Plumsted City Zoning Code

§ 15-6.3

Farmland Preservation Areas.

[Ord. #1999-10, §§ 1, 2]
Property located within the Township of Plumsted which has been accepted into the New Jersey Farmland Preservation Program, and has been restricted from development by the regulation governing the Farmland Preservation Program, shall be permitted to subdivide a one acre single-family residential lot regardless of the zoning district. The subdivision must receive the approval of the Farmland Preservation Program.
a. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to permit farmland to be preserved by limiting the area of residential parcels to one (1) acre. In zoning districts, which require minimum lot size in excess of one (1) acre, a conditional permit may be issued if the one acre single-family residential lot is subdivided from farmland preservation property. By permitting the reduced area of single-family residential lots, the Township intends to promote the preservation of farmland. All conditional approvals for subdivisions under this section must receive the approval of the Farmland Preservation Program.
