The intent and purpose of the Institutional District is to identify
and provide standards for development of land used or to be used for
colleges and universities. Historically, these uses have been located
in residential or agricultural districts, where the existing use,
dimensional and other standards do not apply to the distinct needs
of these uses. Expansions of, and other changes to, these institutional
facilities have required variances from existing requirements. The
Comprehensive Plan recommended that the Township establish an Institutional
District for such facilities that creates standards corresponding
to the specific needs of institutional uses.
A.
Principal uses permitted by right in the Institutional District are listed in the Table of Uses located in Article II, Table 1. Because colleges and universities contain multiple uses within a single development on one or more lots, more than one principal use may be contained on a lot in this district, and all such principal uses shall meet the bulk and area standards set forth in Table 3.
The bulk and area standards for the Institutional District are set forth in Article II, Tables 3 and 4.
