14 McKenzie Avenue - Demolition of a Structure within the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District and Approval of a Replacement Structure

This means it is "not of national, provincial, citywide or contextual heritage significance," does "not contribute to the heritage character of South Rosedale" or is "too recent to be accurately evaluated for their heritage value." The South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District Plan allows for the demolition of an "Unrated" building provided that the replacement building design complies with the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District plan guidelines for new buildings and the applicable zoning by-laws. The proposed new 2-storey detached house meets the general intent of the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District Plan's guidelines and would not detract from nearby rated heritage buildings in the immediate context. The proposed new building at 14 McKenzie Avenue is also the subject of a Minor Variance application which will be considered by the Committee of Adjustment after City Council has made a decision with respect to the required approvals under the Ontario Heritage Act. The recommendations contained within this report relate solely to approvals required under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act.

City Council approve the replacement structure for 14 McKenzie Avenue as shown in the plans and elevations submitted by the applicant and prepared by Contempo Studio dated May 2024 and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, and that the replacement structure be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted plans; b.
