It will be up to Common Council, during its current mandate, to determine what the right level of regulation is for heritage buildings in the city.
Chief City Planner Ken Forrest says there has been ongoing debate about this for some time.
Forrest also telling Councillors there will be reduced funding for heritage properties and that will necessitate changes being made in the programme.
Last year, 90 thousand dollars worth of heritage grants were handed out to property owners.
