Development
What is being proposed and approved
Planning documents are written to be legally sufficient, not to be understood. This is what the record says.
Burlington has 97 significant development projects on the City of Burlington’s planning record, of which 96 are still active.
Database
97 development projects, from 97 applications
Every significant planning application on the City of Burlington’s own record: what was filed, where, which ward and its published status. 17 are under review now.
By status
Where the projects stand
96 projects still active — 4 pre-application, 17 under review, 10 under appeal, 2 on hold and 63 approved. Counted once per project, so a rezoning and its subdivision are not counted twice.
