This report recommends City Council approve the alterations and attribute demolitions proposed under Sections 33 and 34(1)1 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the Part IV designated heritage property at 604 Bay Street (including entrance address 610 Bay Street) in connection with the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications at 604-610 Bay Street and 130 Elizabeth Street (25133694STE11OZ). Staff recommend that the future leaseholder of the City-owned property be required to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement to ensure the long-term protection of the heritage property. The City-owned property contains the former Gray Coach Terminal, completed in 1931 to the designs of architect Charles Brammall Dolphin in an Art Deco style. The property is an early example of a modern motor coach terminal, among the first of its type to be designed and constructed for this purpose in Canada. The property is associated with the Toronto Transportation Commission (forerunner to today's Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)) and the development of Toronto's transportation services and networks. The subject property and the adjacent parcel at 130 Elizabeth Street were selected for redevelopment through the ModernTO program adopted by Toronto City Council in October 2019, and the property was decommissioned by the City in 2021. The Official Plan requires that when a City-owned property on the Heritage Register is no longer required for its current use, the City will demonstrate excellence in the conservation, maintenance, and compatible adaptive reuse of the property. The redevelopment proposes a mixed-use development including affordable housing, a new Paramedic Services ("EMS") hub, and employment uses. The residential component of the development will be 100 percent purpose-built rental, approximately one third of which will be affordable units. The proposal conserves the Gray Coach Terminal building in-situ with alterations to its exterior and interior heritage attributes to adaptively reuse it for a new commercial use. The bus bay facades are proposed to be dismantled, reconstructed and sympathetically reconfigured to accommodate the EMS use. Staff are of the opinion that the proposal conserves the cultural heritage values, attributes and character of the heritage property.

The area includes a mix of single and semi-detached houses, low-rise walk-up apartment buildings, mid-rise and tall buildings and tower-in-the-park style purpose-built rental buildings. Newer developments are concentrated around the St. Clair Avenue West and Bathurst Street intersection and on Raglan Avenue, and development interest is spreading to the surrounding areas. A range of small, independent shops, restaurants and businesses that serve the local community and animate the street encompass the character of the area's major streets.

Spanning between Montclair Avenue and Strathearn Boulevard, Spadina Road has a distinct main street character with a mix of commercial and residential uses. The surrounding residential neighbourhood consists of single and semi-detached houses, townhouses and walk-up apartment buildings. Council directed the Development Review Division, in consultation with City Planning, to review of the St. Clair Avenue West and Bathurst Street Planning Framework (2019) and Forest Hill Village Urban Design Guidelines (2015) to renew the overall vision and ensure the framework and guidelines are relevant given changes to Provincial legislation and policies, updated Official Plan policies, and recently approved development.

This report outlines the strategy for both broad and targeted community consultation. Public consultation is anticipated to span from Q2-Q3 2025 and will include public sessions for residents to learn more and share their ideas, and targeted working meetings with key stakeholders in the community.

This report recommends that City Council include the following 7 properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value and interest according to the Listing Statements (Reasons for Inclusion) found in Attachments 1 and 2. - 132 Dundas Street West - 136 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 134 Dundas Street West) - 138 Dundas Street West - 142 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 140 Dundas Street West) - 144 Dundas Street West - 148 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 146 Dundas Street West) - 24 Jefferson Avenue (including entrance address 2 Jefferson Avenue) The subject properties at 132, 136, 138, 142, 144, and 148 Dundas Street are located at the northeast corner of Dundas Street West and Elizabeth Street in the Yonge-Bay Corridor neighbourhood. Constructed in 1907 and known as the Wineberg Apartments, the subject properties comprise a 3-storey, brick, walk-up apartment building with storefronts at street level that defines the early-twentieth-century, main street character of a portion of Dundas Street West in what was once "The Ward". A location map and current photograph of the heritage property is found in Attachment 1. The subject property at 24 Jefferson Avenue is located between Jefferson Avenue and Pardee Avenue north of the rail corridor and south of Liberty Street in the South Parkdale neighbourhood. The property contains a three-to-four storey brick factory/warehouse type building constructed primarily between c.1905 and 1912 that is part of an important collection of surviving industrial buildings in the area known today as Liberty Village. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property is found in Attachment 2. The properties recommended for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest. On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties that have not been designated but Council believes to be of "cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years. As of January 1, 2023, should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following seven (7) properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statements (Reasons for Inclusion) attached as Attachments 1 and 2 to the report (May 12, 2025) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning: - 132 Dundas Street West - 136 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 134 Dundas Street West) - 138 Dundas Street West - 142 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 140 Dundas Street West) - 144 Dundas Street West - 148 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 146 Dundas Street West) - 24 Jefferson Avenue (including entrance address 2 Jefferson Avenue)
