Subject:
Heritage Impact Assessment 114-120 Victoria Street South
The Planning Division is in receipt of a draft Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) concerning the
former Huck Glove Factory building located at 114-120 Victoria Street South. Zone change and
site plan applications have been made for the property for a mixed use development that
proposes to retain and adaptively re-use the former industrial building. The property does not
have heritage status given a previous Council resolved not to list the property on the Municipal
Heritage Register. However, the applicant intends to use the heritage bonusing provisions in the
zoning by-law, which requires that the property be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act
and that a heritage agreement be registered. The HIA is meant in part to examine the
significance of the property and confirm if it meets the criteria for designation, as well as assess
the potential impact of the proposed development and recommend mitigation measures, if
required.
Consultants from mcCallum Sather Architects will be in attendance to present the HIA and
with regard to the HIA, which will be taken into consideration as part of
andthe processing of the Planning applications.

executive summary The purpose of the report is to evaluate the impact of the proposed development on 114-120 Victoria Street South, the site of the former Huck Glove Factory and to suggest
potential mitigation strategies to sensitively incorporate the original building into a new development. Due to the scale of the associated development, this Heritage Impact Assessment
will identify existing cultural heritage that meets the criteria for designation and address the new design, proposed impacts and mitigation strategies. In our research, both archival
and primary, we validated that the original building, industry. In this report, we reviewed the building to identify the features that would be recommended for designation. Once the
characteristics of the building's existing value has been established, design guidelines are recommended to meaningfully incorporate into an adaptive reuse project. This approach balances
the desire to respect history, with the need to address contemporary concerns such as sustainability, urban design, accessibility and compliance with the building code. cultural heritage
resources meet the criteria for heritage designation as per Regulation 9/06 heritage resources. As per I Sport Heritage Toolkit Process, potential negative impacts to cultural heritage

mcCallumSather was retained to guide and evaluate design during the development process. Prior to submission, both heritage and the design team worked together to form a strategy and
approach for the restoration and adaptation of the cultural resource on the site. Historical analysis, design recommendations and coordination are required to address both the existing
property and the resulting impact of the proposed alteration and construction following the City of Kitcheners planning requirements and the This report is created to evaluate the
impacts of the proposed design of adjacent buildings. Recommendations contained in this report are based on a thorough a cultural heritage resource. In the report, both conservation
and mitigation options are considered, where appropriate, in order to propose a development which appropriately conserves, adapts and adds to its existing cultural resources. The adaptation
strategy applies conservation principles balanced with new construction techniques to mitigate any potential negative impacts to both the original structure and decorative features.
A balanced approach to conservation and adaptation has guided the development design in all areas and will continue to do so in future phases. The adaptive reuse and detailed in future
