RECOMMENDATION
The OpenBH program was started during the Covid-19 Pandemic to temporarily ease the City’s existing regulations related to open air dining on public and private property, in order to respond to the public health emergency and more easily allow open air dining to be established. The OpenBH program is currently scheduled to end in December 2023, but may be extended further by the City Council. The City has undertaken an extensive process to review and revise the City’s existing open air dining regulations to permanently allow for the new types of open air dining established during the temporary OpenBH program (e.g., parklets), and to create an efficient method to help the business community comply with revised open air dining standards and rules. This report consists of four different components:

A) Discussion of the draft open air dining ordinance, which sets forth new open air dining regulations that were developed with the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee;
B) Discussion of the draft parklet guidelines, which create new design standards for parklet dining and were developed with the Design and Operation Subcommittee; C) Discussion of the proposed fee schedule for open air dining, which includes license fees for sidewalk and parklet dining and was developed with the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee; and
D) Discussion of the implementation and approval process for the open air dining program moving forward.

Staff’s recommendations for City Council action related to each of these components are as follows:

A) Pursuant to the Planning Commission’s review and recommendation, staff recommends that the City Council move to waive the full reading of the ordinance and introduce and read by title only the ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE OF

THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL

CODE REGULATIONS RELATED TO OPEN AIR DINING AND FINDING THE

ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)”. The draft ordinance as recommended for approval by the Planning Commission is included in Attachment 1.

B) Recommend that the City Council adopt the Parklet Design Guidelines (Attachment 5), providing a set of minimum standards for, design, construction and maintenance of parklet dining.

C) Recommend that the City Council adopt the fee resolution (Attachment 8) amending the comprehensive schedule of taxes, fees, and charges for fiscal year 2023-24 to include fees associated with the leasing of public right of way for sidewalk dining and parklet dining use.

D) Recommend that the City Council review the proposed implementation procedures and provide direction regarding the compliance deadlines and process for Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

restaurants with open air dining established under the temporary OpenBH program and under the previous set of open air dining regulations.

In addition, staff is looking for City Council direction on the following discussion items.

Further information on these requests is provided within the context of the report.  Whether the Director-level discretionary requests for open air dining (dining on private property and public sidewalks) should include an option for restaurants to extend their dining along an adjacent business façade;
o Similarly, whether parklets should be allowed to extend beyond the adjacent business frontage with the neighboring business’s consent (this is currently allowed per the guidelines);
 Whether any non-dining uses should be allowed in the permanent program, specifically whether queueing for retail security purposes should be allowed;  Confirmation of the proposed 9-month period for the glidepath, during which the approvals under the temporary OpenBH program (both open air dining on the sidewalk and parklet dining) would need to transition to compliance with the permanent regulations;
 Confirmation of the proposed compliance requirement for previously approved open air dining approvals, which would allow restaurants to maintain the legally nonconforming configuration until the restaurant vacates the space or a new restaurant occupies the space; and
 Whether the temporary OpenBH program should be extended past the current expiration date of December 2023, in order to cover the period in which the ordinance will become effective.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order to develop a permanent OpenBH program based on lessons learned from the temporary program that was launched during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the City Council established two City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittees: the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee with Mayor (then-Councilmember) Julian Gold and Vice Mayor (thenCouncilmember) Lester Friedman, and the Design and Operation Subcommittee, with Councilmembers (then-Mayor) Lili Bosse and Sharona Nazarian. The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee focused on the crafting of the permanent regulations and fees that will apply to those businesses participating in the permanent OpenBH program, while the Design and Operation Subcommittee focused on developing standards for parklet design, maintenance and approval.

Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee
The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee met on six occasions (November 29, 2021; January 26, 2022; March 2, 2022; April 4, 2022; May 5, 2022, and March 14, 2023) to review the existing open air dining regulations and determine if changes to code requirements, lease fees, and/or the approval process were necessary or desired. The Subcommittee considered several questions to guide discussions regarding potential changes to the City’s permanent open air dining program. These prior discussions were framed by the following questions:
 What type, how much, and where should outdoor dining be allowed in the city? Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

 What is the appropriate relationship between indoor and outdoor dining?  What are the appropriate sidewalk clearances between outdoor dining and obstructions in the public right-of-way (e.g., parking meters, utility boxes, etc.)?  Is there support for a ministerial or by-right (i.e., non-discretionary) approval process?
 What are the appropriate lease fees for outdoor dining on sidewalks and in parklets?
 Given the limitations on parking requirements per Assembly Bill (AB) 20971, should the City look at regulating patio dining on private property, such as in areas that were previously used for parking?
In general, the consensus reached by the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee was that the development standards for open air dining should be updated to reflect some of the standards that were in effect during the temporary OpenBH program, and that the fees should be similarly updated to facilitate the establishment of open air dining in the City’s commercial areas. In addition, there has been broad support from both City Council and restaurant owners for updating the code requirements and approval process for permanent outdoor dining to create a more streamlined and efficient process.

At the May 16, 2023 City Council study session meeting, staff presented an overview of the consensus reached by the Subcommittee at their last meeting on March 14, 2023, as well as the remaining topics they wished to discuss with the full City Council. The Council provided general support of the proposed changes that were presented and directed staff to move forward with drafting revised regulations. As such, staff has prepared a draft ordinance based on the supported changes to the code requirements from the City Council and Subcommittee for the permanent OpenBH program. A summary of the changes included in the draft ordinance are outlined in the Discussion section of this report.

At their regular meeting of July 13, 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft ordinance and voted 3-1 (Ostroff No) to recommend the draft ordinance to the City Council for approval. Commissioner Ostroff voted no on the recommendation because he requested that staff bring the draft ordinance back at another Planning Commission meeting for further review. The Planning Commission recommended changes to the draft ordinance language, including the removal of the parking requirements for all open air dining located on private property, and to add a threshold that would require discretionary review for open air dining areas located closer than a certain distance from residentially zoned properties. In addition, the Planning Commission directed staff to create a guideline for aesthetic standards to be used in the City’s existing architectural review process for open air dining permits. Staff has prepared a draft guideline for architectural review of open air dining configurations that may be approved as part of the ministerial review process (Attachment 9). The Commission did not come to a consensus on whether or not to allow a discretionary request for the Director of Community Development to approve the extension of open air dining areas beyond the restaurant’s facade and in front of adjacent tenants’ facades. While some Commissioners felt that this discretionary request

1 AB 2097 prohibits jurisdictions from imposing a minimum parking requirement on development projects located within a half-mile radius of a major transit stop, which is defined as: “(a) An existing rail or bus rapid transit station, (b) A ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or (c) The intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

should not be available as an option for restaurant owners due to the potential complications of the enforcement and the City’s potential role in mediating these issues, other Commissioners felt that this discretionary option should be available to restaurants since it would still require review and approval by the Director. The Commission was split on this issue and decided to forward the draft ordinance with no amendment to this provision, which provides for a discretionary process as written, in order to allow the City Council to make a final decision on this matter.

Design and Operating Standards Subcommittee
The focus of the Design and Operating Standards Subcommittee was to develop design and operational standards for the new open air dining uses allowed under the temporary Open BH program, which were primarily parklet dining uses. A parklet is an open air dining area that is typically located on the public roadway, usually within an area directly adjacent to the sidewalk that would normally accommodate a street parking space. Unlike open air dining located on the sidewalk and on private property, a parklet has an immediate interface with vehicular traffic, therefore, safety is the number one goal of the standards, followed by a desire for upscale aesthetics consistent with the Beverly Hills brand. The Design Guidelines provide standards to allow diners and pedestrians safety and comfort, while striking a balance between the overall aesthetic of the streetscape, the visibility of retail storefronts, and the vibrancy of pedestrian activities. The Design Guidelines will also ensure that measures for vehicular safety are implemented.

