Development Charges
Under City of London By-law No. C.P.-1473-212, amended by City Council on August 4, 2009, Section 36 states:

36.  Industrial Use Exemptions

(a)    Except as exempted under part (c) below, if a development includes the enlargement of the gross floor area of an existing industrial building, the amount of the development charge that is payable in respect of the enlargement is determined in accordance with this section.

i.  Enlargement 50 per cent or less - If the gross floor area is enlarged by 50 per cent or less, the amount of the development charge in respect of the enlargement is zero.

ii.  Enlargement more than 50 per cent - If the gross floor area is enlarged by more than 50 per cent the amount of the development charge in respect of the enlargement is the amount of the development charge that would otherwise be payable multiplied by the fraction determined as follows:

1.   Determine the amount by which the enlargement exceeds 50 per cent of the gross floor area before the enlargement.

2.  Divide the amount determined under paragraph 1 by the amount of the enlargement.

For the purposes of determining the portion of the expansion of an industrial building which is exempt under this section, the following definition applies:

manufacturing, producing, processing, storing or distributing something;

research or development in connection with manufacturing, producing or processing something;
