MEMORANDUM
Date: April 6, 2026
To: Logan Phillippo – Real Property Development Manager, City of Beverly Hills From: Dave Ceppos – DMC Public Policy Mediation and Facilitation (Facilitator) Subject: Southeast Area Community Meeting – March 23, 2026 – Outcomes Summary Background
All local jurisdictions in California are required by the State of California (State) to develop affordable housing. In the case of the City of Beverly Hills (City), this amounts to a requirement to plan for and allow 3,104 affordable units in the City’s General Plan Housing Element. Absent an approach to achieve this in the Housing Element, the State (more specifically the Department of Housing and Community Development) has the latitude to not certify the City’s Housing Element of its General Plan. The implications of this outcome can include but not be limited to: severe legal, financial and planning consequences such as a loss of local land use authority, ineligibility for State funding, and exposure to legal actions by private parties. The City is also bound to various housing density conditions and associated land use restrictions, associated with State laws regarding land development near transit facilities.
In this context, the City has continued discussions about future use of the Gale Yard Staging Site (Gale Yard) which is owned by the City and was used to support construction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Purple Line - Wilshire / La Cienega subway station.
In March 2026, the City sought neutral, public engagement services (as a follow up to recent related discussions by the City Council and public engagement activities conducted in May and October 2022).
To support this, the City contracted with the Facilitator (Dave Ceppos). Mr. Ceppos was formerly the Director of Sacramento State’s, Consensus and Collaboration Program (CCP) and was the facilitator of record for the City’s October 2022 public forum as well as other unrelated public conversations on other City topics.
The recent forums (both City Council meeting and stand-alone public meetings) were held to ensure that extensive, balanced and meaningful outreach would take place to identify residents’ and nonresidents’ perspectives about future affordable housing, particularly as planned for the Southeast Area, Community Meeting Approach
Similar to the implemented approach used in 2022, the Facilitator recommended that public engagement about community preferences be informed and contextualized by past community input and be conducted in an “interest-based” approach of inquiry so that stakeholders feel less compelled to restate prior discussions and overarching desired outcomes and more inclined to advance input beyond what had already been stated
More specifically, the Facilitator advised that Southeast Area residents and interested parties have already provided recent input and four years prior. He similarly advised (as was also memorialized in a process summary prepared by CCP in October 2022) that “… absent a dialogue-based approach to have stakeholders speak to their interests, concerns, and perspectives about balancing competing needs, and similar, input from a subsequent public event would not effectively advance the public discourse and relevant information in a manner that would provide benefit to the City and Council decision-makers”.
The Facilitator recommended that this dynamic remained relevant for this new community event. In this context, the Facilitator recommended the following agenda items for the March 23, 2026, Community Meeting.
• Introductory comments by the City Mayor
• A Brief Presentation (delivered by the City Manager) about:
o State housing and land use statutes and regulations,
o City activities to manage homelessness and enhance public safety, and o Introduction of the Facilitator (whom she had previously worked with) • Focused community discussion moderated by the Facilitator with a focus on the following four questions:
1. What specific safety or quality-of-life issues do you feel exist in the Southeast Area?
2. What ideas do you have about other locations where the City can meet its State requirements for facilitating the development of affordable housing?
3. What specific policing ideas do you have about how these first responders do their work in the Southeast Area?
4. What ideas do you have to solve the challenge of parking in Southeast Area? Due to all five (5) City Councilmembers choosing to attend the Meeting, the Meeting was conducted as a Brown Act compliant special meeting of the City Council. The City Clerk conducted roll call of all councilmembers present, after which there was a required moment of public comment for items not on the Meeting Agenda. After those items, the Mayor made introductory comments and then stated that agenda item 1 (the focused discussion described above) would be facilitated by Mr. Ceppos) and that at the end of the Meeting, Mr. Ceppos would conclude his role and hand meeting oversight back to the Mayor to ensure an appropriate closure of the Brown Act compliant event.
Community Meeting Outcomes
As noted above, the Meeting was held on March 23, 2026, starting at 6:00 pm. It was conducted in the community room of the La Cienega Community Center and simultaneously on the Zoom online meeting platform (online meeting), with online participation integrated into the in-person meeting. The meeting recording is available at:
https://beverlyhills.granicus.com/player/clip/10738?view_id=49&redirect=true Over 115 residents and interested parties attended the Meeting with the predominant number of attendees participating in person (excluding City staff and the Facilitator).
Following the brief presentations listed above and using the focused questions, the Facilitator moderated the Meeting. Through the course of the Meeting, 35 attendees provided verbal comments with an additional 9 attendees providing written input at the meeting and 2 people providing written input prior to the meeting which were read into the Meeting record Outcomes Summary
The following represents an independent analysis of participant input from the Meeting. It reflects the assessment and best professional judgement of the Facilitator only. It should be noted that given the number of participants at the Meeting, the breadth of input at times expanded beyond the stated and anticipated focus of the Meeting (re; affordable housing at the Gale Yard property). The following input reflects this broad range of outcomes, beyond the four questions the Facilitator had prepared and attempted to focus participants’ attention on.
