Union City Borough will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, to consider amendments to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118.
The notice posted by the borough says the proposed amendment would add definitions and regulations for permitted-use zones for "redemption games," also described in the posting as "games of skill," and would add Section 701.04 to address the use of accessory structures on adjoining lots. The amendment also includes typical ordinance language on repeal, severability and an effective date.
The hearing is intended to provide information to the public and receive comments on the proposed changes. The posted agenda lists a period for visitor comments and then adjournment; no vote or further procedural steps are included in the posting.
The posting does not specify the particular zones where redemption games would be permitted, any licensing or fee structure, enforcement mechanisms, or the exact effective date if the ordinance is adopted. Those details may be provided during the hearing or in subsequent draft ordinance text.
The borough posted the agenda to notify residents and interested parties of the opportunity to speak at the public hearing. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2024.
