Additional information on the legislative history of the property can be found in the attached Property Information Sheet.
Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry currently owns two parcels and is in the process of acquiring a portion of the property at 1128 Jericho Road. A Final Plat is being proposed to create a two lot subdivision. Lot 1, being the Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry and Lot 2, being the existing residence at 1128 Jericho Road.

The Plan description includes setbacks variances in order to make both lots conforming.
A Final Plan is also being requested for Lot 1 to add improvements which will improve vehicle and pedestrian circulation in the site. The proposal consists of creating a second entrance off of Jericho Road on the west side of the building, constructing a parking lot at the southwestern corner of the property, and installing a sidewalk from the proposed parking lot to the entrance of the building. In addition, a fence is being proposed along the residential portion of the property for screening.
Pursuant to the City's Stormwater Ordinance the limited scope of the project does not kick in a detention requirement for the proposed improvements however, the Petitioner is proposing to add 3 rain gardens to help capture, detain, and filter the runoff from the proposed improvements.
