EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Heritage Permit Application HPA-2023-IV-008 proposes alterations to the existing building
at 97 Victoria Street North, as well as a third storey addition and a one-storey rear addition.
The existing property is in the process of being designated under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act (OHA). The alterations include window replacements of all the windows of the
existing building in order to meet net-zero building requirements. Only the front façade
windows have been identified as a heritage attribute for the building. The third storey will
accommodate residential units and the one-storey addition will have a dining hall and
outreach area. These modifications are necessary to adaptively re-use the building as
affordable housing by The Working Centre. In reviewing the merits of this application,
Heritage Planning staff note that the proposed alterations will not have an adverse negative
impact on the heritage attributes of the building and that the additions will be compatible but
distinguishable from the existing building.
BACKGROUND:
The Development Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA-
2023-IV-008 (Attachment A) seeking permission for the alterations and adding a third storey
to the subject property municipally addressed as 97 Victoria Street North (Fig. 1). The
subject property is currently listed as a non-designated property of cultural heritage interest
or value and is in the process of being designated under Part IV of the OHA.
Figure 1: Location Map of 97 Victoria Street North.
The submission and approval of a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was made a
requirement of a proposed Site Plan, Severance of Land, and Minor Variance applications
that were submitted to the City in 2022 for 83-97 Victoria Street North. Since 83 Victoria
Street North has no heritage status, only 97 Victoria Street North was assessed in the HIA.
The HIA dated December 2, 2022, prepared by LHC Heritage Planning and Archaeology
was submitted to the City in support of these applications and was presented to the Heritage
Kitchener Committee at its January 3, 2023 meeting. These applications related to the
retention of the existing structures at 83 and 97 Victoria Street North, adding a third storey
to the to the existing structure at 97 Victoria Street North, and also a one-storey addition
attached towards the rear of the existing building.
The proposed development includes 44 affordable rental housing units and relocating the
-storey dining hall and community clinic on-site for
counselling and recreation. A severance application to divide the site for financing purposed
was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on January 17, 2023. The development
proposal has received conditional site plan approval, subject to several conditions, including
final approval of the Heritage Impact Assessment by the Director of Planning, and that 97
Victoria Street North be designated under Part IV of the OHA.
Since the building will be designated under Part IV of the OHA, Section 30 (2) of the OHA
gives municipalities interim control over alteration, demolition or removal. This heritage
permit application and report accompanies the Notice of Intention to Designate 97 Victoria
Street North under Part IV of the OHA, also on the Heritage Kitchener Agenda.
REPORT:
The subject property is located on the south side of Victoria Street North near the
intersection of Victoria Street North. It was built c. 1927 in the Industrial Vernacular style of
architecture (Fig.2 & 3). It is presently listed as a non-designated property of cultural heritage
Warehouse District Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL). The subject property is also located
adjacent to 70 Francis Street South, which is also listed as a non-designated property of
This building
has been identified for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values.
Figure 2: Front façade of 97 Victoria Street North.
Figure 3: Front and East façade of 97 Victoria Street North.
According to the draft HIA, the heritage attributes of this building include:
All elements related the Industrial Vernacular architectural style of the building,
including:
o Two-storey height;
o Symmetrical northwest (primary) façade;
o Flat roof with shaped parapet on the northwest (primary) façade;
o Shallow buttresses that define distinct bays along each of the building
elevations;
o Brick construction comprising of red, yellow and beige brick;
o Original window openings with soldier course brick headers and concrete sills;
o Six-over-six windows on the northwest (primary) façade; and
o Chimney set in stretcher bonded, yellow brick with concrete banding.
All elements related to the contextual value, including:
o Location of the building and contribution that it makes to the continuity and
character of the Victoria Street streetscape and Warehouse District; and
o The link to the surrounding Warehouse District.
Site Plan Application for the Proposed Development
As mentioned above, a Site Plan application was submitted for the proposed development
in November 2022, along with an HIA in support of this application (Fig. 4). The site plan
application received condition approval on February 9, 2023. As part of the final approval
for the site, a number of heritage conditions have been included, with the designation of this
property and obtaining a heritage permit for the proposed development being two of them.
Figure 4: Proposed Site Plan for 83-97 Victoria Street North.
Draft Heritage Impact Assessment for 97 Victoria Street North
The draft HIA (Attachment B) that was submitted in support of this application makes the
following conclusions and recommendations:
- That the building meets criteria for designation under Ontario Regulation 9/06 (
amended by 569/22) for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual
values.