The Design and Operating Standards Subcommittee conducted their kickoff meeting on May 25, 2022, discussing project goals and objectives, as well as how to set up a path for developing design standards. Since then, the Subcommittee has conducted six hybrid workshops (in-person with a virtual option) that were held on: June 13, 2022, August 17, 2022, December 12, 2022, February 9, 2023, March 28, 2023, and October 19, 2023. In addition to the above subcommittee meetings at the direction of Council Liaisons, City staff were tasked with additional outreach efforts during this 16-month period. Additional outreach included individual in-person meetings with all restaurants using parklets at such time. Staff met with the 28 restaurants that had parklets existing at such time (there are 21 parklets existing as of publication of this report, see Attachment 4) and reviewed an indepth approach to create parameters for the design standards that address site strategies such as footprint, height, aesthetics and safety. The following outlines emerging themes based on the feedback received from surveys, in-person meetings and workshops:
 Parklets should be regulated by factors like business frontage and vehicular visibility;
 Pedestrian paths should be distinct and unobstructed;  Umbrellas and canopies should provide generous clearance and height;  Greenery improves the streetscape and dining experience, and the use of landscaping should be encouraged;
 Parklet components should meet high design standards;  Design guidelines should prioritize flexibility;
 Safety components should be integrated into design and should be inconspicuous;  Safety features should be available as both a ready-made product or a custom option integral to the design;
 Canopies are essential to diner comfort and a flexible shading system is preferable; and
Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

 Some visibility of storefronts as viewed from the street should be maintained.

Based on the feedback received, draft Parklet Guidelines were prepared and provided to the 28 restaurants with parklets that existed at such time. Stakeholders were also invited to three in-person community meetings focused on reviewing the draft Parklet Guidelines Booklet and various parklet details to help inform the Subcommittee discussion in March 2023. Draft guidelines include a ‘Kit of Parts’ designed by the consulting architect Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA). The ‘Kit of Parts’ is a pre-approved set of parklet elements that would be available for restaurants to purchase. Using the ‘Kit of Parts’ would not be required, but restaurants opting to use the pre-approved ‘Kit of Parts’ would be eligible for a streamlined approval process. ‘Kit of Parts’ design elements were presented and discussed with the stakeholders during multiple workshops.

During the process of developing Parklet Design Standards for outdoor dining, stakeholders have been fully involved and engaged through multiple workshops, surveys and in-person meetings. A sample parklet using the ‘Kit of Parts’ was constructed in September 2023, located at 430 N. Camden Drive. Restaurant stakeholders and the public were invited to view the sample parklet and three on site community meetings were conducted. Public outreach included: posting on social media; emails to restaurant businesses with parklets, and advertisements published in both the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce newsletter and local newspapers. A survey was also provided at the site of the sample parklet and on the project website to seek input on the sample parklet. To date, staff has received 26 responses to the online surveys (Attachment 7). The sample parklet will be in place until the City Council meeting date of December 11, 2023, and the survey portal will also be open until that date. Staff will present any updates regarding the survey results at the City Council meeting.

DISCUSSION
This section provides discussion regarding each of the four component topics (A, B, C, and D as listed in the title of this report) related to the revised permanent open air dining program.

A) Draft Open Air Dining Ordinance
This section provides an overview of the draft ordinance that incorporates the proposed code changes that would primarily update regulations pertaining to the City’s existing open air dining program. The proposed regulations based on the consensus reached by the Subcommittee and as discussed by the City Council at the May 16, 2023 meeting. The City Council concluded that they were generally in support of the proposed regulations as presented. A redline of Article 35 of Title 10, Chapter 3 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code, which currently contains open air dining standards, is included as Attachment 3.

The proposed standards reflect the Subcommittee’s guidance to draft revised open air dining regulations and to create a ministerial review process for certain outdoor dining configurations that meet specific standards. Specifically, the Subcommittee aimed to create standards that would allow for a more streamlined City approval process that provides greater flexibility for businesses while still maintaining the safety and use of the public right-of-way areas by pedestrians.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

Summary of Ordinance Changes
The proposed standards update existing open air dining standards and/or create new ones. Described below is a comparison between the City’s current regulations and the proposed open air dining regulations:

Approval Process for Open Air Dining
 Current regulation (BHMC 10-3-3503): The Director of Community Development currently has the discretionary authority to approve open air dining permits (at the staff-level), unless the open air dining area will be serving more than 12 persons and is located on private property within 170 feet of an R-1 or R-4 zone, in which case the Planning Commission is the reviewing authority; no ministerial process currently exists for open air dining. In addition, if the open air dining permit request is submitted with another discretionary application request that requires Planning Commission or City Council review for the same site, the Planning Commission or City Council reviews the request.
 Proposed regulation: There would be two main paths for an approval of open air dining on private property or the public sidewalk: 1) ministerial review, which is an approval issued through the plan check process similar to a building permit; and 2) discretionary review, which would require the Director of Community Development to review and approve the request (or the Director may refer the request to the Planning Commission for review). This review process would only apply to open air dining located on private property or on the public sidewalk, and would not apply to proposed parklet installations.

1. A. Ministerial Review (BHMC 10-3-3502): The majority of open air dining requests located on the public sidewalk or on private property would likely be approved ministerially (without discretionary review) through the issuance of a permit, which could be issued after a streamlined plan check process to ensure that the open air dining meets the 14 physical development (e.g. location, size of dining area, etc.) and operational (e.g. storage of furniture items, etc.) requirements.

2. B. Discretionary Review (BHMC 10-3-3504): For projects that deviate from the Ministerial Review standards listed above, discretionary review would be required by the Director of Community Development. However, the Director would also retain the authority to refer such reviews to the Planning Commission. Note that these discretionary thresholds would replace the existing threshold of an open air dining configuration that serves more than 12 individuals and is located within 170’ of a residential property. Public notification for the discretionary request would be provided consistent with the City’s public notification standards and guidelines. The development standards from which a project could deviate are as follows:
o Providing a travel path less than six feet (6’) but no less than five feet (5’) due to physical constraints, except in cases where open air dining is located adjacent to a parklet;
o Allowing the combination of open air dining on public and private property to exceed 50% of the gross square footage of the restaurant it serves;
Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

o Allowing open air dining located on private property to be located more than fifty feet (50’) from the front and/or street side property lines or to be located within one hundred feet (100’) of residentially zoned property;
o Allowing areas used for open air dining to extend beyond the façade of the building of the associated restaurant space; and
o Allowing open air dining on streets that are not listed in the ministerial approval section (e.g., Charleville Boulevard, Gregory Way, etc.).

For any open air dining approval, the Director would be able to initiate revocation proceedings, and would maintain the ability to review open air dining installations that are found to be problematic or operating in a manner not consistent with approvals, pursuant to the project’s conditions of approval.

Location of Dining
 Current regulation (BHMC 10-3-100 & 10-3-3502 A.5.): Open air dining must be fully located immediately adjacent to the associated restaurant and may not extend beyond the building frontage.
 Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-3502 A.5.): If open air dining is on private property, it must be located within the first 50’ from the front and/or street side property lines, and may not be located within 100’ of any residentially zoned property; however this would not preclude the use of interior courtyards for dining areas. The intent of this regulation is to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, impacts to adjacent residential properties and to ensure that open air dining is located near or adjacent to the public right-of-way to encourage vibrancy along the street.

