PB6.6adopted
This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 8 Elm Street and 348 - 350 Yonge Street, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site and per the settlement offer submitted to the City on April 8, 2019, in conjunction with an appeal to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal ("LPAT") of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 348 - 350 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, include the property on the City's Heritage Register and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property and amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement for the property at 8 Elm Street which is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The original application proposed an 80 storey mixed use building on a smaller site, being 8 Elm Street. That application was refused by City Council at the November 8, 2016 meeting and subsequently appealed to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal. A revised 84-storey proposal was subsequently submitted to Local Planning Appeals Tribunal by the applicant. Since that time, the applicant has worked with City staff to address various planning issues and has submitted a revised application following Local Planning Appeals Tribunal led mediation. The revised proposal is for a 67-storey mixed-use office residential development with at-grade retail uses at 8 Elm Street and 348-356 Yonge Street. As part of the project scope, the existing properties at both 8 Elm Street and 348-350 Yonge Street will be conserved and incorporated into the redevelopment. Additionally, the unlisted property at 352-354 Yonge Street would be dismantled and reconstructed at the project site. The new development will be stepped back 5 metres from the Elm Street frontage and 7.5 metres from the Yonge Street frontage at roof level. The conservation strategy will not significantly impact the three dimensional form of the buildings as viewed from the public realm. Should the alterations to the subject property be approved, staff recommend that the property owner be required to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement at 8 Elm Street and to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property at 348-350 Yonge Street in order to ensure the long-term protection of the heritage properties.
The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: Should City Council decide to accept the settlement offer for the Zoning By-law Amendments dated April 8, 2019, and should the Zoning By-law Amendment come into full force and effect, it is recommended that City Council take the following actions to secure the following matters: 1.

This report recommends that City Council include the property at 206 Russell Hill Road 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. The property at 206 Russell Hill Road contains a 2½-storey house form building dating to 1910 that is known historically as the William S. Hodgens House. In 2018, the property owner submitted an application for a zoning by-law amendment and site plan approval to replace the existing house with a low-rise four-unit townhouse development. An application to demolish the existing house in order to facilitate the development of this property was submitted in April 2019 (2019 141774 DEM 00 DM). The demolition permit has not been issued due to the absence of a permit for a replacement building as per the City's Residential Demolition Control By-law. On May 15, 2019 an application to build a new single family dwelling was submitted. In order to prevent the demolition of the William S. Hodgens House, City Council must state its intention to designate this property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Following research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the property at 206 Russell Hill Road merits designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The inclusion of the property at 206 Russell Hill Road on the City's Heritage Register and its designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act would identify all of the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be maintained and conserved in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review applications to the site, enforce heritage property stands and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
