Zoning Ordinance / Map
The Zoning Ordinance contains various regulations relative
to land development within the Township and is crafted to
regulate the intensity of land development, to ensure
compatibility among land uses and to promote orderly and
consistent development practices. A companion to the zoning
ordinance, the zoning map, divides the Township into
residential and non-residential zoning districts. Each
district lists permitted and special uses.
In addition, the zoning ordinance contains various
regulations to promote health, safety and enhance the visual
characteristics of the community such as landscaping, woodland
replacement, lighting, driveway spacing, setbacks and parking
requirements.
If you have questions regarding specific zoning
regulations, please contact the Planning Department.
Sign Ordinance
The sign ordinance establishes standards regarding size,
placement, construction materials and illumination for signs
along roadway corridors within the township. The sign district
map is available by clicking the link below. The intent of the
sign standards is to provide advertising opportunities while
at the same time creating signs that are consistent and
harmonious with their surroundings.
The sign ordinance is contained within the
Township’s Code
of Ordinances.
