B
Residential District
The B Residential Districts are composed of certain medium density residential areas of the Township representing one dwelling, plus certain open areas where similar residential development appears likely to occur. The regulations for these districts are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the districts and promote and encourage a suitable environment for family life. To these ends, development is limited to medium density concentration, permitting primarily single- and two-family dwellings.
