That pursuant to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act, the following properties be listed on the Municipal Heritage Register as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest, in accordance with the Statements of Significance attached as Appendix 'A' to Community Services Department report CS-11-080: 47 Onward Avenue; 81 Moore Avenue; and further, 2. That pursuant to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act, the following properties be listed on the Municipal Heritage Register as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest, in accordance with the Statements of Significance attached as Appendix 'A' to Community Services Department report CS-11-080: 2091 Bleams Road; 1970 Fischer Hallman Road; 236 Gehl Place; 1805 Huron Road; 1865 Huron Road; 1434 Trussler Road; 1478 Trussler Road. BACKGROUND: Changes made to the Ontario Heritage Act through the passage of Bill 60, now afford municipalities the opportunity to list properties that have not been designated under the Act but that the municipality believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. Further, the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) issued under Section 3 of the ë ó ï Ontario Planning Act, has been amended and expands the definition of “built heritage resources” to include properties listed by local jurisdictions. Together, the amendments made to the Ontario Heritage Act and the Provincial Policy Statement of the Planning Act, offer an opportunity for the City of Kitchener to update the Heritage Kitchener Inventory of Historic Buildings and strengthen efforts to conserve property identified as being of cultural heritage value or interest to the municipality. On November 27, 2006 Council approved a 4-step process for listing non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register, as outlined in Staff Report DTS-05-213. The process involves the following steps: 1. Initial evaluation by a recorder through completion of a survey form and taking photographs (only where properties are visible from the public realm). 2. Short listing of properties following a review of the recorder’s survey form and photographs; undertaken by an evaluation sub committee comprised of City Staff and/or Heritage Kitchener Committee members. Heritage Planning staff prepare a ‘statement of significance’ for each short-listed property and notify the property owner of the heritage interest in the property. Property owners are invited to make comment and attend the Heritage Kitchener meeting where their property will be considered for possible listing on the Municipal Heritage Register. 3. The City’s Heritage Kitchener Committee reviews the merits of the short listed properties; considers the comments of the property owner (if made); and makes a recommendation to City Council. 4. City Council makes a decision on whether or not to list the properties on the Municipal Heritage Register as “non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest.” Listing non-designated property on the Municipal Heritage Register is an important step in identifying the City’s cultural heritage resources. It does not impose restrictions or obligations with regard to obtaining heritage approvals, meaning property owners do not require a heritage permit or City approval to make alterations. Listing on the Municipal Heritage Register does increase the amount of time the City has to process demolition applications (up to 60 days), and does have implications in ensuring that the City is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement when processing Planning Act applications. As of the date of this report, Council has listed approximately 80 properties on the Municipal Heritage Register as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest. REPORT: City Staff continue to work towards the implementation of the process for listing non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. The process continues to ensure a thorough and objective evaluation of each property, and an opportunity for public input and consultation. The properties municipally addressed 47 Onward Avenue and 81 Moore Avenue have been recommended by both the recorder and the evaluation sub-committee to be listed as non- designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. As a result, the property owners have been formally notified of the heritage interest and invited to participate in Step 3 of the process. Step 3 involves the Heritage Kitchener Committee meeting ë ó î scheduled for June 7, 2011, where the properties will be considered for listing as non- designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. It is also important to note that the City has been actively working on the Southwest Urban Area Studies in order to prepare a Community Master Plan and subsequent Secondary Plan to guide urban development in the largest remaining Greenfield area of the City. Staff report CSD-11-035 was considered by the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee on February 28, 2011 and approved by Council on March 7, 2011. One recommendation of this report was: “That the significant cultural heritage resources identified in the Community Master Plan for the Southwest Urban Area, Cultural Heritage Background Study: Built Heritage and Cultural Landscapes report prepared by Nancy Z. Tausky be referred to Heritage Kitchener for their consideration of Steps 3 and 4 of the Municipal Heritage Register review process for potential listing as non- designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest.” The report entitled “Southwest Kitchener Urban Area Study: Cultural Heritage Background Study: Built Heritage and Cultural Landscapes” was prepared by Nancy Z. Tausky a professional heritage consultant. The professional heritage consultant conducted site visits and evaluated properties with the same criteria used by Heritage Planning staff and Heritage Kitchener under the Council approved 4-Step Listing Process. The properties municipally addressed 2091 Bleams Road; 1970 Fischer Hallman Road; 236 Gehl Place; 1805 Huron Road; 1865 Huron Road; 1434 Trussler Road; and, 1478 Trussler Road have been recommended for listing as non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. As a result, the property owners have been formally notified of the heritage interest and invited to participate in Step 3 of the process. Step 3 involves the Heritage Kitchener Committee meeting scheduled for June 7, 2011, where the properties will be considered for listing as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN: Community Priority – Quality of Life The City has its own unique culture and heritage. The City has places, spaces and stories that enrich, enlighten and guide growth and development. These cultural heritage resources are integral to the identity of the City, but they also play a significant role in economic development by helping to enhance quality of life, strengthen distinctiveness, stimulate revitalization and attract tourism. Under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City can designate properties of cultural heritage value or interest. The City can also list non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. Designation publicly acknowledges a property’s heritage value and ensures its conservation for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. Listing also publicly acknowledges a property’s heritage value and provides the opportunity to consider appropriate conservation options before demolition and as part of the planning process. As a result, listing of non-designated property of cultural heritage Quality of Life value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register supports the Community Priority of the City of Kitchener Strategic Plan. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A ë ó í COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: An information package has been mailed to all affected property owners. The information package includes: a letter that describes the heritage interest in the property and the listing process, including how property owners can make comment; a copy of the Municipal Heritage Register brochure; and, a copy of the Statement of Significance which describes the historic place, identifies the key heritage values, and lists the principal heritage attributes. The Statement of Significance also includes photographs of the property and a copy of the Cultural Heritage Resource Evaluation Form, which was completed by the recorder and evaluation sub- committee. As of the date of this report, no written correspondence had been received from any property owners. CONCLUSION: Identifying specific local cultural heritage resources is a vital first step toward upholding the City’s responsibility to protect and conserve its heritage. The following properties have undergone thorough and objective evaluation through the City’s process for listing non- designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register: 47 Onward Avenue; 81 Moore Avenue; 2091 Bleams Road; 1970 Fischer Hallman Road; 236 Gehl Place; 1805 Huron Road; 1865 Huron Road; 1434 Trussler Road; and 1478 Trussler Road. The result of the evaluation is that these properties meet the City’s criteria for listing as non- designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Municipal Heritage Register. Statements of Significance, outlining the value and interest of each of these properties are included in Appendix ‘A’ of this report.
