Union City posts hearing on proposed zoning rules for redemption games
Summary
Union City Borough posted a Sept. 16 public hearing 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 take public comment.
Union City Borough posted a public hearing notice for Sept. 16, 2024, to consider an amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 that would define and regulate "redemption games," also described in the notice as games of skill, and add a provision allowing accessory structures on adjoining lots.
The notice, published as the borough's agenda, says the hearing will be held at 6:00 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, Union City, and is intended to provide information and receive public comment before any formal action. The amendment package listed in the notice would add definitions and permitted-use zones for redemption games, add Section 701.04 concerning accessory structures on adjoining lots, and include standard repealer, severability and effective-date language.
The posted agenda identifies the proposed change as an amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 but does not include text of the draft ordinance, specific permitted zones, or proposed conditions for operation. The notice does not state whether the proposal includes licensing, hours, distance limits, or other operational controls; those details are "not specified" in the published agenda and would be expected to appear in the draft ordinance or be provided at the hearing.
The hearing notice directs that visitors' comments will be received; the agenda lists "Hearing of the visitors regarding the amendment to the zoning ordinance," followed by adjournment. The agenda does not record any prior votes, motions, or staff reports; it functions as a public notice that the borough will solicit comment and provide information on the stated changes.
The hearing is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, Union City, PA 16438. The agenda gives the ordinance number (No. 1118) and specifically references addition of Section 701.04 and changes to definitions and permitted-use zones for redemption games; attendees seeking the full draft text should contact borough offices, as the agenda itself does not include the draft language.
