Description

District plan, zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision applications for Taxiway District, which comprises 40.7 hectares (100.7 acres) of land consisting of hangars, offices and ancillary structures, surface parking lots, and a portion of the former Downsview Airport taxiway. Collectively, the district is proposed to accommodate approximately 489,009 square metres of GFA (282,750 square metres non-residential GFA and 206,259 square metres residential GFA) with a resulting gross density of 1.2 FSI. The proposed development will provide approximately 7,400 jobs and 2,957 dwelling units. The proposed development will maintain a predominantly mid-scale built form character with an option for two tall buildings of 19 and 23 storeys. Adaptive reuse of buildings from the previous aerospace manufacturing operations will accommodate a range of new institutional, retail, entertainment, and community uses. A range of housing options are proposed including affordable housing. 930 square metres of GFA are proposed for community uses along with a 1,547 square metre child care facility (1,001m indoor; 546 outdoor). The district plan proposes 14,295 square metres of public parkland across 3 parks, 13,844 square metres of privately-owned publicly accessible spaces, and 9,103 square metres of greenways.

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.
