R-R
Residential Rural District
The intent of the Rural Residential Districts R-R is to: Conserve and enhance the existing rural, natural and historic character of Straban Township and its environs. Utilize open space design techniques where the natural and agrarian environment continues to dominate the landscape. Conserve natural features such as agricultural lands, woodlands and scenic views and vistas. Limit development near sensitive natural features such as steep slopes greater than 20 Percent, wetlands, wetland margins and one-hundred-year floodplain/flood hazard overlay area. Continue the use of on-lot wastewater and water systems or community systems for residential development that follows open space design criteria in appropriate areas outside the immediate sewer service area as defined by the Straban Township Act 537 Plan. Encourage compact residential clusters with direct visual and physical access to open space, estate lots, farms and conservation areas. Accommodate agriculture activities and agribusiness uses at appropriate locations. Place development on the most suitable areas for integration with the natural setting. Manage road frontage development by providing adequate distances between driveways and between buildings and roadways to maintain the rural character and the safety, capacity and condition of rural roadways. Implement the Land Use Plan of the Straban Township Comprehensive Plan. Promote cluster residential design for new residential developments.
