STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & City Council
From: Logan Phillippo, Real Property Development Manager Subject: Affordable Housing Development at the Gale Yard Attachments: 1. Prior 2022 Request for Qualifications and Conceptual Proposals
2. Notice mailed January 23, 2026
INTRODUCTION
As described in the Housing Element of the City’s General Plan, the City has committed to facilitating the development of a total of 557 units of affordable housing on multiple City properties. Of those 557 units, the City has committed to facilitating the development of 125 affordable units at the property known as the Gale Yard located at 8401 Wilshire Boulevard, which consists of three separate parcels the City has purchased at separate points since 2017.
For the past several years, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“Metro”) utilized the entire property under multiple temporary construction easements (each a “TCE” and collectively the “TCEs”) until their termination by Metro on October 27, 2025, since Metro no longer required the property and the TCEs for D-Line construction.
Given the commitment in the Housing Element and that Metro has vacated the property, Staff recommends City Council direct Staff to issue a request for proposals (“RFP”) to develop the site with at least 125 units of affordable housing. Staff seeks City Council direction on:
(1) Whether to issue an RFP; and
(2) Any key direction to provide to developers responding to the RFP, especially with regard to the scope of development, as discussed in this report.
DISCUSSION
Housing Element Context
The Housing Element of the City’s General Plan identifies strategies and programs to facilitate the provision of an adequate supply of safe, affordable housing for all community members regardless of income and those with special housing needs. The City’s 2021- 2029 Housing Element was developed from 2020 to 2024 with community input, Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
discussions at several public meetings, and review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”).
A key component of the Housing Element is the analysis of potential sites for residential development and the establishment of housing programs to accommodate the City’s share of future housing needs for all income groups as identified through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) planning process.
The RHNA process begins with HCD’s projection of future statewide housing growth need, and the apportionment of this need to regions throughout the state. The Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”) is the agency responsible for developing an allocation methodology to distribute the Southern California region’s share of statewide housing need to cities and counties by income level, commonly referred to as a RHNA allocation. The RHNA allocation represents the minimum number of potential housing units each community must accommodate through its land use plans and development regulations. The Beverly Hills RHNA allocation for the current 2021-2029 planning period is 3,104 housing units that are categorized by income level as shown in the table below.
Beverly Hills RHNA Allocation, 2021-2029 Planning Period Income Level Percent of AMI* Units
Very Low Up to 50% 1,008
Low 51% - 80% 680
Moderate 81% - 120% 602
Above Moderate 120%+ 814
Total 3,104
*Area Median Income
As described in the Housing Element, the City has committed to facilitating the development of 557 units of affordable housing on property the City owns or would purchase. The Housing Element includes the following action items for the Gale Yard:
• Enter into an agreement with a developer to create a redevelopment plan for the Gale Yard;
• Ensure that any temporary construction use of the Gale Yard is discontinued by 2026 (Metro terminated the TCEs in October 2025);
• Acquire additional sites adjacent to the Gale Yard if such sites become available for sale;
• Facilitate the issuance of entitlements and building permits and provide funding for this project as needed; and
• If the project entitlements are not approved by the end of 2027, the City will propose to develop the 125 affordable lower income housing units on an alternate site or sites, including City-owned or City-controlled sites and will amend the Housing Element to reflect this commitment.
Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
Gale Yard Description
The Gale Yard is in the Southeast Area, at the northwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Gale Drive. Wilshire/La Cienega Station is approximately one block away to the west.
Along its west property line is the Clock Market building, which was purchased by the Parking Authority in 2019. The Clock Market building is discussed in more detail further below in this report. The Gale Yard totals 31,280 square feet (0.72 acres). Most of the property is situated in the Mixed Use-Overlay Zone with an underlying C-3 Commercial Zone. The north fifty feet of the property are situated in the R-4 Multiple Residential Zone.
