APPENDIX A
COMMUNICATION
TOWER PROTOCOLS
COMMUNICATION TOWER PROTOCOLS
This Appendix establishes the procedural standard that applies to proponents of antenna systems and
identifies the Town's development and design standards for antenna systems and communication towers.
1
Applicability
The federal Minister of Industry is the approval authority for the development and operation of antenna
systems, pursuant to the Radiocommunication Act. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada
recognizes the importance of considering input from local Land Use Authorities and the public regarding the
installation and modification of antenna systems and encourages land use authorities to establish a local
protocol to manage the process of identifying and conveying concerns, questions and preferences to the
proponent of an antenna system and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
The protocol established here applies to any proposal to install or modify a telecommunication,
radiocommunication or broadcast antenna system within the Town of Coronation which is not excluded from
the consultation requirements established by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada in Client
Procedures Circular CPC-2-03 (or subsequent/amended publications). Proponents of excluded antenna systems
are nevertheless encouraged to contact the Town to discuss the proposal and identify any potential issues or
concerns and give consideration to the Town's development and design standards.
2
Antenna Systems Siting Protocol Exclusion List
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada has determined that certain antenna structures are
considered to have minimal impact on the local surroundings and do not require consultation with the local
Land Use Authority or the public. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's publication,
Radiocommunication and Broadcast Antenna Systems CPC-2-0-03 lists the types of antenna installations
exempted from the requirement to consult with the local Land Use Authority and the public. The installations
listed in CPC-2-03 are therefore excluded from the Town's Telecommunication Tower Siting Protocol, which
currently include:
-
maintenance of existing radio apparatus including the antenna system, transmission line, mast,
tower or other antenna-supporting structure;
-
addition or modification of an antenna system (including improving the structural integrity of its
integral mast to facilitate sharing), the transmission line, antenna-supporting structure or other
radio apparatus to existing infrastructure, a building, water tower, etc. provided the addition or
modification does not result in an overall height increase above the existing structure of 25
percent of the original structure's height;
-
maintenance of an antenna system's painting or lighting in order to comply with Transport
Canada's requirements;
-
installation, for a limited duration (typically not more than 3 months), of an antenna system that
is used for a special event, or one that is used to support local, provincial, territorial or national
Town of Coronation Land Use Bylaw# 2021- 684
Page 105 of 106
emergency operations during the emergency, and is removed within 3 months after the
emergency or special event; and
-
new antenna systems, including masts, towers or other antenna-supporting structure, with a
height of less than 15 m above ground level.
Proponents who are not certain if their proposed structure is excluded, or whether consultation may still be
prudent, are advised to contact the Town office or Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada for
guidance.
3
Municipal Review and Issuance of Concurrence or Non-Concurrence
(a) The Town Council shall be responsible for reviewing and issuing municipal concurrence or non-
concurrence for all antenna system proposals within the Town which are not excluded as per Section
2 above.
(b) concurrence with a proposal will be measured against the requirements of the applicable land use
district within which the antenna is proposed, the development and design standards in this
Appendix, applicable policies in the Town's Municipal Development Plan, and consideration of
comments received during the public consultation process and any other matter deemed relevant by
the Town Council.
(i) When a proposal is given a concurrence decision, the proponent will receive a letter of
concurrence from the Town documenting its decision and any conditions;
(ii) When a proposal is given a non-concurrence decision, the proponent will receive a letter of
non-concurrence from the Town describing the reasons for the decision.
(c) Town concurrence does not constitute approval of uses, buildings, and structures which require
issuance of a development permit under the Land Use Bylaw. A proposal which includes uses,
buildings or structures in addition to the antenna system, is required to obtain development permit
approval for such uses, buildings and structures in accordance with the provisions of the Land Use
Bylaw.
4
Development and Design Standards
The Town requests the following antenna systems development and design standards be adhered to:
(a) Co-utilization of existing antenna systems is the preferred option within the Town and is encouraged
whenever feasible.
(b) An antenna system (including any guy wires or similar support mechanisms) should be placed no
closer than 7.62m (25 ft.) from the property line abutting the public road.
(c) Antenna structures which are visible from residential areas may be requested to employ innovative
design measures to mitigate the visual impact of these structures. The proponent shall provide stealth
structure options when requested by the municipality. Stealth structure options will be based on an
evaluation of the massing, form, colour, material, and other decorative elements, that will blend the
appearance of the facility into and with the surrounding lands.
5
Application Submittal Requirements
The Town requests the following package be submitted for consideration of a proposed antenna system:
(a) Map, including legal location, and site plan of the proposed system;
(b) Description of the type and height of the proposed antenna system and any guy wires or other similar
support mechanisms (e.g. support cables, lines, wires, bracing);
Town of Coronation Land Use Bylaw# 2021- 684
Page 106 of 106
(c) The proposed lighting and aeronautical identification markings for the antenna and any supporting
structures;
(d) Documentation regarding potential co-utilization of existing towers within 800m (0.5 miles) of the
subject proposal; and
(e) Any other additional information or material deemed necessary and appropriate to properly evaluate
the submission.
6

(a) Proponents are required to formally notify the Town of their intent to make a submission to obtain a
letter of concurrence regarding the siting of a telecommunication antennas within the Town prior to

(b) If required by the Town, the proponent shall hold a public information meeting regarding their
development proposal and should proactively explain all aspects of the siting, technology and
appearance of the proposed structure.
(c) Once approval to proceed to public consultation has been given, the applicant or the municipality will
notify all landowners within:
(i) 1.6km (1 mile) of the proposed structure; and
(ii) All costs of the notification are borne by the applicant.
(d) With each notification to adjacent landowners, the proponent will be responsible to submit a letter
providing information regarding the location of the tower, physical details of the tower, the time and
location of the public information meeting, and a contact name and phone number of someone
employed by the proponent who can answer questions regarding the proposal. The notifications
should be sent 14 days prior to the public meeting.
(e) Within 14 days from the date of circulation of the notification or the date of the public information
meeting, the proponent will be responsible to provide the Town with a summary of the meeting
indicating the topics discussed, additional concerns raised with resolutions, and any outstanding
issues the proponent and/or landowners could not resolve.
(f) Where the public process has raised unresolved concerns, the Town will request a ruling by
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada prior to the issuance of a letter of
concurrence.
