Union City Borough schedules hearing on zoning amendment for redemption games
Summary
Union City Borough will hold a public hearing Sept. 16, 2024, to consider amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1118 to define and regulate permitted use zones for 'redemption games' (games of skill) and to add Section 701.04 about accessory structures on adjoining lots; the posted agenda opens a public comment period.
Union City Borough posted an agenda announcing a public hearing for 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, at the First Global Methodist Church, 42 East High Street, to consider changes to Zoning Ordinance No. 1118. The notice says the meeting’s purpose is to provide information and receive public comment on the proposed amendment.
The agenda describes the proposed changes as intended "to provide for definitions and regulation of permitted use zones for redemption games, otherwise known as games of skill; adding Section 701.04 to provide for use of accessory structures on adjoining lots; and provide a repealer, severability and effective date." The posted notice also lists a hearing of visitors (public comment) and adjournment; no motions, votes, presenters, or speakers are specified in the posted agenda. The borough did not specify an effective date or further implementation details in the notice.
The hearing provides the formal opportunity for residents, business owners and other stakeholders to comment on how the borough would regulate redemption games and whether accessory structures on adjoining lots should be addressed in the zoning code. The agenda does not identify any staff report, ordinance sponsor, or specific proposed regulatory language beyond the items listed, so questions about geographic boundaries for permitted use zones, enforcement mechanisms, and any licensing or fees remain "not specified."
