When Elbow Park was developed, developers put restrictive covenants (RC) on some Elbow Park titles to ensure a consistent building scheme and to protect the character of Elbow Park. However, the majority of properties do not currently have one. Many neighbourhoods in addition to Elbow Park, have similar restrictive covenants, including Mount Royal, Britannia, Bel-Aire, Mayfair, University Heights, Briar Hill, Parkdale, Rutland Park and Richmond Knob Hill, to name but a few.
A restrictive covenant is an agreement between landowners in which one party "restricts" the use of its land for the benefit of the other participating landowners. A restrictive covenant can only be enforced through the courts. If you would like to register a restrictive covenant on your property, please email info@elbowpark.com. How do I find out if I have a restrictive covenant ? If you want to find out if you have an restrictive covenant on your title, please contact info@elbowpark.com if you would like our help. (Note that you can also do so at a registry or online at: https://alta.registries.gov.ab.ca/spinii/logon.aspx.) Why a restrictive covenant...the issue we are facing. On April 22, 2024 The City of Calgary will be voting on a proposal to eliminate existing single-family zoning and blanket upzone all residential parcels in the city. The problem is that builders could maximize land use and build 8-unit multiplexes on every 50-foot lot in our neighbourhood. How you can be part of the solution:
