Variance & Consent Precedent Study

== Method ==
We take Committee of Adjustment records from the City's open dataset of applications. We geolocate each file by matching its address to the parcel fabric. We keep the files within the 500 m radius. We normalize the decisions. An approval with conditions counts as an approval. Files with no recorded decision are shown on the map but excluded from the approval rate. Most of these files were withdrawn, deferred, or have data gaps.

The open dataset does not record the size of each variance. That information exists only as prose in the description of each file. The CSV includes the description. A reader can identify comparable relief by reading the text instead of guessing.

This is a demonstration study on a randomly selected site. No application exists at this address. Daniel Du (Development Analytics) prepared this as a work sample. It is not planning advice for any specific matter.
