Meeting Date: December 3, 2024
DISCUSSION
This ordinance amends the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to update various regulations related to housing to bring these code sections into compliance with state law, and as directed by several Implementation Programs from the adopted Housing Element.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
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. Staff recommends that the City Council find the ordinance is exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that there is no potential for such ordinance to have a significant adverse effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3). Section 15061 (b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations states that CEQA applies only to projects which have thepotential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Amendments do not authorize construction and make minor changes to existing standards and land use limitations that apply to existing uses permitted in residential zones in the City and allow uses that are consistent with the residential uses currently permitted in such zones.
Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the draft ordinance has no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment and the Amendments are categorically exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), in addition to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations for minor alterations in land use regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact anticipated as a result of this ordinance.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. During the City’s Housing Element Update Review process for the 6th cycle planning period from 2021 to 2029, the California Department of Housing and Development (HCD) directed the City to: update the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) definitions for“One-Family or Single-Family Residence or Dwelling” and “Single Housekeeping Unit”; clarifyzoning districts that accommodate “Group Homes or Residential Care Facilities” and “TransitionalHousing and Supportive Housing” to address housing constraints on persons with disabilities;address the replacement housing requirements for the sites inventory ofthe Housing Element; and to amend emergency shelter regulations in compliance with state law; Section 2. On October 15, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to discuss the proposed Amendments to the BHMC pertaining to regulations for a varietyof specialty housing types and state law requirements, after which it adopted Resolution No. 2073recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed changes to implement Housing ElementImplementation Programs 11 .1, 11.5, and 11.7 (collectively, the “Amendments”). On November -1-
B0785-0001\3038168v1.doc
19, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance.
Section 3. The Amendments involve revisions to the existing regulations for emergency shelters, and such revisions are intended to bring the BHMC into compliance withcurrent state law requirements for emergency shelters. The properties identified to accommodate the establishment of emergency shelters are located within the Special Needs Housing OverlayZone, and include more than ten parcels with site areas that meet or exceed the minimum square footage requirements for the point-in-time homeless count in the City applicable to the planning period. This includes a vacant parcel and parcels with only surface parking on the site, which can accommodate the minimum square footage requirements for the point-in-time homeless count in the City applicable to the planning period. In addition, these parcels are located in the R-4 Multi Family Residential Zone and are nonvacant sites. Pursuant to the requirements of GovernmentCode Section 65583(a)(4)(A) and 65583(a)(4)(H), emergency shelters may be established withoutdiscretionary review, and the existing nonvacant sites currently improved with multi-family residential uses have not impeded redevelopment for other uses permitted in the zone, as therehave been multiple sites proposed or approved for redevelopment in the same zone since the startof the planning period. Furthermore, existing multi-family residential uses may be repurposed fora variety of specialty housing types or care facilities, since these developments are alreadydeveloped with amenities that are required for such facilities, and are located in close proximity toother resources and public transit facilities. As such, the Planning Commission finds that theidentified zoning to accommodate emergency shelters is in compliance with state law requirementsfor these uses. -2-

Section 4. The Amendments were assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQAGuidelines, and the environmental regulations ofthe City. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find the ordinance is exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that there is no potential for such ordinance to have a significant adverse effect on the environmentpursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potentialfor causing a significant effect on the environment. The Amendments do not authorize constructionand make minor changes to existing standards and land use limitations that apply to existing uses permitted in residential zones in the City, and allow uses that are consistent with the residentialuses currently permitted in such zones. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the draft ordinance has no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment and the Amendments are categorically exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), inaddition to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, for minor alterations in land use regulations.
Section 5. The Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. The Housing Element of the General Plan sets forth Goal H2 — Housing Supply and Diversity, which calls for the provision of a variety of housing types and adequate affordable housing supply. Similarly, Goal H3 — Fair Housing and Special NeedsResidents promotes equal housing opportunities for all residents, especially persons withdisabilities, homeless, and those at risk of homelessness. The Housing Element ImplementationPrograms 11.1, 11.5 and 11.7 specifically require updates and revisions to the zoning code toremove constraints on persons with disabilities and provide adequate zones for special needs -3-

housing uses. General Plan Land Use (LU) Policy 5.1 -Neighborhood Conservation calls for the maintenance of the uses, densities, character, amenities, and quality of the City’s residential neighborhoods, recognizing their contribution to the City’s identity, economic value, and qualityof life. LU Policy 13.8— Residential Care Facilities encourages the development of senior daycare facilities, assisted living facilities, hospice, child care, and other residential care facilities in appropriate areas throughout the City. Amending sections of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to zone for a variety of special needs housing uses will meet several of the stated objectives, standards, goals, and policies of the General Plan. The Amendments will further protect the identity of residential neighborhoods by creating certain objective standards for specific types ofhousing uses, which will further the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, or general welfare.
