Designation of the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District Under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, and North Downtown Yonge Site and Area Specific Policy 382 - Official Plan Amendment 183 - Ontario Land Tribunal Hearing

The majority of the site and area specific policy was approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal in 2017, but remaining policies relating to heritage were consolidated with the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District appeals. The Ontario Land Tribunal has scheduled a 15-day hearing of the appeals of the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District and North Downtown Yonge site and area specific policy beginning June 3, 2024. As permitted by the Ontario Land Tribunal's modified procedural order, on February 28, 2024, the remaining appellants to the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District and North Downtown Yonge site and area specific policy filed proposed modifications to the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District Plan. The City Solicitor has reviewed the proposed modifications with City staff and has determined that further direction from City Council is required on this litigation matter.

3. City Council direct that all other information contained in Confidential Attachment 1 to this report from the City Solicitor is to remain confidential at the discretion of the City Solicitor, as it contains advice which is subject to solicitor-client privilege.
