The Property is required to expand parkland in the area through the expansion of the John McKenzie Parkette (the "Project"). The area surrounding the John McKenzie Parkette is designated as an area of parkland need within the Parkland Strategy, taking into account low parkland provision, but also high growth and a higher percentage of low-income households. This report relates to the second stage of the expropriation process. During the first stage and in accordance with the Expropriations Act, Notices of Application for Approval to Expropriate were served on all applicable "registered owners", who had 30 days to request an inquiry into whether the proposed taking is fair, sound, and reasonably necessary. No requests were received within the 30 day period ending on January 24, 2022 and City Council may now approve the expropriation by this Stage 2 report. If authorized, the Expropriation Plans will be registered and associated notices served. Statutory Offers of Compensation must be served prior to the City taking possession of the expropriated properties.
