Aurora commercial properties can include broad parking fields, truck routes and mixed customer-and-service circulation. A defensible scope divides the pavement by use and condition instead of applying one treatment to every square foot.
Large-site pavement lifecycle planning
Compare repair, overlay and reconstruction by zone. Sound low-load stalls may remain serviceable while drive lanes, loading approaches or drainage depressions require deeper work and different material assumptions.
Plan the work around the operating property
Sequence high-load and customer-facing areas separately. Keep the proposal clear about temporary access, truck-turning limits, fresh-pavement protection and when final striping will restore the intended circulation.
Questions the Aurora scope should answer
- Divide the property into truck, customer, employee and service zones.
- Record recurring failures instead of pricing only the visible opening.
- Confirm pavement and base assumptions for each load category.
- Coordinate drainage repairs before the final surface elevation is set.
- Build the phasing plan around peak operating periods.

Confirm the project jurisdiction before construction
The property address and exact work determine whether municipal, county, accessibility, drainage, right-of-way or other review applies. Do not assume that calling work “maintenance” settles the permit question. Start with Kane County Stormwater Management Ordinance, then confirm the current project-specific path with the municipality or authority having jurisdiction.

Paving permits and parking-plan review in Aurora
Aurora states that work in the public right-of-way requires a permit and that exterior work at Historic/Foxwalk properties needs permit review. Identify those conditions before classifying private parking-lot maintenance.
We handle permits and inspections
Windy City Paving handles the entire permit process for your project: determining whether permits are required, preparing and submitting the applications, and obtaining the required permits. We coordinate and attend all required inspections with city or village officials, including inspections during construction and final inspections at project completion. We will identify any owner signatures, existing surveys or association approvals needed and guide you through those items.
For commercial and shared multifamily properties within Aurora municipal limits. “Confirm scope” means the cited guidance does not establish an exemption.
| Work planned | Permit or review requirement | What we prepare with you |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt patching and pothole repair | The City’s permit overview does not state a commercial patch-size exemption. [1] | Identify repair dimensions and whether the work touches public property. |
| Milling, resurfacing and full repaving | Have Building and Permits classify the lot replacement and any special-area review. [1] [2] | Show surface removal, grading and the retained lot footprint. |
| Concrete, curbs and sidewalks | Public right-of-way work requires a permit. Confirm the application for private concrete separately. [1] | Mark public sidewalks/approaches and private walks or slabs. |
| Sealcoating and existing striping | Coating and identical repainting are not expressly resolved by the general permit overview. [1] | State whether the site is in a Historic/Foxwalk review area. |
| Changed commercial or multifamily parking layout | Submit the changed parking arrangement for the applicable City review. [1] [2] | Show existing/proposed stalls, access and any pavement expansion. |
Before pricing the work
If the work responds to a City code case, include that case in the application description. Aurora specifically requests this connection, which helps the reviewer relate the paving scope to the outstanding correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a commercial paving proposal in Aurora define?
It should define existing-condition findings, treatment boundaries, depth and material assumptions, access, closures, temporary routes, connected drainage or concrete work, final markings, exclusions and reopening conditions.
Can the property remain open during the work?
That depends on entrances, available staging, deliveries, emergency and accessible routes, curing or cooling time and the amount of pavement that can close safely. The proposal should include a site-specific phase plan rather than a generic promise.
