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 to the requirements of the zoning district, 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.

  • The zoning ordinance is contained within the Township’s Code of Ordinances.
  • A hardcopy or CD version of the ordinance can be purchased in the planning department for $20 and the map for $5.
