Description

This application is for consent to sever the land at 5789, 5827, 5883, 5933, 5945, and 5951 Steeles Avenue East into two blocks of land for commercial development and a northerly extension of State Crown Boulevard. The proposed blocks of land are shown on the attached Consent Sketch. The Committee of Adjustment previously gave provisional consent to this severance on three occasions, but each approval lapsed because the conditions were not fulfilled within one year as required by the Planning Act (Files B051/14SC, B043/13SC & B028/12SC). The conveyed lot would have a frontage of 302.2 m, with a depth of 272.4 m and an area of 83,780 m2. The retained lot would have a frontage of 627.6 m, with depth of 266.6 m and an area of 80,420 m2. The land shown as Part 2 would be dedicated to the City for an extension of State Crown Boulevard.

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 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.
