Union City Borough schedules Sept. 16 public hearing on proposed zoning amendment for ‘redemption games’
Summary
The Borough of Union City will hold a public hearing Sept. 16, 2024, at 6 p.m. to consider amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 to define and regulate "redemption games" (games of skill) and to add rules allowing accessory structures on adjoining lots; the hearing will accept public comment.
The Borough of Union City will hold a public hearing on Sept. 16, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, to consider a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 that would define and regulate "redemption games," also described in the notice as "games of skill," and add rules on accessory structures located on adjoining lots.
The amendment notice says the change would provide definitions and regulation of permitted-use zones for redemption games, add a new Section 701.04 to govern the use of accessory structures on adjoining lots, and include a repealer, severability clause and effective date. The hearing is intended to provide information and receive public comment on those provisions.
The hearing notice does not include a scheduled vote or list of specific zones that would be affected; it simply sets the public meeting to gather input. The borough will take public testimony at the hearing before any further formal action is recorded in the minutes or scheduled for a subsequent meeting.
The notice itself serves as the primary description of the scope: regulation of businesses or operations classified as redemption games and an added allowance or regulation for accessory structures on adjoining parcels. Residents and business owners with questions about how the changes might affect specific properties or uses should attend the hearing or consult borough staff for clarification.
No speakers, motions or votes are recorded in the posted agenda. The hearing notice provides the date, time and location and invites public comment; any next steps, such as a council reading or vote, are not specified in the notice.
