Council directs staff to draft municipal code revisions to improve wireless coverage
Summary
The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council directed staff to prepare a draft revised municipal ordinance aimed at facilitating installation of wireless facilities in the public right-of-way and on private property to address poor cell coverage, City Manager Arm Miran said.
The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on Feb. 17 directed staff to return with a draft revised municipal ordinance intended to facilitate increased installation of wireless telecommunication facilities after councilmembers heard reports of poor cell service across the city, City Manager Arm Miran said.
Miran said the proposed revisions would address regulations governing wireless infrastructure located both in the public right‑of‑way and on private property. “The measures are intended to ensure local regulations remain consistent with evolving state and federal laws while also balancing community aesthetics, neighborhood character and the need for reliable wireless service,” he said.
According to the update, the council and staff have been working with wireless carriers on potential amendments; the transcript does not provide draft ordinance text or indicate a council vote on any code change. Council direction was procedural: staff were asked to return with a draft for future council consideration. Meeting materials and the recording are available on RPVTV, YouTube and the city’s website at rpvca.gov.
