Item - 2017.TE24.17

Item TE24.17 was withdrawn from the Agenda.

This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations to the property at 60 Mill Street (Rack House D) in the Distillery District for the purpose of constructing a 6-7 storey addition on top of the heritage resource. Rack House D is the only surviving warehouse from the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery that has not been adapted to a new use. The building is currently unoccupied and has not been used since distilling operations on the site ended in 1990.

The development proposal described in this report is the result of Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) led mediation relating to the Official Plan and Zoning Amendment Application appeals for the proposed development of a 29 storey addition on Rack House D for hotel and residential uses. At its meeting on March 28, 2017 City Council adopted a report (March 21, 2017) from the City Solicitor supporting the current proposed development subject to a number of conditions including Council approval of the alterations to the heritage property at 60 Mill Street under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Toronto Preservation Board on April 20, 2017, considered a report (April 12, 2017) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning regarding Alterations to a Designated Heritage Property and Amendment of Heritage Easement Agreement - 60 Mill Street (Rackhouse D).
