By-law 2024-158: A by-law to amend Zoning By-law 2016-040 (rezoning of property at 45 Ambrel Lake Road)
This by-law amends the Zoning By-law 2016-040 to update the official map and zone designation for the land at 45 Ambrel Lake Road. The goal is to create the right legal framework for a new residential project. Under this amendment, the property is rezoned to permit the construction of 150 new rental housing units. This change supports the City's goal of adding affordable and middle-income housing in areas with strong transit and community services.
The amendment updates the zone map and introduces specific rules for site design, building height, setbacks, and parking to ensure the new development fits with the surrounding neighbourhood. Developers must follow all applicable building codes, environmental standards, and the City's Official Plan before breaking ground.
This by-law applies directly to the property owner and any future developers seeking to build on this site. It does not change the rules for neighbouring properties. There are no new fines created by this by-law. Any future violations of the updated zoning rules will be handled under the standard enforcement provisions already in place.
The by-law took effect on December 12, 2024, thirty days after Council passed it. It replaces the previous zoning designation for this specific parcel with the new multi-unit residential zone. A certified copy of the full by-law text is available for review at the City Clerk's office at Wrenford City Hall, 100 Mercer Street, or you can request a copy through our Freedom of Information service.
