He will next have to convince the Payson Town Council to approve the zoning change he needs.
Gressley has pitched the idea of grinding off 20 to 30 feet of a hilltop that lies between the Payson Event Center and Main Street.
His idea has rocked the community.
âIt was printed suddenly we are a mining town,â said Kenneth Woolcock, the chair of the commission.
This is the third time Gressley has come before the commission to ask for a âminor amendmentâ to the General Plan in order to change the zoning from commercial/residential to manufacturing on the 19.54-acre property.
Currently, the General Plan does not envision manufacturing on that hilltop. The state requires the town to create a General Plan every decade to enshrine the mission and vision for the town. The General Plan then drives where homes and businesses may develop.
