The Village Residential District is intended to provide compatible
standards governing existing villages, also known as "coal patch towns,"
as well as other older, densely developed neighborhoods. Most of these
villages were built long before zoning requirements were put in place
in the Township. Because the lots are very small (often about 1/10
of an acre), they do not conform to typical suburban zoning requirements.
The Village Residential District creates lot sizes, setbacks and other
requirements that are more generally consistent with the scale, character
and layout of lots in these villages.
The bulk and area standards for the Village Residential District are set forth in Article
II, Tables 3 and 4.
