Past decisions don't predict future ones; not a planning opinion. Counts of the City's recorded decisions on minor variance applications. With fewer than 10 decisions we say “too few decisions to estimate”.
| Where and when | Decisions | Approved (all) | Approved | With conditions | Refused | Withdrawn | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ward 13, last 3 years | 105 | 96% | 96% | 0% | 2% | 2% | 11 weeks |
| Within 1 km, last 3 years | 48 | 100% | 100% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 12 weeks |
| Ward 13, last 5 years | 196 | 95% | 95% | 0% | 4% | 2% | 14 weeks |
| Within 1 km, last 5 years | 90 | 100% | 100% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 15 weeks |
Typical time: median from the application date to the hearing at which the Committee decided (approved or refused). Withdrawn applications have no hearing.

The City publishes each application's purpose, not its list of variances. We count a category only when the purpose names it (“parking”, “lot coverage”, “side yard setback”). 61 of the decisions within 1 km name none, so the category counts are a floor, not the full picture.
Conditions
0 of 90 approvals within 1 km in the last 5 years are recorded as conditional. The City's open data records whether a decision had conditions, not what they were; common ones are building to the submitted plans and arborist or engineering requirements. Read the decision for the file.
