Heritage Conservation Districts (Part V)

<p>Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act allows municipalities to recognize and protect neighbourhoods, rural landscapes, main streets, or other areas of special cultural heritage value that have a cohesive sense of time and place. Designated heritage districts often enjoy a renewed cultural and economic vitality not only because district designation highlights their special values but also because they are protected from decay and the intrusion of incompatible structures.<br />Although each district is different, many share common characteristics. Heritage Conservation Districts may have:</p><ul><li>A concentration of heritage buildings, sites, structures, and cultural landscapes</li><li>Visual coherence through the use of building scale, mass, height, material, proportion, colour that convey a sense of time and place</li><li>A distinctive character that allows them to be distinguished from neighbouring areas</li></ul><div><strong>Accuracy</strong>: No known issues with the dataset.<br />&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Update Frequency</strong>: As required<br /><br /><strong>Contact</strong>:&nbsp;</div><div>For more information, please visit&nbsp;<a target='_blank' href='https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/heritage-conservation/heritage-properties#section-4ac3d805-1b55-4693-a255-a9e3f311966c' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Heritage Conservation Districts</a>&nbsp;or contact&nbsp;<a href='mailto:[e-mail]' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Heritage Planning</a>.</div>
