In December 2022, Municipal Council removed a Heritage Alteration Permit, previously granted to the property owner, Southbridge Care Homes (Southbridge) for 65 Ward Street, which would have allowed demolition of the property including identified heritage elements. This administrative action followed the denial of a Zoning By-law Amendment Application for the property in February 2022, indicating that the Municipality was not supportive of the development moving forward as proposed.
In June 2023, a Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) was issued for 65 Ward Street, which overrides Council’s previous decision on the Zoning By-law Amendment application in order to facilitate the development of a new Long-Term Care facility. This matter is ongoing, read our latest update (November 2024). New developments on this will be posted at porthope.ca/news.
