heritage attribute;

building roof in colour and style;
as a whole, the proposed alterations will not detract from the character of the property;
the proposal is consistent with the Parks Canada standard for Preservation Maintain
character-defining elements on an ongoing basis such that the proposal will protect the
heritage attributes of the building and reduce the likelihood of future major interventions.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
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. Designation publicly acknowledges a propertys heritage value and
ensures its conservation for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. Its
conservation is regulated by a designating by-law, which provides a statement of significance
and lists specific heritage attributes. Proposed changes that ma
significance and heritage attributes require an approved Heritage Permit Application. As a
Development
result, the processing of Heritage Permit Applications supports the Strategic Plan
Community Priority, and the strategic direction of honouring and protecting our heritage.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Section 33(1.4) of the Ontario Heritage Act requires Council to consult with the Municipal
Heritage Committee (Heritage Kitchener) beforeconsenting to a Heritage Permit Application,
consenting to a Heritage Permit Application on terms and conditions, or refusing a Heritage
Permit Application. Members of the community will be informed via circulation of the report to
Heritage Kitchener and via formal consideration by Council.
