The City Council of Aurora recognizes that past practices such as redlining and discriminatory lending have led to generational inequity for communities of color and minorities.  It is important to acknowledge the role of the City’s land use regulations in affirmatively helping to address those inequities.  The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) provides a baseline set of land use and zoning regulations and it is important for the City to complete the Affordable Housing Study to affirmatively address the historic inequities.  It is the intent of the City to develop a comprehensive affordable housing policy to complement the UDO.
