Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 167-185 Queen Street East and Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 167 Queen Street East

Wilkie. As part of the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review, City Planning initiated a Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) to identify the area's heritage resources and to inform policy development in the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review Planning Study. The properties at 167-185 Queen Street East were identified as potential built heritage resources that could be further researched and evaluated for inclusion on the Heritage Register. Together with other Queen Street East properties included on the Heritage Register, the properties at 167-185 Queen Street East enrich an understanding of the area's sense of place and demonstrate the historic importance of this main street. On October 15, 2019, an application to demolish the multi-use building on the property at 167 Queen Street East was submitted to the Building Division and is currently under review. City staff prioritized and have completed further research and evaluation on the properties at 167-185 Queen Street East, and have determined that the properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for their design, associative and contextual value. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition

3. If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council. 4. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed designation to the Conservation Review Board. 5. If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to designate the property.
