The City of Beverly Hills is under pressure from Sacramento to facilitate a massive amount of new housing development and in its Jan. 23 meeting, the City Council passed a zoning update to move a step closer to that goal.
The Council voted unanimously to change the formula for calculating the maximum number of housing units allowed in certain housing developments in the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. The hope is this change will make it more enticing for developers to convert existing buildings into new housing developments, a process known as adaptive reuse.
