[Ord. No. 2004-15, § 1.]
Township committee has determined that a new zoning district,
to be designated R-HF-W, should be established in the township in
order to:
(a)
Retain as much of the lands within such zoning district in their
present condition as is practicable in order to preserve:
(1)
The wooded portion thereof, commonly known as the Institute
and Quaker Woods, because of their critical importance in the ecosystem
and for recreational use;
(2)
As much of the farm fields as is practicable in light of their
historic significance and the need to foster agricultural activities;
(3)
The Stony Brook floodplain for environmental purposes; and
(4)
The D&R Canal Park buffer in order to respect and protect
the quality of the park.
(5)
Preserve existing historic farm structures in their historic
setting including avenues of approach.
(b)
Effect such preservation goals by shifting development potential
from the areas preserved by mandating that development be clustered
in the portion of the tract most suitable therefor and with a density
consistent with a capacity of the circulation system.
[Ord. No. 2004-15, § 1.]
There is hereby established a Residential-Historic Farmland
(R-HF-W) Zoning District including subzones A through F, made up of
such land as is shown on the zoning map on file in the office of the
township clerk.
