By-law 2024-093: A by-law to amend Zoning By-law 2016-040 (rezoning of property at 45 Mercer Street)
This by-law changes the zoning rules for the property at 45 Mercer Street in the Old Mill neighbourhood. It was passed by Council on July 8, 2024, at the regular Council meeting on that date.
What it does
The amendment updates the Zoning By-law 2016-040 to allow the construction of 68 supportive housing units on the site. The new zoning category also permits on-site service offices and common areas to support residents. This change aligns the property with the City's housing strategy and supports the development of affordable, accessible homes.
Who it applies to
This by-law applies to the specific parcel at 45 Mercer Street. If you are a future developer or owner working on this site, you must follow the new zoning rules, including building height, setback, and parking requirements outlined in the official plan and zoning by-law.
Fines and enforcement
Violating zoning rules can result in fines under the Planning Act, 2001. The City's By-law Enforcement officers monitor compliance. If you build without approval or ignore zoning limits, you may face penalties or be required to stop work.
When it takes effect
The by-law took effect on the day it was passed, July 8, 2024, once it received the necessary municipal approvals and was registered at the Ontario Land Registry.
What it amends
This by-law amends the Zoning By-law 2016-040 only for the property at 45 Mercer Street. It does not repeal any existing by-laws.
