Land Use Applications
Your development proposal may require review and approval by the Cottage Grove Historic Preservation Commission, the City Planning Commission or the City Council before it can proceed.
Common causes to need proposal reviews are as follows:
- New Developments
- Major Modifications to Existing Developments
- Tenant Infill
- Conditional Uses of Development
- New Uses of Development
- Anything Involving the Historic District
If you are not sure whether your project would be subject to such a review, we encourage you to contact the Development & Planning at (541) 942-3340 to arrange a time to discuss your project with the staff. This will allow us to better assist you through the process, and to minimize, to the extent possible, any delays.
Land use application forms, which may need to accompany your submittal, are available online or may be obtained from the Cottage Grove Public Works & Development Department office. Fees to cover the cost of processing your request need to accompany the application when submitted; for the fee schedule, click on the link below.
It is important to understand that all application fees are non-refundable after substantial processing has occurred, regardless of whether the application is approved, denied or expires. It is, therefore, strongly recommended that applicants review their plans with staff prior to submitting plans.
The Development & Planning Division will be happy to help you through the application process. Please feel free to contact the department if you have any questions regarding this process or if you have any questions regarding planning regulations.
