EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Heritage Permit Application HPA-2023-IV-027 proposes the partial demolition of the
existing buildingwhile retaining the front façade,which is to be incorporated into a
redevelopment project that includes the construction of a 44-storey residential tower on
the property municipally addressed as 90-92 Queen Street South. The subject property is
currently listed as a non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the
Municipal Heritage Register. A Notice of Intention to Designate was passed by Council on
th
September 25,2023,though a designation by-law has not yet been passed. A draft
Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was completed as part of the site plan application for
this proposed work, and the front façade was identified as being the primary heritage
attribute. As such, and in combination with the recommendations made by the HIA,
conservation of the heritage attributes will be achieved as the new construction takes
place. The recommendations of the HIA included the preparation of key documents, which
have been provided to City Staff and are summarized in the report below.
BACKGROUND:
The Development Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA-
2023-IV-027, which seeks permission for the partial demolition of the building on the
subject property municipally addressed as 90-92 Queen Street South while retaining the
front façade. The retained portion is to be incorporated into a redevelopment project which
includes the construction of a 44-storey residential tower with ground-floor commercial
units.The proposed is part of an active site plan application (SP22/082/Q/CD), which also
encompasses the properties municipally addressed as 88 Queen Street South/1-3 Charles
Street East, and 94-108 Queen Street South.
Figure 1: Location map of 90-92 Queen Street South
90-92 Queen Street South is listed as a non-designated property of cultural heritage value
or interest on the City’s Municipal Heritage Register. Due to the subject property’s status,
the submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was made a requirement for the
submission of the site plan application. The resulting HIA was prepare by Parslow
th
Heritage Consultancy Inc. and presented to the Heritage Kitchener Committee on June 7,
2022. The assessment confirmed that 90-92 Queen Street South met criteria for
designation under Ontario Regulation 9/06 (now amended by Ontario Regulation 569/22).
A motion to publish a Notice of Intention to Designate the subject property under Part IV of
th
the Ontario Heritage Act was passed by Council on September 25, 2023. Council
resolved:
“"That pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, the Clerk be directed to publish
a Notice of Intention to Designate the front façade of the property municipally addressed
as 90-92 Queen Street South as being of cultural heritage value or interest, as outlined in
Development Services Department DSD-2023-358."
th
The Notice of Intention to Designate was published on October 6, 2023. A designating
by-law has not yet been passed by Council, however there is a condition related to the
conditional approval of the site plan that requires the designating by-law to be passed
under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act prior to Site Plan Approval. The designating by-
law will be passed within 120 days of the ad being published.Through the designating
bylaw, the building will be recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and
contextual value. It is identified as meeting the following criteria:

REPORT:
The subject property is located on the west side of Queen Street South, between the
Charles Street intersection to the north and the Joseph Street intersection to the south. It
is within the Downtown Neighbourhood of the City of Kitchener within the Regionof
Waterloo. The subject property contains a two-storey commercial building constructed in
the Art-Deco architectural style c. 1938.
Proposed Development
The proposed redevelopment encompasses the lands municipally addressed as 88-108
Queen Street South and 1-3 Charles Street West. Of these properties, 90-92 Queen
Street is the only one with heritage status. A 44-storey residential condominium tower is
proposed to be constructed. The Art-Deco style façade of 90-92 Queen Street is proposed
to be retained and incorporated into the podium ofthe new tower. In addition, the facades
of 96-108 Queen Street South are proposed to be reconstructed andincorporated into the
base.The reconstructed façade will include the entrance to the parking garage in a
manner that retains the aesthetic of the structure. Though these structures were
determined to have no cultural heritage significance or value, it was the opinion of
Heritage Planning Staff that their retention was important as when viewed in its entirety,
the facades reflected the eclectic mix of architectural styles characteristic of the area and
contributed greatly to the Queen Street South streetscape.The applicants worked with
Staff to accommodate this request and produce the existing design. Above the retained
facades, the rest of the podium is proposed to be setback and lifted to create greater
visual separation between the heritage resource and the new construction.

The following sections provide a summary of the studies and plans requested as part of
the development process. The intent of these key documents are to provide a detailed
explanation of the work proposed, the methodology involved to carry out the work
proposed, and how the protection and conservation of the identified heritage resource will
be ensured during the duration of the work being undertaken.
Draft Heritage Impact Assessment
As stated previously, Parslow Heritage Consultancy Inc (PHC) was commissioned to
complete a HIA as part of the development review process. The HIA established that the
subject property is a significant cultural heritage resource and met the criteria for
designation, with the identified heritage attributes being limited to the Art-Deco
architectural style front façade. In addition to this assessment, the HIA provided an
analysis of the anticipated impacts of the proposed development on the heritage resource,
using the framework provided in the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism, and Culture
Industries Info Sheet #5 Heritage Impact Assessments and Conservation Plans. A

