How to search | ||||||||||||||||||||
|
You can search for Development Projects or individual Planning Applications by Ward, District, address and application number from January 1, 2006 to the present. 
There are several options you can select to search for Development Projects and Planning Applications. The options you select will determine the results. For example, if you fill in all 5 boxes for the application number the search result will be one item. If you select a Ward or District the search result could be a list of hundreds. Not all boxes need to be filled in to generate results. Click on the "SUBMIT" button at the bottom of the page and a list of all Development Projects or Planning Applications that meet your search options will be generated.
When you click on the map, you are selecting a Ward which will appear in the Ward box below the map. The District in which the Ward is located will be filled into the District box automatically. You can also select the Ward or District from the drop-down boxes. Address There are 4 boxes for the address and not all of them need to be filled in to search for Projects or Applications. The street number is typed into the first box. The name of the street is typed into the second box. The street type can be selected from a drop-down box. The street direction (north, south, east and west) can be selected from the drop-down box. Application number There are 5 boxes for the application number. Only the year and sequence number (first and second boxes) need to be filled in to generate a result. The last 2 digits of the year is typed into the first box. For example, the year 2008 would be entered as 08. The 6-digit sequence number is typed into the second box. This number helps to distinguish one application from others received that year. The City Planning District is typed into the third box. You need to enter only 3 letters as follows:
The 2-digit Ward number is typed into the fourth box. For example, Ward 8 would be entered as 08. Select application type from the drop-down box. Date Range You can change the default date range to any date from January 1, 2006 to today's date less 7 days. This allows time to update our records for applications received within the past week. The default date range to search for Development Projects is January 1, 2006 plus the current year, year-to-date. The default date range to search for Planning Applications is automatically set to the last 6 months.
Can I search by application type? Go to the last box for Application # and the drop-down menu provides a list of application types. The table below provides the application types that correspond to the codes used in the drop-down menu.
What types of planning applications are not available? We have excluded these applications/studies/appeals because they do not have detailed project data:
Do I need to fill-in every search box for a query? No. Use one, some or all of the fields for your query. Which address can I query? You can query any municipal address including primary, structure and entrance addresses. If your query doesn't work try the street name only and leave the street number blank. Can I change the default date range? Yes. The start date can be any date from January 1, 2006 onward. The end date can be any date up to the current date, less 7 days. The lag time allows time for staff to update the information before the application appears in the web application. Therefore new planning applications will appear in the web application 8 calendar days after they were submitted at the Customer Services Counter.
How do I allow pop-up pages? You need to allow pop-up pages to go pages that explain how to search and the planning application approval status. Please change Internet Explorer internet settings by:
Click on the Print Report button at the bottom of the page and a list of all results will appear in a new window. Before you print, click "File" on the menu bar and select "Page set-up" and change the orientation to "landscape". How do I print alternating row colours? Change your Internet Explorer internet settings by:
Click on the Export Report button at the bottom of the page and the list of results will be exported to a spreadsheet. You have the option of saving the spreadsheet to your computer. Why can't I print or export reports an "All Districts" or "All Wards" query? A Query which generates a list of well over 1,000 of applications can not be printed or exported into a report because it takes too long to generate these reports and it times-out. As a consequence, the print or export report function has been disabled (greyed-out) only for an All Districts or All Wards query. How is a Development Project different from a Planning Application? A Development Project is a summary of the planning application activity on a property. There could be more than 1 planning application submitted on a property. You can get a list of the planning applications related to a Development Project by clicking the hyper-link on the application number. A query of Planning Applications will show a list of all planning applications on a property. Why doesn't this application show up? Only applications submitted after January 1, 2006 will appear in the web application. Try a query in either Development Applications or Planning Applications to find an application. How current is the information? The information displayed is the latest information recorded in IBMS, which is where the information is stored. Updates to the information will appear in the web application the next day because IBMS is updated once every night. Why are the figures missing for some planning applications? If there are several planning applications on a property, the figures will be shown for the main application. There are no figures shown for related applications to avoid over counting floor space. What does a Status Date of Jan 1, 3000 mean? This means that the proposal has reached the Project Status or Application Status indicated, but we do not yet know the exact date that this occurred. This date is "temporary" and will be updated once the precise date is determined from the City’s records.
