The Atlantic City Council is set to meet 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, at City Hall. On their agenda, is the second reading of an Ordinance amending the City’s Code of Ordinances, with regard to the expansion of a two-way stop at 22nd and Olive to a four-way, and from a two-way stop at 32nd and Chestnut, to a three-way stop. The proposed changes is to encourage traffic to slow down before entering the city. During the Council’s meeting on Oct. 7th, an Atlantic resident voiced his opposition to the four-way stop at 22nd and Olive, and suggested Atlantic Police make more of an effort to hand out tickets to those who exceed the 35 mph speed limit. At that same meeting, the first reading of the ordinance passed by a vote of 5-to 1.

The Council, Wednesday, will act on a transmittal from the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission, with regard to two proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance. The changes, according to Zoning Commission John Lund, would include: Bringing Deter Motor Company into conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. Currently, he says, the downtown district does not imply sales of outdoor good would be allowed. That will be corrected by amending a section of the Central Business District regulations to list “Automotive Sales” as a permitted use. The second change would simply clean up the language in the “Accessory Buildings” section of the Ordinance, by merging two nearly identical subsections into one. The P&Z has unanimously endorsed the changes. A notice and public hearing are required before any changes are made to the Zoning Ordinance.

In other business, the Council will:

• Hold the third and final reading of an Ordinance vacating and conveying an alley between Hemlock and Sycamore Streets, south of E. 18th Street.
• Act on a Resolution setting the date for a Public Hearing on vacating a Right of Way for a stub (non-connecting) section of road, just east of 9th and Plum Streets.