Open air dining may be located in the public right-of-way areas directly in front of the restaurant it serves. However, based on the Subcommittee’s recommendation, the open air dining would be able to extend beyond the facade of the restaurant that it serves, if approved by the Director through a discretionary process. The restaurant owner would be required to show proof of written permission from both the property owner and the tenant of the affected adjacent tenant space in order to expand dining in front of adjacent tenant spaces. If the permission is revoked by either the affected property owner or tenant for any reason, the restaurant owner would be required to remove the open air dining from this area within 60 days and notify the City in order to amend their approval documents, which at minimum would include architectural plans and the encroachment agreement, to reflect the change. Any open air dining elements (e.g., tables/chairs, railing, landscaping, etc.) installed around open air dining located beyond the façade of the restaurant would be required to be movable and not affixed to the sidewalk. Staff has provided further information and discussion related to this topic in the Considerations section below.

Parking
 Current regulation (BHMC 10-3-2730 B.7, 8.): No parking is required for open air dining located on public property and on privately owned portions of the Robertson Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

Boulevard sidewalk. For open air dining located on private property, the parking requirement is the same as that for dining on the interior of restaurants.  Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-2730 B.7, 8.): No parking is required for open air dining located on public property, on privately owned portions of the Robertson Boulevard sidewalk, or on private property2.

Path of Travel
 Current regulation (BHMC 10-3-3502 A.1.): A minimum five-foot (5’) wide path of travel must be maintained at all times, and all open air dining areas shall be set back at least five feet from the edge of the curb and any fixed obstruction (e.g. parking meters, street trees, etc.)
 Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-3502 A.1.): A minimum six-foot (6’) path of travel on sidewalk for pedestrians must be maintained at all times. If an applicant can only provide a five-foot (5’) path of travel, they may apply for the discretionary open air dining permit that may be approved by the Director or referred to the Planning Commission. However, if there is open air dining is located directly adjacent to a parklet, then the option to request a discretionary open air dining permit to reduce the path of travel from six feet (6’) to five feet (5’) is not available.

Umbrella and Barrier Standards
 Current regulation (BHMC 10-3-3502 A.2.): Umbrellas must have a minimum of seven-foot clearance from the lowest point of the umbrella to the ground, and shall be located completely within the open air dining areas. If alcohol is served in the open air dining area, a barrier to enclose the area is required (per Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requirements).
 Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-3502 A.4 & 7.): Umbrellas must maintain a seven and one-half foot (7.5’) clearance, if within the open air dining area, and must be integrated into railings and barriers, if they are proposed. If no railings or barriers are proposed, a freestanding umbrella may be permitted, and must maintain the seven and one-half foot (7.5’) clearance, must be integrated into dining furniture, and no part of the umbrella that would obstruct the pedestrian path of travel may extend beyond the open air dining area boundaries. Barriers would be required for open air dining installations serving more than eight persons. For any open air dining area that does not provide a barrier, the chairs may not be positioned so that they are facing the façade of the building in order to prevent chairs from being pushed back into the pedestrian pathway. While the Planning Commission previously reviewed and recommended a draft ordinance that included an eight-foot (8’) umbrella clearance requirement, staff recommends that this requirement is changed to a seven and one-half foot (7.5’) clearance due to the difficulty of obtaining and maintaining an umbrella that provides an eight foot (8’) clearance. It does not appear that umbrellas of this height are readily available on the market, and there are additional safety concerns related to umbrellas at this height due to wind force and load.

2 It should also be noted that recent changes in state law (AB 2097) prohibits local agencies from imposing or enforcing parking requirements for properties that are located within ½ mile of a major transit stop, and this standard would apply to a majority of commercial properties in the city.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

Amount of Open Air Dining
 Current regulation: There is currently no regulation that limits the amount of open air dining that a restaurant may have.
 Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-3502 A.2.): For a ministerial approval, the combined amount of open air dining on public and private property would be limited to a maximum of 50% of the interior gross square footage of the restaurant it serves. This limit would not include any dining located within a parklet. A restaurant seeking an open air dining configuration that exceeds this size limit may request discretionary review of their project.

Renewal of Permit
 Current regulation (BHMC 10-3-3501 D.): Open air dining permits are valid for a period of five years and may be renewed for one additional five-year period on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the original approval.  Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-3501 D.): Open air dining permits will be required to be renewed every five years after the initial permit issuance, with no limit on the number of times a permit may be renewed. Maintaining the renewal requirement would allow the City to periodically review the permit, the operation of the dining space, and the regulations to see if any regulations have changed in a way that would impact the open air dining.

Parklets in the Public Right-of-Way
 Current regulation: The BHMC currently does not include regulations pertaining to parklets.
 Proposed regulation (BHMC 10-3-100, 10-3-3503): A definition for parklet would be added into the definitions section of the zoning code. This regulation would allow parklets located in the public right-of-way to be approved ministerially, upon meeting the standards outlined in the Parklet Design Guidelines.
o Parklets that propose deviations from the Parklet Design Guidelines would be subject to discretionary review and approval from the Director of Public Works.
o For parklets that deviate from the Parklet Design Guidelines with regard to building materials and finishes, aesthetics and signage, the Director of Public Works may refer this review to the Community Development Department to comply with the architectural review process.

Considerations
In general, the intent of the Subcommittee’s recommended changes to the existing open air dining regulations was to facilitate the establishment of open air dining in several ways.

The primary change would be to update the existing open air dining regulations to allow certain open air dining proposals to be approved ministerially (through the issuance of a permit rather than a discretionary approval), and to allow Director-level discretionary review of the majority of other open air dining requests. This change would reduce the time and costs associated with the open air dining approval process, which currently Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

requires discretionary review by either the Director of Community Development or the Planning Commission. In order to allow certain open air dining applications to be approved ministerially, additional and more specific standards for open air dining were created and only projects that deviate from those specific standards would require discretionary review.

However, the code changes will allow for the Director to require review by the Planning Commission, and for the Director to review any open air dining installations that are found to be operating in a manner that is not consistent with approvals.

Given the intent of the Subcommittee to ease the open air dining process for businesses wishing to establish or maintain open air dining, staff has a few topics for consideration by the City Council. For certain topics, this section also includes a summary of the Planning Commission’s discussion during their review:

Open Air Dining Area
The Subcommittee expressed a desire to allow restaurants to extend their open air dining area beyond the façade of the restaurant with which the open air dining is associated.

Currently, the code only allows open air dining to be located directly adjacent to the building frontage of the restaurant it serves; however, there are some existing parklets or sidewalk open air dining areas that extend beyond a restaurant’s storefront, as they were permitted under the temporary OpenBH program. Based on staff’s implementation experience, staff would recommend the Council consider modifying the attached ordinance to not allow this type of configuration. Allowing open air dining areas to extend beyond a tenant space could add to the complexity of navigating property use rights between both neighboring tenants and to tenant-property owner relationships. This also increases the potential for issues to arise when ownership of a restaurant or to a neighboring tenant changes.

For example, if this type of configuration were to be permitted, and a restaurant owner obtained permission from the neighboring property owner and tenant to extend their open air dining and parklet in front of the adjacent tenant’s façade, they would be permitted to construct fixtures in the public right-of-way such as a parklet and railing for the open air dining that extends across the façade of multiple tenant spaces. However, if the adjacent tenant were to move out and be replaced with a new tenant that did not wish to allow this configuration, the restaurant owner would then need to remove these fixtures, which could incur high costs, especially if they would need to reconstruct a parklet and obtain new permits (with additional permit fees) for such fixtures again. Additionally, the restaurant would need to submit revised plans for the reduced open air dining area, which is an additional incurred cost. Furthermore, the operation of a restaurant use immediately adjacent to a non-restaurant use (such as a clothing store or pharmacy) could result in adverse impacts to the tenants and patrons of the adjacent business, including but not limited to a loss of privacy, an increase in noise levels and odors, an increase in trash or debris, and visual impacts that may become detrimental to their business operations.

