Residential Zone

This zone seeks to accommodate the higher density needs of the Township as well as the need and desire for moderate density housing for age-restricted development. A wide range of housing types are encouraged with densities exceeding those permitted elsewhere in the Township. Portions of this zone are located near existing multifamily developments and major transportation routes. Certain civic and residential related uses have also been allowed to enhance convenient access to this higher concentration of residents. This zone coincides with expected sewer utility service areas; however, the actual availability of these services is likely to occur at different times and in different areas. As a result, permitted densities and housing types have been adjusted according to the availability of these public utilities. All detached units that are proposed without the use of both public utilities will be required to be situated to one side of a wider lot so that future in-fill development potentials can be protected until public utilities become available. Cluster developments have been permitted by conditional use, with density bonuses, to encourage this preferred development pattern. The Village Overlay Zone (See see section 340-23.) applies a comprehensive set of optional design standards that can be applied to lands within the R-2 Zone. Finally, this zone provides for age-restricted development by conditional use, provided that such development meets certain criteria.
