(November 9, 2020) Report from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning

Summary

This report recommends that City Council include 162 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified through the Dundas Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue Built Form Study, completed and adopted by City Council in 2018, and which was subsequently appealed and subject to settlement at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.  All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register.

 

Roncesvalles Avenue and Dundas Street West are two significant commercial main streets in the west end of Toronto which have historically and continue to serve the surrounding community with a vibrant and varied mix of uses. Roncesvalles Avenue developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as transportation infrastructure drew residents to the adjacent neighbourhoods, while Dundas Street West's development can be traced back to its initial purpose as a major arterial road heading westward out of the city and connecting to other communities along the north shore of Lake Ontario. The area's historic context reflects waves of development and settlement, and supports a lively and dynamic streetscape composed of commercial main street buildings, adaptively reused houses, apartment buildings, and institutions.

 

The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
