Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street, in connection with the redevelopment of the site and in conjunction with an appeal to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal and subsequent mediation of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for this property.
The conservation strategy is for the heritage properties at 139-143 Portland Street to be retained in situ with their street facing facades integrated into the new construction. The tower component of the project will be stepped back 3 metres from the roof ridge of the property, constituting an overall step back of approximately 9 metres from the front street facing facades of the properties. The existing form of the buildings behind the retained street facing façade would be rebuilt in-kind and the uses within each of the houses would continue to be residential. Further, the conservation strategy proposes rehabilitation and restoration of these heritage properties to their period of significance (time of construction) based on archival information.
