The city of Beverly Hills remains at risk of losing local control over zoning as the state, once again, rejected its attempt to comply with Sacramento’s ambitious housing goals.
Beverly Hills is required to demonstrate its ability to make room for 3,104 new units, of which 1,688 must be affordable, by 2029. Its plan to do so, known as a Housing Element, was rejected by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in a Dec. 15 letter.
