Community Council Decision
The Toronto and East York Community Council referred the report (March 26, 2012), headed "Removal of a Designated Heritage Property Under the Ontario Heritage Act - 314 Jarvis Street", from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning, to the Acting Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, in order to work with the owners on this or any other revised proposal.
Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council refuse the proposed removal of the designated heritage property at 314 Jarvis Street as part of a zoning amendment application. The property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and is protected by a Heritage Easement Agreement held by the City of Toronto. The application proposes to construct a 50-storey building consisting of a 9-storey podium and a 41-storey tower at 308-314 Jarvis Street and 225 Mutual Street. The proposal contains 590 units and 5 levels of below grade parking.
A Heritage Impact Assessment was submitted by Philip Goldsmith Architect Inc. dated January 19, 2012 as part of the zoning amendment application. The applicant has proposed to demolish the rear wing of the designated building and move the main portion of the house from its original location to a new permanent location 1.695 metres to the south. During construction of below grade parking the building would be moved to a temporary location on the site. Heritage Preservation Services staff cannot support this application in light of the potential risk of damage to the heritage structure in the context of a planning application that represents over-building of the site.
The Director of Community Planning has prepared a report for the May 15, 2012 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council recommending refusal of the rezoning application as a whole.
