Heritage Planning Staff’s review can influence the Heritage Permit Application which is then subject to recommendation from Heritage Kitchener. Heritage Kitchener’s recommendations are subject to Council’s approval.
A heritage impact assessment “is a study to determine if any cultural heritage resources … are impacted by a specific proposed development or site alteration. It can also demonstrate how the cultural heritage resource will be conserved in the context of redevelopment or site alteration. Mitigative or avoidance measures or alternative development or site alteration approaches may be recommended.” (http://www.mtc.gov.on.ca/en/publications/Heritage_Tool_Kit_Heritage_PPS_infoSheet.pdf)
