The Beverly Hills City Council will hold a public hearing Tuesday, Oct. 20, on proposed changes to the $10 billion One Beverly Hills project. The amendments would allow medical offices and nightly condo rentals in the development.

Under the proposed changes to the One Beverly Hills Overlay Specific Plan, outpatient medical and surgical care would be permitted in the project's Promenade area and open to the public, according to the council's meeting agenda. A new Residences Rental Program would let owners rent up to 44 of the luxury condominiums for stays as short as one night.

The developer is also seeking changes to its development agreement with the city tied to public benefit and fine art obligations. Staff recommended the council review an environmental addendum and direct staff to prepare a resolution or ordinance.

The Planning Commission unanimously recommended allowing outpatient medical and surgical uses on Aug. 27 but split 2-2 on the proposed rental program. Commissioners then voted 4-0 to forward a revised resolution reflecting those differing positions to the City Council.

The hearing drew dozens of public speakers.

One Beverly Hills, developed by Cain and Eldridge Industries on a 17.5-acre site next to the Beverly Hilton, broke ground in 2024 and has since begun vertical construction. The project includes two condominium towers of 28 and 31 stories, a 78-suite Aman hotel, roughly 200,000 square feet of commercial space and 10 acres of botanical gardens and open space, according to Urbanize LA. Construction is expected to wrap up in 2028, with some portions opening sooner.

Housing trust vote

The council will also vote on joining the Westside Cities Affordable Housing Trust, a joint powers authority recently formed by Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood. Staff recommended the council authorize the city's membership and allow the mayor to designate two council members as the city's board director and alternate.

A June 2026 stakeholder report prepared for the Westside Cities Council of Governments found that high land costs and limited subsidy funding are the primary barriers to affordable housing across all four cities. Beverly Hills stakeholders emphasized senior housing, preserving existing affordability and using city-owned land to meet state housing goals, according to the report.

Metro, traffic and spending

Other items on the Oct. 20 agenda include:

  • A staff recommendation that the council review and consider denying Metro's request to waive the holiday construction moratorium for Purple Line Section 2 work between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, or provide feedback on permit conditions.
  • Acceptance of a $79,000 state grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety for police overtime and sobriety enforcement.
  • An $853,381 contract with Angelus Waterproofing & Restoration for slab repairs at the 461 N. Bedford Drive parking structure.
  • A $250,000 appropriation for storm-preparation equipment rentals through PDQ Enterprises.
  • A participation agreement with the Clean Power Alliance that could bring up to $250,000 in funding for public electric vehicle charging stations.
  • Approval of the council's Legislative/Lobby Committee positions on Propositions 1, 43 and 45 ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.

The council will also honor former Public Works Director Shana Epstein with a proclamation recognizing her retirement from public service.

The next council meeting after Oct. 20 is scheduled for Nov. 10. Agenda packets are available at the City Clerk's Office, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Room 290, and at the library at 444 N. Rexford Drive.