The HIA made the following recommendations to mitigate the impacts of the proposed
development:
Designate the façade of 90-92 Queen Street South under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act;
Complete a pre-construction survey to document the existing conditions of the
façade material;
Complete a Vibration Assessment prior to the commencement of construction
activity to establish a “zone of influence” and create a monitoring program;
Develop a Conservation Plan for 90-92 Queen Street South and Protection Plan for
96-102 and 108 Queen Street South; and
Complete a Salvage Plan for salvage mitigation.
DraftConservation Plan
A draft Conservation Plan (CP) dated June 21,2023 and prepared by PHC has been
submitted to the City. The CP details how the retention and integration of the heritage
façade will be completed in accordance with the Eight Guiding Principles in the
Conservation of Historical Propertiesand the Parks CanadaStandards and Guidelines for
the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.The CP also includes the identification of
any short-term, medium-term, and long-term conservation measures that need to be
undertaken to ensure the heritage value of the façade of the subject property is conserved.
Short-term measures usual involve any conservation work to be undertaken prior to
construction, medium-term measures relate to activities during and immediately following
the completion of construction, and long-term measures consist of monitoring and
conservation to be done for the life of the development. These measures have been
summarized from the CP in the table below.
Conservation Measure TypeMeasure
Short-termNo short-term conservation measures are required
for the façade, as the structural assessment has
noted that the façade is in good condition and will
be able to support final loads.
Medium-termStabilization of the façade, as outlined in the
stabilization plan.
Long-termRestoration of the façade, including:
Restore or replace doors and windows
based on available period documentation.
Repointing of the brick and stone using
appropriate heritage materials.
Repair of holes drilled into ashlar surface;
and
Removal of exposed wires.
Temporary Protection Plan
Structural Assessment
AStructural Assessment of 90-92 Queen Street South was completed by Jablonsky, Ast
th
and Partners Consulting Engineers on December 14, 2022. It included a visual
assessment and an inspection of a test-pit opened on the concrete foundation wall. It was
determined that the masonry, foundation wall, and foundation were in good condition and
would be able to support final loads. The structural assessment concluded that while
localized repairs would likely be required during the course of construction, schematically it
was feasible for the front façade of the subject property to be retained in-situ and the
proposed development constructed behind it.
Demolition Plan
Zoltan Engineering Inc. was retained to complete a Demolition Plan, dated June 21, 2023.
The Demolition Plan includes an assessment of site conditions, identification of equipment
required, and recommendations for the procedure to be used. Shoring is to be put into
place prior to the commencement of the demolition of the building. The demolition is
proposed to be executed by a high reach excavator and standard 25-or 30-tonexcavator
with hydraulic shears and grapples and smaller bobcats. Atop-down sequence is
recommended, with the roof, walls, and flooring system being removed in order so that
demolition can progress downward one story at a time. The hydraulic shears are to be
used to break off connections between various building elements and structural members
as needed. The demolition is to be done in such a way the debris falls inwards, and it is
recommended that the work be complete in small manageable portions. The demolition
plan acknowledges the heritage resource on site and requiresthat the other plans,
including the Stabilization Plan and Documentation and Salvage Plan, be referenced as
needed.
Stabilization Plan
A Stabilization Plan has been attached to the Conservation Plan as Appendix G and H.
The work was completed by Witzel Dyce Engineering Incorporated and is dated June 14,
2023. It proposes that the stabilization happen in two phases to best accommodate the
sequence of onsite construction activities.Due to the proximity of the façade to the
sidewalk, it is proposed that the temporary wall bracing occur from the back side of the
wall.
The first phase will include the installation of concrete footings in the basement of the
existing building, so that a structural steel frame could be installed on the back side of the
existing wall. A second row of footings will support a wind brace. The steel frame will be
used to fasten threaded rod fasteners through the exterior wall, with the rods being
strategically placed at mortar joints to minimize damage to the masonry units. This first
phase of wall-bracing will allow for the demolition of the existing structure and site
preparation for excavation.
The second phase would include new vertical columns being cantilevered off the top of the
steel piles used for the earth shoring. The new columns would fasten to the frame installed
in the first phase. Final connections to the new building is to be completed as soon as the
construction of the concrete superstructure for the new development has progressed
beyond the height of the existing masonry wall.
Risk Management Plan
The following table identifies activities that may pose some risk, and the actions to be
undertaken to alleviate or eliminate potential negative impacts.

Vibration Monitoring Vibration monitoring units will be installed in neighboring
buildings. Unattended vibration will be done with a site visit
once per week. If the vibration measurements exceed the
allowable tolerances, then all further prescribed activity will
come to a pause on site. RWHand structural consultants will be
contacted to provide remedial action and mitigate further
disturbance and potential damages.