These visual impacts could include the loss of an ability for a tenant to display their goods or for the public to view the store, which could result in a loss of patronage of the business.

Additionally, this type of program may put the City in a position of mediating issues between adjacent tenants and property owners, which could become a strain on the City’s staff resources. This could also present issues if staff would need to determine responsibility for an accident or damage within the extended portion of open air dining.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

At their July 13, 2023 meeting the Planning Commission was split 2-2 on this issue, with two Commissioners in favor of keeping this provision in the draft ordinance, and two Commissioners against allowing this as a discretionary request. The Commissioners in favor of keeping this provision generally expressed their support for open air dining in the city, and felt that this could largely be resolved between the parties involved (e.g., the landlords and tenants). The Commissioners against keeping this provision had concerns that allowing this configuration could create adverse impacts to the public right-of-way and pedestrian atmosphere, and could also be difficult to implement because it may place the City as a mediator between the parties if there is any disagreement. The Commissioners were not able to reach a consensus on this issue, and decided to forward the draft ordinance for approval of the City Council as written (which includes the provision to allow the extension request), with direction to staff that the Planning Commission’s discussion of the issue be provided to the City Council.

Architectural Review of Open Air Dining
Currently, the existing open air dining regulations require that any materials and design of the open air dining elements (e.g., tables, chairs, umbrellas, heaters, etc.) must receive review and approval through the City’s architectural review process, which may consist of a staff-level review, restaurant subcommittee review, or full Architectural Commission review. This review process results in additional time and fees for an open air dining permit. After discussing this topic, the Planning Commission recommended that the existing architectural review process remain as-is, and that staff create a guideline document for use by open air dining applicants that will help provide certainty regarding what types of furniture and materials will be accepted by the City’s Urban Design team to facilitate a staff-level review of ministerial open air dining projects without the need to forward ministerial projects to the restaurant subcommittee or Architectural Commission.

The draft guidelines for Architectural Review of ministerial open air dining projects has been prepared by staff for review and presentation to the City Council, included as Attachment 9.

Railings/Barriers for Open Air Dining
In their discussions, the Subcommittee wished to require railings and barriers for any open air dining proposal. However, staff had concerns that a railing or barrier may be an unnecessary cost and requirement for a smaller open air dining configuration, since this would mean that a railing or barrier would be needed for even one table and two chairs.

Instead, staff has modified this requirement in the draft ordinance to require that any open air dining configuration with more than eight chairs must provide a permanent barrier or railing, which is generally consistent with current program implementation. For open air dining areas with less than eight chairs, the chairs may not face the building façade. The reason for this requirement related to chair positioning is that staff has received complaints when chairs are pushed backwards into the public right-of-way when a person is seated perpendicular to the building façade, which often results in the chairs encroaching onto the pathway of travel on the sidewalk. The requirement for a specific orientation of the chairs would allow the enforcement of this configuration that will prevent and mitigate conflicts between the pedestrian pathway and open air dining area. The Planning Commission discussed this topic and were in agreement with the proposed regulations contained in the draft ordinance.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

Parking Requirements
Due to recent changes in state law (AB 2097), the City is no longer able to impose or enforce a minimum parking requirement on a development project if the project is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. The Planning Commission discussed this topic and agreed that restaurants should be treated equally and no additional parking should be required for open air dining located on private property. The draft ordinance has been updated to reflect this change, and as currently written, no parking is required for open air dining located on private property in any area of the City regardless of proximity to a major transit stop. Under current regulations, open air dining areas located on the sidewalk do not have a parking requirement and the proposed ordinance does not have a parking requirement.

Non-Dining Uses
The temporary Open BH program also allowed the use of the public right-of-way for nondining uses, including temporary setups of outdoor hair salons, use of parking lots for religious congregation assembly, and queuing on the sidewalks for entrance into retail stores. The question of whether non-dining uses should be included in the permanent open air dining program was posed to the City Council during their May 16, 2023 study session. The City Council did not direct staff to include these types of uses in the permanent Open BH regulation update to the code during their discussion at the May 2023 meeting. The Planning Commission briefly discussed this topic, and agreed that while some non-dining uses should not be permitted further into the future, one Commissioner thought that retail store queuing on sidewalks should be permitted because this practice can be used for security purposes. Two other Commissioners stated that they supported limiting the use of open air dining or encroachment permits to dining uses only, and not allowing the use of public right-of-way area by other types of businesses such as retailers.

Staff requests that the City Council discuss whether they would like to include the retail store queuing use as a specific type of non-dining use that should be allowed under the permanent program. If the Council would like to permit sidewalk queuing for retail stores as an allowed use, it is recommended that Council direct staff to prepare a separate Zone Text Amendment at a future date to allow sidewalk queuing authorizations.

Location of Open Air Dining
The version of the draft ordinance initially reviewed by the Planning Commission required that open air dining areas subject to ministerial approval be located within the first 50’ from the front and/or street side property line(s), and not located toward the rear of the building, but that this restriction should not preclude the use of an interior courtyard for dining.

However, the Planning Commission recommended that the ordinance include another distance threshold for ministerial approvals to deter the location of open air dining at the rear of properties that are adjacent to residentially zoned properties (or only separated by an alley). The Commission directed staff to create a threshold based on typical lot depths in the City where commercial areas are adjacent to residential zones. Staff has researched the lot depths of commercial areas that are adjacent to residential zones, and recommends that a threshold of 100’ would be adequate, since such lots are approximately 120’-160’ deep, depending on the street, and may have a 15’-wide alley between the commercial property and the residential property. This means that the open air dining could feasibly be located in an open space area on the property, but would not be able to be located within 100’ of a residentially zoned parcel. The draft ordinance is now updated to require that open air dining on private property must be located within the Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

first 50’ of the front and/or street side property lines, and shall not be located within 100’ of a residentially zoned parcel, but shall not preclude the use of an interior building courtyard as defined in the BHMC. The discretionary request section has also been updated to allow a request to locate open air dining outside of these limited areas in case there are site constraints that would make compliance with this requirement infeasible.

These changes to the draft ordinance are consistent with the Planning Commission’s recommendations.

B) Parklet Design Guidelines
This section provides a brief overview of the content of the Parklet Design Guidelines. The draft Parklet Design Guidelines are organized by topics and are intended to guide the design and construction of parklets by restaurants. Each topic provides a diagram and design standards section that lists the requirement for that item. The Kit-of-Parts approach is optional and has been designed in full compliance with the guidelines, and it has been previously vetted with all city departments. As such, a parklet design that adheres to the Kit-of-Parts will be able to be approved through a more streamlined process. Within most topics, a Kit-of-Parts design has been provided and is clearly identified in the Parklet Design Guidelines document. If the Kit-of-Parts is not used, then a restaurant may either comply with the Parklet Design Guidelines, or they may request a discretionary review if they would like to deviate from the Parklet Design Guidelines.

The Parklet Design Guidelines document has been divided into three steps. These steps walk through the requirements and approval process for parklet development from concept to fabrication. The three distinct parts of the guidelines are as follows:

Step 1: Preparing a Site
 Site Requirements
o This section outlines the restrictions on parklet locations within the City of Beverly Hills. Parklets may be located adjacent to select commercially zoned properties, on streets with a maximum speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph). These restrictions and others have been established to ensure a safe streetscape for pedestrians, vehicles, and diners. Other requirements include distances from crosswalks, fire hydrants, and stormdrains.
 Parklet Envelope
o This section outlines the allowable envelope parameters for each parklet.

