Item - 2016.TE17.33

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council authorize that a study be undertaken of the Belmont-Hillsboro Area as a potential Heritage Conservation District under Section 40.(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act, as indicated by the boundary in Attachment 1 of the report (May16, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

2. City Council expand the proposed Belmont-Hillsboro Heritage Conservation District Study Area to include Pears Avenue, Gibson Street and Ramsden Park.

This report recommends that City Council authorize to study the Belmont-Hillsboro area as a potential Heritage Conservation District (HCD), under Section 40.(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act at a later date, when it has been identified as a priority.

The Belmont-Hillsboro HCD Study Nominated Area, as indicated by the boundary in Attachment 1, of the report, is one of the 97 potential HCD study areas in Official Plan Amendment No. 38.

Authorization to study Belmont-Hillsboro HCD would allow the area to be included a staff review and analysis of prioritization for HCD studies in 2017 and 2018.

The Toronto Preservation Board on June 2, 2016, considered a report (May 16, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division regarding Authorization to Study Belmont-Hillsboro a Potential Heritage Conservation District
