Description

Proposed Canada Post Depot building with a gross floor area of 1858.45 sq. m. (20,005 sq.ft.). The facility will provide for final mail sorting and destination delivery, with ancillary offices, employee locker rooms, etc.. A total of 205 parking parking spaces are proposed to supply both employee parking and fleet parking for the postal delivery vans (5-ton vehicles only). This is a new Canada Post prototype facility where the delivery van drivers will also now have traditional mail routes to provide actual door-to-door mail delivery as well. Building coverage proposed is approximately 18.5%, with approximately 9.4% of the site to be landscaped. The building is proposed to be LEED certified and energy efficient. NOAC issued Aug. 6, 2013, signed by Greg Lintern, Director, Community Planning.

Comparison with similar applications

Lobbied applications are compared only with unlobbied applications of the same type, in the same ward, submitted in the same year and of the same size band (units or floor area from the description; sub-type for Committee of Adjustment files). Unlobbied applications are weighted to match the lobbied group. Raw lobbied versus unlobbied averages are not reported.

Submission to the first decision status seen in our daily loads (measured from launch). Approval and refusal rates are among applications with a recorded decision.

Large and complex applications attract both lobbying and longer reviews, and matching cannot remove every difference between applications, so a difference does not show that lobbying changed how an application was reviewed.

Lobbyists choose whom to contact, so a difference does not show a change of mind.
