Current Planning

All applications must be complete with the land use development application, owners affidavit/authorization, and materials required on the associated checklist by the deadline date to be scheduled for Planning Commission review. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Downtown Form-Based Code

The Downtown Clearfield Form-Based Code was created specifically with the intent to help the City achieve the goals of a vibrant mixed-use downtown.

Since the Form-Based Code is the direct implementing and regulatory ordinance developed to bring forth the vision of the Creating Downtown Clearfield small area plan, it is recommended that developers also review that plan.

Internal Accessory Dwelling Units (IADU’s)

An internal accessory dwelling unit has its own kitchen, living & sleeping area, full bathroom, and is within or attached to a single-family residence.

IADU’s may be allowed in single-family zones on lots greater than 6,000 square feet. The property must be owner occupied and the accessory unit is required to be registered with the Community Development Department. Additional requirements can be found in Clearfield City’s IADU ordinance.

Community Development Block Grant CDBG

Clearfield City is an entitlement community that receives federal funding to help meet the housing and community development needs of the city.
Grants are provided on an annual basis to entitled communities, which include Clearfield City. Funds received help carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward economic development, neighborhood revitalization, and improved community facilities and services.

Clearfield City, and all other entitlement communities, develop their own programs and funding priorities and consult with local residents before making final decisions. All CDBG activities must meet one of the following national objectives:

Benefit low- and moderate-income persons
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight
Meet certain community development needs having a particular urgency

Affordable Housing

Clearfield City may use CDBG grants to help moderate-income families purchase a home through the Down-Payment Assistance Program. To find out if funds for this program are available in the current program year please call the Davis Community Housing Authority at 801-939-9198.

Lead-Based Paint Hazard

Lead-Based Paint Hazards

Lead-Based Paint was banned for the use in houses in 1978, however, in houses built before 1978, there is a possibility that Lead-Based Paint is still present.  Dust from Lead-Based Paint is the leading cause of lead poising in children which is a serious and preventable environmental health problem for every community. In children, elevated lead exposure can cause decreased IQ, damage to the nervous system, and a range of other developmental and behavioral problems. 
In Clearfield City there are residences that were built before 1978 which makes it important for information regarding this type of paint to be made available to our residents.  The Utah Department of Environmental Quality provides information for families, contractors, and training regarding Lead-Based Paint.  Please click the following link to access this important information.  The bottom of the page includes handouts and resources to download.
