That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to clarify the future plans for the Careline site located on Tomas Omer Way. Given that the site is currently in use as a school serving young people, and in light of multiple motions I have previously submitted over the years to safeguard this site from residential development, I call on the Council to ensure that any proposed change of use for this land remains consistent with its current role. Specifically, the site should be retained for uses that serve young people in a recreational, community, or educational capacity.
