The provisions of this Part 3 shall be held to be minimum requirements. When this chapter imposes a greater restriction than other provisions of law, the provisions of this chapter shall control.
[Amended 1-19-2005 by Ord. No. 2004-17; 5-18-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-11]
A. 
All uses not expressly permitted in this chapter shall be prohibited.
B. 
Truck stops, parking lots and trailer lots prohibited. The Township Council finds that truck stops, parking lots and trailer lots are not compatible with the permitted land uses in the Township of Florence; these uses present unique and difficult safety issues relating to ingress to sites and egress from sites onto highways; issues related to traffic circulation on developed sites; interaction between trucks or oversized vehicles and automobiles, both on the site and at nearby intersections; and that truck stops, parking lots, and trailer lots are, therefore, prohibited primary uses in all zoning districts of the Township of Florence.

The public usable floor space shall not include areas set aside for kitchen or restroom facilities.
