City Council on April 3 and 4, 2013, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council amend Draft Official Plan Amendment 199 so that the references to view corridors concerning Grange House in Grange Park exempt park infrastructure including, but not limited to, playground structure, lighting strategies, seating areas, landscape features and housing which is used solely for the purpose of accommodating mechanical operational needs of the park.

 

2.         City Council amend View A28 in the Prominent and Heritage Buildings, Structures and landscapes in Schedule 4 of Draft Official Plan Amendment 199 to read as follows:

 

 a.           The view of the prominent clock tower above the ridge of the west portion of the fire station building from all four corners of the intersection of Queen Street East at Woodbine Avenue.

 

3.         City Council amend Draft Official Plan Amendment 199 by adding to the end of the sidebar following Policy 4:

 

"The City, in consultation with faith groups, will establish a protocol for the protection of places of worship with heritage value."

4.         City Council amend Schedule 4 "Prominent and Heritage Buildings, Structures and Landscapes" to include the following views:

 

a.             A29. Old Mill Bridge [H]

The bridge can been seen in its entirety from Etienne Brule Park, from the pathway just north of the parking lot looking south, and from the end of the pathway next to the Old Mill Tennis Courts looking north-west.

 

b.                   C7. Humber River

The Humber River and natural ravine setting can be viewed clearly from both sides of the Bloor Street West Bridge (looking north and south), the Old Mill Bridge (looking north-west and south) and the Dundas Street West Bridge (looking north-west and south-east).

 

5.         City Council amend the Official Plan substantially in accordance with the proposed Official Plan Amendment appended as Attachment 1 to the report (February 4, 2013) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, as amended by Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, above.

 

6.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the proposed Official Plan Amendment as may be required.

 

7.         City Council declare by resolution to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing that this Official Plan Amendment:

 

a.         conforms with Provincial Plans or does not conflict with them;

 

b.         has regard to the matters of Provincial Interest listed in Section 2 of the  Planning Act; and

 

c.         is consistent with policy statements issued under subsection 3(1) of the Planning Act.

 

8.         City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to work with the Archdiocese and any other interested faith groups to establish a protocol for the listing, designation, alteration and other treatment of heritage places of worship.

a.         conforms with Provincial Plans or does not conflict with them;

 

b.         has regard to the matters of Provincial Interest listed in Section 2 of the  Planning Act; and

Origin

(September 20, 2012) Report from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division

Summary

This report recommends the adoption of an amendment to the Official Plan to adopt new policies for heritage resources as part of the statutory Five Year Review of the Official Plan.  The proposed policies reflect changes to Provincial legislation and improve heritage resource conservation practices throughout the City.  The proposed amendment also adds policies to the Public Realm section of the Official Plan to provide for the protection of important views to landmark buildings and structures, important natural heritage views and the downtown/financial district skyline.

 

As a result of consultation undertaken with respect to the proposed policies, the proposed Official Plan heritage policies that were before Council on July 11, 12 and 13, 2012 have been revised.
