Some parts of the forest area are more suitable for development than others, provided that such development is subject to strict environmental performance standards. The division of this area into two forest zones is intended to provide a transition between developed areas and outlying permitted average density in close proximity to the more developed areas and maintaining the low-density character of the outlying areas

Principal permitted uses on the land and in buildings in the PF8 and PF25 Districts shall be as follows:

The use is necessary to achieve recreational use of a particular element of the existing Pinelands environment; and

The use is environmentally and aesthetically compatible with the character of the Pinelands Forest Area and the characteristics of the particular basin in which the use is to be located, taking into consideration the proportion of cleared and developed land, ambient water quality, ecologically sensitive areas and unique resources and will not unduly burden public services.
