Agricultural

The primary purpose of this zone is to promote the continuation and preservation of agricultural activities in those areas most suitable for such activities. Areas contained within the zone have been specifically identified as possessing valuable and nonrenewable natural and cultural resources. This zone also intends to protect and stabilize the Township's viable agricultural economy by eliminating uses that are incompatible with farming, but permitting limited agricultural support businesses. Consequently, 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. This zone limits the total number of subdivisions and the maximum lot sizes of nonagricultural uses so as to avoid the creation of farmettes which reduce the productivity of the Township's agricultural economy. This zone is also intended to be a sending area for the transfer of development rights. Finally, the provisions of this zone have been specifically formulated to further the objectives of the Municipalities Planning Code which provides that local zoning ordinances shall be designed to preserve prime agriculture and farmland considering topography, soil type and classification and present use.
