This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 497 Richmond Street West (including the related properties at 505 and 511 Richmond Street West) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority for a heritage easement agreement between the City and the property owner under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Located on the south side of Richmond Street West between Brant and Maud Streets and including St. Andrew's Playground on Adelaide Street West, the property was listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1983.
The City of Toronto is transferring the property, which contains the public works complex known historically as the Waterworks Building, to Build Toronto. According to the heritage policies in the City of Toronto's Official Plan, when a City-owned heritage property is sold, leased or transferred to another owner, a heritage easement agreement will be secured.