Adjacent to the north is a two-story multi-family apartment building with nine units at 113 North Gale. Adjacent to the northwest is a four-story, multi-family condominium building at 112 North Hamilton Drive with 29 units. Across the street on Wilshire, at the southeast corner of Wilshire and Hamilton, is the Saban Theatre, which in some areas rises to eight stories. Across the street on Gale is the 8383 Wilshire office building, which has 10 stories.
One other notable building is the 8484 Wilshire office building at the southwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard, which has 10 stories.

4. Clock Market Parcel – 8423 Wilshire, 19,290 square feet, acquired 10/2/2019, Mixed-Use Zone As described in the diagram above, the City has assembled the Gale Yard and adjacent Clock Market property (currently owned by the Parking Authority) through four separate acquisitions since 2017. The entirety of the Gale Yard has been used by Metro, each individual parcel under a separate temporary construction easement/TCE, for activity related to the D-Line construction from approximately 2015-2016 through October 2025.
The City acquired Parcel 1 from Metro in 2017, and Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 in 2023 from private parties, subject to the terms of each TCE in place at the time.
Clock Market Property
The Clock Market building at 8423 Wilshire was acquired by the Parking Authority in 2019.
The entirety of the building is leased to O’Gara Coach, which operates a car dealership that sells Lamborghini and Bentley vehicles at this location. The lease with O’Gara Coach expires on June 30, 2027, and the tenant has two five-year options to extend the term of the lease for up to 10 additional years to as late as June 30, 2037.
The building is on the City’s local registry of historic properties. It was originally referred to as the Clock Drive-in Market and was built in 1929. It was designed and built as a drivein market with a large apartment (later turned into office space) upstairs and a small standalone gas station at its southeast corner. The two-story portion of the structure is dominated by a monumental square-shaped clock tower that gave the building its name.
It displays typical Spanish characteristics, including arched shape entries on the south and west, balconies of stucco and wrought iron, casement of wood-frame windows separated by pilasters, clay tile roof vents, and iron grilles. 3 2

The Clock Market Property totals 19,290 square feet (0.44 acres). Although the property is not the subject of the potential RFP, the Clock Market was discussed during the Gale Yard Public Forums, which are summarized below. A future project at the Gale Yard could reference the architectural style and orientation of the Clock Market building to help an affordable housing development feel cohesive and deliberately integrated into the surrounding area.

Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
Prior Gale Yard Public Forums in 2022
On May 2, 2022 (the “First Forum”), and on October 17, 2022 (the “Second Forum”), the City hosted public forums to discuss future development of the Gale Yard. At that time, the City owned only Parcel 1 of the Gale Yard described in the diagram above.
Since the conclusion of both forums in 2022, the City purchased the remaining two parcels of the Gale Yard, described in the Gale Yard Parcel Diagram above, to achieve the current footprint of the property. As part of subsequent discussions at public meetings related to the Housing Element adoption and certification, the City committed to facilitating the development of 125 units of affordable housing at the Gale Yard.
The remainder of this section provides background on the First Forum and Second Forum.
Presentation slides and video recordings regarding both 2022 forums can be found on the City’s website at https://beverlyhills.org/1298/Gale-Yard-Long-Term-Use-Plan. If navigating from the City’s website homepage (https://beverlyhills.org), click on “Government”, then “Community Development” under the Departments subheading, then “Planning” then “Current Projects & Planning Efforts”, then “Long Range Planning & Policy Efforts”, then “Gale Yard Long-Term Use Plan”.
The First Forum was intended to be a high-level discussion on possible future uses of the Gale Yard and to solicit initial public feedback in a listening session to inform future development of the site in a potential future RFP. Possible future uses included use as a mobility hub, an affordable housing site, and/or a police substation. A mobility hub had been discussed previously as part of the 2020-2022 Connect Beverly Hills project that developed design standards for street furnishings, plantings, and other infrastructure to make more attractive and walkable corridors along Wilshire and La Cienega. The forums called upon other themes the City had heard from prior community discussions through the Southeast Task Force, Southeast in Motion Community Meetings, and the Strategic Planning Committee. At the First Forum, public commentors suggested a welcome/visitors center, a Beverly Hills museum, a police substation, restaurants, a pick-up and drop-off location, affordable housing, mixed-use with housing and ground-floor cafes/restaurants, and public parking serving nearby uses.
