A. Purpose. The Airport district is intended to take advantage of the nearby regional and national transportation hubs and infrastructure, to expand employment opportunities created by the strategic location of these lands near the airports operating in or near Aurora, and to ensure that development is located and designed to be consistent with the continued efficient operation of those airports. Industry hubs and a variety of commercial, light manufacturing (e.g., assembly and technology centers), distribution uses (e.g., freight forwarders, warehousing/distribution), and research and development campuses are anticipated to be developed in this classification. Development is encouraged that will take advantage of the multi-modal transportation opportunities in this district. Limited and supporting retail and service uses are also allowed in this district, but are not intended to be regional draws or the driving force for economic development. Residential uses are not permitted in this district. Other uses permitted in this district are as shown in Table 3.2-1 (Permitted Use Table).

B. Cross-References to Other Applicable UDO Sections. All development and redevelopment must comply with all applicable sections of this UDO. A short summary of some of the key sections is shown below.
