Summary
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 50 King Street East (which includes the entrance address at 2 Toronto Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and to grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement. The property at 50 King Street East was listed on the inaugural City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage properties (now known as the Heritage Register) in 1973 as part of the first group of properties identified.
Located on the northwest corner of King Street East and Toronto Street, the property contains a building completed in 1887 for the Quebec Bank, which was extended with a complementary west addition. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 50 King Street East meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City also applies when considering properties for inclusion on its Heritage Register.
The property at 50 King Street East is a contributing property in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (HCD) adopted by City Council. The owner proposes to conserve the Quebec Bank and the west addition, and has agreed to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement with the City of Toronto.
Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
