Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act the properties identified in Recommendation No. 2. The properties are located on the south side of King Street East between Leader Lane and Church Street and contain a series of commercial and institutional buildings dating from the mid-19th to the early 20th century.
The City has received an application for a zoning by-law amendment for the redevelopment of this block. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the King Street East properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation of the properties would enable City Council to regulate alterations to the sites, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
