>The only “developable” land for industrial is currently a turkey farm. The other two areas are currently in use as a junk yard and auto repair shop.

The MPC does not require that the turkey farm be zoned as anything other than its existing use. Nor, for that matter, does the MPC require that any part of the residential area be rezoned into something else. To the extent you continue to suggest that the only option re zoning is to rezone ag or any other zone into something else, I will challenge your reliance on the MPC to force that type of rezoning. Simply is not required in the MPC.

btw - your township could rezone (if not already zoned as such) the junk yard and/or auto repair shop for commercial/light industrial.

Sure. But you cannot exclude a zoning district, so somewhere in the twp has to allow for that zoning. For ex. you cannot say no trailer parks allowed in the township. There has to be some parcel with a zoning designation that allows it. This applies to everywhere except Philly because that is the only 1st class city.

There is a difference between allowing and excluding. A muni not having every zoning district under the sun does not mean it has excluded that district, just that it has planned according to current uses and known future plans.
