This report recommends that City Council include 21 properties identified in Recommendations 1 and 2 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register.  The Broadview Avenue properties are found on both sides of the street between Danforth Avenue and O'Connor Drive and include commercial, low-rise apartment blocks and residential buildings and a place of worship which define, support and maintain the early historical character and scale of this section of Broadview Avenue.  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 Broadview Avenue properties were previously identified in the Broadview Avenue Planning Study, which was undertaken by the City's Planning Division beginning in 2014 and involved three Community Consultation meetings and four Stakeholder Advisory Committee meetings.  Part of this study included the creation of a heritage inventory which identified buildings with heritage potential for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. 

At its meeting of June 7, 2016, City Council adopted the Final Report - Broadview Avenue Planning Study - City Initiated Official Plan Amendment, Broadview Avenue Urban Design Guidelines that includes a Heritage Inventory.  In Recommendation 4 of the decision to adopt the report, City Council directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to report to the Toronto Preservation Board and the Toronto and East York Community Council by the end of 2016 on the heritage potential of properties identified for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in Urban Design Guidelines attached to the report.

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