Summary
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 33 Avenue Road on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value. Located on the north east corner of Avenue Road and Yorkville Avenue, the property contains the building historically known as York Square (1968-9).
A nomination for the property to be included on the City's Inventory of Heritage Property was received in 2012. The local councillor in Ward 27 expressed interest in having the property evaluated for inclusion. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 33 Avenue Road meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation that is also used by the City when assessing properties for the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. A nomination for 55 Avenue Road (Hazelton Lanes) was also received by staff. In the evaluation of 33 Avenue Road, 55 Avenue Road was also assessed and was deemed not to merit a formal evaluation report.
