5172 Bauer Rd, Hudsonville, MI 49426

Low Density Residential District

This District is composed chiefly of single-family homes and farms, together with compatible nonresidential uses. This District is primarily intended to preserve the rural residential character of the designated areas of the township, while encouraging the preservation of farm uses. This District recognizes that much of the land in the District may eventually be converted from farm and vacant fields to residential use. This district is intended to allow rural residential development while encouraging the preservation of large tracts of land for farming and conservation. Where land is to be developed for residential purposes, the desire of residents to retain the rural character of the community dictate the use of clustered development to preserve natural features. Development should generally be clustered away from main roads to preserve rural character. These features can be further preserved through clustered open space development. Clustered open space development is also intended to buffer rural residential uses for agriculture. This District is further intended to implement the Blendon Township Master Plan for areas designated as Rural/Agricultural Preservation.
