Union City hearing also covers accessory structures on adjoining lots and standard ordinance provisions
Summary
The posted amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118 would add Section 701.04 allowing use of accessory structures on adjoining lots and includes repealer, severability and effective date language; the borough scheduled a Sept. 16 hearing for public comment.
The posted agenda for Union City Borough’s Sept. 16, 2024 public hearing states the amendment would add Section 701.04 "to provide for use of accessory structures on adjoining lots." The notice groups that change with repeal, severability and effective date provisions in the same ordinance amendment (Zoning Ordinance #1118) and invites public comment at the scheduled hearing.
The posting does not specify how Section 701.04 would operate in practice (for example, whether it would allow accessory structures to cross lot lines, require shared easements, or require property-owner agreements). It also does not include a draft of the language or identify any proposed conditions, permitting requirements, or enforcement mechanisms. The posted notice therefore leaves procedural and technical implementation details unspecified; those details would typically be addressed either in the full draft ordinance, in staff reports provided at the hearing, or in subsequent readings by the borough.
Because the posting is a notice rather than a legislative transcript, it records no council motions, votes, or public comments. The hearing functions as the borough’s opportunity to gather input before any formal action is taken on the ordinance amendment.
