Site Plan Approval for a 10-storey mixed-use building having a non-residential gross floor area of 399 square metres, and a residential gross floor area of 6015.0 square metres. A total of 18 residential dwelling units are proposed.
Summary |
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the property at 183 Avenue Road under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act and grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for this property. This is in connection with a Zoning By-law Amendment application for properties at 183-189 Avenue Road and 109-11 Pears Avenue that was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT"). The settlement offer included in-situ retention of the west elevation of 183 Avenue Road and partial in-situ retention of the north and south walls. The applicant is now proposing an alternative conservation approach that includes the removal and reconstruction of the south elevation; due to access difficulties on the south side making in-situ conservation of the south wall problematic. In mitigation of this loss of original fabric additional conservation measures are proposed for the heritage building. Located on the east side of Avenue Road north of Davenport Road, the property at 183 Avenue Road contains a three storey, late Victorian era, red brick house-form building that was constructed in 1901. The building is amongst the earliest surviving house-form buildings on this portion of the east side of Avenue Road and represents the earliest period in the historical evolution of Avenue Road. It was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 805-2021) by Council on October 4, 2021. |
