This layer represents the areas that have been identified for heritage conservation and formally protected under either the Municipal Planning Bylaw (i.e. Heritage Protection Overlay) or the National Heritage Resources Act (i.e. Heritage Areas). This layer also identifies those areas which have been identified for investigation for such formal protection and are designated as proposed Heritage Protection Overlay or proposed Heritage Areas.As a result of identifying areas for heritage conservation, the City is also identifying those areas where heritage value is low and where development can be encouraged with a minimal negative impact on the heritage qualities of a place. In order to facilitate the ease of doing business in these areas, the City is applying for exemptions in terms of S34 and S38 of the National Heritage Resources Act. These exemptions are accommodated within the National Heritage Resources Act and will contribute to reducing administrative burden. |
