Village Residential Zone
This zone seeks to acknowledge the higher densities existing within village areas of the Township. A wide range of housing types is encouraged, with densities exceeding those permitted elsewhere in the Township. This zone is located near existing village areas and/or 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 areas of potential public utility service areas. As a result, permitted densities and housing types reflect the use of these potential public utilities.
