Open Space Residential District
The intent of the district is to preserve the low-density residential conservation district located along the top of the palisades of the Delaware River and to protect and preserve the viewsheds and rural character of this area in the form of conservation open space, parkland and/or golf courses. In addition, this district could function as the Township's principal open space and recreational area and would be linked through open space trails and recreation paths to the existing Township and county parks, schools and the Town Center. This district would also help reinforce the RC District along the Delaware River.
