A
Agricultural District
Agricultural land is considered a special non-replaceable resource within the Township which, if lost, is not reclaimable once developed. Agricultural activities are an integral part of the culture and economy of Lykens Township and are therefore deserving of preservation. The Agricultural District is established to permit, protect, and encourage the continued use of land for agricultural purposes. This district is applied to those areas having productive soils, agriculture security protection, and predominantly agricultural uses as delineated in the Lykens Township Comprehensive Plan. The regulatory mechanisms for the Agricultural District are designed to: protect and stabilize the essential characteristics of agricultural areas; minimize conflicts resulting from the encroachment and mixing of residential and other incompatible uses that may be detrimental to agricultural enterprises; limit development that may require public facilities and roads in excess of those needed for agricultural purposes; and maintaining agricultural land parcels and farms at sizes which will permit efficient farm operation.
Permitted uses
