By-laws passed in 2024

On October 28, 2024, Wrenford City Council passed By-law 2024-135. This by-law amends the Zoning By-law 2016-040 to grant a part-lot control exemption for a minor building addition at 45 Tamsin Street.

Site plan control is a process that ensures new buildings and changes to existing properties fit well with the surrounding area. It covers things like parking layouts, landscaping, building materials, and access to sidewalks. By granting an exemption, the City has decided that the proposed work at 45 Tamsin Street is small enough that it does not need a full site plan review. This helps speed up the approval process for minor upgrades.

Who this applies to

This by-law applies specifically to the property located at 45 Tamsin Street. If you are planning a project at a different address, you will need to check the Zoning By-law 2016-040 or speak with a planner to see if site plan control or a minor variance applies to your work.

Fines and enforcement

Even though this property is exempt from the full site plan review process, you must still follow the Ontario Building Code and all other applicable by-laws. Working without the required permits or ignoring the terms of the exemption can lead to fines. Under the Zoning By-law 2016-040, violations can result in penalties of up to $50,000.00 for a first offence.

Effective date and certified copies

This by-law took effect immediately after it was passed by Council on October 28, 2024. It amends the existing Zoning By-law 2016-040 and does not repeal any previous legislation. A certified copy of the by-law is available for public review at the Clerk's Office at Wrenford City Hall, 100 Mercer Street. You can also request a copy through the City's Freedom of Information process.
