| Summary |
This report recommends that City Council consent to the alteration of the designated heritage property included in this development project known as 129 St. Clair Avenue West, Deer Park United Church, subject to conditions and authorize the City to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement with the owner.
This application proposes to alter the existing heritage-designated church, former Deer Park United at 129 St. Clair Avenue West, to adaptively reuse the church for non-residential and residential uses. A new 27-storey residential building and six townhomes fronting onto Foxbar Road are proposed. The alteration of the church includes the removal of the Sunday school wing at the south end.
City Council's consent is required for the alteration to the designated heritage property under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act. This report is being brought forward at the same time as a report on the proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendments from the Director, Community Planning for the subject property. Currently, no site plan application has been submitted. |
