The applicant proposes to construct a 50-storey building consisting of a 9-storey podium and a 41-storey tower at 308-314 Jarvis Street and 225 Mutual Street. The proposal contains 590 units, five of which are townhouse units fronting onto Mutual Street. Five levels of below grade parking are proposed. The heritage property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and is protected by a Heritage Easement Agreement. It is proposed that the rear section and basement foundation of the existing heritage house be demolished and the home moved to allow construction of a below grade garage and then relocated to the south on the same lot. Heritage staff have evaluated the proposal and do not support the proposed
movement of the heritage building as it would constitute an unnecessary negative impact on a valuable heritage resource.

The proposal represents over-development of the site and would have a negative impact on another significant heritage resource, Allan Gardens, which is a significant cultural heritage landscape that is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proposed building does not transition to the neighborhood designation, creating unsupportable shadow and over look issues.
