It is the intent of the Preservation District P to provide a district in which only very limited uses and development will be permitted in order to preserve and protect floodplains, water use areas, steep slopes, and special natural, historic or recreational uses.
There are no specific area requirements for this district as they would apply to the particular type of land form (floodplain, steep slope) and therefore must each be decided on an individual basis.

(1) 
Recreation.
(2) 
Parks.

Open space.

Special exception. The following uses shall be permitted as a special exception when authorized by the Zoning Hearing Board, subject to Article XIII of this chapter:

A. 
Within any area designated as a Preservation District P, no construction or development shall take place unless the plans and specifications for such development have been presented to the Planning Commission for its review and approval.

The Planning Commission shall review and determine the adequacy of any plans for development in the P District within 60 days of their presentation to the Commission.
