The Lafayette City Council unanimously approved the first step for an annexation petition Tuesday for land on the southwest corner of U.S. 287 and Arapahoe Road. The developer Kensington Development Group submitted the annexation petition on behalf of the property owner, Tebo Partnership. Filing an annexation petition is the first step a developer must make to get a property incorporated into a municipality’s boundaries. Kensington had to provide proof that more than 50% of landowners on the property signed the petition, and there is currently only one landowner.
