The full agenda, as filed
All 7 items in the clerk’s order. Each carries the city’s own words: the staff recommendation, what the body decided, and its status. Nothing below is written by us.
PB34.1adopted
This reports recommends that the City of Toronto state its intention to designate the property at 462 Wellington Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property at 462 Wellington Street West is situated on the north side of Wellington Street West between Portland Street and Spadina Avenue in the King-Spadina neighbourhood. It contains the Northrop & Lyman Co. Building, a five-storey factory/warehouse type building that was constructed in 1917 for Northrop & Lyman Co. Ltd, one of the largest dealers in patent medicines in the country, according to the designs of Leon S. Yolles and Chapman & McGiffenn, the latter who designed such notable buildings as Knox College at the University of Toronto. The property is fashioned in the Edwardian Classical style. The property was occupied by the company for the greater portion of the 20th century and now serves as an office building. The property continues to contribute to the distinctive heritage character of the King-Spadina neighbourhood, which is grounded in its early-mid-20th century transformation as the city's primary manufacturing hub and its fashion district identity. The property at 462 Wellington Street West was included on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register on November 21 and 23, 1973. At the time, the property was known as the Houlding Knitwear Building as Houlding Knitwear was a later occupant.[1] The property is located within the proposed King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District, adopted by City Council in 2017 and currently under appeal. Staff have completed the Research and Evaluation Report for the property at 462 Wellington Street West 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 design and physical, historical and associative, and contextual values. As such, the property is a significant built heritage resource. In 2019, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to the City that proposes to amend the zoning by-law to permit a 15-storey (50 metres) mixed-use building with office, retail and senior's retirement residential uses, including a total of 134 independent, assisted living and memory-care dwelling units and suites. The proposal includes a total of 23,053 square metres of gross floor area, of which 7,850 square metres is proposed for non-residential uses. The existing heritage building is situated on the west portion of the site and is currently occupied with office uses. The heritage building is proposed to be conserved and re-used for office purposes with retail uses at grade. A Privately-Owned and Publicly-Accessible Open Space (POPS) is proposed at the north end of the site. 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. The Bill 108 Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act 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 Ontario Heritage Act now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act 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) prepared by Philip Goldsmith Architects on December 14, 2021 has been reviewed and the proposed conservation strategy is currently to the satisfaction of Heritage Planning. Should City Council support the designation of the subject property the proposed alterations and conditions will require the approval of City Council and a separate report will be forthcoming. [1] The Houlding Knitwear Company did not move into the property at 462 Wellington Street West until the latter half of the 20th century and were therefore not the original occupants. For the purpose of this report, the subject property will be referred to as the Northrop & Lyman Co. Building for whom the property was built.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 462 Wellington Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 462 Wellington Street West (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3, to the report, April 13, 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 under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

PB34.2adopted
This report recommends that City Council to state its intention to designate the four properties at 148 and 156-158 Avenue Road and 224 Davenport Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value. The subject properties are situated at the northwest corner of Avenue Road and Davenport Road. 148 and 156-158 Avenue Road contain three-storey, late Victorian-era, red brick residential and commercial buildings constructed together in 1891-1892 and representing the earliest period in the historical built evolution of Avenue Road. The adjacent property at 224 Davenport Road contains the former head office of Canada's largest bakery, the Canada Bread Company. Developed at the crossroads of two of the City's earliest annexed neighbourhoods, the Canada Bread Building, along with the house-form buildings at 156-158 Avenue Road are valued as a collection of historically associated residential and commercial properties with historic, physical and visual links to their surroundings since the late-19th and early 20th century. Heritage Planning staff have undertaken research and evaluation and determined that the four subject properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act under all three categories of design, associative and contextual values. As such, the properties are significant built heritage resources. 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. On July 5, 2021 an Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment application (21 178720 STE 11 OZ) was submitted to the City to permit a 35-storey mixed-use building, atop a 3-storey podium on the site including the properties at 148-158 Avenue Road and 220-234 Davenport Road. The existing building facade at 224 Davenport Road is proposed to be maintained. Demolition is proposed for the existing buildings at 148, 152 and 156-158 Avenue Road and 224-234 Davenport Road. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was submitted as part of this application and it is currently being reviewed by staff. The impact of the proposed development proposal would have on the heritage values and attributes identified within a Notice of Intention to Designate will be considered by staff as part of the review of the development application. The development application currently under review was deemed complete following the new legislation coming into force. This Notice of Intention to Designate report must be considered by City Council before February 10, 2022. 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 148 Avenue Road (including entrance address at 220 Davenport Road) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 148 Avenue 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.

