Mississauga Makes Housing Data Easier to Track with New Dashboard

By Announcement, Planning & Development

The City has launched a new Development Data dashboard to make it easier to access Mississauga housing data and monitor economic growth. The dashboard makes a wide-range of data available and shows the amount of development underway across the city.

The dashboard is one of 23 actions in the City’s four-year Growing Mississauga plan to get more homes built, streamline approvals and make housing more affordable. The plan was approved earlier this year.

“As a city, we’re committed to reporting back on our housing and development progress in a meaningful and transparent way,” said Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner of Planning and Building. “We also recommend that the province establish common data points to ensure standardized reporting across all municipalities – a shared understanding of housing data is important if we are going to move the needle on the housing crisis.”

For quick reference, the dashboard includes a Housing Update highlighting key figures such as the number of housing units approved and under construction in Mississauga. This monthly summary includes data from both the City of Mississauga and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The dashboard also provides access to detailed data across the following five tabs:

  1. Residential development tracking: provides information about active and approved housing development applications including the number of approved units
  2. Non-residential development tracking: details total gross floor area for active and approved industrial and commercial development applications
  3. Active development pipeline: provides a deeper dive on active applications by development type
  4. Building permits: includes details on residential and non-residential building permits issued since 2014
  5. Status of approved applications: provides a high-level summary of the number of units associated with an active, phased or inactive application city-wide and details where growth is planned throughout the city

“Cities are constantly evolving which is why access to timely and comprehensive data is so important,” Whittmore added. “As we work to bring more housing to Mississauga, good data helps us make informed decisions today about how best to plan for the future.”

The Development Data dashboard including the Housing Update summary is part of the City’s overall approach to sharing data in an open and transparent manner. Other data available on Mississauga’s City Planning Data Hub includes information on population and jobs growth forecasts, Census profiles and demographics, economic and employment surveys, and other current and historical planning data. Visit the Data Hub to learn more.

Mississauga Green Development Standards Update – Have Your Say

By Food for thought, Planning & Development, Resources

Buildings in Mississauga are responsible for roughly 50% of greenhouse gas emissions, but we can reduce these emissions through building and site design.

The City of Mississauga’s Green Development Standard (GDS) has been the tool through which the Planning and Building Department promotes environmentally friendly development through the Site Plan process. The GDS is being updated as per action 3.1 in the Climate Change Action Plan.(External link)

Have your say, take the survey & review the metrics

There are two ways to provide your feedback, and you can participate in both: the survey and providing comments on the draft metrics. The survey consists of five parts and is expected to take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. The survey will remain open until October 4, 2023. You can review the draft metrics and let us know what you think.

Pointer Article: ‘Groundhog Day:’ Edenshaw bypasses City Council; province will decide on controversial development

By Planning & Development, Ward 1

Edenshaw Developments Ltd. is under the microscope again at City Hall for repeatedly bringing back development applications councillors have heavily criticized, with little to no changes made to address concerns raised. In a September 5 planning and development meeting, the Mississauga-based developer once again brought back a proposal for 49 South Service Road, a development City Council previously condemned for “putting a circle in a square.” In response to council’s frustrations, Edenshaw is bringing the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal — its second appeal in two years.
