Mark arkha ham • Markham uses the Ontario Heritage Act to designate individual properties as well as entire areas known as heritage conservation districts. • Markham has three heritage districts (Thornhill, Markham Village and Unionville). ANA - June 13-2012 43
Mark arkha ham • Designation offers protection against inappropriate alterations and demolition and guides all new development affecting heritage properties and areas. • Using the design guidelines and policies in the heritage conservation district plans, design review of new development applications ensures compatibility with the heritage character of the area. ANA - June 13-2012 44
Mark arkha ham • To protect heritage properties, Markham is guided and informed by a number of heritage conservation policies and standards including those developed at the municipal, provincial and federal level. ANA - June 13-2012 45
Mark arkha ham A heritage conservation district is: • A collection or grouping of buildings, streets and open spaces that together are of cultural heritage value to our community. • An area with a special character with an integrity of its own that distinguishes it from other areas of the community • A defined boundary where all properties are protected from inappropriate changes through the use of policies and design guidelines. ANA - June 13-2012 46
Mark arkha ham The purpose of district designation is to guide change so that it contributes to the area’s unique character. The key objectives are: • To preserve heritage buildings- these features are fragile gifts from past generations. They are not a renewable resource. Once lost, they are gone forever. • To preserve original features - it is important to retain original or early building fabric such as windows, wall claddings and architectural elements. ANA - June 13-2012 47
Mark arkha ham The key objectives are (continued): • It is better to maintain than to repair • It is better to repair than to restore • It is better to restore than replace • To ensure new construction is complementary and respectful - this can range from an addition to a heritage building to a new building in the district. • To protect features in the public realm that make the area unique - this includes streetscapes, lot patterns and vegetation. ANA - June 13-2012 48
Mark arkha ham • Almost all of the historic urban area of Markham now designated as part of one of the Town's three heritage districts. • The design review of new development applications for compatibility with the character of the heritage districts is a major part of the heritage planning function.
