balance, taste, fitness, broad vistas, and high quality. Specifically, the project incorporates an appropriate
balance of color, high quality materials and appropriate architectural design principles to reinforce the
city’s urban form and promote the image of Beverly Hills.
B. The plan for the proposed building or structure indicates the manner in which the
structure is reasonably protected against external and internal noise, vibrations, and other factors which

using contemporary building materials and practices, and, as conditioned, compliant with all applicable
