Zoning
AP
Agricultural Preservation And Rural Residential District
It is the purpose of the AP, Agricultural Preservation and Rural Residential District, to foster the preservation of agriculture as an important economic activity in East Pikeland Township and to preserve viable agricultural land as an irreplaceable asset. Furthermore, it is the intent of the AP District to prevent the conflicts that can occur when residential development is allowed within areas of active agricultural operations and to permit certain compatible farm service uses and dwellings accessory to farm operations. It is also the intent of the AP District to permit single-family detached uses according to a predetermined formula so that important agricultural lands will not be reduced in area below the minimum size requirements for viable farming operations. Because other uses, although compatible with agricultural uses, may have the potential to cause conflicts with agricultural uses, such uses shall be permitted either as Conditional Uses or Special Exceptions and shall be subject to the general regulations and standards set forth in Article XVII.
