The Planning
and Zoning Division of the Public Works Department is dedicated
to guiding the development of the City of Cortez. It is our
intent to ensure that essential services are provided for
continued and sustainable development to meet the future needs
of growth by future generations. You can contact the Planning
Division at (970) 565-7320.
The primary
day-to-day functions of the division include the review of
public and private development projects and development of
short- and long-range planning goals, development review, and
inspection of projects. The division administers the
Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Code, develops area and
topical plans, performs policy analysis, generates data reports,
and performs program administration (sign regulations, housing,
historic preservation, design review, etc.).
The Planning
and Zoning division works closely with the Cortez Mainstreet
Association, Chamber of Commerce, and other citizen groups to
incorporate thoughts and ideas into a seamless pattern of
development, expansion, and sustainability.
The following is a
list of Planning and Zoning brochures which the City has developed to
inform the public of general requirements.
All of these brochures require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
We want your project to be as successful as possible and will work to help avoid potential problems that could cost you time and money. The City has adopted and is enforcing the following codes:
-
2006 International Building Code
- 2006 International Energy Code
- 2006 International Fire Code
- 2006 International Residential Code
- 2006 International Property Maintenance Code
- 2006 International Fuel Gas Code
- 2006 International Mechanical Code
- 2006 International Plumbing Code
- 2006 Land Use Code, as amended through December 2006
The following permit application forms are used by the Planning and
Zoning Division for review of any projects proposed to be done within
the City limits. Hopefully, they will help you plan your project. These
forms are provided for your convenience; however, each one will require
the review and approval of the Planning and Zoning Division PRIOR TO THE START OF ANY CONSTRUCTION.
Note: Some applications are marked as "sample forms". These are only examples for your information. Original forms must be picked up at the City Service Center. Please call the Public Works Department at (970) 565-7320 for more information.
All of these forms require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
