Payson planning panel backs Title 12 change to simplify residential density rules
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended City Council adopt an amendment to Title 12 (Subdivision Regulations) that replaces 'gross' and 'net' density calculations with a single defined term, aiming to reduce confusion in how residential density is measured.
The Payson City Planning Commission on March 11 recommended that the City Council approve a revision to Title 12 Subdivision Regulations that replaces separate "gross" and "net" density calculations with one, single definition of "density." Michael Bryant, Planner II, presented the proposal and described the change as intended to "eliminate confusion between gross and net density calculations by replacing these terms with a single new definition of 'density.'"
Commissioners asked staff follow-up questions about implementation details, including how the change interacts with zone-based density limits and whether the redefinition affects lot configuration standards. Commissioner Kepi Heimuli moved the public hearing open and later moved the recommendation; the motion passed with votes recorded in favor by Perry Adams, Rachel Becker, Kirk Beecher, Ryan Frisby, Bob Gedeborg, and Kepi Heimuli. There was no public comment during the hearing. The commission's recommendation sends the amendment forward to City Council for final action.
