Transcription

1 Public Report To: From: Report Number: Development Services Committee Paul D. Ralph, BES, RPP, MCIP, Commissioner, Development Services DS Date of Report: December 2, 2015 Date of Meeting: December 7, 2015 Subject: File: Declaration of Certain City lands as Potentially Surplus D Purpose The purpose of this report is to recommend that 49 City-owned properties (referred to as City holdings ) be declared potentially surplus to municipal requirements. Attachment 1 provides detailed information on each City holding including an air photo, a parcel description, Official Plan and zoning information as well any other relevant historical information. 2.0 Recommendation That the Development Services Committee recommend to City Council: That, pursuant to Report DS dated December 2, 2015, the City-owned lands identified in Attachment 1 to Report DS , be declared as potentially surplus to municipal requirements; and that, given the localized nature of the matter, the newspaper advertising requirements of By-law be waived and that the notice inviting public comment on the declaration be mailed only to the abutting property owners and also to the Region of Durham if the property abuts a Regional road. 3.0 Executive Summary Not applicable. 4.0 Input From Other Sources The following have been consulted in the preparation of this report: Legal Services Operations Services Revenue and Taxation Services 38

2 Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS Meeting Date: December 7, 2015 Page Analysis 5.1 Background City staff have reviewed a number of City owned properties to determine if they are required to be retained for a municipal purpose. As a result of that review staff recommend that a number of City holdings should be declared as potentially surplus to municipal requirements (see Attachment 1). 5.2 Declaring City Land Potentially Surplus and Surplus: General Procedures Before the City can dispose of any land, Council must declare the land surplus to municipal requirements. The City s Real Estate Disposition By-law (By-law ) and best practices set out the following process for declaring a City holding surplus to municipal requirements: Interested parties may approach the City from time to time with a request to purchase City land that has not been declared surplus to municipal requirements or the City may initiate the process itself; Requests are typically presented to the Development Services Committee for direction; In most cases, the Development Services Committee refers the request to staff for a report; The Development Services Department prepare an open session staff report to the Development Services Committee that includes a recommendation on whether the City lands should be declared potentially surplus; If Council determines that the City land might not be required for municipal purposes it deems the City land potentially surplus in open session; Staff place an ad in the two local newspapers inviting the public to provide comments on the fact that the City land has been declared potentially surplus; The Development Services Department prepares an open session staff report outlining any public comments received in response to the ads and providing a recommendation on whether the City land should be formally declared surplus to municipal requirements and disposed of; and Council makes a decision on whether to declare the City lands surplus and initiate a disposal process. If Council deems it appropriate, based on site specific circumstances or the localized nature of a matter, to adjust the procedures set out above and included in By-law , it may do so by resolution. The disposal of City land, however, cannot occur unless the land has been formally declared surplus by Council resolution in open session. 39

3 Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS Meeting Date: December 7, 2015 Page 3 It is recommended that the City s holdings (see Attachment 1) be declared potentially surplus to municipal requirements for the following key reasons: They are not required for any identified core City purpose (any required City road widenings and easements would be retained by the City); Their disposition would reduce City maintenance of certain sites; Their disposition would reduce risk for the City; and The possible sale of some of the properties will provide funds to the City. In this particular case, given the localized nature of the City s holdings, it is recommended that the requirement for ads in the local newspapers be waived and that notice regarding any potentially surplus declaration be mailed only to the abutting property owners and the Region of Durham if abutting a Regional road for comment. 5.3 Disposal of City Lands Deemed Surplus In the event Council ultimately and formally declares a City holding surplus, the Development Services Department would prepare a report for the Development Services Committee and Council that sets out a recommended disposal strategy for each surplus City-owned land at the appropriate time. This disposal strategy would address such matters as: Responsibilities (e.g. staff lead vs. a real estate agent/broker, etc.) The most appropriate method of disposal (e.g. direct sale, tender, requests for proposals, land exchange, lot addition, etc.) The manner in which the sale price would be determined (e.g. one appraisal, more than one appraisal, letter of opinion of value, etc.) The best way to avoid or mitigate risk (e.g. City does environmental studies/geotechnical studies/archaeological studies vs. sells as is where is, etc.) Once Council approves a disposal strategy, the Development Services Department would execute it and report to the Development Services Committee and Council as appropriate. 5.4 Go Forward Plan Based on the foregoing, the recommended go forward plan for the City holdings in Attachment 1 of this Report is as follows: Council declares the City holdings as potentially surplus to municipal requirements; Staff undertakes a focused circulation of the declaration for public comment for the lands declared as potentially surplus; Staff reports back on any public comments with a recommendation on whether to formally declare the City holdings as surplus; and 40

4 Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS Meeting Date: December 7, 2015 Page 4 In the event that City holdings are declared surplus, staff provides Council with a disposal strategy for approval, and then executes the strategy and reports back as required. 6.0 Financial Implications It is anticipated that costs (e.g. mailing costs) associated with the recommended go forward plan for the City holdings will be incorporated into 2016 Development Services operating budget. 7.0 Relationship to the Oshawa Strategic Plan The Recommendation advances the Economic Prosperity and Financial Stewardship and Accountable Leadership goals of the Oshawa Strategic Plan.