By a qualitative assessment, the following topics were raised (in descending order of frequency) • Quality of Life
• Public Health, Safety and Wellbeing
• Affordable Housing
• Parking
• Southern California Edison Company (regarding recent power outages and power grid infrastructure challenges)
Quality of Life – Regarding this topic, while it was the more frequent overarching topic, the discussion and comments reflect a diverse range of experiences and desires residents have. Topics included (in qualitative order of number of comments):
o Traffic: Diver speeds, driver cut throughs and lack of compliance with local residential street rules, signal timing and the impact that has on traffic accumulation. o Street Conditions: Ongoing construction sites that impede traffic flow, The lack of pleasant streetscape and the visual impact that has on the community appearance due to a lack of visual continuity, General disrepair of median conditions, Street trees conditions re; health and maturity, and General street scape appearance that feels inconsistent with the stature of a city like Beverly Hills
o Economic Development / Commercial Revitalization: Desire for family friendly businesses and investment in Southeast Area. Walkable and inviting streets. o School System: Concern expressed about current school capacity and potential overcrowding as a result of population increase associated with new affordable housing. o Internet Connectivity: Concern expressed about promised fiber optic line replacement not being completed.
o Community Engagement and Districting: One speaker noted support for this type of community meeting and suggested similar meetings in the future. Some noted that the southwest or south in general should also have similar meetings. Two speakers stated a desire for district representation.
o La Cienega Park Lighting: A speaker raised concerns about inadequate lighting at La Cienega Park, noting that current conditions make it difficult to safely use the park after dark.
Public Health, Safety and Wellbeing (in qualitative order of number of comments) o Metro Station – Residents repeatedly raised the last stop concern (loitering after last trains), kiosk/staffing gaps, and whether Metro service officers and CCTV will function during outages. There is anxiety about people dispersing into adjacent neighborhoods at night.
▪ Suggested next steps: coordinate with Metro on staffing schedules, clarify arrest/authority of station officers, publish a night time safety plan (rideshare pickup design, lighting, and loitering mitigation).
o Public Safety and Enforcement: Comments request more police patrols, motorcycle visibility, crossing guards, enforcement of dark windshields laws, and better CCTV coverage (including backup power). There is both praise for Police & Fire and concern about whether staffing will meet future demand.
▪ Suggested next steps: map patrol coverage vs. new housing locations, evaluate CCTV backup power options, and publish a plan for after hours station coverage. o Emergency Response: A small number of speakers addressed concerns about how emergency rooms are prepared for additional cases and the general impacts that traffic have on emergency response time.
o Terrorism Threat: One speaker asked whether the City Police Department has plans in place if the City were an attack target
o Homelessness. A small number of speakers expressed concerns about homeless encampments, and squatters in vacant storefronts
Affordable Housing (in qualitative order of number of comments) o City Process: Multiple comments express frustration with unmet promises and a sense that the Southeast is only engaged around election time. Calls for more frequent forums, clearer timelines, and published responses to comments. Strong desire to see and comment on the planned Request for Proposals the City is expected to release for affordable housing proposal ideas.
▪ Suggested next steps: publish a one page “what we heard / what we will do” response and commit to a regular update cadence for the South area. o Affordable Housing Options / Impacts: Comments focused on project scale, potential strain on infrastructure (water, pipes, power), parking, school overcrowding, and the desire for more age in place / senior housing options. Several speakers asked for more public review (not ministerial approvals) and for the City to consider alternatives or off-site development where costs are lower.
▪ Suggested next steps: prepare a short impact memo (traffic, utilities, schools, emergency services) for the largest projects and schedule additional focused public forums.
Parking and Pedestrian Safety
o Parking and Pedestrian Safety Conditions: Concerns were raised about parking shortages related to local events and increased population, requests to restore dedicated parking enforcement officers, and traffic issues (speeding, cut throughs, signal timing, right turn on red) were repeatedly mentioned. Additional concerns were raised regarding pedestrian crossings, including near La Cienega Park.
▪ Suggested next steps: analyze event parking enforcement options, consider targeted permit parking on affected streets, allowing residents to use two-hour street parking after hours, crosswalk enhancements or crossing guards near the park, and commission a short traffic signal/timing review at the highest concern intersections.
Southern California Edison Company
o Power Outages: Several concerns were raised about recent power outages and their impacts on daily life and safety. Concerns were raised about aging pipe infrastructure and related impacts to public health (medical device users, food safety). Questions were raised about police presence during outages.
▪ Suggested next steps: compile a prioritized list of outage impacts, coordinate with Edison and utilities on upgrade timelines, and create a registry/process for medically vulnerable residents.
Meeting Conclusion
On completion of the facilitated portion of the meeting, the Facilitator provided thanks and closing comments, and then transitioned management and closure of the Meeting back to the Mayor who adjourned the event at approximately 9:00 pm.

