    ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement – 721 Eastern Avenue Date: January 16, 2019 To: Toronto and East York Community Council Toronto Preservation Board From: Senior Manager, Urban Design/Heritage, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 14 - Toronto Danforth SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property on the City's Heritage Register, state its intention to designate the property at 721 Eastern Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and to grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement. Located in Leslieville, on the south side of Eastern Avenue, between Carlaw Avenue and Leslie Street, north of Lakeshore Boulevard, the property contains a collection of ten, one-two storey, industrial structures constructed from 1925-1980 for Hoyt Metal of Canada Ltd., subsequently known as The Canada Metal Company Ltd. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. This report recommends the designation of the original Hoyt Metal of Canada Ltd. Main Building office and warehouse (Building A), 1925-26, designed by Wells & Gray Ltd., a significant structure of the Canada Metal Company Ltd. industrial complex. The property was recently sold and in July 2018 City Council adopted recommendations to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-Laws and include the designation and a heritage easement agreement for the Hoyt Metal Company Main Building (Building A) as part of a substantial redevelopment of the property at 721 Eastern Avenue.
