Land Use Code Working Group Meeting March 26, 2026

The City of Lafayette Colorado held a Land Use Code Working Group meeting on March 26, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing and discussing updates to the city's land use and zoning codes, including the introduction of form-based codes. Key procurement-related discussions involved the potential rezoning of industrial areas to adaptable mixed-use districts, height and density regulations for residential and commercial buildings, and the integration of community amenities and civic spaces in new developments. The group debated building height limits, particularly in Oldtown and adaptable mixed-use zones, with considerations for architectural diversity and compatibility with existing neighborhoods. The meeting also covered procedural aspects of development approvals, such as regulating plans, subdivisions, and site plans, aiming to streamline development processes while maintaining public input. Staff highlighted ongoing community engagement efforts, including surveys and public comments, and outlined next steps toward code adoption with anticipated public hearings in May and June. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting addressed policy and regulatory changes that will influence future development and procurement activities in Lafayette.
