The applicant is seeking Council's permission to construct a rear addition to the west elevation of the existing office building located at 400 Queen Street South, within the Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District (VPHCD). The Catholic Family Counselling Services is located in the existing building which was originally constructed in 1999 and was the subject of a Mike Wagner Heritage Award. REPORT: The subject property is located within the Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District on the west side of Queen Street South between Courtland Avenue and Schneider Avenue. The existing building is a three storey red brick structure with hipped and multi-gabled roof, and detailed with wood and concrete accents. The applicant wishes to construct a series of small additions resulting in a one and three storey addition being added to the west side of the existing building. The additions will add 191 m2 to the footprint of the existing building (19.39%}, and result in a total building area of 2321 m2 fan increase of 487m2}. The proposed rear addition is to match the original building in architectural design, height and materials. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. CONCLUSION: The proposed addition meets the intent of the Victoria Park Heritage District Plan policies and guidelines. The new construction will match the existing building in design, height and materials and will not have an adverse impact on the heritage character of the surrounding area. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of HPA 2006-V-018.
