The Zoning Ordinance is a companion ordinance to the Subdivision Ordinance both created and adopted to assist the City in the fulfillment of the General Plan and to provide for orderly development patterns.

When the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance are in conflict, the stricter or protective ordinance shall apply, except that in the case of a Planned Residential Development (PRD), the Subdivision Ordinance shall take precedent in all inconsistent issues.

Satisfaction of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance will not be construed as subdivision approval. Each proposed subdivision must satisfy the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance, PCC 12.

Any land divided into two or more parcels within Payson City without satisfying each requirement of this ordinance and PCC 12, Subdivision Ordinance shall be considered null and void. Each division of land shall not be recorded in the office of the Utah County Recorder until the requirements of this ordinance and PCC 12, Subdivision Ordinance have been satisfied and the plat of the subdivision has been signed by the Mayor of Payson City.

If an improper subdivision of land is recorded in the office of the Utah County Recorder, it will not be recognized by Payson City, and Payson City will consider the owner(s) of the parcel as joint tenants and the title to the property merged. Payson City shall not be held liable for improper subdivisions and shall not be obligated to grant any development approval on improperly subdivided parcels.
