The Community Standards Bylaw has not been reviewed since 2012.  This Bylaw contemplates a number of housekeeping changes as well as changes to enforcement around complaints of noise and lights.

 

Current Community Standards Bylaw

Community Standards Bylaw No. 03-2012

Community Standards Bylaw Amendment 2015-05

Community Standards Bylaw Amendment 2015-30

Proposed Changes

▪  Definitions Section: For the most part, the changes are housekeeping.  One new change is the definition of mediation a tool for enforcement to use when resolving a dispute between residents.

▪  Violation and Tickets:  Deleted is the clause that references multiple convictions

▪  Discretionary enforcement clauses have been under the following sections:

  • Violation, Tickets and Penalties
  • Noise in Residential Districts
  • Noise in Non-Residential
  • Littering

▪   Any reference to “Major Event” has been replaced with “Special Event”

▪   The entire Permit for Major Events section has been removed.  A stand-alone procedural document is contemplated for Special Events.

▪  Noise/Lights: Any clause referencing noise/light measurement tools has been removed.

▪  Mediation as an enforcement tool has been added

▪  Manager of Community and Protective Services has been changed to Director of Enforcement Services

▪  Any reference to Enforcement Officer is replaced with Peace Officer

▪  Any reference to ‘Schedule B’ has been replaced with Fees and Charges Bylaw

▪  Any reference to ‘Park’ has been replaced with County Land (same definition)
