It is the intention of this provision to maintain at least 20% of the site in open and/or landscaped area for the purpose of percolation, aesthetics, buffering, preservation of natural features and other ecological considerations. This provision shall apply to all uses in all districts in the Township, unless a more restrictive standard is imposed elsewhere.
