Your development proposal may require review and approval by the Cottage Grove Historic Landmarks Commission,

Planning Commission or City Council before it can proceed.

If you are not sure whether your project would be subject to such a review, we encourage you to contact the Community Development Department (541-942-3340) to arrange a time to discuss your project with 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 Community Development Department office. Fees to cover the cost of processing your request need to accompany the application when submitted; for the fee schedule, see 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 Community Development Department 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.

Unless noted otherwise, documents are in PDF format. PDF files must be viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
