In conformance with the Municipalities Planning Code, particularly Section 604, Zoning Purposes, subsections 1, 3 and 5 and Section 605, Classifications, subsections 2 and 3, the purposes of this article, among others, are as follows: To promote continued agricultural, greenway land, and conservation uses while also permitting additional residential development at an overall low density that will help to maintain the rural character of the district; To provide for a choice of lot sizes and a range of net building densities to accommodate a variety of age and income groups and residential preferences so that the community's population diversity may be maintained; To implement adopted Township policies to conserve a variety of irreplaceable and environmentally sensitive resource lands as set forth in the West Vincent Township Open Space and Recreation Plan, including provisions for reasonable incentives to create a greenway system for the benefit of present and future residents; To provide standards reflecting the varying circumstances and interests of individual landowners and the individual characteristics of their properties; and To implement adopted Township land use, transportation and community policies, as identified in the Township's Comprehensive Plan; In order to achieve these purposes, this article provides for flexibility in designing new residential subdivisions by allowing five optional forms of development from which the landowner shall be required to select one or, if permitted by the Township, more than one, referred to as tiers, as summarized below. These design options shall not apply to lot line changes for parcels in existence prior to January 2, 1999, or created by any approved subdivision plan filed with the Township prior to January 2, 1999.
