The Gloucester County Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend denying a rezoning request for 120 townhouses on nearly 30 acres between Tidemill Road and Guinea Road. The applicant sought to change seven parcels from single-family to multi-family zoning. Residents spoke out against the project, citing concerns over traffic, noise, environmental impacts, and threats to the area’s rural character. Planners noted potential spot zoning issues and recommended denial despite a request from the applicant to delay the vote for additional federal wetland review. The case will now go to the Board of Supervisors.
