Yes. Clive appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Clive, city of, community 190488, carrying Community Rating System class 4, which is a premium discount for exceeding the program minimum.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Clive.
Is zoning published for Clive?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
