New zoning code gets stamp of approval
The Aurora City Council recently unanimously
approved Aurora's new zoning and subdivision code, the Unified
Development Ordinance. The zoning code includes the regulations
and requirements needed to shape development and the built
environment as envisioned in the Aurora Places
comprehensive plan. It also merges previously separate
zoning code and subdivision code.
Highlights include allowances for urban
agriculture, gardening and food stands as new permitted land
uses; renewable energy projects in more zone districts; new
housing and neighborhood layout options to offer housing choices
for a range of incomes, needs and lifestyles; and an emphasis on
block size and connectivity to provide transportation options and
foster great neighborhoods that retain value over time.
To view the new code, visit AuroraGov.org/ZoningCodeUpdate.
Materials displayed at a recent public meeting provide a summary of the code's
highlights.
