Protection of views taken to the city council
On the heels of last month’s general meeting, featuring a presentation on and discussion of a potential tree ordinance for the Riviera, RHA co-president Judy Brunetti and several others spoke up to the Torrance City Council on May 15 in support of a study to consider adopting such an ordinance – similar to one established in Rancho Palos Verdes and other nearby communities.
Thanks to all those who came out in support. No news yet on council action to follow up, but stay tuned for future developments. This won’t be easy, and will take a coordinated effort by Riviera residents and allies. If you’re interested in furthering the effort, or just to get more information, you may email president@hollywoodriviera.org at any time. We welcome your constructive suggestions.
