At a public meeting of City Council on Thursday, August 21, 2025, City Council members will consider a resolution asking the Planning Board for its recommendation as to whether to  designate the former Wonderland Pier property at 600 Boardwalk as an “Area in Need of Rehabilitation.” 

Designation as an Area in Need of Rehabilitation would not change the zoning standards for the  property, or result in any development approvals for the site, or be based upon any specific project  proposed to be constructed in the future. Any project to be developed on this site would still require  Planning Board or Zoning Board approval; and the designation would be based upon the current  condition of the property. 

The City Council meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, in Council Chambers on the third floor of City Hall (861 Asbury Avenue). 

City Council will not discuss or consider approval of any development for this site at this meeting. No  presentation is planned for this meeting. 

I am attaching a summary of the extensive process for any potential designation of a property as an  “Area in Need of Rehabilitation” as prepared by our city solicitor.
