This report recommends that City Council revise its decision of August 25, 26, 27, and 28, 2014 to allow for the phased issuance of permits and that City Council amend former City of Toronto By-law No. 531-82 designating the properties at 26 Lombard Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act to revise the Reasons for Designation in accordance with the 2005 changes to the Ontario Heritage Act. The site contains two late 19th century former industrial buildings known historically as the R. G. McLean Company Building (1890) and the Barclay, Clark and Company Building (1894) that were recognized on the first City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1973 and designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1982.  The amending of the designating by-law will ensure that all of the cultural heritage values and attributes of the properties at 26 Lombard Street are protected. 

City Council has approved alterations to the heritage property at 26 Lombard Street as part of a development application for a 45-storey residential condominium that will retain the heritage buildings and authorized a heritage easement agreement with the property owner.  Since Council's approval the applicant has requested changes to the timing of certain heritage requirements to allow for the phased issuance of permits for the development.

The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to City Council that:

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to enter into a heritage easement agreement under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act with the owners of 62 Charles Street East and 64 Charles Street East in a form and content satisfactory to the Chief Planner and City Solicitor.

2.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council authorizing the entering into of the heritage easement agreement for the properties at 62 Charles Street East and 64 Charles Street East.

This report recommends that Toronto City Council grant authority for the execution of a Heritage Easement Agreement under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the properties at 62 and 64 Charles Street East and that Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce any necessary bill in Council to this effect.  The subject properties are included as part of proposed development that would allow for the construction of a new 55 storey residential tower and an 8 storey office building.  A Heritage Easement Agreement will allow for the protection of the designated heritage properties in perpetuity.

The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to City Council that:

1.         City Council consent to the demolition of the designated property at 500 Lake Shore Boulevard West under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act subject to the following terms and conditions:

a.         Prior to introduction of Bills in Council for Official Plan and  Zoning By-law Amendment Application File No.13 204585 STE 20 OZ, the owner shall:

i.          Enter into and register a Heritage Easement Agreement with the City for the protection and long term maintenance of the heritage property located at 500 Lake Shore Boulevard West to the satisfaction of the Manager of Heritage Preservation Services and the City Solicitor. The HEA will secure all of the conditions contained in this report.

ii.         Provide a detailed Dismantling, Storage and Reconstruction Plan, satisfactory to the Manager of Heritage Preservation Services, to be prepared by a qualified heritage consultant that:

a.         Details the dismantling, storage and reconstruction of the south and west elevations with partial reconstruction of the east elevation of the Loblaw Groceteria Building in accordance with the February 5, 2015 Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc. and includes photo-documentation of the as-found condition of the heritage structure.

b.         Include a detailed cost estimate with descriptions and specifications for the work for the purpose of an indexed Letter of Credit to be secured within the Heritage Easement Agreement.

b.         Prior to final Site Plan Approval for Official Plan and  Zoning By-law Amendment Application File No.13 204585 STE 20 OZ, the owner shall prepare and provide the following to the satisfaction of the Manager, Heritage Preservation Services and in accordance with the approved Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc. dated February 5, 2015 and the approved Dismantling, Storage and Reconstruction Plan:

i.          Site plans and drawings.

vi.        A letter of credit to secure the implementation of the approved Interpretation Plan.

vii.       A record of the as-found condition of the building including architectural drawings and photographs keyed to plans and elevations of all visible interiors and exteriors.

c.         Prior to the issuance of any heritage permit for the proposal, including a heritage permit related to dismantling, demolition, shoring, excavation and rebuilding of any building or structure on the subject property:

i.          The owner shall have received approval from City Council for the related Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment, and satisfied all of the conditions contained in Recommendation 1(a) in the report (February 12, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division.

ii.         Provide a Letter of Substantial Completion for the reconstruction of 500 Lake Shore Boulevard West, and for the implementation of the Interpretation Plan, signed by the project architect and heritage consultant to the satisfaction of the Manager, Heritage Preservation Services.

2.         City Council require the owner to withdraw its appeal of the demolition permit currently before the Ontario Municipal Board and, in the event that the owner does not withdraw its appeal of the demolition permit on the basis of Council’s proposed consent on the terms and conditions specified in Recommendation No. 1 in the report (February 12, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request that the Ontario Municipal Board dismiss the appeal or that identical terms and conditions be required in any Order of the Board requiring that the municipality consent to the demolition or removal of a building or structure pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act.

3.         City Council grant authority for execution of a Heritage Easement Agreement to secure heritage matters related to 500 Lake Shore Boulevard West under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act and authorize the City Solicitor to introduce any necessary bill in Council.

The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to City Council that:

1.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 4200 Eglinton Avenue West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 4200 Eglinton Avenue West (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment No. 3 to the report (January 27, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division.

2.         If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

3.         If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board.

4.         If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council’s decision on the designation of the property.

5.         City Council grant authority for the execution of a Heritage Easement Agreement under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act with the owner of the property at 4200 Eglinton Avenue West.

6.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bills in Council authorizing the entering into of the Heritage Easement Agreement.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 4200 Eglinton Avenue West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and grant authority for the execution of a Heritage Easement Agreement with property owner.  The city-owned property is located on the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue West and Royal York Road and contains a detached house form building known historically as the Mary Reid House, which is listed on the City of Toronto's heritage register.

