Board adopts wording change to condition allowing up to five 4‑acre custom home sites
Summary
The Gila County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 2026‑01, amending Ordinance 2025‑06 to change a condition so that a 20‑acre property may have “not more than five 4‑acre custom home sites”; county staff said the amendment clarifies wording and does not change zoning. The motion passed by voice vote after no public testimony.
The Gila County Board of Supervisors on Thursday approved Ordinance 2026‑01, an amendment to Ordinance 2025‑06 that revises condition language to read that a 20‑acre parcel may have “not more than five 4‑acre custom home sites.”
County planning staff explained the change is phrased only to clarify intent and does not rezone the property. "They got their application in on time," a county planner said, adding that the amendment allows up to five 4‑acre homes rather than requiring five. Board members asked whether deed restrictions prevent further subdivision; staff confirmed a deed restriction prohibits splitting that would result in more than five 4‑acre homes.
The board opened the public hearing and asked whether anyone in Payson or in Globe wished to speak; no members of the public spoke. After discussion the board member moved to adopt Ordinance 2026‑01 “as presented,” the motion was seconded, and the board approved the measure by voice vote.
The change was presented as administrative clarification intended to avoid future confusion about whether the condition required exactly five homes or permitted up to five. No amendment or opposition was recorded on the record.
Next steps: the ordinance was adopted at the meeting and will be filed according to county procedure; staff said the change does not alter the underlying zoning or lot‑size requirements.
