SUBJECT:
A Building, Zoning, and Economic Development Resolution Approving a Final Plan on Lot 1 of Aurora University 2nd Resubdivision located at 1433 Prairie Street for a Student Success Center (Aurora University - 19-0761 / AU20/3-19.132-Fpn - TV - Ward 4)

PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Aurora University, is requesting approval of a Final Plan for Lot 1 of Aurora University 2nd Resubdivision located at 1433 Prairie Street for a Student Success Center.

BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property currently includes Aurora University, a private, post-secondary institution of higher education with accredited Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral level programs. The Campus currently consists of approximately 40 acres and includes 18 major buildings, 7 parking lots and a football field/soccer field with bleachers. The University has acquired all but one property on the south side of Southlawn Place, which is currently a single-family dwelling with R-1 One-Family Dwelling District zoning. Most of the homes acquired have been demolished for redevelopment. The remaining acquired homes are being used for University offices, classrooms and a studio.

The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Final Plan. The details of the request include the demolition of the existing house and driveway and the construction of a 7,320 square foot Student Success Center. As part of the proposal, a structured detention system is being proposed along Prairie Street to fulfill the stormwater requirements.

The building elevation for the Student Success Center is a combination of stone and cedar siding. Landscaping is being implemented around the entire building.

DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the Final Plan petition and have sent comments back to the petitioner on those submittals. The petitioner has made the requested revisions to these documents and they now meet the applicable codes and ordinances.
