Looking to get creative

[Esteban Ibarra]

I am looking to buy my first house, a single family and convert it to a possible non-conforming duplex. It has a large enough MIL suite with own kitchen, BA, BR, and own entrance but all under one meter. My question would be

1. If city of Aurora would allow this to be done and make it conforming? Across the street are townhomes that in total SF equal the SF of the subject property if not less.(submitted a land use inquiry & waiting for answer)

2. If I decided to purchase and end up separating into a duplex w/o city's approval, will I have to attain Aurora city rental license and/or will it raise any questions if a rental inspector comes inspect?

Thanks for the help.
