Every Phase 1 project type for Beverly Hills, in one place.
Permit office: Beverly Hills Community Development — Building & Safety.
Plan-check timeline: 8–14 weeks typical residential; design review adds 4–8 weeks for any exterior change; OTC very limited.
Distinctive overlays: R-1 design-review on hillside lots, view-protection ordinance, Cultural Heritage Commission for landmarks, mansionization FAR caps, mandatory historic resource review for teardowns of any home > 45 years old.
Fee load: ~6–8% of valuation; design review fees significant.
Tier-A cost ceiling cases concentrate here.
Design-review timeline is the dominant cost driver, not the build itself.
