Payson Town Council - Regular - Jun 10, 2026
Neighbors appealed the approval of a Circle K with gas and diesel pumps roughly 45 feet from homes near Walmart, citing traffic, noise, drainage, wildlife, and air quality. The Council upheld the permit anyway, adding buffer conditions, reasoning the site is already zoned commercial and could host higher-impact uses without any review.
