Tattered, faded signs of various shapes and sizes.
Drive down any business corridor in Payson and youâll see just about every type and condition of temporary sign.
The Payson Planning and Zoning Commission is in the midst of deciding what to do about all the varieties.

In times like these, where many businesses are struggling to survive, the commission agreed it does not want to hamper any businessâ chances of success.

He will next have to convince the Payson Town Council to approve the zoning change he needs.
Gressley has pitched the idea of grinding off 20 to 30 feet of a hilltop that lies between the Payson Event Center and Main Street.
His idea has rocked the community.
âIt was printed suddenly we are a mining town,â said Kenneth Woolcock, the chair of the commission.
This is the third time Gressley has come before the commission to ask for a âminor amendmentâ to the General Plan in order to change the zoning from commercial/residential to manufacturing on the 19.54-acre property.
Currently, the General Plan does not envision manufacturing on that hilltop. The state requires the town to create a General Plan every decade to enshrine the mission and vision for the town. The General Plan then drives where homes and businesses may develop.
