DescriptionThis report outlines fourteen STEPs that can aid East Amwell Township in continuing to realize its vision for the future through zoning, ordinances and policies that govern land use in the Township. These STEPs were identified after the Association distributed questionnaires to municipal officials and staff, reviewed the Master Plan, Land Management Ordinance, as well as other relevant ordinances, policies, and practices, and toured the municipality. Each STEP compares both the goal and current protection for the respective issue. Following each comparison are specific OPTIONs that are designed to provide guidance to the Township and identify specific measures that can be implemented to assist municipal officials in continuing to meet and exceed their goals for East Amwell.
