(Atlantic) Wednesday evening, the Atlantic City Council approved the third and final reading of Vision Atlantic’s Camblin Hills Development zoning change from R-2 single-family to R-4 multifamily dwellings.
The new subdivision is located north of East 22nd Street, between Olive Streets and East 19th Street, on 49.089 acres of land, known as the Camblin Hills Development. The subdivision will provide 60 lots, currently 54 of which are intended for single-family lots, and a 300-capacity childcare center.
The Atlantic City Council’s approval explicitly allows for the construction of single-family, two-family, three-family, and four-family condominiums and townhomes. The single-family homes will be grouped in the smaller lots according to the plat map, and the multifamily lots will be built in groups in the larger ones. The project will also include ten tiny homes ranging from 450 to 800 square feet. The development project comprises three water retention basins, including one already in existence, and a recreation trail around the entire project.
The plan is to begin dirt work on the infrastructure this fall, with housing construction starting in the spring of 2025.
