Project Overview

The City of Lafayette has received an application from Bestall Collaborative Ltd., requesting annexation and zoning of approximately 34.4 acres of land located at 8600 Baseline Road (generally located southeast of the intersection of Nyland Way and Baseline Road). The applicant's long-term vision for the property includes a mix of housing types, including affordable and attainable housing, housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), aging-in-place opportunities, and market-rate housing. However, no subdivision, site development, or other development applications have been submitted as part of the annexation and zoning request.

Project Details

  • Applicant: Jack Bestall, Bestall Collaborative Ltd.
  • Location: 8600 Baseline Road

Next Steps

On November 2, 2026, City Council will hold a public meeting to determine whether the annexation petition for 8600 Baseline Rd substantially complies with statutory requirements. While public input occurs at the beginning of the meeting, it cannot be used for the purpose of determining substantial compliance. However, public testimony received at the potential public hearing on December 15, 2026, to determine the applicant's eligibility will be considered and made part of the public record.

Date: Monday, November 2, 2026
Time: 5:30 pm
Location: Council Chambers, City Hall
Address: 1290 S. Public Road, Lafayette, CO 80026

Steps of the Annexation Process:

1. Substantial Compliance (public meeting) – On November 2, 2026, the City Council will determine whether the petition is in the required form, includes the statutory allegations, and is signed by owners representing more than 50% of the landowners and property area, excluding certain public ownership.

2. Eligibility (public hearing) – After four consecutive weeks of newspaper notice, the City will determine whether the petition's assertions are supported and the property is eligible under the Act. The public hearing must occur 30–60 days after the Substantial Compliance Hearing; staff proposes December 15, 2026. Public testimony will be accepted for this hearing and be made part of the public record.

3. Annexation and Zoning – If the property is eligible, the Planning Commission and City Council may hold annexation and zoning hearings. Unlike Steps 1 and 2, this final step decides whether to annex the property and, if approved, establishes its initial zoning.
