Origin
Summary
This report recommends that Council affirm its decision of July 14, 15, and 16, 2021 (Item TE26.20) stating its intention to designate the properties at 1354, 1358, and 1360 Queen Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The City has received an objection to the Notice of Intention to Designate on behalf of the property owner within the statutory timeline.
The properties at 1354 (including active entrances 2, 4 and 6 brock Avenue and 1356 Queen Street West), 1358, and 1360 Queen Street West are located at the northwest corner of Queen Street West and Brock Avenue.
Staff have reviewed the objections raised by the owner and are of the opinion that despite these objections, the properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act under all three categories of design and physical, historical and associative and contextual values.
As the properties have cultural heritage value or interest and meet the prescribed criteria pursuant to Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, staff are of the opinion that these properties should be designated. Designation enables Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act
(OHA), which included amendments to the listing and designation processes. The Bill 108 Amendments to the OHA came into force on July 1, 2021.
City Council has until December 5, 2021, 90 days from the date of the objection, to make a decision on this objection.
