It is hereby declared to be the intent of the LDR District to
establish reasonable standards to provide for a mix of residential
and limited commercial and office uses. Furthermore, it is the intent
of the article to:
A.
Preserve the quiet and uncongested neighborhoods that currently exist
in Abbottstown's single-family residential areas.
B.
Exclude incompatible commercial, industrial, and high-density residential
uses from locating in lower-density residential neighborhoods.
C.
Provide for single-family detached residential neighborhoods within
walking distance of amenities such as schools, churches, social clubs,
and shopping opportunities in the mixed-use area of the historic core
of Abbottstown.
D.
Encourage the use of innovative residential design techniques, such
as cluster development or village development, which may result in
the retention of open space resources and/or development of Borough
extensions that exhibit village character.
E.
Encourage residential development at a density sufficient to allow
for the efficient provision of public water and sewer service.
