Memorandum
Planning and Development Services
Re: Heritage Permit Application HPA-2024-03 – 23 Mark Street
To: Heritage Advisory Committee
From: Adam Robb, MPL, MCIP, RPP, CAHP
Manager, Policy Planning and Heritage
Date: June 10, 2024
Recommendation
1. That the memorandum regarding Heritage Permit Application HPA-2024-03 for 23
Mark Street be received; and
2. That the Heritage Advisory Committee comments regarding Heritage Permit
Application HPA-2024-03 for 23 Mark Street be received and referred to staff for
consideration and further action as appropriate.
Background
23 Mark Street is a Part V designated heritage property located within the Town’s
Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District. The primary dwelling is
representative of the Edwardian Foursquare architectural style and was built circa 1920.
The owner is proposing to add a rear garden suite to the property. 23 Mark Street
benefits from a deep rear yard and side driveway to accommodate the proposed garden
suite. The owner has confirmed to staff that there is no proposed work being done to
the primary dwelling itself, and that there are no trees proposed to be removed or
impacted by the proposal.
Analysis
Additional residential units, which include rear garden suites, are strongly encouraged
by provincial legislation and policy as a means of providing additional housing
opportunities. The proposed garden suite is a 1-storey building with an approximate
floor area of 700 square feet. There is approximately 37 metres of separation between
Page 23 of 33
Heritage Permit Application HPA-2024-03 – 23 Mark Street
June 10, 2024 Page 2 of 2
the primary dwelling and the proposed rear garden suite. All zoning requirements for the
proposed garden suite are met, but a detailed zoning review will also occur at the
building permit review stage. Some landscaping exists along the rear property
boundaries to also provide screening to abutting properties.
The proposed garden suite will feature board and batten siding and its placement at the
rear of the property is such that there is largely no impact to the primary dwelling,
character of the area, or view from the streetscape. The height of the proposed
structure is also modest, and as a product of its own time, the structure can be
considered sympathetic and complementary overall and in particular from a scale and
massing perspective. The Heritage Conservation District Plan specifically recognizes
Mark Street as an area that can support additions, subject to sensitive integration.
Staff are of the opinion that the proposed work generally meets the intent of the
Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan, and is appropriate given the
policy climate around implementing additional residential unit opportunities. Any
comments provided from the Heritage Advisory Committee can inform revisions to the
proposal as required and will be included in a future report to Council for a decision on
the Heritage Permit Application.

Memorandum
Planning and Development Services
Re: Establishment of a Heritage Grant Program
To: Heritage Advisory Committee
From: Adam Robb, MPL, MCIP, RPP, CAHP
Manager, Policy Planning and Heritage
Date: June 10, 2024
Recommendation
1. That the memorandum regarding Establishment of a Heritage Grant Program be
received; and
2. That the Heritage Advisory Committee comments regarding Establishment of a
Heritage Grant Program be received and referred to staff for consideration and
further action as appropriate.
Background
On May 28, 2024, Council passed a motion to establish a Heritage Grant Program. Staff
will be developing this program in consultation with the Heritage Advisory Committee
and are seeking initial comments.
Analysis
The Heritage Grant Program will be focused on providing financial assistance to
property owners for the preservation, restoration, and enhancement of designated
heritage properties in Town. The Program will include guidelines, outline eligibility
requirements, and establish clear policies and procedures for fund disbursements.
Staff are currently completing a municipal best practice review and anticipate drafting
and developing the Heritage Grant Program over the next several months. Staff will
continue to report back to the Heritage Advisory Committee through the development of
the Program, but want to receive initial input from the Committee on matters including
but not limited to:
Page 30 of 33
Establishment of a Heritage Grant Program
June 10, 2024 Page 2 of 2
Applicability of the Program (Part IV, Part V, priority geographic areas)
Suitability of the Program to leverage the designation of additional properties
Eligibility and types of work the Program can/should apply to (heritage elements
only, physical repairs, technical studies, other conservation work)
Disbursement policy and procedure (caps, percentages or price thresholds, fund-
matching, period of time to re-apply and receive grant funding)
Application submission and review process (review and approval by the Heritage
Advisory Committee and Council of the heritage permit application and grant)
Heritage Grant Agreement process (to stipulate terms and conditions, period of
time that work must be completed, inspection process, etc.)
The consultation and development of the Heritage Grant Program will be ongoing. Staff
are particularly looking to receive initial comments from the Heritage Advisory
Committee at this stage prior to proceeding with more detailed development of the
program. Once available, a draft Program will be brought back for further review, input
and discussion.
