Village of Clive Council has passed Community Standards Bylaw #578-26 following third and final reading.
What does this mean for residents?
Responsible Pet Ownership – Updated regulations for dogs and cats, including licensing requirements and limits on the number of animals permitted per residential property.
Property Maintenance – Clear expectations for maintaining yards, managing vegetation, and addressing unsightly properties.
Urban Hens – Residents may apply for a licence to keep up to six hens, subject to specific requirements. Roosters are not permitted.
Snow & Ice Removal – Property owners and occupants are responsible for clearing snow and ice from adjacent sidewalks within 48 hours of accumulation.
Noise Regulations – Rules addressing excessive or nuisance noise, including permitted hours for construction-related activities.
Neighbourhood Standards – Regulations addressing nuisances and activities that may affect neighbouring properties and public spaces.
What about enforcement?
The Village will continue its complaint-based approach to bylaw enforcement, with an emphasis on education and voluntary compliance wherever possible. Where a violation is identified, the goal is to work toward resolving the concern before pursuing further enforcement measures, when appropriate.
