CITY OF LONDON GENERAL APPLICATION FORM
SECTION 1- Introduction
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines to be followed by applicants for all facilities to which Industry Canada’s
CPC-2-0-03 is applicable within the City of London. Industry Canada is responsible for approving and licensing
radiocommunication facilities. As part of the approval process, Industry Canada requires applicants of significant antenna
structures to confer with the local land use authority prior to the issuance of a license. The City of London’s
Telecommunication Facilities Consultation Policy institutes a consultation procedure between telecommunication carriers
and the City which provides an opportunity for public consultation in the site selection process. These procedures are
intended to provide opportunities for public feedback regarding the location of telecommunication facilities.
The City will provide applicants of new telecommunication towers, subject to the application review process, with a Letter
of Concurrence within 45 days of a complete application if the City is satisfied that its telecommunication consultation
process has been followed.
The participation of the City of London or the public in the consultation process does not convey the right to prevent the
location of a telecommunications facility. Local By-laws cannot prevent a telecommunication facility from being built since
Industry Canada has the final authority provided to them under the Radiocommunication Act. This procedure is intended
to identify sensitive locations, promote appropriate design, and promote co-located facilities to be located in areas away
from residential neighbourhoods where possible. The decision to grant a license for a telecommunications facility
ultimately rests with Industry Canada. Industry Canada only intervenes i.e. makes a decision if the condition requiring
concurrence cannot be met. As such, issuance may be delayed for a period of time to or the licenses may not be issued
for the wireless facility.
This policy applies to:
Antenna systems or platforms co-located on existing towers where the overall height of the structure is increased by
more than 25%;
Rooftop structures, such as antennas or related equipment, on buildings where the structure is more than 25% of the
height of the building or the greater of 16.6 metres (54.5 feet) in height;
New antennas systems that are located on a new, purpose-built tower or structure that is greater than 16.6 metres
(54.5 feet) above ground level;
Any modification (e.g. increasing the height) to existing structures greater than 16.6 metres (54.5 feet) above ground
level in residential areas or is located less than 120 metres from a residential dwelling, residential zone or lands
designated as Residential in the Official Plan;
New antenna systems that are located on located on a property designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario
Heritage Act.
The CPC-2-0-03, Section 1.2 states “The requirements of this document apply to anyone regardless of the type of
installation or service. This includes, amongst others, Personal Communications Services (PCS) and cellular, fixed
wireless, broadcasting, land-mobile, licence-exempt and amateur radio from other radiocommunication antenna
structures, and as such the exclusion criteria outlined in Section 6 of the CPC-2-0-03 applies to amateurs as well.
Section 1 Objectives
1. To facilitate, coordinate and influence the planning and site selection process for telecommunication facilities
in the City;
2. To encourage consultation between the City and telecommunication carriers on all applications, and to
expedite the review process on applications for new telecommunications sites;
3. To provide a process for public consultation as specified by this policy on all applications; and
4. To inform applicants and the public about the guidelines for the location and design of telecommunication
facilities.

Section 6 Site Location Guidelines
1. The location of new commercial and institutional telecommunication towers in lands designated as Residential in the
City of London Official Plan will be discouraged.
2. Proponents of towers are encouraged to protect the natural and cultural landscape at all times. Where appropriate,
landscaping at the tower site to enhance the character of the surroundings is recommended. Sites within designated
Heritage Conservation Districts (e.g. East Woodfield, West Woodfield, Bishop Hellmuth, and Old East Village Heritage
Conservation Districts) and properties within the Natural Heritage System or an Environmentally Significant Area as
identified on Schedule “A” Land Use of the City of London Official Plan should be avoided.
3. New telecommunication towers or antennas are greatly discouraged within 120 metres of any Residential Zone or
elementary or secondary school, unless required for engineering or network purposes. If a new tower or antenna is
planned to be located within 120 metres of a Residential Zone or a school, a detailed rationale for the necessity of this
location is to be provided in the justification report of the submission requirements in Section 2.
4. Locations should be selected that will reduce the necessity to construct new telecommunication towers in the City.
Locating towers on existing structures or buildings or co-location on an existing telecommunications tower are
encouraged. Options to integrate an antenna into the design of a new building or structure are to be explored by the
applicant. Support for the construction of a new telecommunication tower will be permitted only when other
alternatives to accommodate the telecommunication tower are not feasible.
5. The development or redevelopment of telecommunication towers and equipment shelters should be of a colour and
design that diminishes the visual impact and avoids disturbance of significant natural features. Towers and accessory
structures are to reflect the context of the surrounding area. Tower designs that mimic other characteristics normally
found in the area surroundings, such as stealth (camouflage) towers or monopole designs are encouraged where
suitable.
CITY OF LONDON GENERAL APPLICATION FORM
6. Lighting on a telecommunication structure is discouraged except when required by Transport Canada, Navigation
Canada, or for the health and safety of the proponents’ employees. Where Transport Canada requires a
telecommunication antenna structure to be lit, the lighting should be limited to the minimum number of lights and the
lowest illumination allowable. Any required strobe lighting should be set to the maximum strobe interval allowed by
Transport Canada.
7. Towers shall accommodate only communication antennas. Signs or other material not directly related to this
equipment or required by Industry Canada shall not be permitted on the site.
8. The preferred location of new towers within the City is in industrial and agricultural designations which are away from
existing or future residential developments. Commercial land use designations may also be considered. New
telecommunication towers located on agricultural land should use the smallest area of land permitted by the structure
type, and must have access to a public road for maintenance.
9. Towers should be located a minimum three times the tower height away from any public road or right-of-way,
including pathways, walkways, and bicycle paths. Towers should also be located a minimum distance of three times
the tower height away from a residential zone, school, or dwelling.
10. The procedure requires all requests for the installation of telecommunication equipment on City lands to be submitted
to the Realty Services Division.
11. The City may consider permitting private telecommunication facilities on City-owned lands that are not designated as
parkland or components of the Natural Heritage System.
