Description

A re-zoning application and a site plan approval application have been submitted to develop the vacant site with a 4-storey residential building with a total of 94 units. A total residential gross floor area of 7677m2 is proposed, including indoor amenity areas totalling 1,377 m2. Extensive landscaping and an outdoor amenity space of 520 m2 are proposed around the building. Site vehicular access is proposed from Chapman Road (with existing accesses from Royal York Road and Renault Crescent to be removed), and the proposal includes a single level of underground parking with 50 parking spaces for visitors and employees. A total of 8 short-term bicycle parking spaces are also proposed at-grade at the building entrance. The building would be geared toward senior tenants as an assisted living/memory care facility.

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.
