Description

To permit additional variances for the 9 storey apartment building consisting of 106 residential dwelling units. A previous Committee of Adjustment application (A0035/19SC) permitted variances for lot coverage and floor area. The development was the subject of a combined Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application (File No. 15 245019 ESC 36 OZ). On October 4, 2017, City Council approved the application and adopted amendments to the Scarborough Village Community Zoning By-law No. 10010 and the Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit the development. The proposed building setbacks, height and the entire building envelope have not changed since City Council passed the zoning by-law amendments.

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 hearing. 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.
