Description

Previous proposal included a 9-storey residential apartment building fronting Bloor Street West (Bloor Building) with an integrated 3-storey residential townhouse block at the northwest corner of Broadfield Drive (Broadfield Townhomes) as well as a 3-storey residential building at the northeast corner of Markland Drive and Sunplains Crescent (Sunplains Building). The existing 10-storey, 113 unit apartment building would be retained. The current proposal includes extending the Bloor Building westward; replacing the Broadfield Townhomes with a 3-storey portion of the Bloor Building (containing walk-up units on the ground and second floor as well as units within the Bloor Building on the third floor); and removing the Sunplains Building and replacing this area with landscaped outdoor space. The number of residential units would increase from 164 units to 234 units, however, the total gross floor area would decreased from 17,678 square metres to 16976 square metres.

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.
