PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF ZONING BY-LAW 650-2026
 

The purpose and effect of Zoning By-law 650-2026 is to amend the Zoning By-law 569-2013, to add the properties in the Scarborough District of the City of Toronto, as listed below, to Zoning By-law 569-2013. The Zoning By-law Amendment is the outcome of the City-initiated study “Housing Action Plan: Incorporating Low-rise Residential Lands into Zoning By-law 569-2013”. These properties were excluded from the city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 at the time of its enactment, through a transition protocol, because of active zoning by-law amendment or site plan control applications. The Zoning by-law Amendment brings these lands into the city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 with zoning standards that are consistent with the applicable former municipal zoning by-law and consistent with city-wide zoning amendments.

Given that the amendments listed in this Notice apply to lands at multiple locations within the geographic boundaries of the Scarborough District of the City of Toronto, a key map has not been provided with this notice.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER O.18 AND

CITY OF TORONTO, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

34 JASON ROAD

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY

TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 34 Jason Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.

Reasons for Designation

The property at 34 Jason Road is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value and meets Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria for municipal designation.

Description

The subject property at 34 Jason Road is located on the north side of Jason Road at the intersection of Riverdale Drive within the Thistletown community of Etobicoke. Constructed c.1921 atop foundations believed to date to the mid-19th century and featuring an extension c.1926-33, the property contains a single-family house form building that incorporates the foundation of a former piggery that was part of the Elm Bank property belonging to the Grubb family, who were some of the earliest post-colonial settlers within the present-day Thistletown community. It was later home to the notable photographer Bruce Metcalfe, and his family.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value

Design or Physical Value

The property at 34 Jason Road has design and physical value as a rare example of the adaptive reuse of an agricultural property for residential purposes. The incorporation of the historic stone foundations of the piggery building that was associated with the Elm Bank farm for the c.1921 house form building was a conscious decision on the part of Dr. Irwin, who is responsible for initiating the twentieth-century residential subdivision of the historic Grubb property. Rather than demolishing the piggery, Dr. Irwin chose to build upon the foundations for what would have been both practical and aesthetic reasons, and as such it is an example of adaptive reuse. The inhabitation of the resultant house for over a century serves as a marker of the viability of such a decision and continues to communicate the design value of the decision to adaptively reuse historic foundations today.

Historical or Associative Value

The property at 34 Jason Road has historical and associative value as it incorporates the foundations of the piggery that was part of the Elm Bank property that was established c.1835 by John Grubb (1783-1850) and was farmed by his descendants. Constructed of the same stone used for the adjacent barn (the foundations of which were incorporated into the house at 32 Jason Road) and the residence at 23 Jason Road, the former piggery was an important component of the working farm, and of agricultural life, in the 19th century. The Grubb family are significant within Etobicoke and the local community for their role in settling Thistletown, located immediately north of 34 Jason Road, and attracting development to the surrounding area.

The property was subsequently subdivided by Dr. Eli Franklin Irwin, who is believed to have constructed the present-day structure atop the foundations of the piggery and whose daughter, Irma, subsequently resided at 34 Jason Road with her husband Bruce Metcalfe and their two children until 1961, during which time the surrounding community evolved from a rural agricultural landscape to a post-war residential subdivision. Dr. Irwin is responsible for transforming the surrounding neighbourhood from a primarily agricultural landscape into a 20th century suburban residential community and registered the plan of subdivision that resulted in the present-day landscape.

The property at 34 Jason Road has historical and associative value as it has direct associations with Cecil Bruce Metcalfe (1891-1962), along with his wife Irma and their two children, who resided at 34 Jason Road from 1926 until 1961. Metcalfe was a prolific musician and musical teacher, a prominent member of the Weston and Thistletown communities, and a celebrated photographer and artist. His appointments included positions with the Romanelli Orchestra, the Hambourg Conservatory and the Weston and Mount Dennis Choral Society. His photography, the majority of which he would have produced while residing at 34 Jason Road, is included in the collections of the Public Archives Canada and the J. Paul Getty Museum Collection, was featured in an exhibition in 1944 at the Royal Ontario Museum, and illustrated Canadian Nature Magazine’s handbook publication, Native Ferns. A respected naturalist, his tenure at 34 Jason Road on the banks of the western branch of the Humber River influenced his artistic style and the subject matter he chose to represent.

