SCHEDULE 1 TO BY-LAW 97-255
MODIFICATION TO THE
DURHAM REGIONAL OFFICIAL PLAN
Deferral #1
PURPOSE: At the request of the Municipality of Clarington and Blue Circle Canada
Inc. (formerly St. Marys Cement Corporation), the Waterfront
Regeneration Trust undertook a process to resolve the issues related to the
preservation of Westside Marsh, compatibility with existing residential
uses and the continued economic viability and development of the Blue
Circle operations. In November 1995, the Trust released a report which
recommended a multi-faceted solution to these issues. The key
recommendations of the Report would involve St. Marys conveying to the
community, a significant portion of the Westside Marsh, as well as other
nearby lands. In turn, the Municipality would convey a portion of the
Waverly Road road allowance to St. Marys for quarrying purposes. The
relocation of Westside Creek, which feeds into the Marsh, would also be
required.
The purpose of this modification is to incorporate policies and land use
designations into the Durham Regional Official Plan which reflect the key
recommendations of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust Report and the
settlement between the Municipality of Clarington and Blue Circle Canada
Inc.
ACTUAL
MODIFICATION: The Durham Regional Official Plan is hereby modified by:
1. In Section 18.2.2 by changing all references from "St. Marys
Cement" to 'Blue Circle Canada Inc.".

of a portion of the Marsh and the conveyance of
approximately 40 ha of lands into public ownership for
management as part of a wetland complex.
