CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW The CHC should ratify the submission that has been drafted by Vic. MOTION 10.12 Moved by Andrew Kozak, Seconded by Karina Isert. That the Official Plan Review of Clarington consider the following submission: Cultural Heritage Cultural heritage resources are the inheritance of natural and cultural assets that give people a sense of place, community and personal identity. Continuity with the past promotes creativity and cultural diversity. Our area has a rich and diverse heritage, including distinctive cultures, traditions, festivals, artisans and craftspeople, landmarks, landscapes, properties, structures, burial sites, cemeteries, natural features and archaeological resources. These resources provide an important means of defining and confirming our identity, enhancing the quality of life of our community, supporting social development and promoting economic prosperity. Mission statements in Section 8 of the Official plan to be included: Clarington will ensure that cultural heritage resources are conserved using the provisions of the Heritage Act, the Planning Act, the Environmental Assessment Act, the Cemeteries Act and the Municipal Act. Clarington will prepare an Implementation Guideline for Conserving Significant Cultural Heritage Resources. This guideline will outline the criteria and processes Clarington will follow to identify and conserve cultural heritage resources of interest. Clarington will identify cultural heritage resources by establishing and maintaining: i) a listing of properties that are of cultural heritage value or interest. ii) a municipal register of properties that are of cultural heritage value or interest. This registry properties designated under Part IV, V or VI of the Heritage Act, and properties that have heritage conservation easements or covenants registered against title. Amended Clarington will provide resources to facilitate listed properties to the municipal registry. Cultural Heritage Landscapes Clarington will prepare an Implementation Guideline for Cultural Heritage Landscape Conservation. This guideline will outline the framework for identifying Cultural Heritage Landscapes and for documenting each individual landscape through a Cultural Heritage Conservation Landscape Plan that includes: (a) a statement of significance; (b) a listing of the cultural heritage resources and attributes being conserved within the Cultural Heritage Landscape through the use of existing planning tools, such as Heritage Act designations, listings on the Municipal Register, official plan policies, secondary plans and zoning bylaws; and (c) Clarington will designate Cultural Heritage Landscapes in their official plans and establish associated policies to conserve these areas. The purpose of this designation is to conserve groupings of cultural heritage resources that together have greater heritage significance than their constituent elements or parts. As a subset of the cultural heritage landscape, Scenic Roads Clarington will establish policies in their Official Plan to protect the scenic values of their roads, including the view from the road to prominent heritage buildings or natural landscape features. Clarington recognizes that many of our Roads are characterized by natural, cultural heritage and recreational features that contribute to their scenic value. During any construction or upgrades, Clarington will, wherever feasible, endeavour to protect and/or enhance the scenic value of such features along their Roads. Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment Clarington will establish policies in the Official Plan to require the submission of a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment in support of a proposed development that includes or is adjacent to a designated property, or includes a non-designated resource of cultural heritage value or interest listed on the Municipal Heritage Register. Amended Clarington will require the owner/applicant to submit a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment where a development application includes, or is adjacent to, a cultural heritage resource of interest which is not listed on a Municipal Register but on the listing. Clarington will establish policies in the Official Plan for procedures to Review and approve the submitted Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment. Clarington's Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment will include, but not be limited to the following: (i) historical research, site analysis and evaluation; (ii) identification of the significance and heritage attributes of the cultural heritage resource; (iii) description of the proposed development or site alteration; (iv) assessment of development or site alteration impacts; (v) consideration of alternatives, mitigation and conservation methods; (vi) schedule and reporting structure for implementation and monitoring; and (vii) a summary statement and conservation recommendations. Where it is not feasible to conserve a cultural heritage resource intact, the conservation recommendations will: (i) promote the reuse of the resource, building, or building elements to preserve the resource and the handiwork of past artisans; (ii) require the owner/applicant to provide measured drawings, a land use history, photographs and other available documentation of the cultural heritage resource in its surrounding context; and (iii) support building relocation.
