Unfortunately, the land is already zoned C-2 Highway Commercial and that allows a motocross track. The matter has not, as yet, gone to the County Commissioners for a special use permit.
I, along with a couple dozen others, attended a meeting of the County Planning Commission a couple of weeks ago, and with at least a dozen speaking out against it, and not one speaking out in favor, the Planning Commission approved it. At that time, the dealer himself had no firm plan, just an attitude of "I'll open the door and see what comes in". He also wants to depend on the two nearest volunteer rescue units for EMT services. They have both spoken against it. By law, a rescue unit cannot refuse to respond to an injury, but they're also not going to tie up their equipment unneccessarily.
I had a half page article published in the local newspaper citing 14 points in the County Code and asking questions as to how they would be met. I also leaned heavily on the Planning Commission for wimping out and tossing it to the Commissioners. (I was surprised I didn't get any obscene phone calls from members of the Planning Commission).
I'm not one for counting my chickens before they're hatched, but two of five Commissioners have spoken against it. The feelings of the other three are not known. That could appear as a possible 3-2 majority in favor of granting the permit. HOWEVER, if you dig deep enough into the fine print in the county code, if 20% or more of adjacent propety owners sign a petition against a project such as this, it then takes a 4/5 majority of the Commissioners, or in this case a 4-1 vote. We have a petition circulating, and if at least two Commissioners vote against it, we may have it won.
