[Ord. 2005-9, 12/29/2005, § 801]
The R-3 Residential District provides opportunity for a variety
of types and densities of residential use, primarily through the retained
open space development process. The area is designed for the use of
community or public sewage facilities and central water service, where
available. Its location, adjacent and in close proximity to Baltimore
Pike, is intended to allow a transition in land use pattern and intensity
between the R-2 District and areas of commercial and industrial activity.
The district also reflects suitable access, compatible existing residential
development, and proximity to neighborhood commercial uses. Through
these provisions, it is the intent of the Township to recognize and
build upon existing settlement patterns.
