§ 108-17 HC-RD Highway - Commercial - Research - Development District.
[Amended 9-25-1984]
A.
Purpose. The intent of this zone is to encourage highway-oriented commercial development and to provide an area in the Township where large industrial complexes may be developed. This area is located to take advantage of the excellent highway access afforded by Routes 94 and 206. The standards are intended to require maximum attention to proper site design, including the location of structures and parking areas, proper ingress and egress, architectural design, landscaping and the compatibility of any proposal with the natural foliage, soils, contours, drainage pattern and the need to avoid visual intrusions and performance nuisance upon adjacent residences and/or residential zones. It is intended that existing foliage and natural features be retained and enhanced in relation to the site as well as the surrounding area. In the case of industrial complexes, the development of an interior street system may be required in order to provide access to the building and assure proper ingress and egress with a minimum of interference with highway traffic flow.