Contextual Value

Contextually, the property at 34 Jason Road has cultural heritage value as it is visually and historically linked to the adjacent properties at 32 Jason Road, 19 Jason Road, and 23 Jason Road which are remnants of the historic Elm Bank property. Established c.1835 by the Scottish immigrant John Grubb (1783-1850), Elm Bank was a 150-acre farm located on the banks of the Humber River straddling Albion Road within York Township. The single-family house built c.1921 incorporated portions of the foundations of the piggery associated with Elm Bank, built of the same fieldstone used to construct the foundations of the former barn that were incorporated into the neighbouring house at 32 Jason Road, as well as the residence at 23 Jason Road. Collectively, these properties are associated with mid-19th century agricultural settlement within present-day Etobicoke, the pioneering Grubb family, and the development of the Thistletown community.

The property at 34 Jason Road also has contextual value as it maintains and supports the character of the area, and the subdivision established by Dr. Irwin which led to the residential development of the community. The house is situated on a rise of land overlooking parkland to the south and west, with generously landscaped yards and fieldstone retaining walls. The low-rise, one and a half storey house form building constructed atop the historic piggery foundations was one of the first if not the first houses built following the plan of subdivision. The house helped to establish the prevailing low-rise character of this community, which is defined by detached early to mid-20th century houses set on lots with generous landscaping and no sidewalks that contribute to the present-day semi-rural context.

Heritage Attributes

Design and Physical Value

The following heritage attributes contribute to the design and physical value for the property at 34 Jason Road as they support an understanding of the property as an example of the adaptive reuse of a formerly agricultural structure for residential purposes:

• The stone foundations of the former piggery, roughly rectangular in shape and comprising the westerly portion of the present-day structure.
• The “L” extension, including the first-floor stone walls and second half-storey with high pitched gabled roof, which reflect the adaptive reuse of the former piggery for residential purposes.
• The various window openings, the verandah, and the secondary entrance within the crux of the “L,” which permitted the structure’s use for residential purposes.

Historical and Associative Value

The following heritage attributes contribute to the historical and associative value of the property at 34 Jason Road as they support the historical association of the property with the Grubb family and the Elm Bank farm complex, as well as its subsequent use as a single-family house inhabited by the Metcalfe family:

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER O.18 AND

CITY OF TORONTO, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

4150 YONGE STREET

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY

TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 4150 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.

Reasons for Designation

The property at 4150 Yonge Street is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value and meets Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria for municipal designation.

Description

The subject property at 4150 Yonge Street is located on the west side of Yonge Street, north of Wilson Avenue, within the York Mills neighbourhood of North York. Constructed circa 1860, the property contains a pair of single-storey vernacular Ontario Cottage style workers cottages that were relocated to their present location between 1985 and 1987. The subject buildings were residential until their relocation, and have since 1987 operated as a restaurant, featuring a contemporary addition at the rear and are today connected by a single-storey link.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value

Design and Physical Value

The property at 4150 Yonge Street has design and physical value as the two workers cottages are representative examples of the vernacular Ontario Cottage style within the community of York Mills. The Ontario Cottage style was a Regency-inspired vernacular style prevalent throughout Southern Ontario in the nineteenth century. At its simplest form, the style is comprised of a single-storey, hipped- or side-gable roof house with a symmetrical front façade comprising a single door flanked by windows. The cladding material (brick, stone, or wood board), and the extent of ornamentation, reflected both local conditions and materials, and the economic means of the builder and/or inhabitant. Both workers cottages located on the subject property maintaining their single-storey massing, symmetrical front façade, and side-gable roof. The 1985-1987 relocation and rehabilitation of both structures restored period-appropriate features and elements of the design, including the roughcast cladding, wood window and door trim work, shutters, cedar shake roof, and stone foundation.

Historical and Associative Value

The property at 4150 Yonge Street has historical and associative value as it has direct associations with the Hogg family of York Mills, being two of the three workers cottages that were constructed on the Hogg’s Hollow Subdivision Plan that was filed by John and William Hogg in 1856. While the plan of subdivision was ultimately not successful, it represented a period of development and vision on the part of the Hogg family for the growth of York Mills, and the two remaining workers cottages are representative of the optimism and development of York Mills in the mid-nineteenth century.

The preservation of the two cottages as part of the office park project in the 1980s undertaken by Cadillac Fairview and London Life, including their rehabilitation for commercial use, was a significant development at the time and evidence of their value to the community of York Mills and North York as they reflect the neighbourhood’s milling and industrial history, as well as serve as reminders of the working class history and residents that lived in York Mills from the nineteenth and through the twentieth century.

