Development Applications

Residential Development Permit Applications

If a proposed use is listed as discretionary within the applicable land use district or a waiver beyond 10% of the requirement is requested, the application will be forwarded to the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) for consideration and the adjacent landowners will be notified of the public hearing by mail. 

In addition to applying for a residential development permit, applicants seeking to build new homes and/or garages in Cottonwood Estates are also required to complete and submit an Architectural Controls Form:

Non-Residential Development Permit Applications

If a proposed use is listed as discretionary within the applicable land use district or a waiver beyond 10 percent of the requirement is requested, the application will be forwarded to the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) for consideration and the adjacent landowners will be notified of the public hearing by mail.  

Safety Code Permit Applications

In addition to a development permit, some projects may require additional permits for safety codes. Superior Safety Codes issues and inspects building, electrical, plumbing and gas permits on behalf of the Town of Coaldale. For more information about these permits, please consult the Superior Safety Codes website.

Subdivision Applications

To apply for a subdivision, a completed application - including fees - must be submitted to the Planning and Development Department. Contacting a member of the Planning and Development team before making an application for subdivision is strongly recommended. This allows for a department representative to review and provide guidance on a potential subdivision and may help to avoid changes further along in the application process.
