City Dismisses Complaint Against Illinois Clinic

Last week, the Aurora, IL Building Code Board of Appeals dismissed a complaint filed by anti-abortion groups against NAF member Planned Parenthood Aurora Health Center. The complaint asserted that multiple zoning and building codes were violated during the construction of the clinic and also challenged the final certificate of occupancy issued July 1. Prior to that, the clinic had been operating under a temporary certificate since it opened its doors in October 2007. Last month, the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals dismissed a similar complaint brought against the clinic by the same anti-abortion group.
