SCHEDULE 11: OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS
1. APPLICABILITY
(a) The off-street parking and loading requirements and design standards apply to:
i.
all new buildings and uses, and
ii.
the expansion or enlargement of existing buildings or uses.
(b) In the case of expansion or enlargement of an existing building or use, additional off-street parking
spaces will be required to serve the expanded or enlarged area only, not the entire building or use.
2. MINIMUM REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING
(a) The minimum required off-street parking for a development shall be calculated in accordance with
Table 1 (Minimum Required Off-street Parking) of this Schedule.
(b) All required off-street parking shall be provided at the time of construction and prior to occupancy.
(c) The applicant must provide a site plan and/or parking plan (and in some cases an alternative parking
plan) showing the location and dimensions of all off-street parking requirements.
(d) Off-street parking requirements based on floor area are to be computed on the gross floor area (GFA)
of the building, unless otherwise stipulated in this Bylaw.
(e) Calculation of off-street parking requirements resulting in a fractional number of 0.5 or greater shall
be rounded up and rounded down when resulting in a fractional number of 0.49 or less.
(f) A multiple use development must provide parking in an amount equal to the number of spaces for all
uses, except where a shared parking provision is approved by the Municipal Planning Commission. An
alternative parking plan shall be submitted in proposing a shared parking scenario and is based upon
the proposed sharing of parking spaces between two or more uses on a lot and/or utilization of lot area
on a lot other than that in which the use is proposed and must include a written agreement between
the owners on record. Where such off-site parking is approved, a caveat shall be registered against the
lot(s) to guarantee the continuous use of the site for parking for the life of the development.
(g) Where a use is not listed, minimum required off-street parking shall be provided as required by the
Development Authority having regard to the listed use that is most similar to the proposed use. As an
alternative, the Development Authority may require a parking study to be prepared by a qualified
professional at the applicant's expense to determine the parking requirements for a use not listed in
Table 1.
(h) All required parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the building or use, except where the
Municipal Planning Commission may approve an alternative parking plan in permitting off-site parking
spaces to be provided on a lot within 152.4 m (500 ft.) of the building or use if, in the Municipal Planning
Commission's opinion, it is impractical to provide parking on the same lot as the building or use. Where
such off-site parking is approved, a caveat shall be registered against the lot(s) to guarantee the
continuous use of the site for parking for the life of the development.

SCHEDULE 12: COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL ALTERNATIVE
RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTS
1. DEFINITIONS
In addition to the definitions in Schedule 15 of this Bylaw, the following definitions apply to this Schedule:
Alternative/Renewable Energy, Commercial/Industrial means a use that produces energy (and in some
cases other marketable by-products depending on the process utilized) fuelled in ways that do not use up
natural resources or harm the environment. Energy may be derived from natural and/or non-traditional
sources (e.g. geothermal, solar, water, wind, waste, etc.) and once produced is sold and distributed off-site
(commercially) to the marketplace.
Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material
in the absence of oxygen. It is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release
energy.
Anaerobic digester means a facility or system designed to process animal manure, organic or septic waste,
and typically converts what used to be waste, into biogas. The biogas can be used to heat water or create
electricity, and may also provide a source of organic fertilizer.
Biodiesel means a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources, such as
soy oil and other feedstocks. Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification
whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil.
Bioenergy means the energy stored in organic matter to generate electricity. This organic matter can
include agricultural residues, animal manure, waste wood, wood chips and bark. Bioenergy can be
generated in a variety of ways such as Thermal treatment, Anaerobic digestion, Biofuel or Landfill gas.
Biofuel means a fuel derived from biological raw materials or biomass (recently living organisms or their
metabolic byproducts, such as manure from cows). It is a renewable energy source and typically, it is
considered a fuel with an 80% minimum content by volume of materials derived from living organisms
harvested within ten years preceding its manufacture.
Fermentation is the process of extracting energy from the oxidation of organic compounds.
Gasification is a process that converts organic or fossil based carbonaceous materials into carbon
monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This is achieved by reacting the material at high temperatures
(>700 °C), without combustion, with a controlled amount of oxygen and/or steam.
Geothermal energy means thermal energy that is generated and stored in the Earth.
Mechanical biological treatment system is a type of waste processing facility that combines a sorting facility
with a form of biological treatment such as composting or anaerobic digestion. MBT plants are designed to
process mixed household waste as well as commercial and industrial wastes.
Micro-hydro means a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces up to 100 kW of electricity using
the natural flow of water. These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community,
or are sometimes connected to electric power networks.
Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures without the
participation of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase,
and is irreversible.
T o w n o f C o a l d a l e L a n d U s e B y l a w N o . 6 7 7 - P - 0 4 - 1 3
SCH 12 | 2
Thermal depolymerization (TDP) is a depolymerization process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction
of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light
crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels.
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of creating energy, typically in the form
of electricity or heat, from the incineration of a waste source. Most WtE processes produce electricity
directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol,
ethanol or synthetic fuels. Besides incineration, other WtE technologies may include: gasification, thermal
depolymerization, pyrolysis, plasma gasification, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, and mechanical
biological treatment.
2. ALTERNATIVE/RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS
All major commercial or industrial alternative/renewable energy development projects, such as but not limited
to, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, geo-exchange, micro-hydro, carbon capture and storage, geothermal,
micro-hydro, waste-to-energy, anaerobic digesters, biodiesel, biofuel or fuel cells, require a development
permit. This Section is specific and applicable to those commercial/industrial development projects whose
primary intent and purpose is to sell and/or export energy (or any other by-product of a particular process) off-
site.
(1) Information requirements
(a) A development permit application shall be accompanied by the following information:
i.

