Chapel Hill Town Council Approves Aura Development
The Chapel Hill Town Council voted 5-3 to approve the conditional zoning request for the Aura development at a special meeting Monday night.
This vote comes after the town council chose to delay its second reading of the Aura development last week – after the initial vote on June 16 did not achieve the two-third majority needed to approve or reject the proposal.
Now, the high-profile, mixed-use development project is set to be constructed on 16 acres of land at the corner of Estes Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Councilmembers Michael Parker, Amy Ryan, Tai Huynh, Jessica Anderson and Karen Stegman voted in favor of the project, while councilmembers Hongbin Gu, Allen Buansi and Chapel Hill Mayor Pam Hemminger voted against.
