When the Atlantic City Council holds their regular session Wednesday evening, they’re expected to receive more information on a proposed preliminary plat for Namanny Commercial Development, on the City’s west side. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat during their meeting a little over a week ago. Plans call for a nearly eight-acre tract of land owned by the Namanny Company to be divided into four different lots, one of which is located just north of Boulders’ Inn and Suites. Two small lots would be just off of Highway 6 would be for commercial buildings. City Administrator Doug Harris says the goal of some private parties is to create more of a commercial/retail hub in the area, which would also generate more activity around the Boulders Inn. Approval of the proposed layout by the P-and-Z however, does not constitute final approval of the plans, and submittals that are part of the final plat.

In other business, the Council, Wednesday, will receive a draft of the proposed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Policy. The matter was tabled during their last meeting two-weeks ago, so that Councilman Shaun Shouse and the City Attorney could review the document and make sure it was in compliance with recent changes to the State’s Urban Renewal Law. The Council is being asked to review the draft as presented and ask questions, but they are not expected to take action on the policy until at least November 2nd.

The Atlantic City Council meeting begins at 5:30-p.m.