Table of Community Comments
Category Description of Comments City Action
1.1 Traffic Driver speeds, driver cut throughs and
lack of compliance with local residential
street rules, signal timing and the impact
that has on traffic accumulation.
The City has a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
(NTCP) that is resident-initiated and has been
publicized citywide with information available on the
City's website (beverlyhills.org) or by contacting AskBH (310-285-1000). In the most recent approximately two
years, 16 applications for traffic calming in Southeast Area have been processed. The City has conducted a
multi-year pilot project on Clifton Way to reduce cutthrough traffic and speeding. The elements used on Clifton Way are available for residents to consider
supporting the NTCP.
With regard to enforcement, traffic and motorcycle units have been performing additional speed and stop sign
enforcement operations in the area of Carson from
Wilshire to Gregory.
Signal timing and coordination is routinely reviewed and adjusted, especially when conditions change such
when significant development or construction projects
occur.

Category Description of Comments City Action
1.2 Street
Conditions
Ongoing construction sites that impede
traffic flow, the lack of pleasant
streetscape and the visual impact that
has on the community appearance due
to a lack of visual continuity, general
disrepair of median conditions, street
trees conditions re; health and maturity,
and general street scape appearance
that feels inconsistent with the stature of
a city like Beverly Hills
Large development projects often necessitate lane
closures, and the City reviews all construction traffic control plans to minimize impacts to residents and the
traveling public. With resident and business input, the City adopted the Connect Beverly Hills Streetscape Plan for Wilshire and La Cienega Boulevards
(beverlyhills.org/959/Connect-Beverly-Hills).
The City also has a well-funded Urban Forest Program to maintain and grow the tree canopy
(beverlyhills.org/974/Trees-Urban-Forestry).
The La Cienega median will be reconstructed with
improved aesthetic design. It is expected to begin later this year and completed in early 2027.
1.3 Economic
Development/
Commercial
Revitalization
Desire for family friendly businesses and
investment in Southeast Area. Walkable
and inviting streets.
As referenced in Item 1.2 to this table, the City has
adopted the Connect Beverly Hills Streetscape Plan for
Wilshire and La Cienega Boulevards
(beverlyhills.org/959/Connect-Beverly-Hills). With the
opening of La Cienega Station on May 8, 2026, the City
will assess pedestrian volume. The City also owns the
Clock Market property one block from the station and,
once the existing lease expires, will assess options to lease to a future business that will help to activate the area. The City also has a Mixed Used ordinance that
could promote walkable and inviting streets by allowing both residential and commercial uses on several streets in the Southeast Area including Wilshire, La Cienega,
Robertson, and Olympic.

1.4 School System Concern expressed about current school capacity and potential overcrowding as a
result of population increase associated
with new affordable housing.
The Beverly Hills Unified School District operates
separately from the City, and BHUSD representatives
were present at the meeting. While State-mandated
requirements for affordable housing and increases to
density in zoning will likely result in population
increases in Beverly Hills, the composition of new
households along with other regional and national
trends could impact future enrollment in a variety of
ways. Enrollment data and strategic planning will
continue to be monitored by BHUSD. Approximately 15
cents of every property tax dollar goes to the school
district, and any new development will result in an
increase to property taxes and the amount received by
the school district. In addition, all new residential
development is required to pay school impact fees
which provide direct funding to the school district for constructing or enhancing facilities to accommodate
increased enrollment.
1.5 Internet
Connectivity
Concern expressed about promised fiber
optic line replacement not being
completed.
Fiber data connections are provided to residents and
businesses through private telecommunications
carriers such as AT&T and Spectrum. A former City fiber project completed two phases and extended the City's a
municipal area network serving City operations. Due to
the substantial costs of establishing connections to
individual properties and providing appropriate ongoing service operations, the City did not move forward with
additional phases.

