Whether you're an experienced gardener or simply dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle, this property is ready to enjoy from day one. A spacious front porch overlooks the gardens, while the backyard offers room for pets, play, or expanding your homestead with additional raised beds, chickens (current chickens can stay!), and other hobbies.

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.
