Building and Renovating

Development and Planning serves as a one-stop-shop for businesses and individuals involved in a variety of activities including developing property, zoning regulations, annexations, abandonments and historic property designations. The department also handles all permitting of construction projects, alcohol sales and bar cards, and the opening or relocating of businesses.  Development and Planning works with the compliance of zoning and building regulations as well as condemnation of unsafe structures and is responsible for the implementation of Lafayette’s comprehensive plan, PlanLafayette.