2.1 Metro Station Residents repeatedly raised the last stop concern (loitering after last trains),
kiosk/staffing gaps, and whether Metro
service officers and CCTV will function
during outages. There is anxiety about
people dispersing into adjacent
neighborhoods at night.
Southeast Area Stakeholder
suggestions: coordinate with Metro on
staffing schedules, clarify
arrest/authority of station officers,
publish a night time safety plan
(rideshare pickup design, lighting, and
loitering mitigation).
Two additional police officers on a daily basis have been assigned to the beat and area surrounding La Cienega
station.
CCTV can be impacted by power outages. When this
occurs, the Police Department adds special watches to
the areas impacted.
The Real Time Watch Center (RTWC), including Virtual
Patrol Officers (VPO) and drones, is an ongoing and
expanding resource that will continue to support
community safety. Along with additional officers, the
City is providing added Beverly Hills Outreach Team
(BHOT) resources and dedicated private security
specifically for response at La Cienega Station and
surrounding areas. These measures are in addition to
the 24/7 presence of the Los Angels Police Department
and Metro Security at the station.
Arrest authority remains with sworn police officers
(BHPD and LAPD.) Community Service Officers, private
security, and metro security will support these efforts.

Table of Community Comments
Category Description of Comments City Action
2.2 Public Safety
and
Enforcement
Comments request more police patrols,
motorcycle visibility, crossing guards,
enforcement of dark windshields laws,
and better CCTV coverage (including
backup power). There is both praise for
Police & Fire and concern about whether
staffing will meet future demand.
Southeast Area Stakeholder
suggestions: map patrol coverage vs.
new housing locations, evaluate CCTV
backup power options, and publish a
plan for after hours station coverage.
Additional beat officers were added as part of
preparation measures for the opening of La Cienega
Station. The City has also increased traffic enforcement measures, including police motorcycles. Enforcement
of dark/tinted windows will be included as part of traffic enforcement. The City has added a CCTV camera near
Charleville and Carson, an area of concern identified
during the Southeast Area Community Meeting.
2.3 Hospital
Emergency
Response
A small number of speakers addressed
concerns about how emergency rooms
are prepared for additional cases and the
general impacts that traffic have on
emergency response time.
Cedars ED is aware of Metro opening and all personnel
have been notified. As part of their current operations, they have a standing contingency plan for uptick in ED
patients.
2.4 Terrorism Threat One speaker asked whether the City Police Department has plans in place if
the City were an attack target.
Yes. The City has plans in place. The City is constantly engaged in monitoring threats, including with local,
regional, and federal partners.
2.5 Homelessness A small number of speakers expressed
concerns about homeless
encampments, and squatters in vacant
storefronts.
The Human Services division of the Fire Department is
conducting direct outreach to businesses in the
surrounding area regarding encampment prevention.
Businesses are advised to complete trespass
authorization forms, which allow the BHPD to enforce
trespassing issues on private property after business
hours when properties have few staff on site to monitor.
After-hours security measures are in place.

2.6 Community
Engagement
and Districting
One speaker noted support for this type
of community meeting and suggested
similar meetings in the future. Some
noted that the southwest or south in
general should also have similar
meetings. Two speakers stated a desire
for district representation.
The City routinely hosts community engagement
sessions on a variety of topics to solicit input from
residents and businesses and provides notice through a
variety of channels including physical mail, email, local newspapers, and social media. The proximity of the
Southeast Area Community Meeting to the opening of La
Cienega Station was one factor encouraging turnout.
Future meetings can take place depending on
community interest and circumstances. Stakeholders
are encouraged to sign up for various interest lists
online (beverlyhills.org/notifyme).
2.7 La Cienega Park
Lighting
A speaker raised concerns about
inadequate lighting at La Cienega Park,
noting that current conditions make it
difficult to safely use the park after dark.
The Public Works Department is improving park lighting
by trimming tree limbs around light poles, cleaning the light fixture glass domes, and replacing existing bulbs with brighter, energy-efficient LED fixtures. Additional lighting enhancements are also being considered to
further improve visibility and safety. Street lighting
levels were immediately adjusted based on input from
the Southeast Area Community Meeting with all
residential streets increased to 75% brightness (from
50%) and arterials increased to 100%.

