On the basis of a discussion with the 'Town's solicitor, staff
feel that a policy whereby the impact of a proposal would be examined
by the Town and a grant provided to the applicant in the amount of
the levy or some portion thereof, to be most appropriate.
Under the proposed policy, the Town would examine a request
for relief from the levy charge on the basis of several Criteria listed
in the poll y and then according to the demand for capital expenditure
could provide a grant to the applicant.
Planning staff feel that in view of the current demand for senior
citizens accommodation in the 'Town an reflected by t:he Minstry of Housing
Surveys, that the proposed policy could be a constructive approach for
the Town to adopt in meeting this type of housing; demand.
Staff feel that the proposed policy If adopted by Council should
be reviewed at such time as the Provincial Government enact, legislation
in respect municipal impost charges and at such time as the Town
I
adopts it Mti!f cipal ilous.ing Statement anti/or adnptn the findings of the
proposed Financial Analysis ;in(] Grow th PlnnuemenL Study.
RBCOMMENI)AT I ON:
i That the Planning and Development Committee consider the attached
policy in respect of levies on Private Nun--Profit Senior Citzen !lousing
and if considered appropriate that the policy be forwarded to Council for
