This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage property at 663 King Street West, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site and in conjunction with an appeal to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal and subsequent mediation of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 663 King Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for this property. The property at 663 King Street West was listed on the inaugural City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties (now known as the Heritage Register) in 1973. It is also located in the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District (HCD), which was adopted by City Council in 2017 and is currently under appeal. As part of the project scope, the existing property at 663 King Street, with building frontages on King Street West, Bathurst Street and Stewart Street, will be conserved and incorporated into the redevelopment. The Conservation strategy for 663 King Street would retain in situ the north, west and south facades of the property which will be integrated with new construction. The facades to be retained constitute a total of 100.2 metres of street facing building wall. The tower component will be stepped back 5 metres from both the principal (north) façade and lengthy Bathurst Street façade (no balcony or other projections into this 5 metre step back) with a lesser approximate 3 metre step back at the south building wall frontage along Stewart Street. Further, the conservation strategy proposes rehabilitation and restoration of the heritage property to its period of significance (time of construction) based on archival information. New small format retail uses are proposed within the heritage structure. New window and storefront openings would be added at the Bathurst Street frontage. However, the design for these new opening shall be further developed in consultation with staff. The listed building at 60 Stewart Street is proposed for demolition. This property is a component of the 663 King Street "building block" and constitutes approximately 11 % of the overall street facades. The property is in poor condition with areas of mortar loss, parging patches, efflorescence, water damage, environmental and biological staining, spalled, missing and broken bricks, obsolete fasteners and holes. Should the alterations to the subject property be approved, staff recommend that the property owner be required to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement to ensure the long-term protection of the heritage property.