The Second Forum was led by an outside facilitator contracted by the City, Dave Ceppos, the Director of the Consensus and Collaboration Program at the College of Continuing Education of Sacramento State University. The purpose was to have a community discussion that built upon the listening session in the First Forum in order to inform a future RFP for the development of the site. Responses from a survey that took place between April through June 2022 were presented. The survey received 190 responses and a majority of respondents indicated that they live, work, and/or own property in Beverly Hills and live in southeast Beverly Hills.
During the Second Forum, the facilitator asked a series of questions and four priority outcomes emerged.
1. Public Safety
Public safety arose as the first priority outcome to those who participated in the process, and there was strong interest in a police substation on the site or nearby to serve this area of the city. Speakers noted the Police Department at Civic Center is far from Wilshire/La Cienega Station, and the station and surrounding area could benefit from a stronger police presence.
Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
2. Enhanced Vibrancy
Vibrancy arose as the second priority outcome. Community members voiced their hope to see increased vibrancy in the area and were excited by the prospect of redevelopment of the Gale Yard and or adjacent Clock Market property site to support gathering spaces like shops and cafes, facilities that support the arts, and local, viable businesses.
3. Parking
Parking arose as the third priority outcome. Participants recognized the limited size and high value of the developable site at that time, which is now larger since the 2022 Gale Yard Public Forums took place, and generally supported a mid-rise level of height and density for building on the site. Public commenters also voiced that parking should be accommodated underground in any development scenario so as not to waste valuable surface area and to mitigate any spillover impacts into the adjacent residential neighborhoods. There was also some discussion about a possible mobility hub, serving as pick-up and drop-off area for the metro station.
4. Housing
Housing arose as the fourth priority outcome. The prospect of locating housing on the site garnered mixed responses from participants, but the overall majority seem to recognize the importance of accommodating some housing on the site. Voices throughout the process indicated support for possible affordable housing, senior housing, and workforce housing for City public safety personnel or Beverly Hills Unified School District teachers and employees.
Key Elements of a Request for Proposals (“RFP”)
In this context, an RFP would act as a formal invitation asking qualified developers to propose how they would deliver a project that meets the City’s goals. An RFP allows the City to select the best developer through a transparent process, advance City priorities, and help ensure financial feasibility of the future project.
Key direction from the City in an RFP would include:
• A clear background and statement of City goals, objectives, and priorities for the affordable housing project;
• A description of the site and its constraints;
• A description of the envisioned scope of development including elements such as the number of units, acceptable height, target affordability levels, populations, unit mix, acceptable height and density, etcetera;
• Written expectations for parking, site amenities, and/or other on-site uses; • How the property is conveyed (i.e. a 55-year ground lease, which has been extensively discussed with City Council at previous meetings) • Proposal submission requirements; and
• Evaluation criteria and scoring processes.
In 2022, the City released a Request for Qualifications and Conceptual Proposals for development of a 100% affordable project and ultimately selected developer WHCHC for a project at 9268-9298 West Third Street (the Credit Union and Lakeshore properties).
Due to site conditions, a project was not feasible and now the City is working with WHCHC on a 100% affordable project at 327-335 South Robertson Boulevard instead.
That 2022 RFP process did not identify one property but rather identified several possible City-owned properties and allowed developers to propose a project on any site owned by Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
the City. The 2022 RFP also referenced existing relevant zoning and development standards in the Municipal Code but allowed developers to propose diverging from those development standards with sufficient justification. The RFP also asked developers to propose project amenities such as ground-floor retail space, public plazas, and parking they thought would be feasible without providing specific threshold criteria. The City could adopt a similar approach for a Gale Yard RFP, with the expectation that developers would assess applicable development standards and the surrounding area to propose a project that is both feasible and responsive to its context.
For reference purposes, the 2022 RFP is included as Attachment 1 to this report.
