Origin

(April 20, 2011) Report from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division

Summary

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act the properties listed in Recommendation No. 1.  The properties are located on the west side of Church Street between Dundonald Street and the south side of Gloucester Street. All of the properties are included on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

 

Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the Church and Gloucester properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.  The designation of the properties would enable City Council to control alterations to the sites, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
