Land between Ocean Isles and the Contractor Warehouses on Route 9 is one step closer to transformation after Ocean Township officials approved a redevelopment plan that clears the way for a new, three-story self-storage facility known as Horizon Storage.
The Township’s Planning Board endorsed the Horizon Redevelopment Plan, formally establishing a “Horizon Redevelopment Overlay Zone” for properties identified as Block 241.11, Lots 12.04 and 12.05, totaling approximately 6.2 acres along the east side of Route 9, about 360 feet north of Seminole Avenue.
The parcels, currently vacant and assessed as Class 1 (vacant land), sit within the existing C-1 (General Commercial) zone. Township officials previously designated the broader C-1 district as an area in need of redevelopment. The newly adopted plan creates specific standards tailored to this project while maintaining the underlying commercial zoning.
Designating land as a redevelopment area allows the town to have more control over what is built there.
