OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
Directions: Take the UNCA Exit 25 off 19/23, Future I-26 for Hwy 251 Riverside Drive, go north for about 2.2 miles to the first bridge at Old Leicester Hwy. Take immediate right on Old Leicester Hwy and go up the hill. Turn right onto Olivette Rd, Turn Right to stay on Olivette Rd for .8 miles, then veer left to stay on Olivette Rd to 931 Olivette Rd, House on Right. Beginning of driveway is shared.
