In recognition of local, state and national policies toward preserving agricultural resources; and the fact that both the topography of the township and its various agricultural uses historically foster much of the area’s rural economic character and identity, the township hereby states its intent to preserve for agriculture, as much as possible, that land within its boundaries that is deemed to be prime agricultural soils, according to U.S. Soil Conservation Service criteria. Pursuant to this intent, a maximum density for non-agricultural dwellings is hereby established. In addition, controls and limitations shall also be imposed for all other non-agricultural uses.
(Ord. passed 7-12-2012, § 8.2)
