It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD -36 -96 be received;
2. THAT the Director of Planning and Development be authorized to respond directly
to the Regional Municipality of Durham on those public submissions made with
respect to the Council- adopted Clarington Official Plan which addresses issues
previously considered by Council.
3. THAT the Region of Durham Planning Department be so advised and forwarded
a copy of Report PD- 36 -96.
1. During the period of the Region's review of the Clarington Official Plan, there will
be a number of submissions made by landowners and members of the public to
the Region. As the approval authority, acting for the Minister of Municipal Affairs
and housing, the Region will be considering these submissions prior to their
approval of the Official Plan. It is the Region's process to forward all submissions
to the area municipality to obtain the Council's recommendation.

a thorough public consultation process. This included:
