Agriculture Preservation District
The purpose of the Agriculture Preservation District is to recognize and protect the area designated as a significant agricultural area by Bucks County in its Natural Resources Plan and the areas of the Township where farming predominates. Within the District, areas with Class I through Class III agricultural soils, as defined by the U.S. Department of Agricultural Soils Survey, shall be protected in accordance with the protection standards herein established. This District recognizes that farmland is being used to produce a product and has a positive purpose in utilizing the prime agricultural soils for the benefit of the entire community. The intent of the District is also to protect the area from interference by incompatible uses. Agricultural uses within this District may have associated with them activities incompatible with residential uses. These agricultural activities may have associated with them noise, odors, and other disturbances which are part of normal farming operations but can negatively impact nearby residences. Residents of the AP District are advised that noise, odors, dust, fumes, or other disturbances associated with agricultural practices shall not be regulated by township nuisance laws.
