The recommended properties were identified as contributing properties in the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Plan, adopted by City Council on March 10, 2016 (currently under appeal). The recommended properties include a grouping of Romanesque mixed-use buildings on Charles Street West, a pair of semi-detached house form buildings on Irwin Avenue, a Second Empire building on Isabella Street, a commercial laneway building, and two mixed-use buildings on Yonge Street. On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties that have not been designated but Council believes to be of "cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years. As of January 1, 2023, should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and / or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application that would trigger a Prescribed Event, the property must be listed in the heritage register prior to the Prescribed Event occurring to designate a property. This requirement does not apply to a Prescribed Event that has occurred prior to January 1, 2023. A "Prescribed Event" is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and / or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. Currently none of the recommended properties are subject to an application under the Planning Act. The 11 recommended properties were selected to allow Council to consider their inclusion on the Heritage Register prior to a Prescribed Event occurring. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.
