2. Special Events Resource Guide

INTRODUCTION
This report provides options for City Council consideration regarding a potential temporary allowance of short-term rentals (STRs) during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28). As the greater Los Angeles region prepares to host LA28, jurisdictions throughout the region are evaluating opportunities to accommodate increased visitor demand for temporary lodging, especially for national teams and members of their associated organizations. Given the anticipated increase in tourism and temporary housing demand associated with LA28, the City Council requested that staff evaluate potential options for temporarily modifying the City’s short-term rental regulations during the LA28 period, which would be approximately two months1. In addition to expanding lodging opportunities for visitors, a temporary short-term rental program could generate Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue to help offset costs associated with public safety, transportation management, code enforcement, and other City services during LA28. The increase in people staying in the city could provide broader economic benefits including greater economic activity at local businesses and increased sales tax revenue. This report presents several options for temporary short-term rental schemes for the City Council’s consideration. Should the City Council provide direction to pursue a temporary short-term rental program, staff would return with a proposed ordinance including specific operational restrictions to address potential concerns associated with a short-term rental program. 1 LA28 will be held from July 10, 2028, to July 30, 2028 (including group play events prior to the opening ceremony on July 14th). Following the Olympics, the 2028 Paralympic Games will be held from August 15, 2028, to August 27, 2028.

BACKGROUND
On July 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 25-O-2918 (Attachment 1) to prohibit short-term rentals and establish a minimum initial lease period of one year in all zones citywide. The ordinance was adopted in response to concerns regarding neighborhood compatibility, noise, parking, safety, housing availability, and the difficulty of enforcing the previous short-term rental regulations. The ordinance also established enhanced enforcement provisions and penalties for violations.

In addition to prohibiting short-term overnight stays, the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) prohibits rental of any residential property or portion thereof for parties, weddings, or events of any kind. Limited exceptions are provided for nonprofit and charity functions up to four times per year, as summarized in the Special Event Resource Guide (Attachment 2).

DISCUSSION
LA28 is expected to bring millions of visitors to the Los Angeles region. While hotels are anticipated to accommodate a substantial portion of this demand, local jurisdictions in the area are considering whether temporary short-term rental programs may help provide additional lodging opportunities. The Beverly Hills Conference and Visitors Bureau Board (BHCVB) and managers of the city’s largest hotels report that their properties are already sold out during LA28 due to full corporate buyouts, large room blocks, and hospitality holds. These properties represent the vast majority of hotel rooms in the city, and the remaining hotels are also reporting LA28 bookings.

Any short-term rental program during LA28 would need to carefully balance the demand for visitor accommodations with the City’s long-standing goals of preserving neighborhood character and minimizing impacts to residents. This report presents several options for creating short-term rental opportunities while seeking to address the concerns that resulted in the City’s short-term rental prohibition.

Depending on the policy direction provided by the City Council, these regulations could also help ensure that any temporary program remains limited in scope, is efficient to administer and enforce, and balances the demand for visitor accommodations with the protection of residential neighborhoods and quality of life.

The following temporary short-term rental options are presented for the City Council’s consideration and described in greater detail in the following sections:

1. Allow corporate or country house rentals; and/or

2. Allow short-term rentals for lodging purposes; and/or

3. Allow short-term rentals for parties and events.

Any one or combination of these options could be accompanied by additional restrictions and requirements to address potential impacts on the community and potentially generate additional revenue. These might include, but not be limited to:
• Minimum and maximum rental period;
• Registration and/or permit requirements with associated fees or surcharges; Meeting Date: August 11, 2026

Page 3 of 7 ends

• Special event permit requirements for parties and events; • Increased TOT rate (subject to voter approval);
• Maximum short-term rental permit cap citywide or by area of the city; • Minimum separation distance between short-term rental properties; • Designation of a local contact person for each rental property; and • Notification to adjacent property owners and occupants when a new short-term rental begins operating, certified by affidavit.

Policy Option #1: Allow Corporate or Country House Rentals Only Under this option, short-term rentals would be permitted only for LA28-related organizations and personnel occupying homes for lodging or LA28 activities2. Eligible users could include National Olympic Committees operating Country Houses, Olympic athletes and their families, Olympic sponsors, media organizations, corporate partners, and other Olympic-related entities. Traditional vacation rentals and rentals for nonOlympic visitors would remain prohibited. This approach would provide lodging opportunities for Olympic-related personnel, while minimizing potential neighborhood impacts commonly associated with short-term rentals.

Potential regulations:
• Occupancy and event attendance limits
• Valet and security requirements for parties and events Advantages:
• More predictable and controllable neighborhood impacts including noise, parking, and general nuisance
• Most consistent with the intent of the City’s existing ordinance to mitigate the negative impacts associated with short-term rentals
• Potentially easier to enforce than broader short-term rental programs, since there would potentially be fewer homes rented with this option • Provides lodging opportunities for LA28-related personnel Disadvantages:
• Provides fewer accommodations than a broader short-term rental program • May be difficult to determine and enforce who qualifies as a country, corporation, or LA28-related organization
• Benefits a limited number of visitors
• Would still require monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance with occupancy limits, event restrictions, and eligibility requirements Policy Option #2: Allow Short-Term Rentals for Lodging Purposes Only Under this option, short-term rentals would be permitted for any overnight tenant during LA28. Parties, special events, and similar gatherings would remain prohibited.

