TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Stephane Phifer, Planning and Zoning Director
DATE: April 7, 2014
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Amending Sections 10.4; 11.1; 11.2; 11.3 and 14.1-1 of the Aurora Zoning Ordinance.
PURPOSE:
Attached is an ordinance amending certain sections of the Aurora Zoning Ordinance to consolidate the governing provisions related to the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals into one location in the City's Code of Ordinances (Chapter 34, Article II and Chapter 34, Article IV respectively) and to revise Section 14.1-1 Penalties.
BACKGROUND:
The provisions and by-laws of the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals have not been amended since 1969 and 1989 respectively and were in need of modernizing and updating to better meet the needs of the City and the Commission and Board. The Penalties Section needed to be updated to reflect current state statue.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance will reference the new City Code of Ordinances locations for these two recommending bodies, and the penalties section will reflect the current statute maximum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for fines.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Planning and Zoning Division would anticipate that this amendment to the Zoning Ordinance will have a positive impact on the City's health, welfare, overall tax base and viability.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission, on April 16, 2014, recommended approval of the Ordinance Amending Sections 110.4; 11.1; 11.2; 11.3 and 14.1-1 of the Aurora Zoning Ordinance.
