AIM: To request that Council approve a by-law to designate the Imperial Oil Centre for the Performing Arts located at 160 & 168 Christina Street North, under the Ontario Heritage Act. BACKGROUND & COMMENTS: At their December 6 1h, 1999 meeting, Council gave 1 51 and 2 nd reading to a by-law to designate the Imperial Oil Centre for the Performing Arts property under the Ontario Heritage Act, as requested by the Sarnia Heritage Committee (LACAC). However, concerns were raised by some members of Council regarding the description (Schedule "B" of the By-law) of parts of the building that are to be designated. The by-law was pulled from the Agenda without receiving third and final reading. The chairman oflacac has since clarified the concerns with the Councillors in question and the description in Schedule "B" of the By-law has been revised accordingly. For clarification purposes, the descriptions in Schedule "B" of the by-laws are as follows: Schedule "B" description to the By-law submitted on December 6 th, 1999 Agenda: "The Imperial Oil Centre for the Performing Arts building (formerly known as the Capital Theatre) was designed and built by Mandel Sprachman in The architectural style is described as '"art deco or moderne" and is one of the only remaining building of this style of architecture in Sarnia. Members of Sarnia Heritage Committee (LACAC) are of the opinion that specific art deco features of the building that include the Christina Street facade, the Foyer, the lighting at either side of the stage and the ceiling of the auditorium are worthy of preservation by designating them as heritage features. By designating only these features of the building, the owners of the building would not have to seek the City's approval (through LACAC) for renovations to the building that does not include the aforementioned features that may be required in the future. 12

14 H~) Revised Schedule "B" description to the resubmitted By-law: "The Imperial Oil Centre for the Performing Arts building (formerly known as the Capital Theatre) was designed and built by Mandel Sprachman in The architectural style is described as "art deco or moderne" and is one of the only remaining building of this style of architecture in Sarnia. Members of Sarnia Heritage Committee (LACAC) are of the opinion that specific art deco features of the building that include the Christina Street facade, the Foyer, the ceiling cove, corni~e, hanging structnre and metal dome adjacent to the stage and used for lighting and the ceiling of the auditorium are worthy of preservation by designating them as heritage features. By designating only these features of the building, the owners of the building would not have to seek the City's approval (through LACAC) for renovations to the building that does not include the aforementioned features that may be required in the future." Staff respectfully resubmit the attached By-law for Council's consideration and approval to designate the subject site. RECOMMENDATION: That Sarnia City Council approve the By-law which designates the art deco features of the Imperial Oil Centre for the Performing Arts located at 160 & 168 Christina Street North, including the Christina Street facade, the Foyer, the ceiling cove, cornice, hanging structure and metal dome adjacent to the stage and used for lighting and the ceiling of the auditorium, under the Ontario Heritage Act. / /, 1 Max Williams - Secretary ~ j Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee mw! attach ce.
