GENERAL PLAN FACTS


What are the Step One Amendments to the General Plan?  On May 27, 2009 the City Council endorsed a change in completing the general plan update.  The City Council’s approach amends the City’s existing general plan rather than adopts a new document.  Under this approach, amendments that have broad community support proceed forward for adoption (Step One), while amendments relating to density and scale of development continue to be discussed by the community (Step Two).  [More]

What is the General Plan?  The General Plan is the general guidance document that sets forth the vision of how the City will look and develop.  The General Plan provides guidance for (1) Maintaining community and neighborhood character, (2) Managing the City’s Infrastructure, (3) Protecting and conserving resources, (4) Defining policies for land use and zoning.

Why are we updating the plan?  The City of Beverly Hills existing General Plan was last revised in the 1970's.  Since that time a lot has happened in and around the City and in order for the general plan to continue to represent the community's vision, while also addressing requirements from the State of California, the plan needs to be revised.
