This is incredibly helpful - thank you both for your responses. And it makes sense to me

Do we know how the cash contributions are calculated? Or the formula used by staff?

I'm not sure if it's an extension of the 4% CBC requirement based on land value as you may need to get appraisals done - which wouldn't be very efficient for an MV. Could just be a $X figure applied to just GFA or per unit...?

It’s only an extension of the CBC for projects which are under the CBC regime. For those (like this) which are under the old S.37 regime, it’s an amount agreed to between city planning and the developer. Usually related to the original s.37 amount, and extended by the additional GFA to be gained.

The CBC appraisal is done at the time of building permit, so it would already be known and a simple calculation.

There's a third category, which has been used to secure said benefits through some of the recent CoA/TLAB hearings for extra density post-zoning which fall under Section 45(9). There's no enumerated formula, so these are being negotiated ad hoc between some combination of the local councillor and City Staff. Recent ranges of the ones I'm familiar with are $65,000 per floor to more than $400,000 per floor, but Staff (at least in high land value locations) seem to be coalescing at around that higher number.

45(9) is what I was referring to re: the s.37 files. It’s only used in cases where a s.37 agreement exists. Otherwise, it’s left to the CBC formula of 4%.
