Council members voted to continue the public hearing on proposed amendments to the Torrance Municipal Code that would regulate tarps, canopies and pop-up structures on private property. The item was continued to the Dec. 2 council meeting so that absent members could participate in the hearing and any subsequent action.

No final action was taken; the motion to continue carried with the vote recorded as “that motion carries” with two absences. City staff and councilmembers indicated the continuance was to ensure a full council could review and vote on proposed code changes affecting private-property structures.
