Summary
Councilmember Rowley moved and council approved Ordinance 04‑15‑2026‑C to amend Title 13 zoning language clarifying residential density; the change passed on a 4‑0 roll call with one absence.
Payson City Council approved Ordinance 04‑15‑2026‑C on April 15, which amends Title 13 of the municipal code to align zoning text with new definitions of residential density. The ordinance followed a staff presentation explaining how the changes work together with corresponding updates to subdivision rules and the general plan.
Councilmember Ryan Rowley moved to adopt the Title 13 amendment; the motion passed by roll call with Brian Hulet, Anne Moss, Ryan Rowley and Lacee Smith voting yes and Bob Provstgaard recorded as absent. The council said the amendments were intended to remove ambiguity and provide consistent feedback to applicants across divisions of the planning department.
Staff will incorporate the new zoning language into official guidance and advise prospective applicants on how the updated density calculations apply to future proposals.
