Residential District
Residential Districts are designed primarily to provide for the special needs of the large rural and undeveloped areas of the Township and to encourage the preservation of ample and appropriate areas for continued agriculture, recreation, conservation and other open space purposes. Accordingly, the district incorporates a density standard which, among other things; provides for farm and low density dwelling use, with area regulations geared to the nature of the permitted uses and the likelihood of the absence of public water, sanitary sewer or other services; prevents the haphazard mixing of commercial, industrial, and residential use; discourages premature subdivision and isolated development, and facilitates the conservation of forest, water and other natural resources, thereby reducing demands on the water table and minimizing erosion.
