Reassessing the Site Plan Control Amendment fee in accordance to the proposed change - 147 Elder Street (Alzheimer's Centre) - by Councillor James Pasternak, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

The proposed 20 suite expansion will allow the centre to grow and offer services to help serve the community for years to come. The project has satisfied zoning and site plan approval including all pre conditions approval and executed a site plan agreement. The project is currently under construction and will be completed in 2023. However, as construction has progressed it has come to light a relocation of the storm water will improve the overall viability and efficiency of the project. Given the minor nature of the change and staff's insistence on a Site Plan Control Amendment, a (re)assessment of the Site Plan Control Amendment fee should be considered so that it not only better reflects but is proportionate to the minor change being requested. The Motion is urgent given that the expanded Alzheimer's facility is currently under construction and is anticipating to open in the fall and welcome patients who have been on the waiting list for over a year now.
