South, and refused the applications to demolish 254 and 262 Queen Street
South.
City staff have received a request from the applicant to add the proposed
redevelopment of 242-262 Queen Street South to the November 6, 2018
Heritage Kitchener agenda. The consultant for the applicant advises that a new
concept has been identified, which retains portions of 254 and 262 Queen Street
