Is the home in a Major Transit Station Area?
A Major Transit Station Area is the land within about 500 to 800 m of a rapid transit station where the Province requires municipalities to plan for higher minimum densities. Toronto publishes the areas the Minister has approved; elsewhere they are drawn in the Official Plan.

What the record is
Inside an MTSA the Official Plan sets a minimum number of people and jobs per hectare, which shapes what can be built on the surrounding lots over time. The boundary is the record; the plan's policies say what applies inside.
In Toronto the report line names the station area the lot sits in, if any. In other cities the line points to the Official Plan maps.
