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.

Location Information
Directions: GPS does not take you all the way to the home. Once you turn onto Morgan Cove Road drive all the way to the end of the road till it forks. Then take the lefthand fork, then veer right at my arrow sign. You can follow my signs the rest of the way. The home will be your next sharp right.
