Council denies annexation for proposed workforce housing at 1108 Chestnut Ferry Road
Summary
After a presentation on a proposed workforce housing development, the Camden City Council denied Ordinance #2026-009, which would have annexed property at 1108 Chestnut Ferry Road under the 100% annexation method and rezoned it to Commercial Mixed Use.
The Camden City Council on April 21 denied Ordinance #2026-009, a proposal to annex property located at 1108 Chestnut Ferry Road and to authorize annexation under the 100% annexation method.
Sarah K. Niemann of Niemann Consulting presented the workforce housing proposal and requested annexation and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) designation for the parcels at 1108 Chestnut Ferry Road. After discussion the council took no motion to adopt the ordinance; the minutes record that the council "unanimously denied" the proposed ordinance following the lack of a motion.
The minutes do not record detailed reasons for the denial nor a roll-call tally; council members discussed the proposal but the transcript records no substantive public comment on the annexation. The proposed rezoning and annexation would have enabled a workforce housing development on the site, but council members did not adopt the ordinance during the meeting.
The denial leaves the property outside city limits; proponents may return with revised plans or requests for annexation at a future meeting if they choose to pursue another approach.
