It is the purpose of this district to provide opportunities for the
development and/or continuation of a range of industrial uses, including
those existing uses that have been in operation over a considerable
period of time. The district permits such uses when they are in compliance
with the performance standards contained in this Part. The district
requirements are intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare
of the Township residents, workers at such establishments, and visitors
to the Township.
2.
The district also permits agricultural and residential uses, with
the latter intended to reflect existing development within and adjacent
to the district. As such, residential uses are permitted on a limited
basis, with single-family detached dwellings upon land developments
of five or fewer lots being permitted as consistent with existing
development and more extensive developments and developments using
the retained open space option being permitted only by conditional
use to assure compatibility with existing and potential nonresidential
uses. Use of the retained open space development option is permitted
and encouraged.
