Overview
The City of Toronto's single-page timeline, laid out across the stages of a development application — voluntary pre-application consultation, application submission, community council or the Planning and Housing Committee, and City Council — with a parallel column of things to consider at each. The suggestions cover engaging community and equity-deserving groups early, reviewing existing studies for community priorities, scoping engagement to the size and impact of a proposal, showing how consultation feedback shaped the submission, and closing the loop with participants afterwards.
