Single-Family Urban Residential District

The R-2, Urban Residential District is established to provide for development of single-family residences at a higher density than that provided in other areas of the Township. This district is designed to reflect the more urban-like environment upon which it borders and from which growth pressures may occur. It also will allow for the orderly and efficient extension of services, such as sanitary sewers and water into these areas. In pursuit of these purposes, an initial minimum lot size of 30,000 sq ft per residence is designated in the R-2 District. This will allow for use of approved onsite sanitary treatment systems and water supply, while guaranteeing public health and safety. Pressures for development within this district which cannot be accommodated by the minimum lot size will signal the need for sanitary sewers and water lines. Introduction of these services would allow a higher density of development, which would be permitted through amendment of this Ordinance once the practice of onsite disposal and water supply are no longer required.; The provisions of these districts will absorb the pressures of growth in such a way that development will occur in an orderly and efficient manner.
