It looks like the planning department is finally reviewing section 37 policies:
"This report summarizes the results of a consultant study undertaken to review the Section 37 implementation process, and recommends process changes. The recommendations in this report are informed by the outcomes of the accompanying consultant’s study (Attachment 1) which relied on extensive consultation with City staff from a broad cross section of divisions, Councillors, and the development industry.
Staff have reviewed the consultant's findings and have made recommendations which address: clarifying what constitutes a reasonable planning relationship within the City's Section 37 Implementation Guidelines; requesting the Province to amend Section 37 of the Planning Act to enable a standardized determination of the quantum of benefits; continuation of the consideration of introducing base densities in specific areas of the City when updating Secondary Plan policies and/or site specific and area Official Plan policies; and annual public reporting on Section 37 benefits."
It seems crazy that the city would have to ask the province for standardized s37 benefits!
