INTRODUCTION Atlas Towers has identified the need for a cellular mast in the george area. The proposed location will improve the cellular signal and internet reliability dramatically and avoid the excessive development of base telecommunication stations as the coverage of the proposed base telecommunication station minimally overlaps with the existing covered areas. The number of cell phone subscribers in the area has increased resulting in a greater demand in signal strength. Atlas Towers intends to erect a 25m tree mast within a freestanding base telecommunication station on Erf 20601, george (hereafter referred to as the “Property”). To further build on the sustainability of this development, Atlas Towers will cater to the other service providers such as Vodacom, MTN and Cell C by allowing them to place their equipment on the mast so as to prevent proliferation of telecommunication stations in the area. This is ideal for all relevant parties as it limits the development of additional mast that could negatively affect the visual aspects of the area as a whole. 2. NATURE OF THIS APPLICATION Application is made to the George Local Municipality in terms of the George Local Municipality land use planning By-law of 2015 for: (1) the split zoning by rezoning a portion of land in terms of section 15(2)(a) to erect a freestanding telecommunication base station with a 25m cellular tree mast (2) the removal of restrictive conditions prohibiting the proposed development in terms of Section 15(2)(f) 2.1 Split Zoning – (Rezoning) [In Accordance to Section 15(2)(a)] The property is currently zoned as “community 2” which does not accommodate a freestanding telecommunications base station as a primary or consent use thereon. It is therefore the intent of this application to rezone a portion of the property (64m² - fenced) to Utility Zone: with primary right of Utility Services (Defined as: a use or infrastructure that is required to provide engineering and associated services for the proper functioning of urban development and-… includes… freestanding base telecommunication stations...) in terms of Section 15(2)(a) of the George Municipality Land Use Planning By-Law of 2015 allowing the intended use. ERF 20601, GEORGE URBAN SCOPE CONSULTING CC Page 3 2.2 Removal of Restrictive Conditions [In Accordance to Section 15(2)(f)] Application is made in terms of George Municipality’s Land Use Planning By-Law on Municipal Land Use Planning the property for the removal of conditions A(C), (A-E) B(C) and (A-E) applicable to Deed of Transfer T68235/2005 restricting the placement of the proposed mast. (Please see annexure B – conveyancers Certificate). 3. GENERAL INFORMATION 3.1 LOCATION The proposed site is located on Erf 20601, George (See Annexure A - Location Map) 3.2 LOCAL ATHORITY The applicable property falls under the jurisdiction of the George Local Municipality 3.3 OWNERSHIP The property is registered to Southern Cape Islamic Society (Annexure B – Title Deed) Atlas Towers and the owner of the property has authorised Urban Scope Consulting CC (Annexure C – Power of attorney) to lodge the necessary application to the George Local Municipality to erect a 25m cellular
