Resource Protection District
To protect areas consisting largely of natural features such as mature forest, steep slopes, scenic areas, wetlands, streams, floodplains and ponds including those identified in the latest version of the Bucks County Natural Resources Plan. Intensities are such as to insure that these resources are preserved, while providing for residential development with suitable sewage disposal. The land contained in this district is identified in the Durham Township Comprehensive Plan and the Bucks County Comprehensive Plan as those parts of the Township which contain important natural resource features and/or historic areas which have only a limited capacity for development. Wherever possible the growth of the Township and the County must respect these limitations. Good planning dictates that growth be channeled into those areas that can best accommodate it without damage to the environment or risking the health, safety and welfare of present and future generations.