- That the project team, in consultation with the City of Kitchener, review alternatives
for replacement of the original windows on the front façade.
- That a Conservation Plan (CP) be prepared by a qualified heritage professional to
minimize the potential for unintended impacts resulting from project consultation.
- The proposed development will not have an impact on either 70 Francis Street North
or the Warehouse District CHL.
The HIA is still in its draft stage and has not yet been approved by the Director of Planning.
Proposed Window Alterations for the Building
Several alterations are proposed for the building, including replacing all the existing windows
with new metal windows (Fig 5 & 6). Apart from the six-over-six windows on the front façade,
none of the windows are original, and are also not listed as heritage attributes of the building.
The windows are being replaced for two reasons:
1. In order to meet net-zero building standards.
2. To allow for maximum capacity per residential units. Also, an additional consideration
was the ceiling height within the building. In order to update
accommodate the proposed residential units, the ceiling must be dropped. After
considering several window alternatives, it was ultimately decided to divide the extant
windows into two bays.
Figure 5: Architect drawing detailing window specifications with respect to building ceiling height.
Figure 6: Rendering showing the proposed window replacement.
However, it should be noted that although the configuration of the windows is changing,
these windows will be inset into the existing window openings found along each elevation.
The applicant is also proposing to replace the original front façade buildings and is still
considering alternatives that would be an appropriate replacement for these windows in
terms of style and material while still achieving net-zero requirements.
Proposed Third Storey Addition
A third storey addition is also being proposed for the existing building (Fig. 7). The proposed
addition will be similar in size and height (3.8 m) to the existing two-storeys (height of the
first storey is 3.7m and 4.1m of the second storey). This addition is proposed to be clad in
metal panelling and will have a similar fenestration pattern as the two other storeys. In order
setback. According to the HIA, to create a visual budder between the existing building and
the new third storey, a narrow metal band circumnavigates the connection between the
second and third storeys. Lastly, this addition will wrap around the existing chimney.
Figure 7: Rendering of the proposed third storey addition.
Proposed One-Storey Addition on the Southwest Corner
The current outreach wing located on the southwest corner of the building towards the rear
of the property is proposed to be demolished. It will be replaced with a newer, larger
southwest wing to be used as a dining hall and outreach area. This primary façade of this
addition will include a curtain wall with metal panelling with exposed mass timber framing
on the interior. The rear façade of this addition will be clad in masonry.
Figure 8: Rendering showing the proposed one-storey addition towards the rear of the building.
Respect for original location do not move buildings unless there is no other means
to save them. Site is an integral component of a building or structure. Change in site
diminishes cultural heritage value considerably.
Respect for historical material repair/conserve rather than replace building
materials and finishes except where absolutely necessary. Minimal intervention
maintains the heritage content of the built heritage resource.
Respect for original fabric repair to return the resource to its prior condition, without
altering its integrity.
Legibility new work should be distinguished from old. Buildings should be
recognized as products of their own time, and new additions should not blur the
distinction between old and new.
Maintenance with continuous care, future restoration will not be necessary. With
regular upkeep, major conservation projects and their high costs can be avoided.
The Standards and Guidelines
for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada, especially:
Conserve the heritage value of an historic place. Do not remove, replace, or
substantially alter its intact or repairable character defining elements. Do not move a
part of a historic place if its current location is a character-defining elements.
Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention.
Find a use for an historic place that requires minimal or no change to its character-
defining elements.
Make any intervention needed to preserve character-defining elements physically
and visually compatible with the historic place identifiable on close inspection.
Document any intervention for future reference.
Create any new additions or related new construction so that the essential form and
integrity of an historic place will not impaired if the new work is removed in the future.
Heritage Planning Comments
In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning staff note the following:
The subject property municipally addressed as 97 Victoria Street North is currently
listed as a non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest. The building
is in the process of being designated under Part IV of the OHA.
The proposed development includes the replacement of all windows to meet net-zero
building standards, as well as the addition of a third storey and a one-storey addition
towards the rear of the building.
These changes are necessary to adaptively re-use the building as an affordable
housing project.
The windows on the front façade have been identified as heritage attributes and are
proposed to be replaced. Staff are currently working with the applicant to review
alternatives so the final windows are appropriate replacements in design and style.
