43, 44 and 45 Price Street - Demolition of Buildings Within the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District and Approval of Replacement Buildings

As such it is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, although all of its buildings are noted as being "Unrated" in the HCD Plan. "Unrated" buildings are those that "are not of national, provincial, citywide or contextual heritage significance, do not contribute to the heritage character of South Rosedale or are too recent to be accurately evaluated." The SRHCD Plan allows for the demolition of an "Unrated" building provided that the replacement building design complies with the SRHCD plan guidelines for new buildings and the applicable zoning by-laws. The demolition would allow for the construction of a new 3-storey club house structure on Price Street and a small single storey building in the southeast corner of the club grounds. Both new buildings meet the general intent of the SRHCD Plan's guidelines and would not detract from rated heritage buildings in the immediate context. On October 30, 2024, a related Zoning By-law Amendment application was made for 30, 40, 43, 44 and 45 Price Street for the construction of a new clubhouse for the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club. The recommendations in this report relate solely to the approvals required under the Ontario Heritage Act.
