Summary
This report recommends that City Council adopt the document Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto: Procedures, Policies and Terms of Reference (HCDs in Toronto) for setting out the procedures, policies and guidelines of the City of Toronto for studying, planning and designating heritage conservation districts (HCDs) under the Ontario Heritage Act.
HCDs in Toronto creates a fair and transparent process for creating HCDs that results in district plans and designations that are consistent in their conservation expectations and responsive to the unique heritage significance and character of each district. It has been developed in response to significant changes to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) and the Provincial Policy Statement in 2005, as well as the City Council adopted Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. It incorporates comments received during consultations with the public, heritage professionals and city staff.
