The report contained several recommendations which were adopted by City Council, including a recommendation requiring the applicant to provide on-site parkland dedication. On January 21, 2019, the Toronto Preservation Board adopted staff's recommendations to designate the property at 64 Wellesley Street East under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In light of the recommendations arising from Toronto Preservation Board, staff are seeking Council direction to delete one of the recommendations (Recommendation 3, item 32.19) previously adopted by City Council on May 22, 2018 and replace it with Recommendation 1 (noted below). Further, a second recommendation (2) is also added to reflect the need for a Heritage Easement agreement in the event that the LPAT approves the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment in whole or in part.
