D-S Meat Processing / Gary's Meat site planned residential community
Description
A request to rezone about 4 acres from R-1-A to R-1-7.5 with the RMO-1 Two-Family Overlay for up to 19 single-family homes. The commission recommended the modified version (adding staff's proposed zone changes) with a single-family-only condition.
Impact summary
The meat plant would be replaced by small-lot single-family homes at just over 4 units per acre, reducing long-standing neighbor complaints — though the business itself won't relocate in Payson.

Redevelopment of the Gary's Meat site into a residential community
A proposed dog park at the old meat packing plant site drew pushback — Councilmember Provstgaard wants the building torn down ASAP and thinks the land is better used for storage; Councilmember Rowley says a dog park belongs in a new subdivision, not next to a slaughterhouse and a wellhead protection zone.
Roadway connectivity and HOA-owned private street near the development
A proposed road connection crosses land that's actually HOA-owned open space tied to the development to the east. Whether it becomes a public street depends on the HOA, and it'll all get worked out during subdivision review.
