PB30.1adopted
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 95 St. Joseph Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property at 95 St. Joseph Street contains a four-storey complex originally known as St. Basil's Seminary and now identified as the Cardinal Flahiff Basilian Centre. The seminary is part of the University of St. Michael's College campus at the University of Toronto and is located to the east of Queen's Park and west of Bay Street in the Bay-Cloverhill neighbourhood. St. Basil's Seminary was constructed in 1950-51 as part of the Basilian Fathers centennial project to expand St. Michael's College. The Basilian Fathers originated in France in 1828 and following the appointment of Armand-Francoise-Marie de Charbonnel as Archbishop in 1850, arrived in Toronto in 1852. In 1853, the Basilians amalgamated with St. Michael's College and in 1856 relocated the college to the Clover Hill estate. In 1949, to celebrate the college centenary and support its growth and expansion, the Basilians commissioned Ernest Cormier, OC, the Montreal-based architect and engineer who is regarded as one of Canada's most outstanding 20th-century architects, to design new and separate facilities for a high school, university and seminary. The high school, St. Michael's College was located at St. Clair and Bathurst Street. St. Basil's Seminary and the new university building, Carr Hall (1950-54), were designed by Cormier in partnership with Toronto architects, Brennan & Whale. Cormier's design for the seminary incorporated the historic Newman Hall Chapel (1913), designed by the architect Arthur W. Holmes who had authored the St. Michael's College 1920s campus masterplan and, over the course of 40 years, designed several other buildings for the college. Completed in 1951, and extended in 1959 and 1979-80, the seminary complex is an integral part of the sequence of St. Michael's College buildings constructed over 140 years on the historic Clover Hill estate as part of a Roman Catholic educational enclave which includes the world-renowned Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies and the Marshall McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology. Today, the St. Michael's College campus is distinguished by its collection of low-rise college buildings constructed in a consistent palette of buff brick, limestone and concrete, punctuated by the spires of St. Basil's Church and Carr Hall and set in a series of landscaped open-spaces interwoven with pedestrian pathways which together form a distinct cultural heritage landscape. St. Basil's Seminary is an important contributor to this evolved collection and context of St. Michael's College which forms part of the University of Toronto campus surrounding Queen's Park. Following research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, staff have determined that the property at 95 St. Joseph Street merits designation under Part IV Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. An Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application has been submitted to permit the redevelopment of the property at 95 St. Joseph Street with a 39-storey, mixed-use building with a 12-storey podium. The proposed development would retain the front façade of the existing building, remove the later 1979-80 projecting fourth-floor addition and restore the original façade features. The interior chapel will be relocated, and will no longer be an active place of worship. It is proposed to be a multi-purpose amenity space within the development. The remainder of the existing four-storey St. Basil's Seminary and the Newman Hall Chapel would be demolished. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). The Bill 108 Amendments to the OHA came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the OHA now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the OHA to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The application currently under review was deemed complete prior to the new legislation coming into force. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 95 St. Joseph Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 95 St. Joseph Street, (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (January 4, 2022) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designations, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bills in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

PB30.2adopted
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 1909 Yonge Street (including entrance addresses at 2 and 2A Davisville Avenue) and 1913 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Constructed circa 1890 and acquired by J. J. Davis in 1896, the J. J. Davis General Store at 1909 Yonge Street is a local landmark that anchors the northeast corner of Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue, and includes frontages on both Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue. As a late-Victorian vernacular mixed-use building, the property represents the early wave of development that took place in Davisville in the late-19th century. The property served as the Davisville post office and general store in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, and is valued for its important early role in the community and its associations with J. J. Davis and the Davis family, who were prominent early residents of Davisville. The property retains its original scale, form, and massing as a 2-storey brick building with a cross-gabled roof. Dating to circa 1927, the property at 1913 Yonge Street is a representative example of a main street commercial row building from the interwar period. It retains its original scale, form, and massing as a two-storey brick building with a flat roof, along with original architectural details above its storefront. The property at 1909 Yonge Street was listed on the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties (now known as the Heritage Register) on November 21 and 23, 1973, while the property at 1913 Yonge Street was listed on the Heritage Register on October 2, 2017 as part of the Midtown in Focus - Phase 1 "batch listing". Following city staff's additional research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the properties at 1909 Yonge Street and 1913 Yonge Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the following reasons: 1909 Yonge Street for its design/physical, associative and contextual values, and 1913 Yonge Street for its design/physical, and contextual values. On September 8, 2020, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit two residential towers at 30 and 45-storeys on a shared 8-storey base building with ground floor retail at 1913-1951 Yonge Street, 17-21 Millwood Road and 22 Davisville Avenue. This proposal includes the listed main street heritage properties at 1913, 1917, 1919, 1919A, 1921 and 1923 Yonge Street, all of which were proposed to be demolished as part of the original development scheme. Adjacent to the development proposal is the listed landmark J. J. Davis General Store at 1909 Yonge Street, which anchors the northeast corner of Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). The Bill 108 Amendments to the OHA came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the OHA now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the OHA to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The application currently under review was deemed complete prior to the new legislation coming into force. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required for all development applications that affect listed and designated properties and will be considered when determining how a heritage property is to be conserved. Designation also enables City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 1909 Yonge Street (including the entrance addresses at 2 and 2A Davisville Avenue) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 1909 Yonge Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3, to the report (January 5, 2022) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2.