Parklet envelope standards intend to ensure for the fair shared use of the public right-of-way. The parklet footprint maximizes the potential area for outdoor dining while maintaining both a clear pedestrian right-of-way and access for emergency responses.
 Utility Requirements
o This section refers to the addition, modification, and delineation of utilities impacted by each parklet. Appropriate care for utilities in the public rightof-way ensures that each parklet does not create any negative impact on safety and/or City operations.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

Step 2: Designing a Parklet
These sections provide guidelines for designing all components of a parklet, including the following categories:
 2.1 Frame
 2.2 Flooring
 2.3 Barrier
 2.4 Furniture
 2.5 Landscape
 2.6 Screen
 2.7 Canopy
 2.8 Branding Signage
 2.9 Lighting Devices
 2.10 Heating & Cooling Devices
Step 3: Implementation & Operation
 3.1 Permitting Process
o This section outlines various options for application and design package submittals plus estimated approval timelines as per the following:
 Ministerial Review, Kit-of-Parts
 Ministerial Review, Custom Design conforming to the Guidelines  Discretionary Review, Minor deviations from the Guidelines - Subject to PW Director Approval
 Discretionary Review, non-conforming - Subject to Architectural Review and CDD Director Approval. Refer to Attachment 6 for design guidelines approval process flow chart.
 3.2 Operations & Maintenance
o This section includes requirements related to fire safety, signage, general maintenance requirements, upkeep, and a maintenance agreement that will be required of each restaurant.
 3.3 Installation and Removal
o This section includes a list of required permits for installation and removal as well as grounds for the suspension and revocation of permits.

The guidelines include a checklist for each step plus an example of a submittal package including drawings and details. Furthermore, the ‘Kit-of-parts’ includes shop-drawings and product specifications that have been reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department. The pre-approved designs will be available to businesses who choose to use the pre-approved design for developing their parklets. It is noteworthy to mention that the installation of the sample parklet took three days of on-site work, however, the production of the barriers proved to be the longest lead item and took approximately Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

eight weeks to fabricate. As a result, ample time shall be allowed within project schedule for fabrication due to long lead times.

C) Open Air Dining Fees
The new proposed fee system provides a tiered fee structure for open air dining located on the public sidewalk and dining located in a parklet on the street. The tiered fee structure was developed by assessing on which streets the majority of open-air dining is concentrated, and the associated city maintenance services that would be required as part of the implementation of the new open air dining regulations. This means that restaurants located on a street that has a higher concentration of restaurants with open air dining and would require a higher demand of City maintenance services would be assessed a slightly higher license fee, while streets with lower concentration of open-air dining would require less demand for City services would be assessed slightly lower sidewalk dining and parklet dining license fees.

The currently proposed tiered fee schedule for sidewalk dining and parklet dining license fees received positive support from the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee and the full City Council at the May 16, 2023 City Council meeting This tiered system noted in Table 1 below was established by taking into consideration current general lease rates for tenant spaces on streets in the City, as well as the concentration and the successful use and operation of open-air dining within the public right-of-way Additionally, staff solicited feedback from neighboring cities (Santa Monica and West Hollywood) regarding their open air dining fee structure as part of the background and research that was done for this program. The feedback was that neighboring cities collect $1 and $2 per square foot, per month for open air dining within the public right-of-way. Taking this into consideration, staff developed the following tiered system, with license fees that are more similar to current sidewalk dining license pricing (between $1.20 and $1.75 per square foot per month for dining on the public right-of-way). It should be noted that there are no license fees in existence for parklet dining in the city and the existing license fees for open air dining on public property were waived for the temporary OpenBH program.

Existing Open Air Dining License Fees
The City has existing open air dining license fees that were charged to applicants for an outdoor dining permit. These fees are charged on a square footage basis. However, the current regulations are not based on the location of a restaurant, with the existing license fee remaining consistent throughout all locations of the city. Currently, all projects utilizing the public right-of-way are required to pay a sidewalk license fee of $1.75 per square foot per month if the installation has a railing/barrier and $1.20 per square foot per month if the installation has no railing/barrier.

At the May 16, 2023 City Council meeting, staff provided an update from the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee’s progress and recommendations. Staff recommended that the fee for open air dining with or without a barrier be the same. This would simplify the fee structure and would facilitate the integration of barriers to those settings that could benefit from them. The City Council agreed with this recommendation and fee structure, and as such, all applications for the open air dining program will be assessed a license fee based on location of the business for sidewalk dining and parklet dining, regardless of whether the installation has railing/barrier or not.

Overview of Required Fees for Permanent Open Air Dining It is important to note that a majority of the fees outlined in the following sections are existing fees that were charged to restaurants for the permanent open air dining configurations prior to the establishment of the temporary OpenBH program, which provided a waiver of most fees during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the proposed modifications to the review process and sidewalk dining license fees, many restaurant owners may actually see a reduction in the total fee cost necessary for the establishment of permanent open air dining on a sidewalk when compared with pre-pandemic conditions.

Staff has developed criteria for a ministerial (by-right) process for open air dining configurations that meet certain standards, which would include reduction in the sidewalk dining license fees (based in the tier program) and a streamlined process that would facilitate a shorter review period.

A ministerial process for permanent open-air dining on a sidewalk does not currently exist, and all open air dining configurations established prior to OpenBH had to go through a discretionary process, which resulted in higher application fees, a longer review period, public noticing requirements, adding to the tenant improvement overall cost, and, for certain projects, it required a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The proposed fees in addition to the already existing open-air dining fees reflect the City’s approach of full cost recovery, which includes staff’s time during the review process, as well as maintenance of streets and sidewalks for areas of the city that experience higher user demand with outdoor dining activities; a full cost recovery approach ensures that the City’s general fund is not used for these purposes.

The existing fees were waived as a temporary measure as part of the OpenBH program in consideration of restaurants that were forced to significantly modify their business models, including reduced customer capacity and indoor operations, as a result of the various stay-at-home orders issued during the Covid-19 pandemic. Standard plan review requirements and processes were also modified in order to facilitate a shortened review period for temporary structures for OpenBH program participants. Moving forward, however, once the new open air dining code regulations are effective, all existing Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

restaurants under the temporary OpenBH program will need to transition to the new permanent and ongoing regulations. The implementation of the proposed guidelines and proposed fee schedule will ensure a fair fee assessment.

Table 2 below provides an outline of the existing fees that an applicant would be expected to pay if the application configuration included both open air dining on the sidewalk and in a parklet. It should be noted that, in addition to the fees in Table 2, if an open-air dining application requires a building permit (e.g., tenant improvement for proposed restaurant), the City’s standard building permit fees will be assessed. Building permit fees are calculated based on project valuation and are generally 10% of a project’s valuation.

Additionally, the Open-Air Dining Permit application fees currently in the City’s fee schedule are only for discretionary review, which will likely not be required for a majority of new open air dining configurations that meet the proposed by-right standards.

D) Implementation of New Open Air Dining Program
Program Implementation
Since late 2021 when the two City Council subcommittees were established, staff has been working on implementation measures that would allow a smooth transition process from the temporary Open BH program to a permanent approval process consistent with the proposed new open air dining regulations for the City. To prepare for the adoption of the new permanent program, a new team of staff members has been allocated to provide phone service, case management, public outreach, in person over the counter consultation and guidance, entitlement case processing, online plan check review, and enforcement of the adopted permanent regulations. The following sections of the report describe the new open air dining application and process that will be implemented. The goal is to help restaurant owners save time by making the entire application filing an online process, thus eliminating the need to come into City Hall. This report will also outline the anticipated timelines expected for application processing, provide information on the “glidepath” for transitioning the temporary approved open air dining permits to this new permanent open air dining program, which would include a compliance grace period for all existing restaurant owners.

