By-law 2026-002: A by-law to amend Zoning By-law 2016-040 (rezoning of property on Ambrel Lake Road)
This by-law changes the zoning map for a specific property on Ambrel Lake Road. The goal is to allow a multi-unit residential complex to be built there. The new zoning matches the directions in the City of Wrenford Official Plan, which encourages higher-density housing in areas close to transit and community services.
Who it applies to
The changes only affect the property owner and any developers or builders working on that site. It does not change the rules for your own property or your neighbours.
Key details
- The property is rezoned from its previous classification to a residential zone that permits multi-unit buildings.
- Any future development must still follow the Ontario Building Code and get the proper permits from the City.
- The by-law takes effect on January 26, 2026, the day Council approved it.
- It amends Zoning By-law 2016-040 to update the zoning map and supporting text.
