Any uses not specifically permitted in a zoning district established
by this chapter are hereby specifically prohibited from the district.
Should any section or provision of this chapter be declared
by the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the ordinance as a whole
nor the validity of any other section or provision of the ordinance
than the one so declared.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances heretofore adopted which
are inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this chapter are
hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
This chapter shall not take effect until final publication and
passage by the Borough Council of the Borough of Riverton.

Unless amended by the Zoning Board, all variances terminate
two years from the date of approval unless all work associated therewith
has been completed and all other conditions fulfilled.
Reviewing boards, as well as potential applicants, shall use
the Master Plan as a guide to create development or redevelopment,
which is consistent with the zone plan. Land use applications shall
never impair the zone plan, rather, when possible, they shall enhance
it.

chapter shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction,
such holdings shall not affect or impair any other sections, sentences,
