1 To: From: Resource Staff: Date of Meeting: April 4, 2016 Subject: Executive Summary: City of Kingston Information Report to Heritage Kingston Report Number HK Chair and Members of Heritage Kingston Lanie Hurdle, Commissioner, Community Services Paige Agnew, Director, Planning, Building & Licensing Services Information Report - Cultural Heritage Property Evaluation and Conservation Project and Review of Proposed Listings This report provides an update on the Cultural Heritage Property Evaluation (CHPE) and Conservation Project and the proposed next steps. Staff will be recommending the inclusion of 127 new properties to the City s Heritage Properties Register as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest (known as listed properties). This report is provided to the Committee for consultative purposes as per Section 27(1.3) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The City retained Archaeological Research Associates (ARA) in January of 2015 to complete a review of 144 properties and to provide a statement of significance report on each. The reports were subsequently reviewed by the City s Historic Properties Research Working Group (now the Heritage Properties Working Group) with revisions being made as appropriate. Through the work of ARA and the working group, 95 properties are being recommended for designation ; seven (7) updates are recommended to existing designation by-laws (i.e. the addition of heritage attributes); 31 new listings are recommended; and 11 properties have been identified as having little cultural heritage value and therefore no further action is recommended. Section 27(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0.18 allows the Council of a Municipality to include in their Heritage Register, properties that are not designated but are of cultural heritage value or interest. In accordance with Section 27(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act, the City Clerk keeps the Register; however, Planning, Building & Licensing Services administers additions to the Register. Staff propose to initially list 127 properties on the City s Heritage Properties Register (), including 119 from the CHPE project and eight (8) from the 2013 Williamsville Designation project thus providing for a baseline level of conservation. 64

2 Information Report to Heritage Kingston Report Number HK April 4, 2016 Page 2 of 7 Once listed in the Register, those properties earmarked for further protection will be considered for designation. The designation of properties under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act will be preceded by a process of land owner consultation and opportunity to review the reports and working group findings. Where owners are not in agreement with the City s findings, staff will arrange to meet with property owners to discuss the rationale for any proposed designation. In some instances, owners may be required to provide information to substantiate a position of disagreement with the findings of the City. In some cases, staff may still recommend to designate the property and will prepare all related documentation (i.e. notice and implementing by-law). This approach will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Recommendation: This report is for information purposes only. 65

4 Information Report to Heritage Kingston Report Number HK April 4, 2016 Page 4 of 7 Options/Discussion: City s Vision The City s Strategic Plan has an overall vision for the City to become Canada s most sustainable City, and includes Protect heritage as a component of Planning a Livable City ; one of the six priorities of the Plan to achieve its overall vision. The Goal of the City s Official Plan (Section 2.1) is To protect, conserve and strategically deploy the natural, cultural and built resources of the City in a manner that promotes compatibility between different functions that encourages sustainable forms of energy production and the use of cultural heritage resources to benefit the public good;. The Principles of Growth policies of the Official Plan notes, under Section 2.3.7, Cultural heritage resources will continue to be valued and conserved as part of the City s defining character, quality of life, and as an economic resource that contributes to tourism in both the urban and rural portions of the City. The City of Kingston is well known for its cultural heritage resources and its part in Canadian history. Cultural heritage plays a key role in the City's identity and overall quality of life, and contributes to its economic prosperity. The City s Heritage Properties Register includes approximately 1,200 properties of cultural heritage value and interest. However, this does not represent the breath of cultural heritage resources within the City of Kingston. Given the important role that cultural heritage resources play in Kingston, the City continues to place a high level of priority on conserving this non-renewable resource. Background on CHPE Project The Cultural Heritage Property Evaluation (CHPE) and Conservation Project was initiated in 2014 as part of the City s on-going efforts to support the conservation of its cultural heritage resources. The purpose of the project was to research and evaluate properties of possible cultural heritage value or interest and to prepare the statement of significance for those properties that warrant conservation and inclusion on the City s Heritage Properties Register. Two information reports have been provided to the Municipal Heritage Committee over the past year to introduce this project and to provide a status update (Report Numbers MHC and MHC ). A staff briefing on this project was given to the Committee at its March 7, 2016 meeting. Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) requires municipalities to keep a Register of properties within its jurisdiction that are of cultural heritage value and/or interest. In accordance with Section 27(1) of the OHA, the City Clerk keeps the Register; however, Planning, Building & Licensing Services administers additions to the Register. Under the authority of Section 27(1.2) of the Act, the Register can include properties that are not designated but that Council believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest. These are commonly referred to as listed properties. Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. (ARA) was retained in January 2015 to begin their research and review of 144 properties of possible heritage value throughout the City. The list of properties was compiled from various sources and divided into five (5) phases based on geographic location, origin and priority. 67

