    Given the subject site is not located within a heritage conservation district, zoned architecturally sensitive (A-S), nor a registered heritage property there are no requirements as part of the Municipality's Development Agreement approval process for the applicant to conduct a heritage assessment with regard to the historical significance of the property as part of the ongoing planning application.
