Medical Use

The City has passed certain restrictions and requirements governing medical use facilities in Beverly Hills. 

Medical Overlay Zone

The medical use ordinance allows continued operation of existing, legal medical uses, but property owners wishing to add or expand medical use are required to apply for a medical use overlay zone for their property.

There is one exception: existing buildings that already have legal medical use may convert up to 6,000 square feet of commercial office use to medical use if certain conditions are met. The medical use ordinance requires owners of commercial buildings with existing medical use to register the building(s) with the City in order to take advantage of the exception to the Medical Overlay Zone.

Both the medical use overlay zone and the exception require certain parking requirements to be met and include prohibitions and restrictions on ground floor medical use.

Medical Use Overlay Zone applications will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council.

For additional information, or if you have specific questions, please contact a Planner at (310) 285-1141 or visit "Medical Use Regulations".

Fire Prevention Plan Review

  1. Complete a Plan Review & Permit Application 
  2. Submit your application to the City of Beverly Hills Community Development Department via email to cdpermits@beverlyhills.org and ask for electronic plan review services.
