Some projects in Fort York-Liberty Village need the Committee of Adjustment to approve a minor variance from the zoning by-law before a building permit can be applied for at all. Where that applies, the committee’s clock runs first and the permit wait above starts only once it has stopped. Back to back, that is about 168 days, not the 19 days the permit figure alone suggests. How variances work, and the approval rates.
