116 Emery Rd, Centre Hall, PA 16828

Residential District

This district is generally intended for application to rural development areas with limited water and sewer facilities. At the present time, public sewer facilities are not available and creation of such facilities is not contemplated for the near future. In some areas, public water facilities are available at the present time but extension of these facilities is not contemplated for the near future. The purpose of these regulations is to foster a quiet, low-density home environment. To this end, lot sizes are based upon the need to safeguard the health of the citizens by providing ample space to allow for the provision of on-lot sewage and water facilities where necessary; to maintain the semirural character of the area and to protect the health and welfare of the community. Industrial uses are prohibited in this district. Compatible commercial, public and semipublic uses such as small stores, schools, churches and recreation facilities are provided for and the continuation of agriculture is encouraged. In certain instances, multifamily or higher-density residential development may also be permitted as a conditional use.
