At its March 27 meeting, the Beverly Hills Planning Commission directed city staff to draft an ordinance that would allow developers of Builder’s Remedy projects to bypass the city’s discretionary review process in exchange for adhering to certain standards set by the city.
Commissioners agreed that the plan, known as the ministerial permit process, is a mutually beneficial one. Developers will be able to move their projects along faster, and city officials will have more say in the projects, some of which exceed the city’s existing development standards, such as height limitations.
