Stop AT&T from building a cell phone tower in our community at 737 Washington Blvd. (atop The Best Western Hotel)

THE PROBLEM:

• The revenue collected for the cell tower does not benefit the community. The money goes into the pocket of The Best Western Hotel.
• The cell tower violates the height regulations outlined by the local ordinances protecting and preserving the beach community from exceedingly tall signs and structures.
• The facility will emit a steady 24/7 stream of  noise and microwave radiation to the surrounding area.
• The Venice / Marina del Rey area is unique. Businesses and residents share a common space. Thus, we need development that supports a common community vision and has everyones best interest in mind.
• The cell tower could potentially interfere with important coastal communications like L.A. County Sheriff’s, Lifeguard’s, and Fire Department.
• Washington Blvd. is already congested and has a lot of traffic. A cell tower will add to the congestion with maintenance trucks and workers.
• Real estate values in the immediate area will drop. People (especially in SoCal) pay attention to things like this.
• As community members we are all required to follow rules and regulations. Why should AT&T be an exception?
• Why should the concerns of AT&T outweigh the concerns of local residents and businesses?

PLEASE NOTE:

Many are residents have expressed health concerns regarding the tower and the microwave radiation that it will emit. Unfortunately, the FCC considers the data inconclusive. Thus, these arguments are not recognized. However frustrating this fact may be, we urge you to focus your complaints / concerns on the following issues:

1) Aesthetics 
2) Use 
3) Height