Heritage Attributes

Design and Physical Value

Attributes that contribute to 4150 Yonge Street being a representative example of the vernacular Ontario Cottage style:

• The scale, form, and massing of the subject buildings, containing two formerly detached single-storey house form buildings located west of Yonge Street on the south side of a private road
• The low-pitched side-gable roofs with cedar shake shingles, each with a brick chimney protruding from the western side of their roof peaks
• The symmetrical arrangement of the front façades, comprised of two two-over-two wood frame windows on either side of a simple single front door
• The wood front doors at centre, both set within simple wood door frames and below rectangular transom windows
• The roughcast stucco cladding on both structures and on all visible facades
• The exposed stone foundations
• The deep side-gable overhangs on the north and south facades
• The "ell" extension extending from the rear (south) of the former 26 John Street, with covered porch and a shed roof extending from a cross gable roof punctured by two brick chimneys
• The east façade of the former 26 John Street facing towards Yonge Street, with a single off-centre six-over-six hung wood window within a wooden window frame
• The west façade of the former 22 John Street, with returned eaves and roughcast cladding
• The “ell” extension extending from the rear (south) of the former 22 John Street, with cross gable roof punctured by a brick chimney at the roof peak

*The stone addition extending from the rear of both houses and the link connecting the two front facades are not identified as heritage attributes

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER O.18 AND

CITY OF TORONTO, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

328 BELLAMY ROAD NORTH

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY

TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 328 Bellamey Road North under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.

Reasons for Designation

The subject property at 328 Bellamy Road North is located on the west side of Bellamy Road North, south of Lawrence Avenue East, within the Golfdale-Cedarbrae-Woburn neighbourhood of Scarborough. Constructed in 1867, the property contains a two-and-a-half-storey bank style farmhouse, with later additions constructed in 1959 and 1983. The subject property served as a residence prior to its conversion into a community space related to the Bendale Bible Chapel, which it continues to serve as today.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value

Design and Physical Value

The property at 328 Bellamy Road North has design and physical value as a representative example of a farmhouse constructed in the bank style. The bank style of architecture was a vernacular form of rural construction that was adapted for both residential and agricultural purposes. Bank barns and homesteads are present throughout Europe, including the United Kingdom from where many settlers within Upper Canada immigrated from, and would have brought local vernacular variations to Canada and the United States. Whether applied to a residence or barn, the bank style is readily identified by the structure being built into a slope, or embankment, allowing direct ground-level access to both the lower and second floors. A third floor accessed via internal circulation, may be present. 328 Bellamy Road North is an excellent representative example of a bank style residence, with the second floor accessed on the primary (north) façade, and the lower floor accessed from the south façade facing towards West Highland Creek. From the north, the structure presents as a vernacular side gable Ontario cottage with symmetrical façade, while from the south it presents as a larger agricultural building reflecting the historic use of the house for both residential and agricultural purposes.

Historical and Associative Value

The property at 328 Bellamy Road North has historical and associative value due to its association with John Perryman Wheler, a prominent resident within Scarborough Township through the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Wheler purchased the property from King’s College in 1845. Wheler had settled on the property in 1830, marrying Jane Devenish of Scarborough in 1835 and constructing their home in 1867, at which time he was a major figure in Scarborough’s agricultural and political landscape. Wheler was elected to Scarborough Township’s first Council in 1850 and served as Reeve eighteen times between 1851 and 1875 while concurrently operating a highly successful saw and grist mill on the property. Wheler was President of the Reform Association of Scarborough Township and served as the Township's License Inspector for establishments selling alcohol. Wheler died in 1883, and the property was sold in 1889, however the Wheler family continued to reside in Scarborough and was active in local politics, including J.P. Wheler's grandson, A.P. Wheler, who served as Reeve in 1946.

Heritage Attributes

Design and Physical Value

Attributes that contribute to 328 Bellamy Road North being a representative example of the vernacular bank style of architecture:

• The scale, form, and massing of the subject property, containing a detached two-and-a-half-storey house form building built into the embankment on the west side of Bellamy Road North to the north of West Highland Creek.
• The side gable roof, punctured by brick chimneys at either end of the roof ridge and with traces of the historic wood bargeboard on the west gable eaves and the wooden finial at the roof ridge.
• The brick cladding, comprising red brick with buff brick detailing present at the corner quoins and the window surrounds and lintels.
• The rear (south) façade, presenting as two-and-a-half storeys with two door openings on the ground level and a single door opening and multiple window openings above.
• The front (north) façade, presenting as one-and-a-half storeys, with a central entrance and the two window openings on the west side of the entrance.
• The side (west) façade, presenting as two-and-a-half storeys with a door opening on the ground level bound by window openings on either side.
• The embankment which presents a negative slope from north to south and is visible on the west façade.
