The City Council hereby reserves the right to require and enter into a development agreement with any applicant for development approval under the provisions of this ordinance, the Subdivision Ordinance, or any other ordinance or resolution of the City.
The development agreement may address specific details about issues that have yet to be completely resolved, issues regarding phasing of a project, or any other requirement of the City Council.
The City Council hereby declares that:
Any reference to fees imposed by the regulations of this Title is subject to the fee schedule adopted by resolution by the City Council, which may be amended from time to time. If a conflict arises between a fee listed herein and the fee schedule, the provisions of the fee schedule shall take precedence.
The purpose for the collection of review fees is to cover, at least partially, the cost of development review. It is the intention of the City Council to require applicants to pay the cost of the review and not expend General Fund revenues for this purpose. In accordance with the policies of the Development Services Department, any project that requires public works inspections will be required to submit payment of a public works inspection and testing fee consistent with the Payson City Fee Resolution for the inspection and approval of the required improvements. These fees are adopted by resolution of the City Council and may be amended from time to time and are available from the Development Services Department.
The public works inspection fee will be submitted to Payson City to be placed in an interest bearing account. Payson City will draw from the account the amount necessary to complete the inspections.

Any amount not used to complete public works testing and inspections shall be refunded, with accrued interest, to the applicant.
The purpose of this Section is to establish minimum acceptable vision clearance standards for motorist and pedestrian safety at vehicular access points along streets.

If the road has a stop sign at the relevant intersection, the clear view area may be reduced by the City Engineer. The clear view area should not be less than twenty-five (25) feet in residential zones.
In the CC-1, Central Commercial Zone, due to the historic nature of the zone, the clear view area may be reduced, or eliminated, by the City Engineer if it can be shown that safe vehicular circulation can be accomplished. In order to provide safe vehicular circulation, the City Engineer may require remedies such as, but not limited to no parking zones, and appropriate road regulatory signs.
There may be unique circumstances, due to topography, road alignment, or other physical feature that could cause a safety hazard even if the requirements of this Section are satisfied. In those circumstances, the City Engineer may require additional provisions to eliminate the safety concern. These provisions could include, but are not limited to, removal of all trees, shrubs, fences, and other obstructions for a distance determined to create a safe intersection. Likewise, in unique situations, the City Engineer may determine that the intersection is safe with fewer restrictions than those required by this Section. The City Engineer may consult with other members of the staff such as the Police Chief, Street Superintendent, and Fire Chief in making such a determination.
A permit is required for construction trailers and temporary residential sales offices. The applicant must submit a complete application form and payment of all fees in accordance with PCC 13.06.070. When permitted under this Section, structures shall satisfy the following regulations:

If allowed, the City Council will establish the location, number, appearance and timeframe in which the storage containers will be allowed.
All containers shall be maintained in good repair and placed on-site in a location that will not eliminate required parking space or public safety access. Vertical stacking is prohibited in all zones except for businesses licensed to sell containers. Storage facilities shall not be used for human habitation.
