AURORA | Around 230 residents from Aurora’s Heather Gardens neighborhood nearly filled city council chambers for the second time in three months Monday, Jan. 11, to comment on the city’s first transit-oriented residential community, which should be breaking ground in April, according to developers.Tom Parko, a resident with a group called the Heather Gardens Concerned Citizens Alliance, said he wanted the council to recognize a number of residents’ reservations about the project with a ‘no’ vote. “We are here to ask for a no vote,” he said. “Not on the right of development companies to make a profit, not on the right of Aurora to increase revenue through growth. We ask for this no vote to uphold the right of the individual citizen, the very concerned citizens who see the development having an extremely negative impact.” Slated for the northeast corner of South Anaheim Street and East Yale Avenue near the Regional Transportation District’s future Iliff Station light rail station, the 424-unit apartment complex is intended to attract young professionals and those looking to live near a light rail hub to the area.Council members voted 7-4 in support of the project. Council members Bob Roth, Barb Cleland, Angela Lawson and Mayor Steve Hogan voted against the measure.
