WR
Waterfront Recreation District
Generally, the Waterfront Recreation District promotes the continued use and future development of riverfront properties along the Susquehanna River in a manner consistent and harmonious with existing uses, thus retaining the rural recreational character of the area. Development and uses primarily oriented to providing a mixture of seasonal and year-round dwellings, public and semipublic recreational type uses, as well as a variety of associated commercial uses, are encouraged. As much of the land is located in the one hundred year floodplain, or steep slope river valley hills, each development proposal should be carefully scrutinized as to its impact on the area; therefore conservation measures, especially floodplain management and erosion and sediment control regulations, should be strictly enforced.
