The SECA Land Use Committee (LUC) has learned that a re-zoning application for the Shawnee Slopes Golf Course has been received by the City of Calgary Planning Dept.  At this time here are the known facts:

• Early in the week of October 11, 2009 an application was received by the city Planning department.

• Later during the week of October 11, 2009 additional information was received in the form of a box. The contents of the box were being reviewed by the file manager and it would not be known until early the week of October 18, 2009 if the information was valid.

• On Monday, October 19, 2009, the LUC Chair contacted The City of Calgary Planning Department for an update on the contents of the box.   It was confirmed that the contents of the box had been reviewed and that the application had preliminary application clearance.

• It was also stated by the Planning Dept, that the applicant must submit several information packages for the circulation mail out.

• Once the application was considered complete, the review process would start with all the city departments which will then also include the public engagement process.  The community association will be receiving all the relevant information as part of the public engagement process.

• On Friday, October 23, 2009, the LUC Chair contacted the city Planning Department to enquire as to whether they had received the requested information packages and whether a file number had been assigned to the application.  Neither had been completed.

Please continue to view this webpage for updates as we receive them.
