WHEREAS Report ACS2025-SI-HIS-0010 (the “Report”) recommends the surplus declaration, waiver of certain sections in the City’s Disposal of Real Property Policy, and delegation of authority to transfer City-owned lands to proponents to build affordable and attainable housing; AND WHEREAS the description of the property in Document 1 ought to have included a small parcel (shown as Area B in Document 1 attached), abutting the larger parcel known municipally as 40 Beechcliffe Street (shown as Area A in Document 1 attached), since this smaller parcel is not required for City purposes, it will otherwise become non-viable and it will contribute to the feasibility of the overall property at that address; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Finance and Corporate Services Committee recommend amending the Report to replace Document 1 in the Report with Document 1 appended to this motion, in order to include the aforementioned City-owned parcel with the transfer of 40 Beechcliffe Street.
