AIRPORT HAZARD
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Agricultural Preservation District
The purpose of this district is to protect agricultural land uses and farming operations from the intrusion of those land uses which tend to restrict or hinder such land uses and operations. This district is intended to clearly favor the continuation of rural land uses over the introduction of urban or suburban land uses. All normal agricultural land uses are permitted but other land uses are restricted. Public and community uses which complement the farm community are permitted. It is the Township’s intent to maintain this area for agricultural uses.
