A little bit of yesteryear and a lot of opportunity awaits anyone willing to put in some sweat equity with this picturesque parcel! Nestled in a pastoral setting, this early 2000s modular home is awaiting your updates. It has a great view over the hills and with some repairs it will make a great home. Not enough opportunity? Take a look at the rustic 1940s home also on site. A wooden barn completes the scene on over two acres. It's time to own a piece of history amidst the countryside. There's work to be done here for sure, but you may be up to the task!

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.
