Description

The rezoning application proposes to redevelop the site and build a new mixed-use 38-storey (131 metre including mechanical penthouse) with 2,250 sq. metres of commercial uses in a two-storey base building and residential uses on the upper floors. The existing clock tower will be maintained and incorporated into the redevelopment. There are a total of 451 residential units including 425 condominium units and 26 rental units. Parking for 117 vehicles is proposed on 4.5 levels below grade. 472 bicycle parking spaces are located at ground level and above grade. Access to the site is proposed from St. Luke Lane. The site currently contains 2 to 3-storey mixed use buildings with retail uses and residential rental units above.

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.