In 2014, Build Toronto advertised the sale of the property.  According to the policies in the City's Official Plan, when a City-owned heritage property is transferred to private ownership, the City will designate the property and will secure a Heritage Easement Agreement.

Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 4200 Eglinton Avenue West (Mary Reid House) meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation of the property would enable City Council to manage alterations that will affect the property's heritage attributes, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to City Council that:

1.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 40 Hanna Avenue (Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company Complex) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 40 Hanna Avenue (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment No. 3 to the report (January 26, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division.

2.         If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

3.         If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board.

4.         If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council’s decision on the designation of the property.

5.         City Council grant authority for the execution of a Heritage Easement Agreement under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act with the owner of the property at 40 Hanna Avenue.

6.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bills in Council authorizing the entering into of the Heritage Easement Agreement.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 40 Hanna Avenue (which includes convenience addresses at 99 Atlantic Avenue, 38 Hanna Avenue, 2, 22, 24 and 24A Liberty Street and 1 Snooker Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and to grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement with the property owners.  Located on Hanna Avenue where it extends from Liberty Street to Snooker Street in Liberty Village, the site contains a former manufacturing complex originally developed by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company that is listed on the City of Toronto's heritage register (formerly known as the Inventory of Heritage Properties).

The owners have submitted an application to develop the site, which would preserve the existing factory buildings and the detached boiler house and smokestack while removing the more recent additions to the property. 

The property at 40 Hanna Avenue is being recommended for designation at this time to ensure that all of the heritage values and attributes of the site are identified and protected.

The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to City Council that:

1.         City Council include the property at 189 Mutual Street (John W. Hare house) on the City of Toronto Heritage Register.

2.         City Council include the property at 191 Mutual Street (Samuel G. Watson house) on the City of Toronto Heritage Register.

3.         City Council include the property at 193 Mutual Street (Mary A. Strutt house) on the City of Toronto Heritage Register.

4.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 189 Mutual Street (John W. Hare house) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 189, 191, 193 Mutual Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment No. 3 to the report (January 30, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division.

5.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 191 Mutual Street (Samuel G. Watson house) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 189, 191, 193 Mutual Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment No. 3 to the report (January 30, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division.

6.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 193 Mutual Street (Mary A. Strutt house) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 189, 191, 193 Mutual Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment No. 3 to the report (January 30, 2015) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division.

7.         If there are no objections to the designations in accordance with Section 29(6) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the properties under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

8.         If there are objections in accordance with Section 29(7) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board.

9.         If the designations are referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision on the designation of the properties.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 189, 191 and 193 Mutual Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value and include the properties on the City of Toronto Heritage Register.  The three properties are two-and-a-half-storey brick row houses, built in 1887 and located on the east side of Mutual Street, north of Gerrard Street East.

Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the properties at 189, 191 and 193 Mutual Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.  The designation of the properties and their inclusion on the City of Toronto Heritage Register would identify the properties' cultural heritage values and heritage attributes and enable City Council to control alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Planning and Growth Management Committee that:

1.         City Council adopt the amended Council-approved prioritization system and criteria, as shown in Attachments 1A-16A to the report (February 3, 2015) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division.

2.         City Council authorize a revised West Queen West boundary for study as a potential Heritage Conservation District, and identify the revised area shown in Attachment No. 1B to the report (February 3, 2015) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, as the Heritage Conservation District Study Area for the district.

3.         City Council authorize the following areas for study as potential Heritage Conservation Districts:  Baby Point, Bloor West Village, Cabbagetown Southwest, the Distillery District, Kensington Market and the Kingsway, and identify the areas shown in Attachment No. 2B-8B to the report (February 3, 2015, 2015) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, as the Heritage Conservation District Study Areas for each authorized district.

4.         City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, to initiate the study of the West Queen West, Distillery District and Kensington Market districts in 2015, as a result of the application of the prioritization criteria.

5.         City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, to initiate the study of Baby Point, Bloor West Village, Cabbagetown Southwest, Casa Loma and the Kingsway district in 2016, as a result of the application of the prioritization criteria.

6.         City Council direct staff to review the nomination process for Heritage Conservation Districts and to develop criteria to evaluate the quality and merit of nominations for Heritage Conservation District studies.

City Council has supported the development of a prioritization process to determine the sequence in which City Planning will conduct Heritage Conservation District (HCD) studies. This process was developed and adopted by Council in 2012. Nominated HCD study areas are assessed for intensity of development activity, existing level of heritage protection, the overall fragility of the area and City planning priorities as key criteria. Prioritization also takes into account the allocation of staff resources, Council direction and other considerations.

Staff have reviewed 16 nominated HCDs. Based on the prioritization analysis, staff have identified three potential HCDs for study in 2015, and five for study in 2016. Staff have also made minor refinements to the methodology for determining priority under each of the criteria, and recommend that potential archaeological resources be added as a fifth criterion.

As a result of the prioritization process it is recommended that West Queen West, Kensington Market and the Distillery District be studied as potential heritage conservation districts in 2015. In addition, five potential HCDs have been recommended for study in 2016: Baby Point, Bloor West Village, Cabbagetown Southwest, Casa Loma and the Kingsway.
