Applicant and Location

Applicant: Glen Schnarr and Associates on behalf of CBM - Caledon
Location: Multiple Addresses including 18667 Mississauga Road, 18722 Main Street, 0 Main Street 18501 Mississauga Road, 1055 Charleston Sideroad, 18221 Mississauga Road, 0 Charleston Side Road, 1455 Charleston Sideroad, and 1420 Charleston Sideroad, Ward 1

Proposed Changes

The proposed CBM Caledon quarry is a Class A, below-water table quarry, meaning that the proposal is to remove more than 20,000 tonnes of bedrock aggregate annually, from below the water table.

The Official Plan Amendment application proposes to redesignate the lands in the Town Official Plan from General Agricultural Area, Rural Lands and Environmental Policy Area to:

Extractive Industrial B to permit above and below water table aggregate resource extraction; and,
Environmental Policy Area to protect the existing tributary (watercourse) in the north-west corner of the site.

The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to rezone the lands from Agricultural (A1) and Environmental Policy Area 2 Zone (EPA2) to Extractive Industrial – Exception XX (MX-XX) and Environmental Policy Area 1 Zone – Exception 487 (EPA1–487). The Extractive Industrial zone would permit the quarry and extraction, while the EPA1–487 zone allows the area to be licensed but no extraction permitted. The EPA1-487 zone aligns with the proposed Environmental Policy Area to protect the existing tributary in the north-west corner of the site.