New Online Application
Staff has developed a new Open Air Dining application that will be launched as part of the new open air dining process. The application will be accessible via the City’s webpage, and applicants will be able to fill in the application and submit all the required documents Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

and exhibits online. The applications will be reviewed by staff and will be routed to staff in various Departments who will be reviewing and providing feedback as part of the permitting process (Planning Division, Building and Safety Division, Public Works Department, Fire Department). It is anticipated that the new online service, as compared to the current process that does not provide an option for online application submittal, will help applicants save time by eliminating the need to make an appointment and visit City Hall to submit an application. Applicants will be able to start the online application process by simply logging into the Open Air Dining City webpage www.beverlyhills.org/OpenBH and completing the application. All applications will require the following basic information:

1. Name of owner, applicant, expeditor, lobbyist, and Architect.

2. Project site address

3. Project description (size, number of tables and chairs, number of umbrellas, number of heaters, and if there’s a rail provided)

4. Does the application include a parklet?

5. Property owner authorization

6. Certificate of insurance

7. Architectural drawings depicting all existing and proposed improvements (site plan, floorplan, site sections, building elevations, color rendering, cut sheet specification of all proposed furniture).

8. Pictures
Staff will be available by email, phone or in person to assist applicants in completing the application form. Once an application is submitted and deemed complete, the applications and all required information will be reviewed and processed in an expedited manner by staff who are specifically assigned to this task. Another streamlining measure that will be implemented is the ability to make payment for all application costs and fees online, thereby eliminating a trip into City Hall.

Timeline for Application Processing
Staff anticipates the following processing timelines for the various iterations of open air dining approvals that could be requested. It should be noted that these timelines will be applied once the applicant has successfully filed the required application materials.

TABLE 4. ESTIMATED OPEN AIR DINING APPLICATION PROCESSING

Custom Parklet Dining Discretionary
Review – Director Level 4 to 6 weeks Did not exist
Table 4 above clearly demonstrates that based on the streamlining measures that will be implemented as well as staffing that will be specifically allocated, the processing of Open Air Dining approvals under the proposed new regulations will be expedited. The resources specifically assigned to the program and the online nature of the application process will provide for timely application processing, which will help businesses in the city save on time and cost. For comparison, prior to COVID, plans for open air dining would go through building plan check review (after the Planning discretionary approval was received) would typically take 2 to 3 weeks of review for each round, and each application would typically take two rounds of review, for a total estimated 8 weeks.

Glidepath from Temporary Approvals to Permanent Approvals All existing businesses with open air dining permits that were permitted under the temporary OpenBH program, inclusive of both open air dining and parklet dining, will have the opportunity to apply (using the new online application) for a new open air dining permit once the new regulations have been approved by the City Council. It is suggested that a 9-month glidepath period be granted to all existing open air dining operators in order to complete the transition to an authorized permanent installation. The suggested time period for to glidepath is nine months because this would provide sufficient time for operators to prepare an application, complete the City approval process and install the permanent open air dining installation. The length of the recommended glidepath period is intended to provide all temporary OpenBH participants, including those who will seek discretionary approval of a permanent configuration, enough time to obtain approval and install the permanent open air dining area. The length of the recommended glidepath is based on the following assumptions regarding a more complex discretionary open air dining approval:
 Staff anticipates that within the first two months applications for permanent open air dining approvals will be filed. Depending on the type of application, the review and approval time could be as low as one week or a lengthier three to four months if Commission review is required.
 Once an open air dining area is approved, the following construction lead times can be expected:
o Parklets – six to eight weeks to obtain all components from supplier for the construction of the parklet. Field construction will take two to three days.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

o Open air dining on sidewalk (immediately outside storefront) - Could take two days up to one week if railing is proposed.
o Custom designed open air dining – The expected time for these types of applications could be two to three weeks.

At the end of the nine-month grace period, any owners of all the open air dining improvements that have not come into compliance with the permanent regulations will be given a final 30-day notice to comply and remove all improvements that are not in compliance. Failure to comply after the final 30-day notice will be result in code enforcement processing until compliance is achieved. The proposed glidepath period offers sufficient time for business owners to explore their options, however, the time periods can be adjusted pending on City Council feedback.

Enforcement Operations
It is anticipated that by the third quarter of 2024, the new open air dining program will be in full operation and the team dedicated to the processing and enforcement would start field inspections to evaluate the development and implementation of the new program regulations. Community Preservation staff will be conducting field inspections every 6 months and/or as needed pending unique case processing. It is also anticipated that the field inspections will generate potential notices of violation to those businesses that are operating outside the parameters of the approved program and/or are in violation of the approved plans. Business owners will be given a 15-day notice to comply however, if the violations persist, further enforcement action would be taken.

Transitional Period
The temporary OpenBH Program is currently set to expire on December 31, 2023. If approved for adoption at this meeting, the ordinance would be scheduled for second reading at the first January City Council meeting, and would become effective 31 days after the second reading date. This means that there is an approximate six-week gap between the end of the temporary OpenBH program and the effective date of the draft ordinance. The Council may wish to extend the temporary OpenBH program until February 14, 2024 to cover this gap in time.

Existing Approved Open Air Dining Configurations
There are restaurants that already have a permanent Open Air Dining Permit that was previously issued. These configurations will become legally nonconforming once the new standards are updated. For example, a restaurant may only be providing a 5’-0” pedestrian pathway on the public right-of-way or the open air dining area may exceed 50% of the interior restaurant space. Staff is looking for guidance from the Council on how such configurations should be handled and would recommend that the City Council consider the following options:

1. Allow the restaurants to maintain the legally nonconforming configuration until the restaurant vacates the space or a new restaurant occupies the space; or

2. Allow the restaurants to maintain the legally nonconforming configuration until their current encroachment agreement expires, at which point they would need to submit a new permit application for a code-compliance configuration.

Staff has updated the draft ordinance to include the recommended language for the compliance timeline, which would be to utilize option 1 from the list above and allow Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

restaurants to maintain legally nonconforming configurations throughout their tenancy, but require compliance once a new tenant occupies the space.

Additionally, staff would like to recommend that the permanent program regulating this type of use in the City be referred to as “Open Air Dining”, which is the name that previously existed for many years before the temporary OpenBH program existed. As such, staff would also recommend that the City sunset the “OpenBH” program name along with the adoption of the permanent program components.

Public Outreach
Staff has sent notifications to the Open BH interested parties list throughout the process to develop the proposed changes to the open air dining regulations, and has sent a notification prior to the City Council meeting. Further information regarding the extensive outreach program for the update to the open air dining regulations and fee schedule is included in the attached City Council report (Attachment 10). Information regarding the outreach performed as part of the drafting of the Parklet Design Guidelines is included earlier in this report under the Design and Operating Standards Subcommittee summary.

Public Comment
At the Planning Commission meeting of July 13, 2023, public comment was received that generally supported the proposed changes outlined in the draft ordinance and the intent to streamline the open air dining approval process. One commenter included questions regarding the implementation process and how the transition to the new regulations would be handled for restaurants under the temporary OpenBH program, and one commenter supported the discretionary requests for additional open air dining space.

