Residential District

It is the intent of the R-2 District, as outlined in the East Bradford Township Comprehensive Plan, to provide for low-density residential development in areas of the Township which are not generally characterized by steep slopes or floodplains, but which nevertheless contain soils conditional for on-lot sewage disposal systems and variable groundwater yields; to encourage continued agricultural, open space and conservation uses; and to encourage and promote phased development throughout the Township by permitting low-density residential uses in the R-2 District until other areas of the Township more accessible to adequate services and transportation are fully developed in medium- and high-density residential uses. The R-2 District establishes maximum density standards which: Provide for low-density residential uses on a lot-by-lot basis as well as an open space development option that encourages the preservation of open space ancillary to such development; and; Promote the conservation of surface water and groundwater supplies, soils for on-lot sewage disposal systems and the control of soil erosion and flooding.
