R-7
Small Lot Single-Family Residential District
The purpose of the R-7 Residential District is to provide reasonable standards to encourage the orderly expansion of and continued investment in small-lot single-family residential development in sections of the Township with moderate sloping land; encourage opportunities for older residents to age in place; encourage architecturally attractive building facades and landscaping; prevent the overcrowding of the land; to limit activities of a commercial or industrial nature and any activities not compatible with residential development; and to otherwise create conditions conducive to carrying out the purposes of this chapter.
