Council discusses zoning changes for pools, sheds and parking; solicitor to draft amendments
Summary
Council discussed proposed zoning changes to permit above-ground pools on adjoining vacant lots and removable sheds up to 144 sq ft, and reviewed proposed parking changes for Municipal Lot #2; the solicitor will draft ordinance language for council review.
Union City Borough Council discussed proposed amendments to the zoning and parking ordinances on July 9, directing the solicitor to draft language for formal consideration.
Council reviewed previously presented changes to rules on skill games of chance and moved on to proposed additional changes: allowing above-ground pools on vacant adjoining lots and permitting removable sheds up to 144 square feet if sited on a gravel base or skids/pillars; council discussed eliminating setbacks from adjoining property lines for those structures while retaining front-yard setback requirements. Solicitor Tim Wachter will prepare suggested ordinance text for council review.
Council also discussed proposed changes to parking in Municipal Lot #2, including removing front-end parking and potentially converting spaces to angled parking; the Streets Supervisor was asked to calculate how many spaces would be available under angled parking and the solicitor will present a proposed amendment for final council review.
