Description

This application is for consent to sever the land to create separate lots for two existing industrial buildings at 247 and 257 Finchdene Square. The proposed lot at 247 Finchdene Square would have a lot area of approximately 11,400 m² (conveyed lot). The lot at 257 Finchdene Square would have a lot area of approximately 21,590 m² (retained lot). The applicant also proposes to create easements for shared vehicular access, shared hydro electrical facilities, and access to utilities and underground services. Note: the Committee of Adjustment approved a consent application on April 18, 2013 to sever the property to create two separate lots (File B009/13SC). The previous consent application lapsed as a result of unfulfilled conditions and a new application has been submitted. The proposal remains the same as the previous consent application.

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.
