Short Term Rentals Ordinance (Ordinance No. 25-O-2918)

The City of Beverly Hills is implementing Ordinance No. 25-O-2918, which amends short term rental regulations for transient uses across all single family and multifamily residential zones citywide. The primary objective of this legislative action is to modify existing standards and land use limitations for permitted uses in residential zones, imposing stricter standards to protect public health, safety, and welfare. This ordinance focuses on regulatory amendments and does not authorize any construction activities. Under the direction of Principal Planner Chloe Chen, the city has determined that the ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This determination is based on CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, as the changes constitute minor alterations in land use regulations with no potential for significant adverse environmental effects.
