Section 1.7.1 has been updated to include the following subsection:

"1.7.1 Long-term economic prosperity should be supported by:

b) encouraging residential uses to respond to dynamic market-based needs and provide necessary housing supply and range of housing options for a diverse workforce;"

The proposed development is consistent with this new subsection by responding to both the market needs for long-term care housing, and the requirements of the Provincial government to both increase the supply of long-term care housing and remove or update older care homes. The proposed residential care home is to replace the existing Banwell Gardens home across the street.

Overall, the policy updates and changes to the 2020 PPS do not change our original opinion as to how the proposed development satisfies the intent of the PPS; and, it is our opinion thatthe present OPA and ZBA applications, as per the revised concept, remain consistent with the 2020 PPS.

We trust that the enclosed information is satisfactory. If you have any questions, or require further information, please do not hesitate to call.

Yours very truly,
