This report recommends that City Council include 24 properties along College Street identified in Recommendations 1 and 2 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register.  The College Street properties are found on both sides of the street between University Avenue and Bathurst Street.  All of the properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. 

The College Street properties were previously identified in the College Street Study, which was undertaken by the City's Planning beginning in 2013 and involved three Community Consultation meetings and four Stakeholder Advisory Committee meeting, including a walking tour.

City Council adopted the College Street Study Official Plan Amendment at its meeting of May 24, 2017, including a recommendation that "City Council direct the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services to report to the Toronto Preservation Board and Toronto and East York Community Council on the possibility for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register of the potential heritage resources identified in the study area as illustrated in Attachment 4."  The latter attachment (map) is appended as Attachment 1 to this report. 

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
