Agricultural Zone
The purpose of the Agricultural Zone is to protect and promote the continuation and preservation of agricultural activities in those areas most suitable for such activities. This zone also is intended to protect and stabilize the Township's agricultural economy by restricting uses that are incompatible with farming, while permitting agricultural support businesses, and to separate agricultural land uses from incompatible residential, commercial and industrial development.
