Abstract
Planning for places of worship in contemporary multicultural cities requires that policies and regulations be responsive to the spiritual needs of people of diverse faiths. This article assesses the experience of establishing mosques - Islamic places of worship - in the Toronto area. By 1997, twenty-seven mosques had been established: five built anew and the rest in adapted buildings. They were accommodated fairly within the existing planning policies and zoning bylaws. The assessment also shows that the relevant policies are ambiguous, and that planning standards, particularly concerning traffic and parking, are subject to divergent and contentious interpretations, resulting in widely recognized uncertainties and delays in the planning process. The article points out the subtext of social and political contentiousness that lies beneath the public discussions of planning issues. It concludes with a set of recommendations for both planners and developers of mosques.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
