Description

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws (City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013, former City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 438-86 and former City of York Zoning By-law No. 1-83) to permit additional potentially sensitive non-residential uses on the lands at 150 Symes Road. A range of uses are proposed including office, light industrial, brewery, commercial school, clinic, indoor recreation uses such as a rock-climbing, fitness and dance, as well as multi-purpose rooms for art gallery and private event uses, including food service (indoors and outdoors). The proposed development would include the re-use of the existing heritage building and existing service garage, plus the addition of four new buildings on the west and north portions of the site

Linked lobbying registrations

These links are inferred by lobbyTO from file numbers and addresses named in the registration (task L2); the registry does not record which application a registration concerns.

Links between records are inferred by a model and are not reviewed by a person. Each link shows its score out of 1; moderate-confidence links (0.7 to 0.9) are wrong more often than high-confidence links. How links are scored

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.