The additions are distinguishable but compatible with the existing building.
The proposed alteration and additions will not have an adverse negative impact on
the character defining elements of the building.
The Standards and Guidelines for Historical Places in Canada.
The proposed alteration and additions will not adversely impact the reasons for
designation of the property not the Victoria Street streetscape and the Warehouse
District CHL.
In accordance with the Heritage Permit Application form, the approval of an application
under the Ontario Heritage Act shall not be a waiver of any of the provisions of any by-law
of the City of Kitchener or legislation, including but not limited to, the requirements of the
Ontario Building Code and Zoning By-law. In this regard, staff confirm that a Building Permit
will be needed for the proposed alterations and addition.

PART A: SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are designed to assist applicants in submitting sufficient information in order that
their Heritage Permit Application may be deemed complete and processed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
If further assistance or explanation is required please contact heritage planning staff at heritage@kitchener.ca.
1.WHAT IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION?
The Province of Ontario, through the Ontario Heritage Act, has enacted legislation to assist its citizens with
the protection and conservation of cultural heritage resources.
Once properties are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City is enabled to manage physical
change to the cultural heritage resources as a means of protection. The principal mechanism of management
is the Heritage Permit Application process, which allows the municipality to review site-specific applications
and determine if proposed changes will beneficially or detrimentally affect the reasons for designation and
heritage attributes.
As a general rule, the preferred alterations to heritage properties are those that repair rather than replace
original heritage attributes, and those that do not permanently damage cultural heritage resources and their
heritage attributes. Where replacement of materials or new construction is necessary, these should be
compatible with the original. Reversibility is also preferable as this allows for the future reinstatement of
heritage attributes.
According to the Ontario Heritage Act, no owner of designated property shall alter the property or permit the
alteration of the property if the alteration is likely to affect the property’s heritage attributes, unless the owner
applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent. This consent is obtained through the
approval of a Heritage Permit Application.
Heritage Permit Applications are applicable for all individually designated properties (under Part IV of the
Ontario Heritage Act) and all properties located within the boundaries of Heritage Conservation Districts
(designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act).
2.WHEN IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIRED?
Under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, any new construction or “alteration” to a property designated
under Part IV of the Act (individually designated property) or a property designated under Part V of the Act
(within a Heritage Conservation District) requires a Heritage Permit Application. “Alteration” is defined as: “to
change in any manner and includes to restore, renovate, repair or disturb.” In addition, the approval of a
Heritage Permit Application is required for any demolition of a property designated under Part IV or V of the
Act. Please contact Heritage Planning staff directly to confirm if your specific project requires the
approval of a Heritage Permit Application.
Below are some examples of typical Part IV alterations that may require a Heritage Permit Application:
Addition and/or alteration to an existing building or accessory building
Replacement of windows or doors, or a change in window or door openings
Change in siding, soffit, fascia or roofing material
Removal and/or installation of porches, verandahs and canopies
Removal and/or installation of cladding and chimneys
Changes in trim, cladding, or the painting of masonry
Repointing of brick

Note:Heritage Permit Application requirements differ between Part V designations depending on the policies
and guidelines of the respective Heritage Conservation District Plans. Please refer to the City of Kitchener’s
website at www.kitchener.ca/heritage to download a copy of the relevant Heritage Conservation District Plan
(Civic Centre Neighbourhood, St. Mary’s, Upper Doon, and Victoria Park Area).

purpose for this proposed alteration is twofold. First, the Owner is seeking to create a net-zero
building. Accordingly, the proposed windows reduce the total glazed area, increase
opaque/insulated area, and minimize mullion thermal breaks. Second, to allow for the maximum
capacity of residential units, two units per structural bay is optimal. At present, there is one
window per structural bay. An additional consideration was the ceiling height within the
78
December2022LHC | Heritage Planning and Archaeology Project #LHC0333
structure. To allow passage of the updated building systems, the ceiling must be dropped. The
extant window openings are too tall and would conflict with this requirement. Due to theunit
requirementsand building systems considerations, therefore, the extant window design requires
alterations. The project architect, bnkc, considered several window alternatives for the proposed
design (Figure 17). Ultimately, it was decided to divide the extant window bays in two. The
proposed new windows comprise a metallic frame, inset into the existing window openings proposed new windows comprise a metallic frame, inset into the existing window openings proposed
