Torrance city staff will report back to city council on Wed. October 4, with their new, revised draft ordinance. They have been charged by council to include an Advisory Opinion from a city representative as part of the process, recommend fees, and write an ordinance that resembles the one in Rolling Hills Estates. They have also been told to develop a plan to implement the ordinance step by step in different neighborhoods, rather than have it start in all areas of the Hillside Overlay at once.
For a refresher course on the ordinance, its history, and prospects, attend our General Meeting this Wednesday September 21 from 7:00 PM at Richardson Middle school featuring Torrance Councilman Kurt Weideman, who will discuss the Hillside Ordinance and how it affects Hollywood Riviera homeowners.
We need a fair, legally binding process to resolve view disputes between tree owners and view seekers. This is the time to do it!! We encourage all homeowners to attend the Oct 4 city council meeeting and express your own views.
