Planning and zoning checks
| Item | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplex use permission | Within recorded standard rules | Multi-unit residential use is a permitted use on this property under the recorded zoning. |
| Target unit count | Within recorded standard rules | This property is recorded as eligible for the wider five/six-unit as-of-right tier, and the target unit count is within it. |
| Building height | Within recorded standard rules | The configured building height is within the recorded limit. |
| Storeys | Needs confirmation | Storeys has not been specified in this configuration. |
| Lot coverage | Within recorded standard rules | The measured lot coverage is within the recorded limit. |
| Floor space index | Within recorded standard rules | The floor space index is within the recorded limit. |
| Site-specific exception | Within recorded standard rules | No site-specific zoning exception is recorded for this property. |
| Constraint layer screening | Within recorded standard rules | All required constraint layers (e.g. heritage, tree protection) have been screened for this property. |
| Rear setback | Needs confirmation | No authoritative rear setback control is recorded for this property. |
| Left side setback | Needs confirmation | No authoritative left side setback control is recorded for this property. |
| Right side setback | Needs confirmation | No authoritative right side setback control is recorded for this property. |
| Building depth | Needs confirmation | The measured building depth cannot be checked — the required front-yard setback for this property is not resolved, and Toronto measures building depth from that required line (Zoning By-law Chapter 800.50(100)), not from the built footprint alone. |
Overall: Needs confirmation
Details to confirm
- Confirm means of egress for every unit — Ontario Building Code exit/egress requirements (a second exit for units above the ground floor, egress window sizing, travel distance) depend on the final unit layout, which this feasibility check does not design. A designer must confirm means of egress for every proposed unit before permit application.
- Confirm fire separation between units — Multi-unit residential buildings require fire-rated separation between dwelling units (and between units and shared/common areas). This pipeline has no source to verify a proposed unit layout against that requirement — a designer must confirm it.
- Confirm water, sewer, and utility servicing capacity — Additional dwelling units can require upgraded water, sanitary sewer, or electrical service capacity. This pipeline has no source for this property's existing servicing capacity — a designer or the relevant utility must confirm it supports the proposed unit count.
- Confirm garbage and recycling storage — Multi-unit buildings have their own municipal waste storage and collection requirements, distinct from single-family service. This pipeline does not check available storage area against the proposed unit count — a designer must confirm it.
- Confirm parking requirements — Parking requirements for a multiplex depend on the final unit count, unit sizes, and this property's specific zoning parking rules — none of which this pipeline resolves. A designer must confirm parking compliance separately.
- Confirm accessibility requirements — Ontario Building Code accessibility requirements can apply depending on the final unit count and building configuration. This pipeline has no source to determine which requirements apply — a designer must confirm accessibility compliance.
