(A) Land varies greatly in the amount of development that it can naturally support. Some land, such as flood prone and very steeply-sloped land, should remain completely in open space. Other lands are suitable for moderate development, while some lands are able to support intense uses.
(B) Development in the borough should only be allowed in a manner which carefully respects the natural features of the land. Environmentally sensitive lands should be preserved in open space to maintain environmental balances. Guidelines on how important natural features can be protected are in the following sections.
