AC casino height rules may change16 February 2007ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey – As reported by the Press of Atlantic City: "…City Council is expected to vote next week on a measure that would raise the building height limit for a portion of land bordered by the Boardwalk and New Jersey, Oriental and Metro-politan avenues from 485 to 800 feet. "The ordinance would also allow any skyscrapers to top out with an extra 100 feet for rooftop decorations or mechanical rooms. "The 20-acre tract is owned by Morgan Stanley subsidiary Ventura AC LLC, formerly called MS Atlantic City LLC. It is providing some financial support to Revel Entertainment, which announced plans last year to build a casino on the long-barren tract.
