Industrial/Agricultural District

In the event of development of more intensive uses in the Township, many of those uses could not be so confined by performance standards as to make them compatible with the general uses and development envisioned in the AR District. Therefore, certain uses are separated and provision made in the Commercial District. Certain other uses, however, are not only incompatible with the uses provided in the AR District, but are also incompatible with the uses provided in the Commercial District and tend to discourage the concentration and development of those uses, thus discouraging efficient use of land in the Commercial District, and eroding the tax base and economic value of Commercial District land. To address these incompatible uses, an additional zoning district, designated the Industrial/Agricultural IA-1 District, is herein created.; The IA District is intended to accommodate large office complexes, light industrial and wholesale and warehousing uses, contractor establishments and their respective accessory uses. These activities have certain characteristics in common, such as a requirement for good roads capable of accommodating truck traffic, a minimum of customer-generated traffic and an independence from surrounding uses. These uses have minimal impacts upon surrounding uses beyond the traffic generated and aesthetics.
