Beverly Hills City Council Places Beverly Hilton Revitalization Plan on the November 4, 2008 Ballot
Beverly Hills, CA – The Beverly Hills City Council voted unanimously to place the Beverly Hilton Revitalization Plan on the November ballot, allowing for a city-wide vote on the project. Located at Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards, the proposed project would include a Waldorf=Astoria Hotel, condominium units and gardens.
The Council’s vote came in response to a referendum petition against the City Council’s May 12, 2008 vote to approve the project. The Council’s latest action requests that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors place the Beverly Hilton Revitalization Plan before the citizenry on the November 4th ballot in conjunction with the upcoming general election.
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s Office examined the referendum petition against the resolution entitled ‘Resolution of the City of Beverly Hills Amending the General Plan to Enable the Revitalization of the Beverly Hilton Hotel Site With a New Luxury Hotel, Condominiums and Open Space’ (Resolution No. 08-R-12601) and on June 25, 2008 determined the petition had a sufficient number of valid signatures to qualify the petition for filing.
