Why did planners recommend denying the zoning request and approving the senior housing complex?

1. The senior housing project is compatible with the child care facility to the north.
2. The senior housing project will not compromise the privacy of the adjoining monastery.
3. The use is functionally less intense than either the child care center to the north of the shopping center to the south, as it will generate less outside noise and activity and less pedestrian vehicular traffic.
4. The site coverage, setbacks and lighting are comparable to abutting developments.
5. Senior housing facilities do not create public safety issues. 
6. The development is consistent with the Oakville Community Area Study.
