1. Received the report (August 10, 2017) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the Acting Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building for information.
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to respond to the direction from Planning and Growth Management Committee to create business process improvements between City Planning and Toronto Building to identify buildings with potential heritage significance which may be under threat by way of demolition. This report highlights the inter-divisional implementation of a new electronic circulation process within the existing electronic building permit system. The new process is intended to identify and facilitate critical time sensitive information sharing between the two divisions. As a result of the changes, Toronto Building automatically notifies Heritage Preservation Services (HPS) when a demolition permit is being sought for a property which has been identified by Heritage Preservation Services as having potential heritage value.
