Planning and Zoning Commission - April 8, 2026, Study Session

The Aurora Channel's Planning and Zoning Commission held a study session on April 8, 2026, to review an advisory site plan for the replacement of Lorettto Elementary School by Aurora Public Schools (APS). The discussion focused on the proposed new two-story school building, its location, site layout including parking and drop-off lanes, playgrounds, fencing, and pedestrian connectivity. Staff confirmed the project complies with zoning and development standards, and noted coordination with Buckley Space Force Base regarding accident potential zones. Traffic engineering comments require a revised traffic impact study and an engineering variance during civil plan submission. No public comments were received, and APS representatives addressed questions about playground space, lighting, and trail connectivity. No contract awards, budget allocations, or procurement decisions were discussed during this meeting.
