Aurora Real Estate Development: People, Principles, Processes
Through collaboration, we can
maximize benefits to everyone
that each project touches

Each city and county's
comprehensive general plan
sets forth that community's
goals, policies and programs
for land use and development

Through zoning ordinances,
cities and counties translate
their comprehensive general
plans into law

City and county ordinances guide and control the subdivision of land

The California Environmental Quality Act requires city and
county agencies to assess
each development project's environmental impact

The California Coastal Commission protects, conserves, restores and enhances the California coast

Gaining city or county approval
for a complex development
project is a multi-phase process

At community meetings with Aurora and at public hearings, you have the opportunity to shape the design of a project

Economic feasibility both
constrains and liberates the
design of a project.

Aurora holds its employees, consultants, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors and marketing representatives to the highest standards

How real-estate development projects are designed and built today will largely determine how we live, work and play in the future
