About the Site:
The parcel is a flat, 1,300′ x 606′ (18.09 acre) corner-lot north of 94 Avenue SE on 60 Street SE. The site currently operates an Asphalt, Aggregate and Concrete Plant that washes and processes gravel materials for re-use.

About the Land Use Redesignation (“Rezoning”)
The existing Direct Control bylaw DC22d2022 allows a discretionary use of Asphalt, Aggregate and Concrete Plant for the site and these operations occur on the site at this time. The Applicant seeks to amend the current Direct Control (DC) district to define and add a custom use of “Soil Recycling Facility Operations”.
The soil recycling facility on the site is a unique operation, one of only two in North America. Accordingly, no existing Uses describe the activities and operations on the site thus requiring a new Use description to capture the operations on the site correctly.
About the Development Permit
Additional equipment and operations have been added to the site and include a soil washing facility that generates aggregate (gravel), sand, and fine particulate (“fines”) materials for use in landscaping, construction, and the manufacturing of new products such as concrete, resulting in the diversion of these materials from landfill.
The Development Permit reviews the equipment, servicing, storm water management, and other aspects of the site and operations to determine compliance with City Department needs and building code considerations.
Operations
Calgary Aggregate Recycling intends to divert 100% of materials from it’s operations away from landfills. 2024 operations diverted 91% of all materials!
To date, over 266,000 tonnes of materials
have been diverted from landfills!
Currently, the wash process generates “fines” materials that are used as a concrete additive after kiln processing, CAR is seeking new partnerships to divert all of the fines materials and reach 100% diversion of materials from landfill.
