Union City Borough holds public hearing on proposed zoning amendment for redemption games
Summary
Union City held a brief hearing Sept. 16, 2024, on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 to define and regulate 'redemption games' (games of skill) and to add rules for accessory structures on adjoining lots; no public comments were received and the hearing was adjourned.
The Borough of Union City held a public hearing Monday evening to solicit comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 that would define and regulate “redemption games,” commonly called games of skill, and add Section 701.04 regarding the use of accessory structures on adjoining lots. Councilor Cross called the hearing to order at 6:05 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street.
The hearing’s stated purpose was to provide information and receive public comment on the proposed ordinance changes, including a repealer, a severability clause and an effective date. Officials described the changes as defining and regulating permitted-use zones for redemption games and establishing rules for accessory structures on adjoining lots. No further details on proposed zoning map changes or specific permitted zones were provided in the minutes.
Council records list Councilors Cross, Osborn, Steadman and Kerns as present and Councilors Joyce, Winkler and Uber as absent. Borough Solicitor Tim Wachter and Constituent Services Representative Kim Tuszynski were recorded as officials present. The hearing opened a period for visitor comments but no visitors attended, so no public testimony was taken.
Councilor Steadman moved to adjourn the hearing; Councilor Osborn seconded the motion. The hearing was adjourned at 6:09 p.m. The record does not show a vote on the ordinance during this hearing; the session was limited to information and public comment.
