Resolution for Use of Annenberg Beach House with French National Olympic Committee

The City of Santa Monica has authorized temporary waivers from specific provisions of its Municipal Code to permit the French National Olympic Committee to utilize the Annenberg Beach House as an interactive broadcast and event space during the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. This arrangement is scheduled to run from June 30, 2028, through August 4, 2028, and is intended to support France’s Olympic communications and public engagement efforts on-site. The waivers are necessary to accommodate the unique operational needs of the committee while ensuring compliance with local regulations is balanced against the international significance of the event. The initiative is being managed by the City of Santa Monica, with Rachel Kwok, Environmental Planner, listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The facility’s use during this window represents a strategic partnership to enhance the Olympic experience in Santa Monica, leveraging the Annenberg Beach House’s prominent coastal location for global visibility. All activities will be confined to the specified dates, and the temporary nature of the use means no permanent alterations to the property or its governing policies are expected. The resolution was forecasted on June 4, 2026, signaling planning and preparation by city officials well in advance of the Games.
