Aurora Parking Lot Sustainable Design Standard

The Aurora parking lot sustainable design standard maintains that landscaped islands with raised curbs should define parking aisles, access drives, and pedestrian areas. Sustainable strategies, such as bioswales, permeable paving for stormwater management, and extensive tree and plant use, should be implemented to reduce the urban heat island effect whenever feasible.
