The application was originally submitted on October 5, 1975 and requested the redesignation of approximately 45.32 ha (112 ac. ) in Lot 7, Concession 1 , Darlington from 'Agricultural ' to `Urban Residential ' . Subsequently the subject land was designated `Permanent Agricultural Reserve' by the Region of Durham Official Plan. On May 30, 1977, Mr. H. Macklin of Schickedanz Development Ltd, was advised by letter that unless we received twenty (20) copies of the required drawing (as pre- viously requested on a number of occasions) within ten (10) days , we i would treat the application as abandoned. Inasmuch as the drawings were never received, it was recommended to the Planning Advisory Committee i on July 11 , 1977, that Regional Council be advised that the application vv . '�3'` J r - 2 - is considered abandoned, and that a new application would be re- quired prior to further consideration of the proposal . At that meeting, Mr. Macklin appeared on behalf of the applicant and advised that the application had been submitted as information only during preparation of the Durham Region Official Plan, and that the developer did not wish to proceed at that time. Based upon the Planning Depart- ment's recommendation and Mr. Macklin's presentation, the Committee passed Resolution No. P-126-77 concurring with the recommendation to consider the application abandoned. This was subsequently adopted by Council on September 6, 1977 and forwarded to the Region on September 8, 1977. At that time, Council was in a position to pass such a resolution, since the processing of the application had been referred to the Town by the Region and circumstances warranted such a move. However, under the present procedures for amending Official Plans, the Region is now responsible for processing all applications for amendment, with. the Town providing input in the form of comments to the Region. Furthermore, the Region advises that there is no time limit for proceeding with an application, meaning that the file for the subject application has been kept open, pending resolution or withdrawal of same. In that re- gard, and under the terms of the present amendment procedures, there is no justification for objecting to the processing of the application if the developer now wishes to proceed. There is, however, justification due to time elapsed and the procedural changes, for requesting that the application be recirculated for revised and updated comments based upon current policies related to the changes in planning context effected within the past three years. - 3 - Recommendation: Based upon the background information on file and discussions with Regional Planning staff, we recommend the following: 1 . That Regional Council be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to the further processing of Official Plan Amendment number 75-32/D(-)ND(-) , Old File No. O.P.A. 73, provided that the application is recirculated to all internal departments, external agencies and this municipality for revised and updated comments.
