Origin

(April 4, 2023) Report from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management

Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek authority for the City of Toronto (the "City") to declare surplus City-owned parcels of land and water located at Ontario Place as described in Attachment 1 (the "City Property") with the intended manner of disposal to be by way of a land exchange with His Majesty the King in right of Ontario (the "Province"). City Council authority for the proposed land exchange will be sought in a separate report in the next reporting cycle, subject to City Council approval of this report.

 

As per Toronto Municipal Code, s. 213-1.3, it is necessary to declare surplus the City Property before proceeding with the land exchange. Under Toronto Municipal Code, s. 213-1.6, authority to declare City property surplus has been delegated to the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services unless the local Councillor requests the matter to be determined through the appropriate standing committee, which is the case in this instance.
