Heritage Advisory Committee

That the minutes from the January 17, 2022 meeting of the Heritage Guelph Committee, be approved as amended.

That the Heritage Guelph Advisory Committee now hold a meeting that is closed to the public, pursuant to Section 239(e) of the Municipal Act, related to litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals, affecting the municipality or local board.

That Heritage Guelph confirms that 239 Elizabeth Street continues to be a Built Heritage Resource as defined in the City’s Official Plan, that its retention is supported by the policies of the Official Plan, and confirm our September 2021 finding of cultural heritage value in 239 Elizabeth Street, and recommend it for designation under the Ontario Regulation 9/06. 1. We recommend Council consider the following: 1. Finding from the September 2021 “Staff report: 239 Elizabeth Street: Proposed Demolition of a detached dwelling”, that “The subject property has some cultural heritage value in that it is a representative example of a residential design type and has retained the integrity of its original massing and exterior materials.” This meets the prescription under O Reg 9/06 for Heritage protection that: “The property has design value or physical value because it is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method…” 2. It is a Built Heritage Resource as defined by the Official Plan and confirmed by Heritage Guelph. Built Heritage Resources include those properties that have been included in the Couling Architectural Inventory as it is completed and as it may be amended. All buildings, structures, landscapes, monuments, installations or visible remains constructed prior to 1927, but not limited to those constructed prior to 1927, shall be considered to be Built Heritage Resources until considered otherwise by Heritage
