Land Use Applications & Checklists

Process for submitting Land Use applications

1. Schedule a pre-application meeting

  • Prior to developing in the City of Lafayette, please schedule a pre-application meeting.   Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and Special Use Reviews require a pre-application conference. Pre-applications conferences are optional for other types of projects; however, we recommend meeting with staff prior to submitting most land use applications. The meeting will provide direction on necessary applications, plan sets, studies, the process, and general timeline.
  • Please complete the Pre-Application Conference Form

2. Complete an application

  • Complete an application for each type needed. For example, if you will need a Site Plan/Architectural Review and Special Use Review, you will need both applications.

3. Submit completed application form(s) and all supplemental information to planning@lafayetteco.gov.

  • All plan submittals must be done electronically. Paper copies will not be accepted.
  • All plans and supporting documents should be in separate PDF files with descriptive names.
  • Large plans can be submitted through Dropbox or a similar FTP site via a link from that site.
  • Submittals are accepted through the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month.
