A
Agricultural District
The A Agricultural districts provide areas for agricultural operations and low intensity land uses. These districts are composed primarily of unsubdivided lands that are vacant or are in agricultural use with some dwellings and accessory uses. The A districts are suitable for large tracts of open space, agricultural areas, woodlands, and fields. They are designed to promote the protection of the existing natural environment and to preserve, enhance and stabilize the essential characteristics and economical value of these areas as agricultural lands. The A districts may be used to encourage development in and near the core areas of the township by limiting the development densities of parcels less suited for intensive development. The A districts may also be used to protect natural resources and environmentally sensitive areas by preserving these areas for low intensity land uses.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Housing-Multiple units
