EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Heritage Permit Application HPA-2023-IV-007 proposes alterations to the existing A.R. Goudie Eventide Home at 369 Frederick Street as well as a four-storey addition to the existing building. The existing building is in the process of being designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The alterations include shortening of the entrance canopy of the existing building, retention of the northern curtain wall and relocating a portion of that wall as an interior feature, as well as the modification of the stair tower curtain wall on the west side of the building. These alterations are necessary in to order to facilitate the construction of the addition so that this site can continue to function as a long-term care home. In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning staff note that the proposed alterations will not have an adverse negative impact on the heritage attributes of the building and that the addition will be compatible but distinguishable from the existing building. 

The subject lands are approximately 1.70 hectares (4.21 acres) in area with approximately 98 metres of frontage along Frederick Street to the north.  The proposal is to sever part of the Frederick Street frontage from the area of the existing facility to facilitate the construction of a retirement home on the severed portion.  Access to the A. R. Goudie Eventide Home and its proposed addition will be from Frederick on the new P-shaped lot.
