Every property in the city is assigned a zoning designation, and new construction must meet the zoning designation's specific requirements.


The zoning of your property will determine your project's setbacks (i.e., distance from property lines) and height.  Find your property zone.

Once you know your property's zoning designation, refer to the Cottonwood Heights zoning ordinance to see specific zone setbacks and development requirements.

The illustrations on this page are meant to help you visualize some commonly asked questions about the zoning ordinance and clarify difficult-to-understand code provisions. As always, contact the community and economic development department if you have any questions.
