SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Approving a Revision to the Aurora University Plan Description and Master Plan for 45.7 acres on Property located west of Gladstone Avenue, east of and along the west frontage of Evanslawn Avenue between Marseillaise Place and Prairie Street, south of and along the north side of Marseillaise Place between Calumet Avenue and Gladstone, and north side of Prairie Street (Aurora University - 17-00950 / AU20/4-15.172-SU/PD/R - TV - Ward 4)

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. Some of the homes acquired have been demolished and have been devoted to open space until redevelopment occurs. The remaining acquired homes are being used for University offices, classrooms and a studio.

The Petitioner is requesting a revision to the Aurora University Special Use Planned Development and Master Plan.

The Petitioner is proposing a new expansion area which is approximately 5.7 acres...
