Why is this story here?
ContainedThis is a single-site zoning amendment affecting one address. The decision is genuine and affects what can be built there, but it is bounded to this location and a future council could theoretically amend the zoning again. It does not close doors for the city as a whole. Passes the test: something happens, but bounded.Touches a narrow groupThe proposal affects the specific residents and businesses at 419-425 Woodbine and people in the immediate neighbourhood. A majority of Toronto residents do not live on Woodbine Avenue and will not experience this week. Those directly affected (nearby residents, current occupants if any) do feel this, but it is a single address, making this indirect-or-narrow rather than direct-and-real citywide.
