Description
Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to permit three new buildings on the lands, comprising a 58-storey mixed-use condominium building with 4,060 square metres of non-residential uses in the lower floors and 741 dwelling units, a 21-storey purpose built rental building with 287 dwelling units with 310 square metres of community space, and a 9-storey purpose built rental building with 81 dwelling units. The proposal also includes 18 replacement rental units, of which the exact location remains to be determined. A 3,135 square metre parkland conveyance plus a 772 square metre Stratified Public Park Area and enhanced open spaces with a range of programming across the site are proposed. A new public street, which would extend Rose Avenue through to the northern boundary of the site and a series of private streets across the site are proposed. The proposal includes modifications to the layout and uses within the existing buildings to create new amenity and non-residential spaces, which would result in the loss of 18 existing rental dwelling units that would be replaced elsewhere within the site as determined though the development review. The remaining 2,251 rental dwelling units are proposed to be retained, along with 1,828 square metres of existing non-residential space. The existing and proposed buildings would result in 3,360 dwelling units with a gross floor area of 231,028 square metres, and 6,198 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, for a total gross floor area of 237,226 square metres across 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.
