John's Ward (also known as "The Ward"). The second group of ten properties are located on River Street, north of Queen Street East and south of Regent Park, and include eight Bay-and-Gable style, semi-detached house-form buildings and two Romanesque Revival style, semi-detached house-form buildings which were retained through community activism in the development of Trefann Court that marked a dramatic change in approach to urban renewal projects in the area. The thirteen properties being recommended for inclusion on the Register are as follows: 346 Yonge Street (including entrance addresses 1, 3, and 5 Elm Street), University-Rosedale - Ward 11 7 Elm Street, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 13 Elm Street, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 34 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 36 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 38 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 40 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 42 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 44 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 46 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 48 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 50 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 52 River Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 The subject properties recommended for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest. On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Ontario Heritage Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties for a period of two years 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 Ontario Heritage Act also states that should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. 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. 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. Following further research and evaluation, staff may recommend designation of the property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and seek appropriate conservation.
