The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council state its intention to amend Designating By-law 238-2020 dated February 26, 2020 to correct the legal description in accordance with Section 30.1(3) of the Ontario Heritage Act and to reference the complete municipal address, being 90 Croatia Street (980 Dufferin Street) in the by-law. 2.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 100 College Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and include the property on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The Banting Institute at 100 College Street, is located on the north side of College Street in Toronto's Discovery District, on the southern edge of the Queen's Park/University of Toronto precinct, opposite the MaRS complex and the former Toronto General Hospital. Following the Nobel-Prize winning discovery of insulin as a life-saving treatment for diabetes in 1921-1922, the Banting Institute was commissioned by the University of Toronto to accommodate the provincially-funded Banting and Best Chair of Medical Research. Named for Major Sir Charles Banting, the five-and-a-half storey, Georgian Revival style building was constructed according to the designs of the renowned architectural firm of Darling of Pearson in 1928-1930. The importance of the historic discovery was recently reiterated in UNESCO's 2013 inscription of the discovery of insulin on its 'Memory of the World Register' as "one of the most significant medical discoveries of the twentieth century and of incalculable value to the world community. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, which sets out the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its design/physical, historical/associative and contextual value. The Province and the City's policies seek the conservation of cultural heritage resources. Designation supports conservation as it enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council include the property at 100 College Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. 2. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 100 College Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 100 College Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (August 7, 2020) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 3. If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council. 4. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed designation to the Conservation Review Board. 5. If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to designate the property.

This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 661 and 663-665 Huron Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the properties under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value. Located on the east side of Huron Street, south of Dupont Street in The Annex neighbourhood, the properties contain two house-form buildings completed between 1890-1891 that were originally single-family dwellings and now used as multi-unit residential buildings. Both properties have cultural heritage value as fine examples of eclecticism in Late Victorian Era architecture in Toronto, combining elements of Richardsonian Romanesque with the Queen Anne Revival style. Contextually, the properties at 661 and 663-665 Huron Street are historically and visually linked to their setting on the east side of Huron Street between Dupont Street and Bernard Avenue where, along with a number of other grand Late-Victorian-era house-form buildings recognized on the City's Heritage Register,[1] and adjacent to the Madison Avenue Heritage Conservation District, they recall the late-nineteenth to early-twentieth century period when The Annex neighbourhood emerged as a sought-after residential enclave for many of Toronto's leading citizens. The properties at 661-665 Huron Street are located within the proposed West Annex Phase 2 Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study Area authorized by City Council on January 31, 2018. In spring 2020, the property at 661 Huron Street was nominated for cultural heritage evaluation by members of The Annex Residents' Association and the British Home Children Advocacy & Research Association. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the properties at 661 and 663-665 Huron Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Province and the City's policies seek the conservation of cultural heritage resources. Designation supports conservation as it enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition. On November 22, 2019 a Zoning By-law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition applications were submitted to permit a four-storey apartment building, with 48 residential units, which would require demolition of the existing multi-unit, house-form dwellings. As the application review is ongoing, City staff will have the opportunity share Council's decision with the property owners to inform revisions of these applications.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council include the property at 661 Huron Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance. 2. City Council include the property at 663-665 Huron Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance. 3. If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council. 4. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed designation to the Conservation Review Board. 5. If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to designate the property.

This report recommends that City Council refuse an application to demolish the significant built heritage resource on the protected heritage property at 38 Camden Street which is designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Under the Section 34 of the Act, if City Council fails to make a decision on the application within 90 days of issuing a Notice of Receipt the application is deemed to be permitted. The Province of Ontario has extended the March 17, 2020 Declaration of Emergency and made several subsequent Emergency Orders under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act. Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 73/20, the statutory timelines for City Council to consider the application to demolish a Part IV designated property are currently suspended, however, the statutory timelines under the Ontario Heritage Act are intended to commence after September 11, 2020, pursuant to Ontario Regulation 106/20 under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, subject to any further amendments. Unless the regulation is otherwise amended, the 90 day notice of the intention to demolish the building on the subject property therefore starts after September 11, 2020 and the applicant must be notified of Council's decision by December 9, 2020.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council refuse the issuance of a demolition permit for the protected heritage property at 38 Camden Street in accordance with Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 2. If the owner appeals City Council's decision to refuse the issuance of a demolition permit under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the property at 38 Camden Street, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) hearing in opposition to the appeal.