This report recommends that City Council refuse the application to construct a new structure at 294-298 Sherbourne Street (designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the Garden District Heritage Conservation District) in connection with the development of the subject properties. The development application would introduce a 10-storey building on the properties at 294-298 Sherbourne Street, featuring a 7-storey tower element atop a 3-storey podium base. The applicant has applied for permission under Section 42 (1) 2. of the Ontario Heritage Act to permit the proposal, in addition to applying for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments and Site Plan Approval. A Refusal report in response to the associated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application has been prepared by Community Planning, to be heard by City Council concurrently with this report. In its current form, the proposed development conflicts with the policies and objectives of the Garden District Heritage Conservation District, the City's Official Plan Heritage Policies and the existing Provincial land-use planning policy framework as it pertains to the conservation of cultural heritage resources. Staff are of the opinion that it has not been demonstrated that the cultural heritage values and heritage attributes of the District and the adjacent protected heritage properties will be conserved through the proposed development.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 1. City Council refuse the alterations to the heritage property at 294-298 Sherbourne Street, in accordance with Section 42 (1) 2. of the Ontario Heritage Act, as contained in plans and drawings prepared by Superkul dated May 3, 2021, and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning and the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated September 13, 2021, and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. Should the owner appeal City Council's decision to refuse the application for alterations to the heritage property at 294-298 Sherbourne Street under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing in opposition to the appeal.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 221 Sterling Road (including active entrances at 225 and 227 Sterling Road) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property at 221 Sterling Road comprises a complex of adjoining one- and two-storey brick structures, constructed incrementally in c.1914-1918, c.1924-1939, and c.1954-1965. Originally part of a site developed alongside the Grand Trunk Railway tracks for the Fairbanks-Morse Canadian Manufacturing Company Ltd., the property served a variety of industrial uses through the 1980s. It reflects the history of industrial development along Sterling Road within the lower Junction Triangle and Brockton Village areas, and contributes to a concentration of former industrial buildings, many of which now have cultural functions. The property is a rare and unique example of an evolved manufacturing complex that has been adaptively reused to support the arts. The complex has gained prominence since the 1980s as a hub of cultural activities, housing a number of creative organizations, studios, rehearsal and performance spaces for visual artists, artisans, dancers, circus performers, and other creators. It is one of the last such facilities remaining in Toronto. Heritage Planning staff have determined that the property at 221 Sterling Road meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. Zoning Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision, and Rental Housing Demolition applications have been made for the property, which propose to replace the existing building complex at 221 Sterling Road with a new development. The City Clerk issued a complete application notice on July 9, 2021. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). The Bill 108 Amendments to the OHA came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the OHA now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the OHA to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The property owner provided a waiver to extend the 90-day timeline established under Bill 108 through December 31, 2021. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required for all development applications that affect listed and designated properties and will be considered when determining how a heritage property is to be conserved. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 221 Sterling Road (including active entrances at 225 and 227 Sterling Road) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 221 Sterling Road (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (November 10, 2021) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the Bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 906 Yonge Street (including the entrance address at 908 Yonge Street) for its design and associative values under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Constructed in 1928 to the designs of architect Mackenzie Waters as the furniture maker John I. Ridpath's company showroom and workshop, the property at 906 Yonge Street is located on the west side of Yonge Street, north of Davenport Road. The rear portion of the property, which contains a warehouse originally used to manufacture, store and ship furniture, is also visible from McMurrich Street to the west. The property is a representative example of the Tudor Revival architectural style, but is a rare application of this style to a commercial building in Toronto. The property also has important associations to the significant Toronto furniture manufacturer and retailer, Ridpath's Ltd., and its founder John I. Ridpath, as well as to architect Mackenzie Waters. Waters was a significant and influential Canadian architect in the early-20th century, whose early work in the 1920s and 1930s was firmly rooted in a knowledge of period architectural styles, including Tudor Revival. The property at 906 Yonge Street was listed on the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties (now known as the Heritage Register) by City Council on March 15, 1974. Staff have completed the Research and Evaluation Report for the property at 906 Yonge Street and determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, under the categories of design/physical and historical/associative value. As such, the property is a significant built heritage resource. On November 3, 2021, a Zoning By-Law Amendment application was submitted to the City for 906 Yonge Street and 25 McMurrich Street to permit two 33-storey and 19-storey towers containing 401 residential dwelling units and 74.9 square metres of non-residential floor area. The proposal involves retention and alteration of a portion of the three-storey listed heritage building at 906 Yonge Street. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). The Bill 108 Amendments to the OHA came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the OHA now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the OHA to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The City Clerk issued a complete application notice for the aforementioned Zoning By-Law Amendment application for 906 Yonge Street and 25 McMurrich Street on December 10, 2021. Council has until March 10, 2022 to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate the property. As such, this is an urgent matter for the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to bring forward for consideration by City Council on February 2, 2022. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 906 Yonge Street (including the entrance address at 908 Yonge Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 906 Yonge Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (January 20, 2022) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the Bill in Council designating the property at 906 Yonge Street (including the entrance address at 908 Yonge Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