Potential regulations:
• Occupancy limits

• Prohibition of parties and events during rental period Advantages:
• Provides lodging opportunities for LA28 spectators, tourists, and personnel • May result in greater economic activity associated with LA28 tourism • Generates additional TOT revenue
Disadvantages:
• Increased traffic and parking impacts in residential neighborhoods due to the potential increase in the number of guests and homes rented with this option • May require additional City enforcement resources
• Potential for an increase in neighborhood complaints and/or enforcement actions • Event prohibition may be difficult to enforce
Policy Option #3: Allow Short-Term Rentals and Events
Under this option, short-term rentals would be permitted for parties and similar events.

This could be in addition to, or instead of, allowing short-term rentals for lodging.

Potential regulations:
• Occupancy and event attendance limits
• Limits on the number of events, and require City approval of events • Valet and security requirements for parties and events Advantages:
• Provides additional lodging and event opportunities for LA28 spectators and personnel
• May generate additional economic activity associated with LA28 tourism • Provides the most flexibility of all the options
Disadvantages:
• Highest potential neighborhood impacts
• Potential for increased traffic and parking impacts in residential areas • May require additional City enforcement resources
• Potential for an increase in neighborhood complaints and/or enforcement actions • Does not generate additional TOT revenue
Transient Occupancy Tax and Regulatory Business Permit Considerations In addition to determining whether temporary short-term rentals should be permitted, the City Council may wish to consider how the program would be funded and administered. A temporary short-term rental program would require additional resources for public safety, transportation management, code enforcement, and other City services during LA28.

Currently, the City imposes TOT as defined in BHMC § 3-1-303, at a rate of 14% of the rental rate, for stays 30 days and under. The tax is collected into the City’s General Fund and could potentially be used to offset some of the costs associated with implementing and administering this new program. TOT has been utilized for existing staff and resource costs for special programs in the past. The City Council may wish to consider whether temporary LA28 short-term rentals should:

Meeting Date: August 11, 2026

Page 5 of 7 ends

1. Remain subject to the existing 14% TOT;

2. Be subject to a new TOT rate during LA28; or

3. Be subject to a new LA28-specific surcharge or permit fee.

Any increase to the City’s TOT rate would require voter approval in accordance with applicable State law and could not be implemented solely through adoption of a temporary short-term rental ordinance alone. An increased TOT rate, if approved by the voters, or other legally authorized fees, such as a short-term rental application or permit fee, could offset costs associated with enforcement, transportation management, public safety, and other City services during LA28.

For comparison, Table 1 shows the current TOT percentage rates for nearby jurisdictions:

TABLE 1 – COMPARISON OF CURRENT TOT RATES
Jurisdiction Current TOT Percentage Rate
Beverly Hills 14%
Culver City 14%3
Los Angeles County (Unincorporated Areas) 12%
Los Angeles 14%
Malibu 15%
Santa Monica 17%
West Hollywood 16.5%4
Additionally, Table 2 provides hypothetical estimates of TOT revenue based on varying levels of short-term rental participation, assuming the City’s existing 14% TOT rate and an estimated average nightly rental rate. These estimates are intended for illustrative purposes and should not be interpreted as accurate revenue projections. Actual revenue could vary significantly based on market conditions and rental pricing in 2028, participation levels, and the duration of stays.

6 Average daily rents are based on research conducted using Costar market data and Airbnb listings observed in nearby jurisdictions for larger luxury single-family homes. LA28 could further increase demand for short-term rental accommodations and nightly rental rates. These estimates are provided solely to illustrate the potential range of TOT revenue that could be generated under various participation scenarios. 7 Assumes that each participating home is rented for a 14-night period for illustrative purposes only.

Prior to the City’s prohibition on short-term rentals, property owners or “hosts” were required to pay the applicable City Class E (Residential Property Rental) Business Tax and remit TOT. Compliance was largely self-reported, making enforcement and tax collection difficult to monitor. To improve compliance and streamline tax administration, the City could enter into voluntary collection agreements with short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb, allowing the platform to automatically collect and remit TOT on behalf of participating hosts. Many jurisdictions throughout the region currently utilize such agreements8to simplify administration, improve tax collection, and reduce the administrative burden on hosts and the City.

Additionally, Senate Bill (SB) 346 authorizes local agencies to adopt an ordinance to require short-term rental facilitators, such as Airbnb, to report the physical addresses of short-term rental listings, display applicable local business license numbers and TOT certifications on listings, and comply with local reporting requirements. It provides local agencies with additional tools to identify short-term rentals, improve compliance, and support enforcement of local registration and tax requirements. To utilize this authority, the City would need to adopt an ordinance implementing the provisions of SB 346, which could require platforms to submit reports as frequently as once a month9. If the City were to establish a temporary short-term rental program, these provisions would allow the City to identify, monitor, and track all active short-term rental listings and verify that these properties have paid all applicable taxes, fees, permits, and/or licenses.

