Payson Town Council - Regular - Oct 14, 2026
The golf course owner wants to rezone ~27 acres to build 125 manufactured homes around a scaled-down nine-hole course. It keeps the course alive but trading apartments-allowed zoning for manufactured homes — traffic, lighting, and golf course size were the concerns raised.

The golf course owner wants to rezone 27 acres for a 55-plus manufactured home community to help keep the struggling golf course afloat. Neighbors are split — some like the low heights and open space, others call it a commercial mobile home park that doesn't fit the area's 1970s 'no mobile homes' zoning history.
