Sylvan Lake updating Community Standards Bylaw
Updates to Sylvan Lake’s Community Standards Bylaw were given first reading this week by town council.
The changes, if given full approval, would set out new rules for live entertainment on unlicensed commercial patios and address the maintenance of trees and shrubs on Town land adjacent to private property.
First, no live entertainment is permitted on an unlicensed commercial patio from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Monday to Sunday. The same can be said for 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. from Thursday to Saturday and on Sunday when the Monday is holiday, but the special times for later in the week only apply from June 1 to September 30.
As well, unlicensed commercial patios may not be used as a dance floor by patrons, nor can it be utilized for adult entertainment.
