Can applications for “large scale development” be put on hold until planning documents (OCP, DCC bylaw, Servicing Standards etc.) are updated?

No. Council must consider development applications in accordance with current bylaws and procedures. Council cannot issue a moratarium on considering applications. This restriction applies equally to “large-scale developments” as to other types of development.
