Legal Provisions:

During the Walkerville HCD Study, legal processes are only triggered if Council decides to optionally designate a HCD Study Area Bylaw for up to one year through the passage of a bylaw. Such a bylaw may prohibit or set limitations to alterations, erection, demolition or removal of buildings or structures in the HCD Study Area. However, any person who objects could appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. This risks delay in completion of the study. The Tribunal will hold a public hearing to hear the objections and will decide on the acceptability of the study area bylaw and any limitations adopted under the bylaw. It is anticipated that there could be objections and appeals to such a Bylaw. Also, the Bylaw is only effective for up to one year and after expiry, the same area cannot be designated under another HCD Study Area Bylaw for up to three years. The selected heritage consultant will be requested to provide recommendations on the need and appropriateness of such a Bylaw, and timing of its use.

Alternatively, the HCD Study can take place and the research, investigation, and public consultation can be conducted as needed, without the optional passage of the bylaws or potential risk of appeals to the Study stages. This would hopefully allow unresolved issues to be addressed during Study stages. Refer to Appendix B for Extracts from the Ontario Heritage Act and City of Windsor Official Plan.

Official Plan:

The area currently delineated by City of Windsor Official Plan as the Walkerville Heritage Area has a north boundary of Riverside Drive East, east on Walker Road, south on Ottawa Street, and west on Lincoln Road. Official Plan policy 9.3.3.3 requires each HCD to meet criteria that the area will be comprised of buildings, structures or parts thereof, and sites or landscapes that would meet individual criteria for designation,
