The Toronto Preservation Board:  

1. Endorses the preparation of the Cabbagetown Southwest Heritage Conservation District Plan.

2. Endorses the research and evaluation of properties identified in Attachment 4 in the report (June 6, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.

This report summarize the findings of the Cabbagetown Southwest Heritage Conservation District (HCD) study and recommends that the Toronto Preservation Board endorse City Planning's decision to proceed from the Study Phase to the Plan Phase for the proposed Cabbagetown Southwest HCD for the portion of the neighbourhood generally bound by Sherbourne Street, Carlton Street, Parliament Street and Shuter Street as shown on Attachment 1: Proposed Cabbagetown Southwest HCD Boundary.

In June 2018, 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. The Cabbagetown Southwest HCD Study included the survey, analysis and evaluation of the Cabbagetown South neighbourhood and solicited feedback from a Community Advisory Group and the community.
