Public hearing on zoning amendment ends quickly; no public commenters attend
Summary
A brief public hearing on proposed changes to Zoning Ordinance #1118 in Union City on Sept. 16, 2024 saw no members of the public speak; Councilor Steadman moved to adjourn and Councilor Osborn seconded, and the hearing ended at 6:09 p.m.
Union City Borough opened a public hearing Sept. 16, 2024 at 6:05 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church to receive comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118. The record lists Councilors Cross, Osborn, Steadman and Kerns as present; Councilors Joyce, Winkler and Uber were noted as absent. Solicitor Tim Wachter and Constituent Services Representative Kim Tuszynski were present as officials.
The hearing materials describe the proposed ordinance changes as defining and regulating "redemption games" (referred to in the materials as games of skill), adding Section 701.04 to permit use of accessory structures on adjoining lots, and including repealer, severability and effective-date provisions. The council opened the floor for visitor comment but "No visitors were present," and no testimony was recorded. Councilor Steadman moved to adjourn the hearing; Councilor Osborn seconded, and the hearing adjourned at 6:09 p.m.
The minutes do not record a council vote on Ordinance #1118 or any follow-up dates for further consideration. The public record from this hearing therefore contains notice of the proposal but no on-the-record public responses.
