Union City holds public hearing on proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118
Summary
Union City Borough held a public hearing Sept. 16, 2024 to present a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118 to regulate "redemption games" (games of skill) and allow accessory structures on adjoining lots. No members of the public spoke; councilors opened the hearing and adjourned after proceedings.
The Borough of Union City on Sept. 16, 2024 held a public hearing to present and accept comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118. Councilor Cross called the hearing to order at 6:05 P.M. at First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, Union City, PA. The session opened with the borough vision statement: “The Union City area is a thriving rural community of families, businesses and organizations dedicated to encouraging growth while maintaining small town values.”
According to the borough record, the amendment would add definitions and regulations for permitted-use zones for "redemption games, otherwise known as games of skill," add Section 701.04 to provide for the use of accessory structures on adjoining lots, and include a repealer, severability clause and an effective date. Solicitor Tim Wachter and Constituent Services Representative Kim Tuszynski were noted as officials present. Councilors Cross, Osborn, Steadman and Kerns attended; Councilors Joyce, Winkler and Uber were recorded as absent.
The hearing opened for public comment, and the minutes state that no visitors were present and therefore no public testimony was given. Councilor Steadman moved to adjourn the hearing; Councilor Osborn seconded the motion. The hearing adjourned at 6:09 P.M. The transcript does not record a council vote on Ordinance #1118 during the public hearing.
The record indicates the borough provided the information and opportunity for comment required for a zoning amendment hearing; because no public comments were offered, the transcript does not reflect citizen input on the proposed regulatory changes. Any further action on Ordinance #1118 (such as readings, votes, or amendments) is not recorded in this hearing transcript.
