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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Gas station
General retail
Restaurant
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Manufacturing
Warehouse
Hotel / motel
