== Method ==
We geolocate Committee of Adjustment records to the parcel fabric and filter them to 500 m. We identify unit-adding applications from the City's own description text. These include conversions, added units, laneway suites and garden suites. The data table shows the classification for each file, so a reader can audit it. We normalize decisions. Approvals with conditions count as approvals. The open record is thin before 2015, so the counts are conservative.

We quote the Committee decision and the tribunal outcome for the subject file from the public record. We do not use a hearing transcript. We do not restate opinion evidence. The study reports the record.

This is a retrospective demonstration on a decided public application. The Committee of Adjustment already decided this file, and it is a public record. Daniel Du was not retained on the matter. We prepared this analysis after the decision, as a work sample. It states no planning opinion.
