The proposed policies are intended to allow opportunities for contextually appropriate growth and change, conserve and enhance historic and culturally significant attributes of Queen Street West, guide public and private investment in public spaces, and encourage sustainable choices in new buildings and additions. The proposed amendments align with the recommendations of the West Queen West Heritage Conservation District Study, and the emerging direction for the West Queen West and Parkdale Main Street Heritage Conservation District Plans, which are under development and will be presented to the Toronto Preservation Board and City Council in Q3 2020. A multiple listing report identifying heritage properties in the study area will be presented to the Toronto Preservation Board and Council in Q2 2020. In addition to the proposed Official Plan Amendment, this report recommends that Transportation Services staff, in consultation with City Planning staff, undertake a review of the Queen Street West Right-of-Way between Bathurst Street and Roncesvalles Avenue and develop recommendations to prioritize the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit along the West Queen West corridor. The report further recommends City Planning staff prepare a Zoning By-law Amendment to implement the proposed policy framework.
