View zoning bylaw maps

Use the interactive map to find your property's zone, check allowed uses, and view heritage, floodplain, and ward overlays.

Find your zone

The Zoning Bylaw map shows how the City of Wrenford uses its land. You can use the interactive map to check the zone for your property, see what buildings or businesses are allowed, and view related overlays like heritage districts and floodplains.

How to use the map

  1. Open the interactive zoning map in a new window.
  2. Type your address or parcel number in the search bar, or click directly on the map.
  3. Use the layers panel on the left to turn on or off overlays, such as the Old Mill Heritage Conservation District, floodplain limits, or the Tamsin River corridor.
  4. Click a highlighted parcel to see its zone code, the zone name, and a link to the detailed regulations.

If you have trouble finding your property or reading the zone code, book a free Zoning Map Assistance Clinic or email [email protected].

Common zones in Wrenford

Wrenford uses a zone code system to keep regulations consistent across the city. Here are the zones you will see most often:

  • Residential (R) — Single-detached houses, duplexes, secondary suites, and laneway homes. Includes neighbourhoods like Riverside Flats, Northgate, and Wildrye.
  • Commercial (C) — Retail stores, offices, restaurants, and personal services. Found along Tamsin Street, Eastfield Road, and in the downtown grid.
  • Industrial (I) — Manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. Located in Industrial Park East and along the railway corridor.
  • Agricultural (A) — Farming, nurseries, and agritourism. Covers the outer concession roads and the Benchlands fringe.
  • Tamsin River Corridor (TR) — A special overlay zone that protects the river valley and limits building footprints near the water.
  • Old Mill Heritage District (OMHD) — A designated heritage conservation district around the 1834 grist mill. Facades and exterior changes require heritage review.

Ward boundaries and zoning

Wrenford is divided into six council wards. Zoning rules apply city-wide, but you can use the ward boundary layer to find out which councillor represents your area. Ward maps are updated after every municipal election.

Zoning does not work in isolation. The map links to other key planning tools you may need:

  • Official Plan summary — Shows where the City plans for future growth, intensification, and neighbourhood character.
  • Flood development guidelines — Maps the Tamsin Valley Conservation Authority floodplain. Development here needs extra review.
  • Tamsin River Trail System — Shows the 64 km multi-use trail network and trailheads.
  • Find land use bylaw maps — A full list of downloadable PDF maps, including zoning, ward boundaries, and heritage overlays.
