Description

Official Plan Amendment application to add new policies for the subject site at 1960 Eglinton Ave E (Cosmetica lands). The Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) would permit a mixed-use development with a new street and parkland. The development would consist of mixed-use buildings that range in height from 30 to 45 storeys and a six-storey non-residential building to replace and expand the gross floor area of the existing non-residential building (to be demolished). The site is located within the Golden Mile Secondary Plan (GMSP) study area.

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.