5 Information Report to Heritage Kingston Report Number HK April 4, 2016 Page 5 of 7 The evaluation process undertaken by the consultants (ARA), involves individual background research of each property, including a site visit and title/ownership research, and an evaluation of the cultural heritage value of the property based on Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria. This criteria includes an evaluation of the property s physical/design value, its historical or associative value and its contextual value, including their respective sub-criteria (Exhibit B - Property Evaluation and Recommendation Chart). A report outlining the information on each property was prepared by ARA and provided to staff and the Historical Properties Research Working Group for review and comment. Based on the determined level of cultural heritage value a recommendation of the appropriate level of heritage conservation was made i.e. designation; listing; or no further action. Of the 144 properties reviewed, 95 were recommended for designation under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA), seven (7) updates to existing designation by-laws were recommended, thirty-one (31) properties were recommended for inclusion on the Register as listed properties under Section 27 of the OHA, while eleven (11) properties were determined to have little cultural heritage value and did not meet the necessary criteria for inclusion on the Register. Background on Williamsville Designation Project In 2013, Laurie Smith Heritage Consulting was retained to review a selection of 28 buildings along Princess Street between Bath Road and Division Street. Their assessment recommended the designation of nine (9) of those buildings and an update to the designating by-law for 826 Princess Street ( Ashton, also known as the CNIB building). These individual reports were evaluated and reviewed by the Historic Properties Research Working Group in a similar manner as noted above. One of the buildings, the Vaughn Terrace at Princess Street, was designated through By-Law Number on March 27, The remaining eight (8) properties await further action. Notification Process For those properties which are recommended for designation as opposed to just listing, the individual property reports (prepared by ARA or Smith Heritage and reviewed by the Working Group) are used as the basis for drafting the designating by-law (should the property warrant designation). The report and draft by-law are provided, by registered mail, to the property owner(s), preceded and followed by a phone call. Where requested, staff will arrange to meet with property owners to discuss the rationale for any proposed designation. Following consultation with the property owner, staff will prepare a notice of intention to designate and provide a draft designating by-law to Heritage Kingston for review. Once approved by Council, the notice of intention to designate will be served on the property owner(s), the Ontario Heritage Trust and published in the newspaper/website and the thirty (30) day appeal period will commence, as required by the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). A notice of passing is required following the completion of the appeal period. It is staff s intent to work collaboratively with the various property owners to educate them on the implications of a heritage designation and to provide a simple and efficient approval system for all necessary alterations. However, it is reasonable to assume that not all property owners will 68

6 Information Report to Heritage Kingston Report Number HK April 4, 2016 Page 6 of 7 be supportive of the designation of their property. If consensus cannot be reached with the property owner, staff may in some cases recommend that the City proceeds with designation regardless, particularly if the designation of the property is considered to be of high priority. This will be assessed on a case by case basis. The designating by-law will be processed according to the requirement of the OHA and prepared using sound, well researched information by creditable and experienced heritage professionals. Should a by-law be appealed to the Conservation Review Board, staff will ensure that all necessary steps will have been taken and the necessary heritage criteria met, to ensure a defendable City position. Next Steps Given the number of properties recommended for designation, the legislative notices and by-law requirements and the required appeal period, it is possible that the designation of all 103 properties could take up to 24 months to complete. As an intermediary step, staff propose the listing of 127 properties, being those recommended for inclusion on the Register through the CHPE and Williamsville projects, thus affording these properties with a minimal level of heritage protection. The implementation of designating by-laws will be pursued through a process of prioritization, consultation and notification pursuant to the Act. As required by Section 27(1.3) of the Ontario Heritage Act, Council shall consult with its municipal heritage committee prior to adding listed properties to its register. to this report provides the addresses of all the properties to be included on the Register. Further, offers a brief description of the cultural heritage value associated with each property. The full evaluation reports for each property are available by request from the Planning Division. Prior to inclusion on the Register as listed/non-designated properties, property owners received a courtesy letter with the evaluation report, provided by registered mail. There are no appeal rights to Council s decision to be included as a listed property on the Register. Staff also intends to formulate a ranking system to prioritize the 103 properties recommended for new designation in order to focus staff s efforts towards the most significant heritage properties first. The ranking system will be based on the following four criteria: 1. Level of heritage value, based on the number of OHA criteria (O. Reg. 9/06) being met; 2. Level of public visibility and recognisability of the heritage attributes; 3. Age of building; and 4. Level of perceived threat of demolition/substantial alteration. Once ranked, the property owner notification and consultation will follow the program noted above. It is staff s hope that through education and discussion with property owners the majority of the properties recommended for designation will be processed with the owners support.
