Item - 2020.TE16.16

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:  

1. City Council include the following five properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (June 3, 2020) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

106 Queen Street East

108 Queen Street East

110 Queen Street East

112 Queen Street East

114 Queen Street East.

This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 106-114 Queen Street East on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value. This row of five attached properties completed together in 1886-1887 contains three-storey, Victorian-era brick, mixed-use (residential and commercial) buildings located on the north side of Queen Street East between Mutual and Jarvis streets in the Garden District neighbourhood. The five properties comprise part of a longer terrace of eight buildings in total. The three properties at 100-104 Queen Street East are concurrently being considered in a separate report, as they form the subject of an active development site and application at 98-104 Queen Street East and 3 Mutual Street.

Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that each of the five properties at 106-114 Queen Street East meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register.

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