PROPOSED ZONING





Gateway “G-Zones”


G1 - Gateway Connector
The areas proposed for G1 “Gateway Connector” are currently located in R-1 and R-2 Zones, along important streets that run through residential neighborhoods toward the center of Hammonton. They are made up primarily of detached Single-Family Homes on larger lots. The new designation will preserve residential character, while allowing for some additional flexibility to improve walkability and connections to other “near town” residential neighborhoods.


G2 - Gateway Boulevard
Made up of the parcels that are currently zoned B-2 “Highway Business” along White Horse Pike between Fairview and Broadway. Revisions to the B-2 “Highway Business” may be made to create this district, or this smaller area might become a completely new zone that would preserve the current commercial character of the B-2 zone, but with added provisions to reflect specific community goals.


G3 - Gateway Crossroads
Comprising the blocks immediately surrounding the intersection of White Horse Pike and Bellevue, which are currently zoned B-2 “Highway Business.” This area would remain primarily for mid-sized retail and other commerce, but it would expand Building Type options to allow for new development that could be arranged in a way that would signal to those travelling along White Horse Pike that this is an important area, and would improve the connection to the Main Street area of Bellevue.


Downtown “D-Zones”

D1 – Near Town
Although made up primarily of detached Single-Family Homes on larger lots, the areas proposed for TC1 “Near Town” are currently located in R-1, R-2, B-1, and MD Zones. The new designation will simplify this, and will preserve the residential character of the blocks involved, while allowing for some additional flexibility to improve walkability and connections to other “near town” residential neighborhoods.


D2 – In Town, Railway
Made up of the parcels currently zoned MD between 13th and 11th, this district now includes a mix of residential, light industrial, and other commercial uses. This district/zone will expand options for commercial employment and downtown living near the center of town, and will include larger buildings that might host light-industrial, institutional, or residential uses.


D3 – In Town
Made up of the parcels currently zoned R-1, R-2, and B-1 that surround the Main Street blocks, this district now includes a mix of residential and commercial uses. The “In-Town” zone/district will expand options for retail growth in the center of Hammonton while supporting Main Street activities and improving options for downtown living.


D4 – “Main Street”
The historic and cultural heart of Hammonton, this zone/district will consist almost entirely of the mixed-use and commercial properties fronting Bellevue between 3rd and Washington. It should preserve the existing “Main Street” character, so Building Types should be limited.
