaching its expiration date, the Beverly Hills City Council approved a permanent ordinance Oct. 12 in a 4-to-1 vote. The law, known as an Inclusionary Housing ordinance, requires large development projects in the city to include 10% of its units as affordable housing.
The new permanent law is a slightly modified version of the temporary inclusionary housing ordinance which was approved in 2019 and is set to expire Dec. 16 this year. The permanent law was approved in part to comply with California State requirements set by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).
