Notice Of Passing Of By-Law To Designate A Portion Of Melville Street In Dundas As A Heritage Conservation District Study Area

TAKE NOTICE that, on September 28, 2022, the Council of the City of Hamilton passed By-law Number 22-258 to designate a portion of Melville Street in Dundas, from Sydenham Street to Wellington Street North, as a Heritage Conservation District Study Area under Section 40.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

Explanation of Purpose and Effect of By-law

The By-law prohibits alterations to, and the erection, demolition and removal of buildings or structures on, properties in the identified study area for a period of one year. The purpose of the limitations on changes to properties in the study area is to allow time for the City to conduct a review of the cultural heritage value of the area and determine if it should be considered for heritage district designation under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, and to protect the potential heritage value of the area in the interim. The By-law does include exemptions and outlines the types of works that would be permitted while the By-law is in effect.

Any person who objects to the By-law may, within thirty days after date of publication of the Notice of Passing of the By-law in the Hamilton Spectator, appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal by giving the clerk of the municipality a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection, accompanied by the fee charged by the Tribunal, in accordance with Section 40.1(4) of the Ontario Heritage Act.
