Union City Borough Council approves amendments to parking and zoning ordinances
Summary
The council unanimously approved changes to Parking Ordinance 1137 (restricting unlawful/disabled vehicles and amending schedules) and Zoning Ordinance 1118 (defining and regulating redemption games and accessory structures on adjoining lots). Both motions passed without dissent.
Union City Borough Council unanimously approved changes to two local ordinances at its Sept. 16 meeting.
The council voted to amend Parking Ordinance No. 1137 to tighten restrictions on unlawful and disabled vehicles and to make technical edits to Schedules I, II and IV. Councilor Steadman moved the change and Councilor Osborn seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes note the amendment had been advertised Sept. 9, 2024.
The council also approved an amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118. The change adds definitions and establishes permitted-use zones for redemption games (commonly called games of skill) and creates section 701.04 to allow certain accessory structures on adjoining lots. Councilor Kerns moved the zoning amendment and Councilor Steadman seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Both actions were taken as advertised and passed by voice vote with all four sitting councilors voting in favor. The minutes do not specify effective dates for the ordinance changes or any immediate enforcement steps; the council did not record any public testimony opposing the measures. Further procedural steps (such as final codification or posting) were not detailed in the minutes.
