The ultimate goal is to create a livable environment for all. In pursuit of this objective, the City of Torrance is continuously seeking ways to enable pilots to use the airport while minimizing noise pollution in the community.   What is being done?   Removal of Article 15 of the City Charter The November Election ballot will have the Council supported Charter Amendment that includes removing the Airport Fund from the City Charter to keep it consistent with all other funds, which are not listed in the City Charter. The Airport Fund is not being eliminated from the City’s budget. If approved by voters, the Finance Department will administer the Airport Fund as it does with all other funds in the budget such as the General Fund, Capital Improvement, Transit, Sewer, Water and other Enterprise funds. There will be no changes to the budget, budget process, or airport operations as a result of this proposed Charter Amendment.   Land Use Study On January 23, 2024, the City Council reviewed  Item 9B , examining the feasibility of conducting a Land Use Study to evaluate the Torrance Municipal Airport – Zamperini Field for its 'highest and best' use. Following extensive discussions and public input, the City Council made the decision to formally accept and file the report, opting  against initiating a land use study at this time . The Council acknowledged the ongoing significance of the Torrance Municipal Airport – Zamperini Field as a valuable asset to the City. Their current focus is directed towards enhancing the equilibrium of airport operations, by working towards ensuring a harmonious coexistence between the local residents and airport users.   Landing Fees Effective February 1, 2024, A landing fee shall be charged to any individual or entity landing an aircraft at Torrance Airport. Landing Fee of $3.00 per 1,000 pounds, for all aircraft weights, with a minimum charge of $6.00 per landing. Military, public safety, and medical operations shall be exempt from landing fees.  Landings on private helipads that are operated and maintained by a leaseholder pursuant to a lease with the City of Torrance shall be exempt from landing fees.  Aircraft shall include both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft for purposes of assessing landing fees.  For further information, contact Airport Administration at  [email protected] or call 310-784-7900.   Noise Study The City’s noise study commenced in September 2023 and was completed within December 2023. The goal of the noise study was to conduct a detailed analysis to determine if and where additional noise monitors would be of benefit to the community. The results of the noise study along with recommendations to the noise monitoring program was presented to the City Council on February 6, 2024. The City Council voted to remain status quo, with no changes to be made to the existing noise monitoring system. For additional details related to the Noise Study, please see theNoise Studysection further below.   Touch and Go’s, Reduced Days/ Hours for Taxi Back, Low Approach Effective March 8, 2024, touch (and stop) and go landing are prohibited. Additionally, taxi backs and low approaches are limited to 10:00 am – 6:00 pm, Monday – Friday. Taxi backs and low approaches are prohibited on City observed holidays and all other hours, unless in the event of an emergency or directed by the FAA- Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). Violation of these regulations will result in the issuance of a Notice to Appear before the City’s Administrative Hearing Board. For further information on training operations, please contact Noise Abatement staff at [email protected] or by phone at (310) 784-7950.   Phase out of Leaded Gas Staff continues to have discussions with airfield fuel providers to bring unleaded aviation fuel to their existing fuel tanks.

RFP closed September 4, 2025. Staff is reviewing the proposals. The Airport remains open for overnight operations.
