* * Heritage Conservation Districts – Balmy Beach *
* *


At its meeting in June 2004, City Council identified the Balmy Beach area as a Heritage Conservation District Study Area. After a process of public consultation, six "character areas" decided to proceed with the study to determine whether or not they merit recognition as a Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. These areas include the properties along portions of Balmy Avenue, Glenfern Avenue, Kingswood Road north of Bracken, Kingswood Road south of Bracken, Bracken Avenue, and Bingham Avenue.

Public consultations have been held throughout the study process to assist in identifying the heritage character and appropriate district guidelines. These district guidelines have been incorporated into draft District Plans for each character area. The draft plans will be considered at upcoming community meetings (note: specific meeting details will be circulated via regular mail closer to the meeting date). The purpose of these meetings is to provide property owners an opportunity to comment on the draft plans. Comments from these meetings will be incorporated into a final version of the district plans, and property owners will then be given an opportunity to determine whether or not the designation process should proceed.
