PROPOSED HERITAGE DESIGNATION
THE ORONO ARMOURY
6 PARK STREET, ORONO
FILE: PLN 34.5.1
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-78-99 be received;
2. THAT the request of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee to
designate as a historical structure the Orono Armoury, 6 Park Street, Orono be
APPROVED;
3. THAT the Clerk prepare the required notice of intent pursuant to the provisions of
the Ontario Heritage Act and report back to Council following the prescribed
notification period; and
4. THAT the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee be advised of
Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 The Planning Department received a copy of a request submitted to the Local
Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) to designate as having
historic and/or architectural value or interest the Orono Armoury, 6 Park Street,
Orono. The structure is described in Attachment No.1.
The property has been listed in the Municipality of Clarington's LACAC inventory of
heritage resources (H689) as being of "Primary" heritage value.

1.2 The Ontario Heritage Act empowers a municipality to pass a by-law designating a
structure to be of historic and/or architectural value or interest. The Act stipulates
that the owner of a structure so designated cannot alter the structure where such
alteration is likely to affect the reasons for designation without the written consent
of Council. Council is required to consider any application for alteration of a
designated property in consultation with the LACAC.
1.3 In October of 1991 Staff Report PD-236-91 was presented to Council requesting the
designation of four properties, one of which was the Orono Armoury building. As
the Municipality was the owner of the structure at that time, the designation request
originated from the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee. Council
did not proceed with the designation pending the possible sale of the structure. The
property has since been sold and the current owner has requested that the building
be recognized by designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The LACAC has
provided the owner with relevant information related to the designation of the
property, including the restrictions placed on the property as a result of designation.
2. COMMENTS
2.1 Staff have reviewed the property in terms of its Official Plan and Zoning By-law
designation. In addition, both external and internal visual inspections of the
property were conducted. Staff support the designation of the structure, pursuant to
the Ontario Heritage Act, as having historic and/or architectural significance.
2.2 It is therefore recommended that the Clerk prepare, send and publish the required
notice of intent pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and report back
to Council following the prescribed notification period.

ATTACHMENT NO.1
The Orono Armoury
6 Park Street, Orono
This former armoury was constructed between 1913 and 1914 and was used up until
World War II for both military and civilian functions. Purchased by the Orono Police
Trustees in 1954, it continued to serve as a meeting place for community groups. The
structure represents the mandatory design dictated for early 20th century armoury buildings
and forms an eminent part of the Orono streetscape.
The Orono Armoury building is recommended for designation under the Ontario Heritage
Act for its historical significance and the following exterior architectural features:
. Masonry work with its corbelling and pilasters
. Multi-paned upper storey windows and voussoirs
. Multi-paned windows and voussoirs on the first floor at the rear
. Third floor circular windows and decorative trim
