Agricultural District

The Agriculture AG District is hereby established to protect areas of the Township for agricultural production, distribution, and accessory uses and provide reasonable land uses of a rural, agricultural character for those lands in the Township presently rural and undeveloped.This District is intended to maintain and preserve large contiguous blocks of agricultural land, both by original designation and by future annexation of smaller holdings to existing areas. The District is intended to be applied to areas that have soils well suited to agricultural activities, and to large contiguous parcels of land currently or historically used for agricultural or private rural outdoor recreational purposes. It is further intended that the Agricultural District shall serve as the primary district for conservation of off-site open space under the Planned Development PD option.Accordingly, it is the intent of this District to promote agricultural and private outdoor recreational uses as an important component of the local economy, and to allow for a limited range of agriculture oriented tourism, educational, and commercial uses, subject to standards designed to minimize impacts on the Township’s rural character.
