By-law 2025-063: A by-law to amend Zoning By-law 2016-040 (Water Street Commercial)
This by-law updates the Zoning By-law 2016-040 to rezone the property at 88 Water Street. The land changes from an Industrial zone to a Commercial zone. This shift allows small-scale retail shops and office spaces to operate at the site.
The rule applies directly to the property owner and any future tenants at 88 Water Street. The Commercial zone supports businesses that serve the public while keeping traffic and noise manageable. Since the property sits along the Tamsin River, the new zoning encourages low-impact retail and professional offices that fit the waterfront character. You do not need a new zoning application for this specific site, as the amendment already applies. However, any building or renovation work will still require the proper permits from the City's Planning and Development department.
If you plan to use the space, make sure your business activities match the permitted uses listed in the by-law. Operating a use that is not allowed under the new zoning can lead to fines under the Zoning By-law 2016-040. This by-law takes effect on the day it was passed by council, May 12, 2025. It amends the zoning map in Schedule A of Zoning By-law 2016-040. A certified copy of the full by-law is available for review at the Clerk's Office, Wrenford City Hall, 100 Mercer Street.
