Summary
Financial Impact
There is no immediate financial impact arising from this report. It must be noted that when the study is completed approximately 40 properties will be added to the Inventory. It is also noted that adding properties to the Inventory by means of Heritage Conservation District (HCD) designations dramatically increases the workload of Heritage Preservation Services, requiring staff to review all building permits, Committee of Adjustment, rezoning and Official Plan amendment applications within legislated timeframes. The continued increase in Heritage Conservation Districts will not be sustainable without additional staff resources.
