30 Leuty Ave, Toronto

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”.

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”). 147 of the decisions within 1 km name none, so the category counts are a floor, not the full picture.

Conditions

0 of 158 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.
