Many Riviera residents have expressed concerns about noise resulting from flights in and out of the Torrance Airport. The Torrance City Council maintains a ban on touch-and-go flights at the Torrance Airport, while restricting low approaches and taxi-backs to weekday hours (10 AM – 6 PM). On Dec. 2, the Council adopted an ordinance amending the Torrance Municipal Code as related to enforcement of the Airport Ordinance by a vote of 7-0. This vote puts in place the amendment to the Municipal Code covering touch-and-go flights and noise and curfew violations that will hold violators accountable. It is now up to City staff to implement the measure.
