Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 38 Camden Street

The property at 38 Camden Street is identified as a contributing heritage property in the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District (HCD), which was adopted by City Council in October 2017 and is currently under appeal. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 38 Camden Street 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. The property at 38 Camden Street is the subject of a development application that is under appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). The proposed redevelopment of the site proposes the demolition of the listed heritage building. 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.

2. If there are no objections to the designation, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 3. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board. 4. 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 on the designation of the property.
