RP
Single Family Rural Preservation District
The purposes of the RP Single-Family Rural Preservation District are To promote the retention of existing agricultural lands and to support ongoing agricultural activities through a combination of land use policy, acquisition of development rights, creative development techniques and limitations on land use activities that interfere with continued farming; To retain the largely undeveloped and rural character which pervades western and southwestern East Brunswick in part by limiting the introduction of growth-inducing infrastructure; To provide land use management strategies which promote the conservation of sensitive natural resources and which limit the impact of future development of this area; To promote the conservation of open space through public acquisition, acquisition of less than fee interests and implementation of land use policies supportive of permanent preservation of open space areas; To support the objectives of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan including the retention of large contiguous areas of agriculture and open space and providing for development which respects the carrying capacity of land and water resources while also preserving unique and sensitive natural areas.
