Open Space Residential District
The Open Space Residential District is intended to maintain the low-density residential district that preserves natural features and encourages nonhusbandry agricultural uses. Public sewer facilities may or may not be present, and the street system is not developed. Public water is available in some areas. The district is also intended to maintain low-density residential development in an area of the Township that is environmentally sensitive because of carbonate geology.
