86  Town of Aurora

 Goal 1: SUPPORT HOUSING FOR ALL LIFE STAGES AND
 INCOMES

 1.1 Support Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
 Update zoning regulations to permit ADUs by right (with basic design/size regulations), create a
 streamlined permitting process, and offer educational workshops for homeowners on how to develop an
 ADU on their property.

 1.2 Encourage “Missing Middle” Housing
 Amend zoning to allow more duplexes, triplexes, and courtyard homes near the Village core, hamlet
 centers, and along transportation corridors.

 1.3 Facilitate Senior Housing Development
 Identify and rezone targeted areas within or adjacent to the sewer district for senior living facilities; amend
 zoning or create an overlay district to encourage a range of independent and assisted-living options.

 1.4 Workforce Housing Near Commercial Centers
 Amend zoning regulations to designate overlay zones or provide incentives (e.g., streamlined approvals)
 for developments that include workforce housing close to the Village, hamlet centers, and existing
 employment corridors.
