The Beverly Hills City Council discussed its initial contributions to the Regional Housing Needs Assessment reform process at the Aug. 2 Study Session. The Council also heard updates to parking meter and garage upgrades during the meeting.
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is a state law that determines the number of housing units a jurisdiction is required to plan for during the next eight years. Currently, Beverly Hills is required to plan for 3,104 units to be constructed in the next eight years. Recently, the Southern California Association of Governments reported that multiple concerns were raised regarding RHNA and, in an effort to reform the process, are accepting comments and ideas from jurisdictions such as Beverly Hills.
