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.
While current code clearly lays out how signs must look and how many each business can have, the commission worries it is too restrictive and doing more harm than good.
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.
The meeting starts at 3 p.m. Jan. 11 and is being held via Zoom online.
On the docket is a discussion of three preliminary plat extensions.
The first is for Pine Shadows at the corner of Chaparral Pines Drive and State Route 260.
In a request to town staff, the developer is asking for more time.
âGiven the long lead times during COVID-19 and other unplanned delays, we are rapidly approaching our one-year anniversary of the preliminary plat application for Pine Shadows project number S19-004,â wrote John Hayden with Mogollon Rim Holdings, LLC. âI would like to formally request an extension and we will pay the $250 fee today.â
