Low Density Residential District

The R-1 Low Density Residential District is designed to provide limited density of development in those areas of the Township where scenic landscapes, farmland and open space are characteristic. The district encourages agricultural uses, while allowing low density residential development. Design flexibility is provided through the opportunity for lot averaging. Such uses are consistent with existing development and are promoted in an effort to: Encourage the conservation of agricultural uses.; Allow residential uses in an orderly manner, consistent with Township growth patterns.; Eliminate the potential need for extensive public services, including sewer and water, which are currently unavailable at reasonable cost in many parts of the Township, and to limit the impact on the community as a whole associated with scattered independent community sewer and water systems.; Allow for adequate siting of individual on-lot sewage systems, replacement fields and individual wells on soils capable of supporting such infrastructure, as defined by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
