2. City Council include the following five properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion) attached as Attachment 4 to the report (May 24, 2022) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

1 Danforth Avenue

5 Donlands Avenue

Gary Miedema, Program Manager, Heritage Preservation, Urban Design, City Planning gave a presentation on Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Danforth Avenue (Segment 2) Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment.

This report recommends that City Council include 225 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The properties are good examples of the Main Street Commercial Row, Main Street Commercial Block, Bank, Place of Worship and Theatre typologies that support the historic context of the Danforth Avenue study area. All of the recommended 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 properties were identified through the Danforth Avenue Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA), and are located on Danforth Avenue, between the Don Valley and Coxwell Avenue. This report also presents the methodology and results of the Danforth Avenue CHRA including community consultation.

The 225 properties that are recommended for inclusion on the Heritage Register in this report reflect  building types that define, support, and maintain Danforth Avenue's historic main street character. The collection of historic main street buildings along Danforth Avenue, the vast majority of which were constructed between 1910 and 1929, define an often continuous streetwall of low-rise buildings, articulated by a rhythm of narrow storefronts with recessed entrances, and punctuated by landmark banks, places of worship, and theatres. All of these building types were consistently identified throughout consultations as important to the history of Danforth Avenue, and important to its contemporary identity and sense of place. Within these building types all 225 properties are considered significant heritage resources. 

The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.
