This report recommends that City Council include 165 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified through the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (Coxwell Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue) - Official Plan Amendment 420 adopted by Council in 2018 and is now in force as of February 2020 following mediation at the LPAT on December 4 and 5, 2019.

Danforth Avenue, from Coxwell Avenue to just east of Woodbine Avenue, is defined by

a largely intact early twentieth-century streetscape, characterized by a predominantly main street building type - rows of two-storey brick storefront buildings articulated by intermittent three-storey block buildings. The consistency of this streetscape is a result of its rapid development over a short period of time in the 1910s and 1920s due the annexation of this portion of Danforth Avenue in 1909, the expansion of streetcar service to the area in 1913, the sale of large parts of the Clergy Reserve in the same year, and the completion of the Prince Edward Viaduct over the Don River in 1918.

Including non-designated properties in the municipal register is a means to identify properties that have cultural heritage value or interest to the community. 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. 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.

Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
