R100
Residential District
The purpose of this section is to recognize the existing pattern of detached dwellings, to preserve environmentally critical areas as identified in the adopted master plan and the natural resources inventory, and to allow the township to provide a variety of housing, including lower income housing in the identified areas. The selection of dwelling unit types in the R-5 District should provide a balance of housing choices attractive to all income and age segments of the community as part of the township's fair share of the regional housing needs. The criteria are intended to provide flexibility in the design of developments to aid in reducing housing costs, encouraging lower income housing, allowing construction to avoid environmentally critical areas, and removing residences from busy highways and other potential nuisances created by noise and visual blight.
