Summary

This report recommends that the Toronto Preservation Board endorse City Planning's decision to proceed from the Study Phase to the Plan Phase of the proposed Baby Point Heritage Conservation District (HCD).

 

The Baby Point HCD Study included the survey, analysis and evaluation of a study area that included the neighbourhoods of Baby Point and Old Millside, as well as city-owned parks on the eastern banks of the Humber River north of Bloor Street West. The purpose of this report is to summarize the findings of the HCD Study and make recommendations for the creation of an HCD Plan for the Baby Point neighbourhood as shown on Attachment 1, to commence in 2019.  In March 2015, City Council authorized and prioritized the Baby Point HCD Study. In March 2017, City staff, with a consultant team led by EVOQ Architecture, began a study of the potential for this area to be designated as an HCD under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. This study followed the Council-adopted Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto: Procedures, Policies and Terms of Reference.
