About By-law 2023-163
Purpose
This by-law supports the City's affordable housing strategy. It allows a new housing project at 88 Mill Street to build more units on the lot and to provide fewer parking spaces than usual. You will find that this change helps make housing more affordable for local families and workers.
What the by-law does
By-law 2023-163 updates the Zoning By-law 2016-040 for one specific property. It increases the allowed building density and lowers the required parking ratio for the affordable housing development at 88 Mill Street. The amendment stays in place once the development is approved under the City's housing plan.
Who it applies to
This change only affects the property at 88 Mill Street in the Old Mill neighbourhood. It does not change zoning rules for other parts of the City. If you are a developer or property owner looking to build affordable housing, you can review the standard zoning rules for your area through our zoning guide.
Fines and penalties
This by-law does not set new fines. Any future work on the site must still follow the main zoning rules. Violations of the Zoning By-law 2016-040 are handled through the normal by-law enforcement process under the Municipal Act, 2001.
When it takes effect
The by-law took effect when Council passed it on November 13, 2023. It was published on the City's website the following week.
Amendments and repeals
This by-law only amends Zoning By-law 2016-040. It does not repeal any existing by-laws.
