Aurora is an inland city on the Fox River with no coastal development regulations. Fox River corridor properties are subject to floodplain regulations and stormwater management requirements. No coastal commission applies.
Aurora is an inland city with no ocean coastline, so coastal development regulations do not apply. However, the Fox River running through the city center creates riverfront development considerations. Properties along the Fox River are subject to FEMA floodplain regulations, stormwater management requirements, and erosion control standards. The Kane County Stormwater Management Commission provides additional oversight for development near waterways. Riverfront properties may face additional setback requirements. The city's downtown revitalization includes Fox River corridor planning.
Floodplain development without permit: stop-work order. Erosion discharge: IEPA penalties.
