1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Planning Services Department has 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 property known as
5311 Acres Road, Part Lot 4, Concession 5, former Township of Darlington
(Attachment 1). The structure is described in Attachments 2. The property has
been given Primary status in the Municipality of Clarington's LACAC inventory of
heritage resources as it has features worth preserving, and it has been recorded
as H046.
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
without the written consent of Council where such alteration is likely to affect the
reasons for designation. Council is required to consider any application for
alteration of a designated property in consultation with the LACAC.
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Staff have reviewed the property terms of its Official Plan and Zoning By-law
designation and have conducted a site inspection of the building. 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.
