Subject: Procedure for the Review of Property Nominations to the Municipal Heritage
Register
In the fall of 2006, Council approved a process for listing privately owned non-designated
property of cultural heritage value or interest to the Municipal Heritage Register. The four step
listing process involves: evaluation by a recorder; short listing by a subcommittee; review of
short listed properties by Heritage Kitchener; and, a formal decision by City Council as to
whether or not to list non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the
Municipal Heritage Register.
In the next few months, Heritage Planning staff will begin to schedule short listed properties for
review at Heritage Kitchener meetings. As these properties have already been evaluated by a
recorder and short listed by a subcommittee, a formal presentation will not be made by Heritage
Planning staff at the Heritage Kitchener meeting. Rather the completed Cultural Heritage
Resource Evaluation Form and the draft Statement of Significance, including photographs will
be circulated to Heritage Kitchener with each agenda package. Please review this information in
advance of the meeting.
At the Heritage Kitchener meeting, the Chair will announce the item and ask if any Committee
members have any questions. In the absence of questions, the owner will be invited to speak as
a delegation. The Chair will request that a motion be made on the recommendation as
presented in the Staff Report, which details the recorder and subcommittee evaluation and
recommendation as well as the draft Statement of Significance. The Committee
recommendation will be forwarded to Council for final consideration.
At the Heritage Kitchener meeting of September 2nd, the Committee will be introduced to this
process. Please find attached a Staff Report, Statements of Significance, Photographs, and
completed Cultural Heritage Resource Evaluation Forms for 7 Fischer Court and 6 Gordon
Avenue. Please review this information in advance of the meeting.
If you have any comments, questions or concerns regarding the process or properties, please
don't hesitate to contact me in advance of the meeting.
