Description

Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications currently under appeal at the OLT. At its meeting on September 30, 2020, City Council directed staff to attend the OLT in support of a revised proposal to permit two towers on top of the existing heritage designated Dominion Public Building. A total gross floor area (GFA) of 89,058 square metres is proposed, consisting of 408 residential units, 253 hotel rooms, 5,082 square metres of retail and 36,022 square metres of office. Various conditions of approval are required to be fulfilled prior to the Tribunal's Final Order.

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.
