BEVERLY HILLS—On Monday, January 5, the city of Beverly Hills announced that it is updating the Open Space Element—a document that guides how we care for parks, green spaces, and natural resources in our city.

The draft updated Open Space Element will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 8, 2026, and the Beverly Hills City Council at a future hearing.

A recent state law, SB 1425, requires that the Open Space Element is updated by January 1, 2026, and includes analysis related to equity, climate resilience, and rewilding/preservation.

Individuals can email longrange@beverlyhills.org or visit www.beverlyhills.org/OpenSpaceElement for more information.
