The township recognizes the benefits that traditional suburban development patterns have had in providing single-family detached housing opportunities in the township.  It is the intent and purpose of this district to: provide for moderate density residential development in areas that are environmentally suited to such development and which currently have or are planned for sewer or sewer and water service; provide for traditional suburban housing development opportunities characterized by smaller lot sizes than those required in the Conservation Residential (CR) District; and encourage the utilization of the Conservation Subdivision Design approach as detailed in Article 1600 of this chapter, to protect natural resources and provide for a variety of housing types that meets the needs of current and future residents of the township.
