Union City hears proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118 covering "redemption games" and accessory structures
Summary
Union City Borough held a public hearing Sept. 16, 2024 on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118 to define and regulate "redemption games" (games of skill) and add Section 701.04 on accessory structures on adjoining lots; no members of the public spoke.
Union City Borough convened a public hearing Sept. 16, 2024 at 6:05 p.m. at First Global Methodist Church to provide information and receive public comment on a proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1118. The proposed changes would add definitions and permitted-use rules for "redemption games," also described in the hearing materials as "games of skill," and would add Section 701.04 to allow use of accessory structures located on adjoining lots. The amendment package also includes standard repealer, severability and effective-date provisions.
The borough's vision statement was included in the meeting materials: "The Union City area is a thriving rural community of families, businesses and organizations dedicated to encouraging growth while maintaining small town values." The hearing record shows no visitors were present to speak on the proposed ordinance during the public comment period. The absence of public testimony means the council received no on-the-record objections, endorsements, or suggested amendments during this session.
Councilors present were Cross, Osborn, Steadman and Kerns; Solicitor Tim Wachter and Constituent Services Representative Kim Tuszynski attended as officials. The hearing notice and the ordinance text identify the specific target changes as (1) definitions and regulation of permitted use zones for redemption games (games of skill), (2) addition of Section 701.04 concerning accessory structures on adjoining lots, and (3) repeal, severability and effective date language. The record does not indicate further public hearing dates or a final vote on the ordinance during this meeting.
The council moved to adjourn the hearing at 6:09 p.m. after the public comment period produced no speakers. Any procedural steps for formal consideration, committee recommendation, or council vote on Ordinance #1118 were not recorded in the hearing minutes and are listed as not specified in the meeting record.
