Proposed amendment to Ordinance #1118 would regulate redemption games and allow accessory structures on adjoining lots

A posted agenda from the Borough of Union City describes a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118 that would "provide for definitions and regulation of permitted use zones for redemption games, otherwise known as games of skill" and add Section 701.04 to "provide for use of accessory structures on adjoining lots," according to the notice.

The agenda language also lists a repealer, severability and effective date among the ordinance amendments. The posting invites a "hearing of the visitors" for public comment but does not attach the full text of the proposed ordinance or staff findings, so the precise regulatory changes, definitions, permitted zones, and any limits or licensing requirements for redemption games are not specified in the posted notice.

Because the posted agenda supplies only the amendment summary, residents and interested parties who want to assess the potential effects on businesses or neighboring properties will likely need to request the full proposed ordinance text or attend the Sept. 16 hearing to review details and offer comments.
