Description

The site includes 470, 490 and 530 Wilson Avenue. It is presently occupied by a four-storey commercial building and two four-storey residential rental buildings that contain a total of 110 rental units. The applicant proposes to demolish a four-storey commercial office building and two four-storey residential rental buildings that contain a total of 110 rental units and is seeking a site-specific zoning by-law amendment to allow a 12-storey condominium building (394 units), a 12-storey rental apartment building (161 units) with rental replacement units. The condominium and apartment buildings will front onto Wilson Avenue. The applicant is not proposing to use the 6.1 metre unopened laneway along the north property line for access to the proposal. The condominium and apartment buildings will include office and retail space at grade along Wilson Avenue. The proposed redevelopment also includes three levels of underground parking with a total of 387 spaces.

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.
