Rural Zone
The primary purpose of this zone is to promote a continuation of the rural character of the area, characterized by a mixture of agricultural and sparsely developed residential uses. In addition, other small-scale nonresidential uses have developed. This Zone will continue these development trends but will install additional protection for agricultural uses and rural residences from the impacts of other nonresidential uses. These areas are not likely to be served by public sewer or water facilities within the foreseeable future; therefore, larger lot sizes are indicated. This Zone has been deliberately located away from large areas of productive farmlands; nonetheless, extensive areas have been placed within this zone owing to the Township's overall rural flavor. Because of the vastness of these areas, some steep slopes are included. For this reason, specific lot design requirements have been imposed on steeply sloped development sites. Finally, several intensive land uses have been allowed within this zone by conditional use. These uses have been targeted for the rural landscape as a means of protecting the Township's sensitive environmental features, its prime agricultural soils and its other more densely populated portions. Numerous protective criteria are attached to these uses to ensure their compatibility within this and other zones within the Township. Residential uses are limited, and any future inhabitants in this zone must be willing to accept the impacts associated with normal farming practices and related businesses.
