The City of Beverly Hills will hold a webinar and workshop on July 31 to discuss changes to the multi-family accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations. Members of the community are urged to share opinions and make suggestions about the proposed changes to standards, including height and floor area. The workshop will take place virtually and those who are interested in participating by giving input or taking part in the discussion can join on Zoom from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. This workshop will follow the in-person workshop that took place at the Beverly Hills City Hall Municipal Gallery on July 8, covering the same information but offering a new opportunity for residents to speak on the matter.
ADUs are defined as attached or detached units that provide complete, independent living facilities for sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation on the same site as a single-family residence or multi-family building. They cannot be sold separately from the main unit on the property but may be rented out for periods of 31 days or more, making them an essential part of the city’s strategy to increase available housing. Each neighborhood has their own guidelines for ADU development regulations, which are summarized in development guides on the city of Beverly Hills website.
As the webinar approaches, residents can fill out a survey that is linked on the same website, which will help City Council and the Planning Commission understand the community’s perspective as they consider changes to ADU regulations.
