Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Don Mills Crossing Properties
This report recommends that City Council include 16 properties identified in Recommendation 1 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The properties are located within the Don Mills Crossing Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) study area. As part of the Don Mills Crossing Study, which resulted in the Don Mills Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 404), City Planning initiated a CHRA to ensure that all properties of cultural heritage value or interest were appropriately identified, understood and conserved as part of an up-to-date planning framework. The planning framework is supported by analysis of the broader context through a number of component studies, including the CHRA, to enable a thorough review of the area context. The CHRA Study Area (noted as 'Study Area' within this report) includes properties currently located between Leslie Street to the west, Barber Greene Road and Green Belt Drive to the north, and the Canadian National Railway line to the south and east. The CHRA identified a collection of company headquarters, institutional and clean industrial buildings constructed between 1950 and 1975 whose Modernist design, low-rise scale, and landscaped settings linked together by a series of curvilinear roads has resulted in a unique cultural heritage landscape informed by the Garden City principles combined with Modernist architecture style. This approach to architecture and a generous landscaped setting was fundamental to the planning of Don Mills. The CHRA also identified housing that responded to the principles of incorporating Modernist architecture in a landscaped setting. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. Properties on the City's Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the North York Community Council that: 1. City Council include the following properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 81 Barber Greene Road 789 Don Mills Road 849 Don Mills Road 1200 Eglinton Avenue East 15 Gervais Drive 33 Green Belt Drive 95-155 Leeward Glenway 1123 Leslie Street 1133 Leslie Street 1135 Leslie Street 44-52 Prince Andrew Place 20 Wynford Drive 39 Wynford Drive 50 Wynford Drive 90 Wynford Drive 100 Wynford Drive 2. City Council request staff to consider the Don Mills Crossing study area for further study as a cultural heritage landscape.

City Council listed the properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in 2017. The property at 445 Adelaide Street West contains a detached house form building dating to 1880, while the adjoining group of four-part row houses at 447-453 Adelaide Street West were completed in 1904. The properties at 445, 447, 449, 451 and 453 Adelaide Street West are identified as a contributing heritage properties in the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District (HCD), which was adopted by City Council in October, 2017 and is currently under appeal.

The properties at 445, 447, 449 and 451 Adelaide Street West are the subject of a development application that is under appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). The proposed redevelopment of the site proposes the demolition of the listed heritage buildings. The property at 453 Adelaide Street West is not part of the proposed development, but it forms the west end of the four-unit row houses at 447-453 Adelaide Street West that share a continuous parapet with decorative detailing along the principal (north) elevation.

Amendment of Designating By-law to Correct Legal Description- 440 Unwin Avenue
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to amend City of Toronto By-law 1144-2019 designating the property at 440 Unwin Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act to correct the legal description. By-Law 1144-2019 designating the property at 440 Unwin Avenue, which contains the Richard L. Hearn Generating Station, included an incorrect legal description. The proposed Amendment to the by-law would correct the legal description. This will have no impact on the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Designation) in the original report to City Council recommending the property's designation.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council state its intention to amend By-law 1144-2019, dated July 26, 2019, to correct the legal description.

2019 Toronto Heritage Grant Award
This report recommends the approval of a grant totalling $102,000.00 for the conservation of the Kiever Synagogue located at 28 Denison Square under the Toronto Heritage Grant Program as set out in this report. The eligible conservation work includes restoration of the original historic cupolas, as well as extensive window and stained glass conservation. The Toronto Heritage Grant Program provides matching grant funds for eligible heritage conservation work to owners of tax exempt or residential properties in the City of Toronto designated under Part IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). Property owners may receive a grant once every five years for up to 50% of the cost of eligible conservation work. There is no maximum grant amount for owners of non-house form buildings such as places of worship. In April 2019, Council approved 17 grant awards allocating $214,600.00 of the approved $317,000 in the City Planning 2019 Operating Budget and amended the grant eligibility requirements as set out in the Terms and Conditions so that any tax-exempt designated heritage properties including a house-form building may be eligible for a grant equivalent to 50% of the cost of eligible conservation work, with no limit. The City Planning 2019 Operating Budget has a remaining balance of $102,000.00 to be allocated before the end of the fiscal year. As such, City Planning (Heritage Preservation Services) initiated a second, special grant run in Q3 2019 for tax-exempt designated heritage properties including house-form buildings in conjunction with Toronto's inaugural Not-for-Profit Recognition Day on October 2, 2019, to celebrate the important contribution that non-profit community organizations make to our city and communities.