After the notice for this Council meeting was published, staff received two additional comments that expressed concern that parklet dining poses safety hazards, and creates adverse impacts to traffic and parking availability. One additional comment expressed concern that the Maybourne Hotel receives landscaping payments from the City for the Beverly Cañon Gardens park, and that their open air dining encroaches into the park area.

Meeting Date: December 11, 2023

FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended fees are intended to be charged to all businesses operating on the City’s public right-of-way. As part of the City’s permanent and ongoing open air dining program, the sidewalk dining and parklet dining license fees are expected to generate revenue each month as existing and new businesses transition into the permanent program and pay the monthly lease fees. It is not anticipated that there will be a fiscal impact with the implementation of the proposed program. However, at this time an estimate revenue from the lease fees is unknown until all applications for existing business operating under the temporary program are processed under the permanent open air dining program. It should be noted that the City Council has previously decided the current temporary no-fee OpenBH program is extended to December 31, 2023. Similarly, the current Open Air Dining program has not been charging annual lease fees at the direction of the City Council to keep the two programs in parity.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY

HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS

MUNICIPAL CODE REGULATIONS RELATED

TO OPEN AIR DINING AND FINDING THE

ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM THE

CALIFORNIA QUALITY ACT (CEQA)

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the City established a temporary program to ease open air dining regulations called “OpenBH”, which will expire on December 31, 2023.

The City Council established two Ad Hoc Subcommittees with the intent to make changes to various processes and requirements related to open air dining. The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee has held several meetings to discuss proposed changes to development standards for open air dining, which will help facilitate the establishment of open air dining by businesses in the City.

Section 2. On July 13, 2023, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to discuss the proposed changes to open air dining regulations, after which it adopted Resolution No. 2031 recommending that the City Council amend the open air dining regulations, including changes to the development standards for open air dining configurations and the review process for open air dining approvals (collectively, the “Amendments”). On November 21, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance.

Section 3. This Ordinance and the Amendments were assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council finds that adoption of the Amendments is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because the average slope of the City is less than 20 percent and the Amendments represent a minor alteration in land use limitations, as they are minor changes to existing development standards, and does not result in any changes in land use or density. In addition, the City Council finds that the adoption of the Amendments will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. This exemption is applicable because the Amendments do not authorize construction, and only makes minor changes to existing development standards that apply to a fully built-out area of the City (in the commercially zoned areas). Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Amendments have no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

Section 4. The Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. General Plan Land Use (LU) Goal 12 – Business Districts Adjoining Residential Neighborhoods calls for land uses that enhance and maintain the long-term durability and stability of the community, as well as preserve the quality of life of residential areas.

Similarly, General Plan LU Policy 2.1 – City Places: Neighborhoods, Districts, and Corridors encourages the maintenance of qualities that distinguish the City’s unique residential and business areas, including aesthetics of commercial corridors. General Plan LU Policy 5.5 – Walkable Neighborhoods calls for the maintenance of sidewalks, parkways, and landscaping in the City to promote walking as an activity in the City. General Plan LU Policy 9.1 encourages a mix of uses that support the needs of residents, employees, and visitors. General Plan LU Policy 12.1 requires that commercial uses located near residential neighborhoods are managed to mitigate any potential adverse impacts to residents of the neighborhoods. General Plan LU Policy 15.2 calls for actions that will support key commercial and business industries in the City, including restaurant uses.

Amending sections of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to update the existing open air dining program regulations will help promote and support the health of local restaurant businesses, while also addressing and mitigating potential adverse impacts that could result from open air dining operations. In addition, the Amendments will further enhance the City’s distinctive commercial districts, by encouraging a vibrant pedestrian atmosphere and experience, and will further support community-serving uses.

director of planning and community
development finds that the number of

1 RESOLUTION NO. 2031

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE

CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS RECOMMENDING THAT THE

CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE

BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE REGULATIONS

RELATED TO OPEN AIR DINING
The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills hereby finds, resolves, and determines as follows:

Section 1. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the City established a temporary program ber 30, 2023.

The City Council established two Ad Hoc Subcommittees with the intent to make changes to various processes and requirements related to open air dining. The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee has held several meetings to discuss proposed changes to development standards for open air dining, which will help facilitate the establishment of open air dining by businesses in the City. The work of the Subcommittee was reviewed at the May 16, 2023 study session of the full City Council who have expressed their support of the work the Subcommittee. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed Amendments to the City of Beverly Hills Municipal Code pertaining to regulations related to open air dining, as set forth and attached hereto as Exhibit A ( . Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on July 13, 2023, at which time it received oral and documentary evidence relative to the proposed Amendments.

Section 3. The Amendments were assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The Planning Commission recommends 2 that the City Council find that adoption of the Amendments is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because the average slope of the City is less than 20 percent and the Amendments represent a minor alteration in land use limitations, as they are minor changes to existing development standards, and does not result in any changes in land use or density. In addition, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that the adoption of the Amendments will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. This exemption is applicable because the Amendments do not authorize construction, and only make minor changes to existing development standards that apply to a fully built-out area of the City (in the commercially zoned areas).

Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Amendments have no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed Amendments are required because of the benefit to the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, or general welfare, and that such Amendments are consistent with the general objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan.

Section 5. The Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. General Plan Land Use (LU) Goal 12 Business Districts Adjoining Residential Neighborhoods calls for land uses that enhance and maintain the long-term durability and stability of the community, as well as preserve the quality of life of residential areas.

Similarly, General Plan LU Policy 2.1 City Places: Neighborhoods, Districts, and Corridors encourages the maintenance of qualities that distinguish the Ci 3 areas, including aesthetics of commercial corridors. General Plan LU Policy 5.5 Walkable Neighborhoods calls for the maintenance of sidewalks, parkways, and landscaping in the City to promote walking as an activity in the City. General Plan LU Policy 9.1 encourages a mix of uses that support the needs of residents, employees, and visitors. General Plan LU Policy 12.1 requires that commercial uses located near residential neighborhoods are managed to mitigate any potential adverse impacts to residents of the neighborhoods. General Plan LU Policy 15.2 calls for actions that will support key commercial and business industries in the City, including restaurant uses.

Amending sections of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to update the existing open air dining program regulations will help promote and support the health of local restaurant businesses, while also addressing and mitigating potential adverse impacts that could result from open air dining operations. In addition,
districts, by encouraging a vibrant pedestrian atmosphere and experience, and will further support community-serving uses. For the foregoing reasons, the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, or general welfare requires the code amendments. Further, the Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan as set forth above.

Section 6. At the conclusion of the Plann
the Commission reached a consensus on certain items, but were split on others, and voted 3-1 to recommend the draft ordinance to the City Council for approval. As a result, the Commission requested that a summary of the issues discussed be included in this resolution recommending the ordinance to the City Council, and directed staff to update the ordinance prior to its presentation to the City Council for adoption. The Planning Commission agreed upon recommended changes to the draft ordinance language: the addition of a definition of a parklet, the removal of the parking 4 requirements for all open air dining located on private property, and to add a threshold that would require discretionary review for open air dining areas located closer than a certain distance from residentially zoned properties. In addition, the Planning Commission directed staff to create guidelines
open air dining permits.

The Commission did not come to a consensus on whether or not to allow a discretionary request for the Director of Community Development to approve the extension of open air dining one or more
Commission was split 2-2 on this issue and decided to forward the draft ordinance with no recommendation as to this provision.

The Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council the adoption of an ordinance approving and enacting the proposed Amendments substantially as set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, along changes consistent with the summary of the issues and changes discussed by the Commission as set forth herein. //
//
//
//
//
//
//

//
5 Section 7. The Secretary of the Planning Commission shall certify to the passage, approval, and adoption of this resolution, and shall cause this resolution and his/her Certification to be entered in the Book of Resolutions of the Planning Commission of the City.

