The city council committee faced a standing room only crowd and heard testimony from between 35-40 residents on the issue of a tree/view ordinance at City Hall on Thursday, Jan. 14. Committee Chair Mike Griffiths acknowledged the interest and support for such an ordinance from the residents and asked the city staff members to research the Rolling Hills Estates tree ordinance as a possible model for Torrance.Griffiths and councilman Tim Goodrich stated that they thought there was a need for such an ordinance.
There will be a subsequent committee meeting, and then the issue will go before the city council. We do not have a date yet for those meetings, but will keep you posted.
