By-law 2025-168: A by-law to amend Zoning By-law 2016-040 (zoning amendment for a property on 42 Mercer Street)
This by-law updates the zoning rules for the property at 42 Mercer Street. It allows a mixed-use development on the lot, meaning the building can house both commercial businesses and residential apartments. The change supports the City's 2026–2035 strategic plan for community growth by adding housing near downtown services and transit routes.
The amendment modifies Zoning By-law 2016-040. It reclassifies the specific lot to permit higher density building and mixed-use operations. This helps downtown revitalization goals while keeping development compatible with neighbouring properties.
This by-law applies directly to the owner at 42 Mercer Street, any future developers who purchase the lot, and City staff who review building and development permits. It does not introduce new fines or penalties. If the property rules are not followed, standard zoning penalties under By-law 2016-040 still apply.
The by-law takes effect immediately on the day it was passed, November 24, 2025. It amends only Zoning By-law 2016-040 and does not repeal any other legislation. A certified copy of the full by-law is available for review at the Clerk's Office in Wrenford City Hall, or you can request a copy by calling 519-555-0100.
