The process by which developers get their buildings built will soon be a good deal more transparent, thanks to a new system that requires the electronic submission of all plans.
Called the
Toronto Building Electronic Delivery Program and put into effect on Nov. 7, the city now requires that all re-zoning applications, preliminary plan reviews and alternative solutions be handled entirely online.
Al Rezoski, the city's manager of community planning for downtown, says the new system "makes it easier in terms of exchanging information, and that way the public will be able to access plans online for a development application."
Though not yet publicly accessible, the city's plan is to have the customer interaction component up and running shortly.