Key information provided in each developer’s response to the RFP would include:
• A description of development team experience and qualifications; • A proposed project that aligns with City goals, objectives, and priorities as well as the envisioned scope of development;
• Identifying a cohesive vision for the project and list the number of proposed dwelling units along with the mix of units;
• Financing details, including a development proforma with the uses and sources of both construction financing and permanent financing along with a statement of projected cash flows; and
• Demonstrate the project is financially feasible and that available outside funding sources will be utilized to the maximum amounts possible.
Meeting Noticing
In order to inform the immediate neighbors, a notice regarding this Study Session was sent to all properties in Beverly Hills jurisdiction within 500 feet of the exterior boundary of the subject Property’s boundaries, extending to the end of the entire block in cases where the radius line includes only a portion of a given block of properties. The notice was mailed January 23, 2026, and a copy is included as Attachment 2 to this report. The notice was additionally emailed on February 3, 2026, to the City’s distribution lists for those who have previously indicated an interest in the Gale Yard, Southeast Area, and/or Long-Range Planning.
FISCAL IMPACT
Finalizing and releasing the RFP will primarily utilize Staff time, which is already accounted for in the City’s operating budget. The City will review RFP responses from developers with consultant support from Keyser Marston Associates. Staff estimates costs from outside consultants to be approximately $25,000-$50,000, depending on the number of responses received. Funding for these services is available in the Affordable Housing Fund’s Capital Improvement Budget for predevelopment expenses associated with future affordable projects.
After completion of the RFP process, the City would likely ground lease the Gale Yard to the selected developer at a future date. The City should additionally expect to contribute the land with ground lease payments made from the project’s residual receipts over the ground lease term. The selected developer may require funding sources that include a gap contribution from the City. These details would be further evaluated after receiving responses to the RFP.
Meeting Date: February 11, 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Staff seeks City Council direction on:
(1) Whether to issue an RFP in the coming months; and
(2) Any key direction to provide to developers responding to the RFP, as discussed in this report, especially with regard to the scope of development.
As stated in the Housing Element actions items related to the Gale Yard, if the project entitlements for a Gale Yard affordable housing project are not approved by the end of 2027, the City will propose to develop the 125 affordable lower income housing units on an alternate site or sites, including City-owned or City-controlled sites and will amend the Housing Element to reflect this commitment.
Staff recommends City Council direct Staff to release an RFP in the coming months to develop the site with at least 125 units of affordable housing. Staff would utilize the 2022 RFP as a general framework and adapt it so that it is specific to the Gale Yard.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Beverly Hills City Council has held multiple public meetings in recent years to discuss affordable housing issues and the development of an affordable housing project on a property already owned by the City. The City Council has authorized City staff to pursue the development of an affordable project.
The following Request for Qualifications / Conceptual Proposals (RFQ/P) is being distributed to identify qualified development teams that are offering conceptual development programs that meet the City’s goals and objectives. The City will require the selected development team to undertake the following threshold activities:
1. Acquire the selected development site from the City in the form of a long-term ground lease.
2. Develop a senior citizen rental housing project in which 100% of the units are subject to long-term income and affordability covenants.
3. Manage and operate the completed project throughout the covenant period.
Development teams that can demonstrate the experience, capability, and creativity to successfully undertake this opportunity are invited to respond to this RFQ/P by outlining their:
1. Relevant experience;
2. Financial capabilities;
3. Conceptual development plans;
4. Conceptual financing and operation plans; and
5. Other information that will enhance the City’s ability to evaluate the development team.
Request for Qualifications –Affordable Housing Opportunity City of Beverly Hills
The pertinent actions and due dates related to this RFQ/P are as follows:
RFQ/P Release Date April 1, 2022
Notice of Intent to Respond Form Due Date April 15, 2022 by 4:00 p.m.
Deadline for Written Questions April 22, 2022 by 4:00 p.m.
Release of Final Responses to Written Questions April 29, 2022 RFQ/P Submittal Deadline June 2, 2022 by 4:00 p.m.