The City could also establish a requirement for a regulatory business permit and/or associated fee for short-term rentals under BHMC § 4-1-101, in addition to requiring shortterm rental operators to obtain a Class E Business Tax Certificate and remit TOT. The regulatory business permit and Business Tax Certificate would be obtained and paid for by the property owner or operator, while the applicable Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) would be paid by the tenant and could be collected and remitted by the short-term rental platform. A regulatory business permit fee could be established to recover the costs of administering and enforcing the program. The fee could recover the costs associated with, including but not limited to, administering the program, application intake, completeness review, zoning verification, business license and tax registration verification, neighborhood notification (if applicable), inspections, permit issuance, and general administrative overhead. If adopted, a short-term rental regulatory business permit would be subject to the City’s existing regulatory provisions, including the ability to revoke or suspend a permit for violations of applicable laws, consistent with BHMC § 4-1-107.

Utilizing the City's existing regulatory permit framework would provide a clear enforcement mechanism for addressing violations and ensuring compliance with any future short-term rental regulations. In addition, the City Council could consider requiring a refundable security deposit as part of the permit application process to help ensure compliance with applicable regulations and to address potential violations or outstanding enforcement costs. While the City could establish a temporary short-term rental registration or permit program, this would not guarantee compliance. Enforcement needs would likely depend, in part, on the reporting and compliance mechanisms established with short-term rental 8 https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2297

platforms. The City also currently utilizes a third-party consultant to proactively monitor and track short-term rental listings across multiple online platforms, which could assist with identifying unregistered operators and supporting enforcement efforts. Even with these tools, additional monitoring and code enforcement may be necessary to identify unregistered operators and address violations, resulting in additional staffing and enforcement costs.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND NOTIFICATION
No noticing is required for a study session item. However, staff provided a courtesy notice to the interested parties list for Long Range Planning topics and the BHCVB.

PUBLIC COMMENT
As of the writing of this report, no comments have been received.

FISCAL IMPACT
This is an informational item with no associated fiscal impact. Should the City Council direct staff to prepare a temporary short-term rental ordinance, future fiscal impacts may include administrative, permitting, code enforcement, public safety, and transportation management costs. Permit and registration fees may need to be established to recover the City’s costs of administering the program, while Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) may generate additional General Fund revenue.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a study session and provide direction on the options presented for a temporary short-term rental program during LA28. If the City Council directs staff to prepare an ordinance for such a program, staff will present this item to the Planning Commission for recommendation, and to the City Council for adoption through the Zone Text Amendment process.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS

AMENDING SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS
(TRANSIENT USES) FOR SINGLE FAMILY AND

MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONES, AND MAKING A

DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)

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 “Transitional Housing and Supportive Housing” to address housing constraints on persons with disabilities; address the replacement housing requirements for the sites inventory of the Housing Element; and to amend emergency shelter regulations in compliance with state law; Section 2. On November 14, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to discuss the proposed Amendments to the BHMC pertaining to short term rentalregulations, also known as single-family and multi-family transient uses, after which it adopted Resolution No. 2076 recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed changes (collectively, the “Amendments”). On July 1, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance.

Section 3. The Amendments were assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA -1-
B0785-0001\3133014v4.doc
Guidelines, 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 certaintythat 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 construction and only involve revisions to existing standards and land use limitations for certain residential zones in the City. 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 1506 1(b)(3) and 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Section 4. The Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. The Housing Element of the General Plan includes Goal Hi — Maintenance and Conservation, which encourages the maintenance ofthe quality and character of existing housing and residential neighborhoods, and Policy Hi .5 — Conservation ofExisting Rental Housing calls for preventing the loss of existing residential units. Similarly, the Housing Element sets forth Goal H2 — Housing Supply and Diversity, which calls for the provision of a variety of housing types and adequate affordable housing supply. Goal H3 — Fair Housing and Special NeedsResidents promotes equal housing opportunities for all residents, especially persons with disabilities, homeless, and those at risk of homelessness. General Plan Land Use (LU) Policy 5.1-Neighborhood Conservation calls for the maintenance ofthe uses, densities, character, amenities,and quality of the City’s residential neighborhoods, recognizing their contribution to the City’s identity, economic value, and quality of life. Goals LU 6 — Single-Family Residential -2-
B0785-0001\3133014v4.doc
Neighborhoods and LU 7 — Multi-Family Residential Neighborhoods require that both singlefamily and multi-family neighborhood identities are maintained with regard to character, identity, and amenities. Amending sections of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to limit short term rental uses in residential zones will meet several of the stated objectives, standards, goals, and policies ofthe General Plan. The Amendments will further protect the identity ofresidential neighborhoods by prohibiting potentially adverse impacts and preserving housing opportunities for a range of household types, which will further the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, or general welfare.

Section 5. Section 1-2-1 (Application of Definitions) of Chapter 2 (Definitions) of Title 1 (General Provisions) of the BHMC is hereby amended to add a definition of Responsible Person in aiphabetatical order to read as follows:
“RESPONSIBLE PERSON: Any Person who in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, causes, maintains, permits, arranges, facilitates, aids and/or abets a violation of this code.
