Farming District
The purpose of this zoning district is to protect and stabilize general agriculture as an ongoing economic activity in the West Manheim Township area by encouraging those land uses and activities which are agricultural in nature or act in direct support thereof. This district also seeks to discourage development from occurring on productive farmlands, including those designated as prime and those which are conducive to high crop yields. Also, this zoning district protects agriculture from incompatible uses that may also interfere with normal and customary agricultural practices within that zoning district. The Farming Zoning District also minimizes the amount of land consumed for nonagricultural purposes by encouraging nonagricultural development to occur on small parcels. The zoning district provides for the continuation of agribusiness operations within West Manheim Township by requiring design standards for agribusiness operations and by requiring setbacks between agribusiness and residential uses. Finally, this zoning district seeks to retain the core area of farmland in West Manheim Township that strongly contributes to the rural character of the Township.