The selection process will consist of two phases. The first phase will involve the identification of a shortlist of the development teams based on the identified selection criteria. The second phase will involve interviews of each of the shortlisted teams with City’s evaluation committee. At the completion of the interview process, the City will conduct public outreach and make recommendations regarding the development to the City Council for consideration and direction.
If the City selects a development team, the next step in the process is for the City and the development team to enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with a term of six (6) months. Any extensions to that term will be subject to City Council approval in their sole discretion. During the ENA period the City staff and the development team representatives will negotiate the terms of a ground lease and an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA). If the negotiations are successful, the City staff will bring forward the draft ground lease and AHA for City Council consideration and action.
II. OVERVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
A. General Context
The City of Beverly Hills was incorporated in 1914, and it encompasses approximately 5.7 square miles. Beverly Hills has grown from a population of 550 in 1914 to 32,701 according to 2020 census data. Beverly Hills is a general law city with a City Council – City Manager form of government.
Beverly Hills encompasses approximately 5.7 square miles, and approximately 92% of the land area is residential in nature. Residential development in Beverly Hills can be divided roughly into the following areas:
1. The area to the north of Sunset Boulevard consists primarily of estate-style properties.
Request for Qualifications –Affordable Housing Opportunity City of Beverly Hills
2. The central area, located between Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevards, is characterized by large homes.
3. The area to the south of Santa Monica Boulevard consists largely of condominiums and apartment buildings along with smaller single family homes.
With numerous corporate headquarters, more than 200,000 people work in Beverly Hills each day. However, even with its world-class profile, Beverly Hills remains a small town at heart, proud of its neighborhoods, municipal services, fine schools, and community involvement.
B. Potential Development Sites
On a preliminary basis, the City has identified seven potential development sites. The sites are identified below, and descriptions are presented in Exhibit A:
9268 West 3rd Street
9298 West 3rd Street
336 Foothill Road
Alden Surface Parking Lot
8421 Wilshire Boulevard, Metro Staging Yard
327 South Robertson Boulevard
333 North Crescent Drive
The City owns numerous other properties throughout Beverly Hills. Upon request, the City will provide prospective proposers with a list that identifies the entire City-owned portfolio.
Proposers may choose to submit a proposal for any of these properties. The proposal should provide an explanation of how the City will recoup the opportunity costs associated with a proposal for any City-owned property outside of the seven identified potential development sites.
Zoning Designation and Development Standards
Prior to the transfer of the development site, the City will agree to modify the development standards to allow for the selected development scope to be implemented.1 For the purposes 1 Beverly Hills Municipal Code Article 13 of Chapter 1 of Title 1 states: “Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, no provision of this code shall apply to, direct, or restrict the city unless the provision specifically indicates that it is intended to apply to, direct, or restrict the city.” The City has previously invoked this provision for various projects that have been developed on City-owned properties.
Request for Qualifications –Affordable Housing Opportunity City of Beverly Hills
of responding to this RFQ/P, respondents should assume that the City’s existing development standards for senior/disabled housing in multifamily zones will be acceptable. These standards can be summarized as follows:
1. The maximum allowable building height is 60 feet.
2. The maximum density is 165 units per acre. 3. The base parking standard is one space per unit. However, this requirement can be reduced to .4 spaces per unit if an appropriate finding can be made by the City.
4. No more than 5% of the units in the project may include two bedrooms, and no unit in the project may include more than two bedrooms.
5. The following minimum unit sizes are applied by the existing development standards:
Unit Type
Minimum Size
(Square Feet)
Studio Units 415
One-Bedroom Units 540
Two-Bedroom Units 800
Respondents that wish to diverge from any of the identified development standards must submit the following information:
1. A narrative description of the proposed modifications to the identified development standards;
2. An explanation of why the proposed modifications are necessary; and
3. A description of how the proposed modifications will enhance the opportunity for the project to fulfill the City’s stated goals and objectives.
Project Amenities
It is the City’s objective to attract an apartment project dedicated to very low and low income senior citizens. In addition, the City would like the project to include public serving amenities such as a plaza or courtyard; ground floor retail space; and/or other amenities identified by the respondents.
