Farmland Protection | Food Systems

The township’s zoning code addresses farmland protection through the application of sliding-scale zoning. Within the A-1 Agricultural District, detailed regulations for lot split and area requirements control minimum lot areas and limit the number of parcels, lots, or building sites created to support building development (§40-140). The code includes a detailed matrix of allowable building sites based on parcel size and describes township procedures in properly administering the schedule of lot splits.
