Union City schedules public hearing on zoning amendment for redemption games and accessory structures
Summary
The Borough of Union City will hold a public hearing on Sept. 16, 2024, at 6 p.m. to take comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118 that would define and regulate redemption games (games of skill) and add rules for accessory structures on adjoining lots.
The Borough of Union City posted an agenda announcing a public hearing for Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, to receive public comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118.
The notice says the amendment would add definitions and regulation of permitted use zones for "redemption games," also described in the posting as "games of skill," and would add Section 701.04 to provide for the use of accessory structures on adjoining lots. The agenda text also lists standard ordinance elements including a repealer, severability clause and an effective date.
The hearing agenda identifies time and place and explicitly states there will be a hearing of visitors regarding the amendment, indicating members of the public may offer testimony or comment. The notice does not include draft ordinance text, recommended zoning map changes, or staff analysis; those materials were not specified in the posted agenda.
The Borough’s next procedural steps are not listed in the notice. Typically, after public comment the governing body may schedule additional readings, revisions, or a vote on the ordinance amendment; the posted agenda does not assert any final action will occur at the Sept. 16 hearing. Interested parties should consult Borough offices or the meeting packet for the full proposed text and any related documents before the hearing.
