A.
Pinelands Villages. It is the intent of this chapter to encourage
infill within the boundaries of existing discrete developed areas

with the established village character shall be encouraged, providing
they are environmentally acceptable and further providing they will
limit their ultimate potential for growth to the immediate Pinelands
Village area.
B.
Pinelands Village-Industrial Zone. It is the further intent of this
chapter to protect and preserve the Township's existing industrial
base and to accommodate future growth and expansion within the Pinelands
Village-Industrial Zone if found to be compatible with both the established
Pinelands Villages character and the environment. In addition to standards
and requirements to protect the environment, it is the intent of this
article to retain and preserve the compatible rural lifestyle of the
neighboring residents and property owners by adopting appropriate
bulk requirements and standards of performance.