Category Description of Comments City Action
3.1 City Process Multiple comments express frustration
with unmet promises and a sense that
the Southeast is only engaged around
election time. Calls for more frequent
forums, clearer timelines, and published
responses to comments. Strong desire to
see and comment on the planned
Request for Proposals the City is
expected to release for affordable
housing proposal ideas.
Southeast Area Stakeholder
suggestions: publish a one page "what
we heard / what we will do" response and
commit to a regular update cadence for
the South Area.
As a follow-up to the Southeast Area Community
Meeting, the City Council is discussing the issues
identified at the May 19, 2026, Formal Session and this table tabulates the items and associated City action.
Regarding the future Request for Proposals (RFP) for
development of the Gale Yard at 8401 Wilshire, the City is currently completing additional due diligence on the property to inform an RFP. A sample RFP will be
presented for residents to review and provide
comment/input.
3.2 Affordable
Housing
Options/
Impacts
Comments focused on project scale,
potential strain on infrastructure (water,
pipes, power), parking, school
overcrowding, and the desire for more
age in place / senior housing options.
Several speakers asked for more public
review (not ministerial approvals) and for
the City to consider alternatives or offsite development where costs are lower.
Southeast Area Stakeholder
suggestions: prepare a short impact
memo (traffic, utilities, schools,
emergency services) for the largest
projects and schedule additional focused
public forums.
Significant development projects are required to
analyze their impacts to the water and sewer systems,
with City staff independently reviewing those findings
and requiring developers to fund any necessary
upgrades. Additionally, the City is planning a
comprehensive capacity study to assess the collective
effect of anticipated development in the Southeast Area on water and sewer systems. The study will inform the
development of a potential infrastructure impact fee
program to ensure new development pays its
proportionate share of any capacity improvements
required due to future development.

Parking and Pedestrian Safety
4.1 Parking and
Pedestrian
Safety
Conditions
Concerns were raised about parking
shortages related to local events and
increased population, requests to restore
dedicated parking enforcement officers,
and traffic issues (speeding, cut
throughs, signal timing, right turn on red)
were repeatedly mentioned. Additional
concerns were raised regarding
pedestrian crossings, including near La
Cienega Park.
Southeast Area Stakeholder
suggestions: analyze event parking
enforcement options, consider targeted
permit parking on affected streets,
allowing residents to use two-hour street
parking after hours, crosswalk
enhancements or crossing guards near
the park, and commission a short traffic
signal/timing review at the highest
concern intersections.
The Public Works Department will conduct a study of offstreet parking inventory (both public and privately owned) and will explore options based on study results.
Additionally, as referenced in Item 1.1 of this table, the City has adopted Neighborhood Traffic Calming
Program (NTCP) and Preferential Parking Permit
Program, both of which are resident-initiated and have
been publicized citywide with information available on
the City's website (beverlyhills.org) or by contacting
AskBH. In the most recent approximately two years, 16
applications for traffic calming in Southeast Area have been processed. As also referenced in Item 1.1 of this
table, signal timing and coordination is routinely
reviewed and adjusted, especially when conditions
change such when significant development or
construction projects occur.
With respect to restoration of dedicated parking
enforcement officers, over the course of Metro
construction traffic control officers (TCOs), which also enforce parking, were present in the area as part of a
plan to mitigate the impacts of Metro construction.
These officers were paid for by Metro. Reimbursement
for these services have reduced and terminated with the completion of this construction. There are TCOs
assigned to this area, and special enforcement details
will be increased based on patterns and
complaints/input received.

5.1 Power Outages Several concerns were raised about
recent power outages and their impacts
on daily life and safety. Concerns were
raised about aging pipe infrastructure
and related impacts to public health
(medical device users, food safety).
Questions were raised about police
presence during outages.
Southeast Area Stakeholder
suggestions: compile a prioritized list of
outage impacts, coordinate with Edison
and utilities on upgrade timelines, and
create a registry/process for medically
vulnerable residents.
The Public Works Department will continue to advance
water pipeline replacement projects citywide,
prioritizing aging distribution mains to reduce the risk of outages compounding existing infrastructure
vulnerabilities and service disruptions. Public Works
will also continue its proactive leak detection program to identify and address pipeline deficiencies before they escalate into emergency conditions. Public Works will
continue to liaise with Southern California Edison (SCE) on upgrades to infrastructure.
