Developers outline DeHart property plan with parks, cottage homes and phased build-out
Summary
In a work session the Gardner Group presented a conceptual plan for the DeHart property that includes 34 acres of dispersed open space, two large parks, cottage-style and townhome housing, a future school site and retail anchors; council asked about sound barriers, park maintenance and retail recruitment.
Developers with the Gardner Group presented a conceptual master plan for the DeHart property consistent with the South Meadows Area Specific Plan. The plan features homes oriented around a corridor to the Payson temple site, a network of trails, two large parks (a 5-acre southern park and a 4-acre village-center park), 34 acres of distributed open space, cottage-style homes, townhomes and a future school site. Developers said the parks would be installed by the developer and turned over to the city for maintenance in some cases, while smaller pocket parks would be HOA responsibilities.
Councilmembers asked whether UDOT would require sound barriers along I‑15, how retail would be attracted without harming downtown Main Street, and whether multiple builders would be secured to ensure continuity across a 10–20 year, phased build‑out. The Gardner Group and the DeHart family said they aim for a long-term, quality project that maintains Payson’s character.
