A
Agricultural Zone
The primary purpose of the Agricultural Zone is to promote the continued farming and to protect the Township’s viable agricultural economy by eliminating uses that are incompatible with farming. Limited rural residences are permitted that do not contemplate a full range of public services and amenities. These areas are not planned for the extension of public utilities within the foreseeable future and do not provide for increased densities when they are used. Intensive agricultural operations, rural businesses, and other varied uses are allowed, but reviewed via the special exception approval process to assure that they remain compatible within a rural setting.
