As the city filed it

Following research and evaluation it has been determined that the property at 35 Kingsway Crescent meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

This Motion is urgent as the property is at risk of having its second floor and distinctive roof removed. These are some of its most significant heritage attributes. The heritage value of this property will be considerably undermined unless Council makes a decision immediately. The Toronto Preservation Board will consider the attached report (December 3, 2018) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, its Special Meeting on December 11, 2018 and will submit its decision to City Council.
