Staff have completed a Research and Evaluation Report for the properties at 47-59, 63-65 Huntley Street; 16-18 Linden Street; and 1-3, 7-11 Selby Street and determined that sixteen properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act under design/physical, associative/historical, and contextual value. As such, the properties are all significant built heritage resources. On June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act. The Bill 108 Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application.

A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) completed by ERA Architects Inc. and dated October 14, 2021 was submitted to support the application. None of the properties are on the Heritage Register. The City Clerk issued a complete application notice for the planning applications on February 4, 2022.The property owners agreed to extend the 90 day period under the Act until June 30, 2022. This Notice of Intention to Designate report must be considered by City Council before the end of the June 30, 2022 extension period.
