Wireless Communications Facility RPPL2016002040

The Wireless Communications Facility RPPL2016002040 project involves the construction, operation, and maintenance of a new wireless communications facility in unincorporated Ladera Heights, Los Angeles County. The project, applied for by Verizon Wireless and approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning, consists of a 50-foot-tall facility disguised as a utility pole with associated ground equipment. The facility is located in the public right-of-way at the southwest corner of Slauson Avenue and the southbound La Cienega Boulevard on-ramp. The primary objective is to enhance wireless communication services for the general public, local residences, businesses, and first responders. The project is situated within the R-3 Limited Density Multiple Residence Zone and is subject to discretionary review under the Los Angeles County Title 22 Planning and Zoning Code. It has been granted a Class 3 Categorical Exemption because the scope is small and does not pose a significant environmental impact. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237130. Key points of contact include Pauline Monroy of the Los Angeles County Regional Planning, Rob Searcy as Project Manager, and Michelle Brower representing Verizon Wireless.
