Planning commission forwards South Meadows area plan clarifications to City Council
Summary
The commission voted to recommend the South Meadows area specific plan to the City Council; staff said the older South Meadows plan required more changes because it used units-per-acre language frequently in its land-use map.
The Payson City Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council consider updates to the South Meadows area specific plan that would clarify how residential density is interpreted.
Staff told the commission that South Meadows (an older area plan) often referenced units-per-acre in its land-use map and therefore has more staff-recommended edits to align it with the general plan and zoning clarifications. The commission opened a public hearing, received no public testimony, and approved a motion to forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council.
The commission discussed how the broader zoning code update could introduce density bonuses or PRD tools to allow a mix of lot sizes and provide amenities such as park space, which staff identified as a potential way to achieve neighborhood character while still allowing added units.
