Lomita : Guest-House Controls
Acting on a Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council asked the city attorney this week to prepare an urgency ordinance to halt issuance of permits for guest-house construction, pending adoption of stricter controls.

In another action, the council appointed 24-year resident Jack Mackel, a general contractor, to a four-year term on the Parks and Recreation Commission.
