The City of Beverly Hills is looking forward to businesses reopening as quickly and safely as possible under California’s four-stage reopening plan.
The City of Beverly Hills and all of Los Angeles County are now in stage 3 of reopening.
OPEN BH: RESTAURANT AND BUSINESS REOPENING
#OpenBH is the City's process for allowing businesses to temporarily expand their services to adjacent areas such as parking lots, parking spaces (parklets), in front of neighboring vacant businesses, and the public right of way (sidewalks) through a Special Event Permit.
Please see below for all details, and email cbh-eventpermits@beverlyhills.org with any questions.
To complete an #OpenBH special event permit for outdoor business services (dining, fitness, salons, and more), applicants need to complete the following for administrative review by City staff:
- Special Event Permit Application
- Certificate of Insurance (COI), naming the City as additionally insured for $2M General Liability
- Layout that follows social distancing protocols with specific measurements labeled
- Copy of appropriate Appendix checklist (see below) from LA County Department of Public Health
- Written permission from neighboring business or landlord if expanding in front of other businesses
- Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Permit (if applicable)
All restaurants reopening for onsite dining, must follow the County's protocols (Appendix I). Additionally, they have provided a toolkit for additional help online here.
For questions, please call the Special Events Office at (310) 285-2408 from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday.
