Introductory Note: Ordinance 58-2 was the Township's original Zoning Ordinance. It and its amendments were superseded by Ordinance 71-1. Ord. 71-1 and its amendments were in turn superseded by Ord. 86-12. And Ord. 86-12 and its amendments were in turn superseded by Ord. 03-12. Even though superseded, these ordinances are listed here for reference because of the frequent need to determine the date after which a particular property was located in a specific district, and after which a specific use regulation was made applicable to a specific district.
