Verizon Wireless rooftop telecommunications facility
Long Beach
Description
Verizon gets to mount 20 antennas, 12 radio units, and a microwave dish on the 13-story hotel roof near the 405, unscreened because staff found that's the least visually intrusive option.
Impact summary
Better cell service for a busy waterfront area ahead of the Olympics, but neighbors near Elliott Street object to the tower's visibility and want a disguised design or different location.

Marine Advisory Commission - Special Meeting - Feb 12, 2026
Verizon proposes a 60-foot monopole at the Marine Stadium city yard and antennas on two existing light poles at the Alamitos Beach parking lot to close a coverage gap. It still needs city council and Coastal Commission approval, with construction possibly in fall 2027.
