The Aurora Project consists of 2.886ha of land between 105th Avenue and 106th Avenue and within the area bounded by 104th Street and 101st Street. The area is currently part of Precinct C in the Central McDougal Community DC1, which was approved in December of 2005 by City Council. This submission supports an amendment to that DC1 regulation primarily to allow fewer, taller towers on the property based on the basic principal that a large consolidated parcel of land such as this allows the master planning of towers so that the same residential densities can be achieved while improving ground level open space and reducing the shadow density to the surrounding community.
