ADUs and Airport Noise – Up for Discussion

There are two important meetings coming up that will affect Riviera residents.
Please attend if you are concerned. This shows two things:
that you are aware and concerned, and that you want the council to take action.

MEETING #1

Tuesday December 6 — City Council meeting at City Hall, 3031 Torrance Blvd. in Council Chambers. 6:30 PM Item 10B on the agenda (late in the program).

A Public Hearing regarding the adoption of Urgent amendments to the Torrance Municipal Code regarding the regulation of ADUs and JADUs. These amendments are due to recent California legislation, specifically Bills AB2221 and SB 89, which were adopted into law and will go into effect on JANUARY 1, 2023.

They will allow ADUs (accessory dwelling units/granny flats) to be built in Torrance and IN THE HILLSIDE OVERLAY of up to 25′ HIGH for two-story structures and 16′ for single stories, REGARDLESS OF IMPACT OF VIEW, LIGHT, AIR AND PRIVACY.
