I support heritage conservation and preserving historical buildings.
The OHA is very outdated. It should concentrate on designated properties and heritage conservation districts.
Non-designated properties are not afforded much protection, as it only prevent demolition. Demolition is not defined. Is changing the facade considered demolition or alteration. Definitions and clearer direction are needed on what is and is not permitted.
The ability to have non-designated buildings should be eliminated, such that only 'designated' properties are protected. Designated properties have much stronger protection. Using the non-designation process creates an extra step that should be eliminated.
