The keeping of animals as permitted by this title shall not be restricted or prohibited in any manner by neighborhood organizations, homeowners associations, or private citizens in specific neighborhoods and subdivisions through the use and implementation of conditions, covenants, and restrictions (C.C.andR's) or other types of restrictive legal documents entered into after March 1, 2003. Such practices undermine the City's ability to “provide for the keeping of animals in all new residential developments either on the subject property or on neighboring parcels”. (See the Lindon City Community Vision Statement as found in the Lindon City General Plan). Neighborhood organizations and/or homeowners associations which have adopted and implemented conditions, covenants, and restrictions or other types of restrictive legal documents which restrict the right to possess, keep, and maintain animals as permitted by this Title are strongly encouraged to reconsider such C.C.andR's and/or other restrictive documents and bring them into compliance with this provision. (Ord. 2012-16, amended, 2012; Ord. 2003-4, adopted, 2003)
