Subject: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING ARTICLE 8 OF CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE 4 OF THE BEVERLY HILLS
MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THIRD-PARTY FOOD DELIVERY
SERVICE CHARGES AND DISCLOSURES
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council move to waive the full reading of the ordinance and that the ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING ARTICLE 8 OF CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE 4 OF THE BEVERLY HILLS
MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THIRD-PARTY FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE CHARGES AND DISCLOSURES” be introduced and read by title only (Attachment 1).
INTRODUCTION
On March 7, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 23-O-2873 (Attachment 2) to preserve certain emergency regulations the City had in place during the COVID-19 emergency declaration. This included the addition of Title 4 (Regulation of Certain Types of Businesses and Activities) Chapter 4 (Other Regulations for Specific Types of Businesses and Activities) Article 8 ("Third-Party Food Delivery Services") to the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (hereinafter referred to as BHMC 4-4-8), which capped delivery fees, commissions, or costs a third-party food delivery service company could charge a restaurant at 15 percent of the purchase price for core delivery services. Additionally, the ordinance allowed an additional 5 percent of the purchase price to be charged for all other non-delivery fees and costs.
Subsequently, DoorDash approached the City and encouraged the City to adopt an ordinance similar to the ordinance adopted by San Francisco which preserved the 15 percent cap on core delivery services but allowed for restaurants to opt-in to a higher level of service if they chose to do so. DoorDash was referred to the Chamber of Commerce who supports the conversion to be San Francisco model.

3. Chamber of Commerce Letter
Meeting Date: March 18, 2024
Therefore, this item requests the City Council consider potential revisions to BHMC 4-4-8 (Attachment 1) to adopt the San Francisco model which would, amongst other updates:
1) Preserves the 15% rate for core delivery services, but allows restaurants to voluntarily opt-in to pay rates to the third-party food delivery service companies for additional offerings beyond core services such as marketing, advertising, search engine optimization, or business consulting without the City limiting the costs for those additional services.
2) Prohibits a third-party food delivery service from intentionally inflating or altering a restaurant’s purchase price without the consent of the restaurant’s owner or their designee.
3) Establish a termination provision that allows restaurants to terminate their contract with a third-party delivery service upon 72 hours’ notice.
Under this proposal, the City Council would still maintain the provisions for the 15 percent cap for third-party food delivery service companies’ core services, which are considered to be a listing on the website of the third-party delivery service and delivery of the items purchased.
DISCUSSION
On March 15, 2020, the City Manager proclaimed the existence of a local state emergency to ensure the City could effectively respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The City Council ratified the state of emergency on March 16, 2020. Thereafter, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 20-O-2805, which was superseded from time to time. That ordinance and its amendments implemented emergency regulations to ease financial burdens on businesses and residents and slow the spread of the virus.
On March 7, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 23-O-2873 (Attachment 2) codifying certain emergency regulations that were established during COVID-19 to aid the City’s businesses prior to the City Council declaring an end to the City’s state of emergency on April 18, 2023. This ordinance included the permanent cap of fees a thirdparty food delivery service company, such as Uber Eats, Postmates and DoorDash, could charge a restaurant and the person they are delivering food to. The restrictions in the ordinance are:
1) A third-party food delivery service is limited to charging 15 percent of the purchase price for delivery fees and 5 percent of the purchase price for all other fees and costs;
2) A third-party food delivery service may not charge customers more than the restaurant’s listed prices and must provide an itemized breakdown of the costs and fees associated with each order; and
3) All tips and gratuity shall be given to the person delivering the food.
The City’s Ordinance was similar to fee limits adopted by the City and County of San Francisco (San Francisco); however, the third-party food delivery service companies filed a lawsuit against San Francisco stating the ordinance impermissibly interfered with their contracts with restaurants, represented an unconstitutional taking of property, violated their due process and equal protection rights, and was intended to retaliate against them for their speech.
In March 2022, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen rejected most of those accusations; however, he acknowledged the ordinance might violate the third-party delivery companies’ constitutional rights or by taking their property or by being confiscatory.
Meeting Date: March 18, 2024
After this ruling was issued, San Francisco worked with the third-party food delivery service companies to develop and pass an ordinance which modified San Francisco’s third-party food delivery service fee restrictions. The fee for the third-party food delivery service companies’ core services would continue to be capped at 15 percent of the total order while allowing companies to charge restaurants more for additional offerings such as marketing, advertising, search engine optimization, or business consulting.
The City Attorney’s Office has drafted an ordinance to update the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to more closely follow the San Francisco case. This includes, but is not limited to:
1) Preserving the 15% rate for core delivery services, but allowing restaurants to voluntarily opt-in to pay rates to the third-party food delivery service companies for additional offerings beyond core services such as marketing, advertising, search engine optimization, or business consulting without the City limiting the costs for those additional services.
2) Prohibiting a third-party food delivery service from intentionally inflating or altering a restaurant’s purchase price without the consent of the restaurant’s owner or their designee.
3) Establishing a termination provision that allows restaurants to terminate their contract with a third-party delivery service upon 72 hours’ notice. 4) Ensures that tips are paid to the person delivering the food.
On March 4, 2024, the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce (Attachment 3) sent a letter of support for Ordinance as drafted.

The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees.
Section 2. This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which is the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment, and CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that the enactment of regulations on third-party food delivery services will not cause a significant effect on the environment. In addition, these regulations do not constitute a project that is subject to the provisions of CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and (b)(5).
Section 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the final decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Ordinance shall be and remain in full force and effect.
Section 4. Publication. The City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the city within fifteen (15) days after its passage in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code, shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance and the City Clerk’s certification, together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this City.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force and effect at 12:01 a.m. on the thirty-first (31st) day after its passage.

AUTHORITY TO ISSUE PERMITS FOR OUTDOOR DINING,

REQUIREMENTS FOR OUTDOOR DINING AND ADDING ARTICLE
8 TO CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE 4 OF THE BEVERLY HILLS
MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, international, national, state and local health and governmental authorities have responded to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus named "SARSCoV-2" and the disease it causes has been named "coronavirus disease 2019," abbreviated COVID-19, ("COVID-19"); and
WHEREAS, on March 15, 2020, the City Manager, in his role as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed the existence of a local emergency pursuant to Section 2-4- 107 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to ensure the availability of mutual aid and an effective City response to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and that state of emergency was ratified by the City Council on March 16, 2020 ("local state of emergency"); and WHEREAS, restaurants located within the City were prohibited from offering dine-in service, limiting restaurants to delivery and takeout offerings only, which placed a sudden and severe financial strain on many restaurants, adding to the financial pressures in the industry that predated the COVID-19 crisis. In response, the City of Beverly Hills adopted measures to try to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on businesses in the City by waiving certain fees, and authorizing the use of parking spaces and street closures for temporary outdoor dining spaces and pick-up operations, as well as regulating fees imposed on restaurants by Third-Party Food Delivery services; and
WHEREAS, upon the end of the local state of emergency, these measures shall cease to be effective; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that designated curbside pickup zones have benefited both local businesses and their consumers, but some zones have also reduced parking availability and increased traffic congestion in the City, been misused by businesses for purposes other than order pick-ups, and may no longer be necessary to support businesses' pick-up operations; and WHEREAS, outdoor dining generates business and creates vibrant community spaces in the City. The City Manager's continued ability to issue street closure and other permits, and the waiver of Special Event Pennit fees and other requirements, will facilitate outdoor dining and benefit both businesses and consumers alike; and
WHEREAS, the use of third-party applications and websites to place orders with restaurants for delivery and takeout remains popular amongst consumers even after in-person dining has resumed; and
R0785-0nn 1 \2779195v2.dnc
WHEREAS, prior to the City's emergency regulations, third-party platforms often charged restaurants fees ranging from 30% to 40% of the purchase price per order; and WHEREAS, restaurants, and particularly restaurants that are small businesses, have limiting bargaining power to negotiate lower fees with third-party platforms, given the high market saturation of third-party platforms; and
WHEREAS, permanently capping per-order fees will ensure restaurants in the City receive reasonable revenue from orders placed by consumers, while not unduly burdening thirdparty platforms that continue to be in high demand.
Section 1. The City Manager is authorized to review existing curbside pickup zones and remove zones that meet one or more of the following conditions:
1. the curbside pickup zone is no longer reasonably necessary to accommodate the business needs of the nearby businesses;
2. the demand for parking in the immediate area outweighs the demand for a curbside pickup zone;
3. the curbside pickup zone significantly impacts traffic in the area; or
4. a nearby business has misused the curbside pickup zone.
Section 2. The City Manager is authorized to issue street closure permits and any other permits necessary to allow for temporary outdoor dining.
Section 3. The City shall waive fees associated with a Special Event Permit for temporary outdoor dining and shall waive the minimum ten (10) day period for filing an application for a Special Event Permit for temporary outdoor dining.
Section 4. Article 8 ("Third-Party Food Delivery Services") is hereby added to of Chapter 4 (Other Regulations for Specific Types of Businesses and Activities) of Title 4 (Regulation of Certain Types of Businesses and Activities) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to read as follows:

It can be seen with certainty that granting the City Manager the authority to remove certain curbside pickup zones, and the continued waiver of Special Event Permit fees and requirements and grant of authority to the City Manager to issue permits for temporary outdoor dining, as well as the enactment of regulations on third-party food delivery services will not cause a significant effect on the environment.