baseline vibrations. Readings gathered during construction activities will be monitored and
compared to ensure compliance with local bylaws and standards. Monitoring is tooccur on
a continuous basis during the construction period.
Documentationand Salvage Plan
Per the recommendations of the HIA, a Documentation and Salvage Plan has been
prepared by PHC, dated July 11, 2023. The Salvage and Documentation Plan provides an
inventory of the built and non-built heritage fabric that can be salvaged from the subject
property before the partial demolition of the building. Identified items that can be salvaged
are as follows:
All Structures
o Interior trim
o Brick, if possible, for integration into recreated facades
o Framing elements
o Plank flooring
o Original windows
102 Queen Street South
o Cast sills
o Entablature
o Base of pilasters
94 Queen Street South
o Brackets
88 Queen Street South
o Lintels
o Belt course material
o
Keystone
o Cast entrance components
o Tin entablatures (upper and lower)
o Round headed and other original windows (specifically on the Charles Street West
Façade)
o Mural on Charles Street West façade
The reclaimed material is proposed to be used in the reconstruction of the facades
adjacent to the heritage resource, where feasible. If it is not deemed to be possible to
utilize the material, then it is recommended that it be made available for reuse on
properties outside the proposed development. It is recommended that a salvage firm be
retained to assist with this matter.
Commemoration and Interpretation Plan
A Commemoration and Interpretation Plan dated July 12, 2023 has been prepared by
PHC. While the focus of the commemoration strategy lies in the retention and restoration
of the façade of 90-92 Queen Street South, the plan also makes the following
recommendations in terms of interpretation:
Install a plaque on the exterior of the 90-92 Queen Street South façade indicating
the façade is Designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (once this
process iscomplete). This plaque can include the assumed construction date of the
façade, andhighlight the use of the building by Pearl Laundry Cleaners & Dyers. In
consultation withthe City of Kitchener, the plaque could include a QR code that
leads an interested party to a City webpage that includes the Designation By-law
(once complete), a history of the property, and, if deemed appropriate andupon
agreement with the Proponent, a PDF of the CHIA for 90-92 Queen Street South.
The plaque must be attached to the façade of the structure in a way that does not
result in permanent damage to the exterior finish. Design of the plaque should be
undertaken by the Proponent in consultation withheritage staff at the City of
Kitchener; final design of the plaque should be submitted toheritage staff at the City
of Kitchener for approval prior to installation.
The interior space behind the 90-92 Queen Street South façade is proposed to be
public amenity space. This space should include an interpretive display. This
display should commemorate the history of 90-92 Queen Street South and the role
Pearl Laundry Cleaners & Dyers played in the community. It is recommended the
Proponent work with local museum staff and retain an exhibition designer to design
of the display. The design of the display should be undertaken in consultation with
heritage staff at theCity of Kitchener.
Heritage Planning Comments
In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning Staff note the following:
The existing building is currently listed as a non-designated property of cultural
heritage value or interest on the City’s Municipal Heritage Register;
th
A Notice of Intention to Designate was published on October 6, 2023, to designate
the façade of the existing building;
Per the HIA, most of the identified heritage attributes of the building are located on
the front façade of the building and are to be retained.
The retention of the heritage façade and the reconstruction of the adjacent facades
will allow the new development to be read as part of the existing historic rhythm of
the commercial streetscape.
The podium above the heritage façade is proposed to be lifted andsetback from the
second-storey roofline, providing greater visual separation between the old and new
and allowing the focus of attention to be trained on the heritage resource.
The designating by-law to be passed by Council will ensure that the façade and
heritage attributes of the building will be protected in the case of future applications;
The submission of a Temporary Protection Plan, Documentation and Salvage Plan,
and Commemoration and Interpretation Plan will detail the specifics on how the
identified heritage attributes will be adequately protected and conserved pre-
construction, during construction, and after construction activities. The submission
of these documents in a requirement to be completed prior to any activity
commencing on site, priorto the issuance of final site plan approval, and/or prior to
the issuance of the final heritage permit.
Heritage Planning Staff have also assessed the proposed work against the best practices
and guidelines from the following provincial documents.
The Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Historical Properties,prepared by the
Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalismand endorsed by the Ontario Heritage Trust,
provide a framework for decision making in architectural conservation, so that
interventions respect or minimize affects on character, features, and context. The
proposed work complies with the eight principles; in particular the following are met.
Respect for documentary evidence–do not base restoration on conjecture.
Conservation work should be based on historical documentation, such as historical
photographs, drawings and physical evidence.
Respectfor the original location –do not move buildings unless there is no other
means to save them. Site is an integral component of a building. Any change in site
diminishes heritage value considerably.
Respect for historical material –repair or conserve rather than replace building
materials and finishes, except where absolutely necessary. Minimal intervention
maintains the historical content of the resource.
Legibility –new work should be distinguishable from old. Buildings should be
recognized as products of their own time, and new additions should not blur the
distinction between old and new.
The proposed work is also in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for the
Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.
Further, Heritage Planning Staff are generally in agreement with the findings and
conclusions of the revisedHeritage Impact Assessment (HIA) dated March 2022. Thought
most of the building is proposed to be demolished, the identified heritage attributes located
on the front façade will be conserved and integrated into the new development. Further,
portions of the building subject todemolition are proposed to be salvaged and
incorporated into the new condominium as well. Heritage Planning Staff agree with the
measures outlined in the HIA and are of the opinion that the recommended measures, in
addition to other identified conditions,will be sufficient in appropriately protecting,
conserving, and integrating the heritage resource.
The approval of an application under the Ontario Heritage Act is not a waiver of any of the
provisions of any legislation, including but not limited to the requirement of the Ontario
Building Code and Kitchener’s Zoning By-law. In this regard, the applicant is advised that
full site plan approval and a building permit are still required.
