This is the first stage of the expropriation process. If the application for approval to expropriate is authorized by City Council, in its capacity as the Approving Authority under the Expropriations Act, City staff will work with Waterfront Toronto to serve and publish a Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate on all registered owners as set out in the Waterfront Expropriation Protocol. Registered owners are entitled to request a hearing in accordance with the Expropriations Act. If no inquiry is requested, City Council may approve the expropriation through a subsequent Stage 2 report. At that time, staff will report to City Council with further details on the anticipated costs, based on appraisals. If City Council adopts the Stage 2 report in its capacity as the Approving Authority, City staff will work with Waterfront Toronto to prepare and register an Expropriation Plan and to serve the Notices of Expropriation on the appropriate parties, in accordance with the Waterfront Expropriation Protocol. Statutory offers of compensation must be served before the City can take possession of the expropriated Property.
