Neighborhood Residential District

In accordance with the planning goals of the Honey Brook Township and Borough Multi-Municipal Comprehensive Plan and the purpose statements and community development objectives set forth in Article I of this Chapter, the NR—Neighborhood Residential District is established to accommodate primarily single-family detached and two-family dwellings on small and medium sized lots within the Township and Honey Brook Borough, where access to public facilities and services is available. The density for residential uses in this district is lower than that permitted in the Mixed Use Residential Zoning District. The regulations set forth herein are intended to achieve the following specific purposes: To provide primarily for single-family residential living opportunities where homes are located on individual lots; To accommodate residential subdivisions of larger tracts of land which can feasibly be served by public water and sewer systems, and with convenient access to public roads; To guide development in a manner that preserves the character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods; and; To permit complementary uses to single-family residential development, including no-impact and limited-impact home occupations, renewable energy systems, municipal uses, schools, churches, parks and recreation, trails, and open space.
