The proposed change is a departure from the approved alterations and is not currently reflected in the permitted alterations contained within the Heritage Easement Agreement. Therefore, Council approval is needed to revise the alteration approval and to amend the Heritage Easement Agreement. The proposed change is the panelization of two additional bays (10.9 metres wide) of the south building at 266 King Street East along the Ontario Street frontage. Overall, the alteration conserves the onsite and adjacent heritage properties and is consistent with the heritage policy framework.
