Rancho Palos Verdes narrows wireless-code changes, seeks coverage information from carriers

City staff presented extensive proposed amendments to municipal code sections governing small wireless facilities in the public right-of-way and on private property; the council directed staff to return with revised ordinance language that balances improved coverage with local aesthetics and procedural safeguards. Key council directions included removing the mandatory master deployment plan while still seeking coverage information, retaining height and notification protections with limited discretionary exceptions, rejecting large equipment volumes, and requiring application fees before review.
