Consultation has concluded

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The proposed Community Standards Bylaw helps address unsightly premises. The purpose of the bylaw is to prevent unsightly premises from developing by outlining clear expectations and standards to citizens, and to provide an enforcement mechanism to address them when they occur.  

The proposed bylaw applies to properties in hamlets, subdivisions and other identified areas. The proposed bylaw does not apply to agricultural, farming, commercial or industrial lands.

The proposed bylaw was in response to public complaints about unsightly properties. Leduc County received 142 related complaints between 2010 and 2019. The majority of these complaints were for properties in hamlets or subdivisions. Landowners who are affected by nuisance properties often want our help to improve the situation; this bylaw helps us encourage compliance and enables us to take corrective measures when needed.

A public hearing on the proposed bylaw was held at the Leduc County regular Council meeting on May 11, 2021.


OUTCOME OF PUBLIC HEARING

The proposed bylaw was defeated by Council at the public hearing on May 11, 2021.
