R-1
Residential District
It is the intent of the R-1 Residential District to establish reasonable standards that control and promote the continuation of agricultural uses and limited single-family detached dwelling unit development in Douglass Township. The district will direct low-density residential uses into areas of Douglass Township that are not now served and are not intended to be served by future extension of public sewer and water facilities.