APPENDIX A: TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA SITING
PROTOCOL EXCLUSION LIST
TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNA SITING PROTOCOL EXCLUSION LIST
Industry Canada has determined that certain antenna structures are considered to have minimal impact on the
local surroundings and do not require consultation with the Land Use Authority or the public. The following
excerpt from Industry Canada's publication, "Radiocommunication and Broadcasting 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 are therefore excluded from Schedule 4, Section 19 (Telecommunication
Antenna Siting Protocols) in the Town of Coaldale Land Use Bylaw.
Schedule 4, Section 19 Exclusions
For the following types of installations, proponents are excluded from the requirement to consult with the land
use authority and the public, but must still fulfill the General Requirements outlined in the Administration Section,
subsection 7 [of CPC-2-0-03]:
-
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 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.
Individual circumstances vary with each antenna system installation and modification, and the exclusion criteria
above should be applied in consideration of local circumstances. Consequently, it may be prudent for the
proponents to consult the Land Use Authority and the public even though the proposal meets an exclusion noted
above. Therefore, when applying the criteria for exclusion, proponents should consider such things as:
-
the antenna system's physical dimensions, including the antenna, mast, and tower, compared to the local
surroundings; the location of the proposed antenna system on the property and its proximity to
neighbouring residents;
-
the likelihood of an area being a community-sensitive location; and
-
Transport Canada marking and lighting requirements for the proposed structure.
Proponents who are not certain if their proposed structure is excluded, or whether consultation may still be
prudent, are advised to contact the land-use authority and/or Industry Canada for guidance.

"VOLUNTARY WAIVER OF CLAIMS" (Optional)
For Development Approvals of Discretionary Uses and/or Approvals granting a waiver of development standards
This "Voluntary Waiver of Claims" allows you to commence your development at your own risk in
advance of the date of validity on your Development Permit. The permit's valid date is the date at which
the appeal period for the public has expired.
By agreeing to this "Voluntary Waiver of Claims" you agree that should an appeal be made you will
immediately cease the development pending the outcome of the appeal and will waive all claims to
compensation from the Town of Coaldale for costs associated with that cessation and/or costs resulting
from the outcome of the appeal, including the removal of improvements and restoration of disturbances
to the land/buildings to their former state.
Agreement to this "Voluntary Waiver of Claims" does not nullify your own right to an appeal. You may
appeal any condition of approval on the Development Permit to the Subdivision and Development Appeal
Board by the date identified on your permit.
Agreement to this "Voluntary Waiver of Claims" and possession of the released Development Permit
does not eliminate the need for a Business License, Building Permit or other permits. Do not commence
development without first obtaining all the necessary permits.
I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THIS "VOLUNTARY WAIVER OF CLAIMS"
