Description

Revised Zoning Amendment application for residential, office and restaurant/retail uses in a single building form of varying heights framing a large publicly accessible open courtyard. Please note that the property at 485 King Street West (initially part of the site with an existing heritage building which was not being altered) has been removed from the proposed development site. Please review the attached letter dated Oct. 6, 2017 for a description of the changes to the proposal. The essential form of the building remains the same, with a form which rises and falls and includes four building 'peaks' (reduced from five) of which the tallest are 16-storeys (57.5 metres). 307 Parking spaces are proposed in a two level underground parking garage. There is also a below-grade commercial floor and a partial commercial mezzanine floor and two and a half levels of commercial / office space above grade with 514 residential units above.

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.
