The developer, City Property, is requesting demolition permits and plan to utilize the area for parking purposes. Due to the size of the development, however, an HIA is necessary.

 

The buildings on the properties are older than 60 years, but has been adapted over the years to such an extent that it has no inherent heritage importance left. Also nothing else of heritage importance was noted.

 

The applicable social consultation has also been done, consisting of site notices and newspaper advertisements.  No comments were received.

 

The development may therefore continue. It is recommended that this HIA report be approved by the PHRA-G and that the demolition of the existing buildings on the properties be approved.
