BUILT FORM
King-Parliament Then and Now A major objective of the King-Parliament Secondary Plan is to encourage redevelopment of the area through THEN NOW the reinvestment and re-use of existing buildings. All new development is required to be “mutually compatible and complement the existing built form character and scale of the area,” (Policy 2.2). Many developments in the area achieve this objective but over time there has been an incremental increase in tall building applications with greater building mass. This trend is deviating from the built form direction of the Secondary Plan.
This series of photographs shows specifi c sites in the King-Parliament area in 1996 and today. They show that some blocks have remained unchanged while others have been adaptively re-used and further developed. Distillery District THEN NOW

Existing Policy Direction • The Jarvis Parliament area is targeted for signifi cant growth, with a mix of compatible land uses including commercial, industrial, institutional, residential, live/work and entertainment uses within new buildings and existing ones, including the numerous historically and architecturally signifi cant buildings in the area.
• New residential uses must be complementary to King-Parliament’s role as a business area, providing an incentive for the retention of existing buildings, especially those of architectural or heritage merit.

Existing Policy Direction
• Queen Street East consists of a wide range of building types including house form buildings, older multiple storey industrial buildings and street-related commercial residential buildings.
• Commercial, residential, institutional or street- related retail and service uses are permitted on Queen Street East.
• Corktown is regarded as a unique, small scale, fi ne grained community consisting generally of small properties, including heritage buildings. The area is considered stable and gradual change is encouraged.
Map 15-1 of the existing King-Parliament Secondary Plan identifi es different policy areas. The Queen St. Mixed Use Area is shown in purple and the Corktown Mixed Use Area is shown in yellow. • New development in Corktown will consist primarily of small scale infi ll development and building conversions that are sensitive to the existing character and form of the community.

Existing Policy Direction
• The West Don Lands will be developed in a manner that integrates the area back into the physical structure of the City and builds upon the positive surrounding features, particularly Gooderham & Worts and the recreational and open space potential of the Don River corridor. These lands will be targeted for signifi cant growth and will be revitalized for a mix of uses including residential, live/work, commercial, industrial, light industrial, institutional, recreational and open space.
• The Gooderham & Worts area will include commercial, institutional and light industrial

Development will focus on the establishment of emerging economic sectors of the new economy, the restoration of existing heritage resources, and the integration of residential uses. HERITAGE
What is a Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA)? A Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) documents an area’s development history to ensure that properties of cultural heritage value or interest are appropriately identified, understood and conserved. This information helps City Planning respond to growth while accounting for the cultural heritage value that adds character to our neighbourhoods.
How are properties evaluated through a CHRA? A CHRA applies provincial criteria as required in the City's Official Plan to evaluate properties within a defined area for their cultural heritage value or interest. CHRAs prioritize an understanding of the historic context of an area, and how properties relate to that context. Where information is readily available, consideration of design or the unique history of a particular property may also be identified. Public consultation is an important part of the CHRA process. The King-Parliament CHRA will survey only those areas which have never before been comprehensively evaluated through a heritage survey.
How will the results of the CHRA be used? The CHRA will result in a list of properties that have potential cultural heritage value. That list will be used to inform planning policies and guidelines which can help conserve those properties and their contribution to the character of an area. The properties may also be further evaluated and recommended for inclusion on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register. The Heritage Register is a publicly accessible, Council adopted register of properties that have been evaluated and determined to have cultural heritage value. The Heritage Register includes properties that are listed (non-designated), and properties that have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
