The city of Aurora is looking to force annex an unincorporated pocket of about 40 acres on the far West Side to stop a proposed solar energy farm there.

City officials have said the proposal for a solar farm goes against the city’s comprehensive plan that has long held that area to be estate-type, residential use.

Alex Alexandrou, Aurora’s chief management officer, said the Zoning Board recommending the plan despite the city’s protest is “unlike” what the county has done in the past.That remedy, according to city officials, is for the city to force annex the property into the city. The lone vote against protesting the solar farm was Ald. John Laesch, at large, who said he thought it was a good location for the solar farm. He appeared before the county Zoning Board to voice his support for the project, which angered some of his fellow aldermen.