PB34.3adopted
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 508 and 510 Church Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The properties at 508 and 510 Church Street comprise two adjoining structures, originally constructed as part of a row of six residences (508-518 Church Street) in c.1856-1858, along with a surviving nineteenth-century coach house to the rear of 508 Church Street. The primary structures constitute a unique example of semi-detached house-form buildings from the mid-nineteenth century, which have since evolved for commercial use. They are notable for their asymmetrical configuration and details that demonstrate the influence of the Romanesque Revival style. Since 1994 the integrated properties have been the home of Crews, later Crews and Tangos, a storied venue for drag performances and queer gatherings. The properties are a cultural landmark within the Church and Wellesley Village and for Toronto's broader LGBTQ2S+ community. Additionally, the mural added in 2013 for World Pride contributes to the building's status as a visual landmark. Staff have completed the Research and Evaluation Report for the properties at 508 and 510 Church Street and determined that the properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, on the basis of their design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. As such, the properties are significant built heritage resources. An Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment application was submitted to the City in 2020, which proposes the partial retention of the primary structures at 508 and 510 Church Street and demolition of the coach house in the rear of the properties. 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. The Bill 108 Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act 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 Ontario Heritage Act now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. This application predates Bill 108, therefore the designation of this property is not subject to Section 29(1.2). 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. An HIA for 506-516 Church Street was prepared by ERA Architects and submitted to the City in December 2021. 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 properties at 508 and 510 Church Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 508 and 510 Church Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 25, 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 properties under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

PB34.4adopted
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 125 Sylvan Avenue, under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative, and contextual value. The property at 125 Sylvan Avenue is situated southeast of Kingston Road and Markham Road in Scarborough Village atop the Scarborough Bluffs. It contains the McNeel House, a one-storey, Mid-Century Modern home constructed in 1963 for Dr. Burdett Harrison McNeel and his wife Helen B. McNeel, as designed by Modernist architect James Albert Murray (1919-2008). James Murray was an influential figure within Canadian architecture during the mid-twentieth century who designed several prominent Modernist public buildings, commercial structures, and private residences. A student of Eric Arthur, and later colleague to fellow Canadian Modernists John B. Parkin, John C. Parkin, and Henry Fliess, Murray's bold designs have had a significant impact on Toronto's post-war suburban neighbourhoods, the largest concentration of which are centred in Don Mills. The McNeel House has an expansive view of Lake Ontario from above Sylvan Park, which spans the bottom of the Bluffs below a row of homes. In 2018, the McNeel House was recognized by Heritage Toronto with a historic plaque to the left of the front driveway along Sylvan Avenue. The plaque pays respect to the McNeel family and to architect James Murray's use of post-and-beam construction paired with natural materials, including stone and cedar, which are among the central elements of the McNeel House's Modernist design. Heritage Planning Staff have completed the Research and Evaluation Report for the property at 125 Sylvan Avenue 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. As such, the property is a significant built heritage resource. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent.

Section 29(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The designation of this property is not subject to Section 29(1.2). Designation will enable City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.

The subject property is located within the Cabbagetown Northwest Heritage Conservation District (HCD) and contains the St. Luke's United Church complex. The property is identified in the HCD Plan as a significant building that contributes to the heritage character of the primarily residential district. The church, designed by Canadian architects Langley and Burke in 1887 as the Sherbourne Street Methodist Church, has undergone a series of alterations and additions over the years. In 1912, a Sunday school, also designed by Langley and Burke, was added to the northeast corner. A narthex, designed by Toronto architects Wickson and Gregg, was added to the front of the church in 1929 and a gymnasium was constructed in 1962 in the south portion of the site to the design of Toronto architects Parrott, Tambling and Witmer. The development application is comprised of the construction of a twelve-storey mixed-use building on the property that includes the rehabilitation of the 1887 church and the 1912 Sunday school, and the removal of the narthex and gymnasium additions.
