[Ord. 2005-9, 12/29/2005, § 701; as amended by
Ord. 2011-26, 10/17/2011, § 6]
The R-2 Residential District is intended to enable the development
of stable, well designed residential neighborhoods with a variety
of dwelling types. Allowable gross densities seek to assure compatibility
with the existing pattern of development and to achieve a transition
between the Township's agricultural lands and its more urban
landscapes. Efficient use of land and protection of open space and
natural features are facilitated through the retained open space development
mechanism.
