6.1 Addition of 1495 Heron Road to the City of Ottawa Heritage Register, under section 27 (1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act
Moved by S. Plante
That the rules of procedure be waived to consider the matter below at the January 17, 2023 Meeting of Built Heritage Committee.
WHEREAS changes to the Ontario Heritage Act, made through Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, came into effect on January 1, 2023; and
WHEREAS these changes mean that Council cannot issue a Notice of Intention to Designate a property subject to a prescribed event if that property is not already included on a municipal register; and
WHEREAS the Campanile complex (Federal Study Centre), 1495 Heron Road (PINs 041890241, 041890250), is not listed on the city’s Heritage Register because of its former ownership by the federal government; and
WHEREAS the current property owner, Canada Lands Corporation (CLC), is expected to submit applications under the Planning Act at the end of the month; and
WHEREAS CLC has been working with staff on a conservation approach for the redevelopment of the property, and is aware of the City’s intention to designate the property concurrently with the associated Planning Act applications; and
WHEREAS the Ontario Heritage Act requires that non-designated properties included on a municipal register must meet one or more of the criteria outlined in Ontario Regulation 09/06, and staff have determined that 1495 Heron Road is an outstanding example of a modernist educational campus, holding direct associations with the Soeurs de la Congregation de Notre Dame and prominent Ottawa architect Tim Murray, thereby satisfying more than one of the criteria.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Built Heritage Committee recommend that Council list 1495 Heron Road on the City of Ottawa’s Heritage Register, under Section 27 (3) of the Ontario Heritage Act.
