San Diego County’s victory at the U.S. Supreme Court level, validating its wireless ordinance, has prompted Los Angeles residents to ask city officials for stricter regulation of wireless installations. Councilmembers Bill Rosendahl and Eric Garcetti co-sponsored a motion to have the City Attorney review Los Angeles’ Above Ground Facility Ordinance in light of the standing Ninth Circuit Court decision in Sprint v. County of San Diego.
Meanwhile, Hollywood residents opposed to a cell site installation in their neighborhood have petitioned 4th District Councilmember Tom LaBonge to “consider a wireless Moratorium (a temporary ‘time out’ like they have done in Glendale, Pasadena and other cities) to allow time to study the issue and draft or revise a/the Wireless Ordinance to provide the strongest protections for citizens allowed under state and federal laws.”
Residents organized after learning of an approved 9-panel T-Mobile cell site permit for installation on the roof of the 7100 Hillside Avenue apartments.