The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee has held several meetings to discuss proposed changes to development standards for open air dining, which will help facilitate the establishment of open air dining by businesses in the City.

Section 2. On July 13, 2023, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to discuss the proposed changes to open air dining regulations, after which it adopted Resolution No. 2031 recommending that the City Council amend the open air dining regulations, including changes to the development standards for open air dining configurations and the review process for open air dining approvals On ___________, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance.

Section 3. This Ordinance and the Amendments were assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council finds that adoption of the Amendments is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because the average slope of the City is less than 20 percent and the Amendments represent a minor alteration in land use limitations, as they are minor changes to existing development standards, and does not result in any changes in land use or density. In addition, the City Council finds that the adoption of the Amendments will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. This exemption is applicable because the Amendments do not authorize construction, and only makes minor changes to existing development standards that apply to a fully built-out area of the City (in the commercially zoned areas). Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Amendments have no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

Section 4. The Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. General Plan Land Use (LU) Goal 12 Business Districts Adjoining Residential Neighborhoods calls for land uses that enhance and maintain the long-term durability and stability of the community, as well as preserve the quality of life of residential areas.

Similarly, General Plan LU Policy 2.1 City Places: Neighborhoods, Districts, and Corridors areas, including aesthetics of commercial corridors. General Plan LU Policy 5.5 Walkable Neighborhoods calls for the maintenance of sidewalks, parkways, and landscaping in the City to promote walking as an activity in the City. General Plan LU Policy 9.1 encourages a mix of uses that support the needs of residents, employees, and visitors. General Plan LU Policy 12.1 requires that commercial uses located near residential neighborhoods are managed to mitigate any potential adverse impacts to residents of the neighborhoods. General Plan LU Policy 15.2 calls for actions that will support key commercial and business industries in the City, including restaurant uses.

Amending sections of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to update the existing open air dining program regulations will help promote and support the health of local restaurant businesses, while also addressing and mitigating potential adverse impacts that could result from open air dining districts, by encouraging a vibrant pedestrian atmosphere and experience, and will further support community-serving uses. For the foregoing reasons, the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, or general welfare requires the code amendments. Further, the Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan as set forth above.

Section 5. The City Council hereby amends Section 10-3-100 of Article 1 of Chapter unchanged:

INTRODUCTION I
What is a Parklet?
A Parklet is any space where street parking is converted to an outdoor dining area to serve an adjacent restaurant business. Unlike sidewalk open air dining, described within, a Parklet has an immediate interface with vehicular traffic. Parklets, therefore, require a more robust set of technical standards defined within this manual.

The History of Parklets in Beverly Hills
Parklet installations during the pandemic were built to meet the urgent temporary need for additional outdoor space. OpenBH was created to help all Beverly Hills businesses to be open during the pandemic. One of the more popular uses of the OpenBH program was by restaurants and cafés that were permitted to provide open-air dining adjacent to their storefronts as a temporary solution to help them stay operational during a time when outdoor dining was the only available option. OpenBH installations by restaurants and cafés include sidewalk dining, converted private property dining (parking lots), and Parklet dining (dining in parking meter spaces or similar). With the desire to make these temporary installations more permanent, Parklets need to provide diner, pedestrian, and vehicular comfort while supporting the overall aesthetic of the streetscape. To achieve this goal, these Parklet Design Guidelines were developed with considerations to the Beverly Hills brand.

At the direction of the City Council, two Ad Hoc Subcommittees were formed to work on the long-term conversion of the OpenBH program for outdoor dining. The Subcommittees include; “Design and Operating Standards Subcommittee” and “Code and Fee Changes Subcommittee”.

Together these committees collaborated with stakeholders, business owners and operators, City Council, technical experts, and the citizens of Beverly Hills to form the standards and design guidelines presented in this manual.

Succulent Shrubs are very low water. Growth factor will be easily controlled due to shallow planting depth. Hand watering as specified for each Parklet. Check the soil periodically. To ensure the health of all succulents, allow the soil to dry out.

For low water succulents: 1x per week year round is more than sufficient. They can go without water for longer periods (two weeks) if scheduling requires. Do not over water. All hand watered plants should be watered directly into the soil with no overhead spraying.

The City of Beverly Hills Open Air Dining Design
Guidelines are intended to serve as a companion
document to the City’s Open Air Dining Regulations
to streamline the permitting process.

Applicants, designers, and contractors should review
the criteria outlined in this guide in advance of
designing open air dining areas.

A project that is consistent with this guidelines and
the City’s ministerial Open Air Dining requirements
(BHMC Section 10-3-3502) will receive an
administrative-level, expedited review.

Projects that lack consistency with these guidelines
will require a review by the Restaurant Subcommittee
of the Architectural Commission.

A. Enclosures and Barriers
boundary elements
Permanent barriers are required where there are 8 or more chairs. Barriers should be of durable, weather-resistant, high-quality material and complement the outdoor dining experience. Painting barriers with the same or complementary color as other elements of the storefront design, such as awnings or window frames, or selecting matching materials and finish treatments is suggested.

Planters may also function as barriers.

B. Furniture
tables, chairs, & other furniture
Outdoor furniture plays a key role in the overall design and quality of the open air dining experience. Furnishings should complement the overall aesthetics of the outdoor dining area and facade treatments.

Planters should include drainage
elements to ensure that excess water
does not drain onto the public
sidewalk.

C. Shade Elements
umbrellas & awnings
Shade elements may be umbrellas mounted to the dining enclosure or awnings attached to the facade. Shade elements also play a key role in setting the overall impression of the open air dining area. Choose an appropriate design with colors and materials that enhance the quality of the open air dining experience while attracting patrons.

D. Plantings
planters & other landscaping
Plantings are key elements for open air dining spaces, which can enhance the beauty of a space and provide additonal screening for dining patrons.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 16, 2023

From: Timothea Tway, AICP, Director of Community Development Masa Alkire, AICP, City Planner
Cindy Gordon, AICP, Principal Planner
Chloe Chen, Senior Planner
Subject: Report on the OpenBH Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee Recommendations and Request for Direction on Permanent
OpenBH Program
Attachments: 1. Table 3. Summary of Potential Open Air Dining Fees and Costs

2. Handout for 3/14/2023 Open BH Subcommittee Meeting
and Survey

INTRODUCTION
In order to develop a permanent OpenBH program based on lessons learned from the temporary program that was launched during the Covid pandemic, the City Council established two City Council Ad Hoc Subcommittees: the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee with Councilmembers Julian Gold and Lester Friedman, and the Design and Operation Subcommittee, with Councilmembers Lili Bosse and Sharona Nazarian.

The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee is focused on the crafting of the permanent regulations and fees that will apply to those businesses participating in the permanent OpenBH program, while the Design and Operation Subcommittee is primarily focused on developing standards for parklet design and approval. This report provides an update from the Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee’s progress and recommendations regarding the permanent OpenBH program regulations and fees and seeks direction that will help staff move forward with the development of a draft ordinance that reflects these discussions.

The Code Changes and Fees Subcommittee has met on six occasions (November 29, 2021; January 26, 2022; March 2, 2022; April 4, 2022; May 5, 2022, and March 14, 2023) to review the existing open air dining regulations and determine if changes to code requirements, lease fees, and/or the approval process are necessary or desired. The Subcommittee considered several questions to guide discussions regarding potential changes to the City’s permanent open air dining program. These prior discussions were framed by the following questions:
• What type, how much, and where should outdoor dining be allowed in the city? • What is the appropriate relationship between indoor and outdoor dining? Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
