• <br />• <br />• <br />Staff's view is that a racing /riding track is a facility and use that is not specifically allowed by <br />the Zoning Ordinance and therefore is prohibited: unless the City Council determines that the <br />use is acceptable because it is comparable in potential activities and impacts to a use listed in the <br />ordinance. <br />Nuisance Violation Not Determined <br />Chapter 901 of the City Code addresses nuisances. Racing /riding of off -road vehicles in a <br />residential neighborhood may be violating the City Code because of the noise created by the <br />riding activity. However, just when or if this is the case has not been determined and staff is not <br />proposing to pursue this question at this time. The Planning & Zoning Board discussed this issue <br />informally. The P & Z consensus is that the issue is a noise nuisance issue rather than a land <br />use /zoning issue. If the City Council determines that the use of the site is not allowable under <br />the Zoning Ordinance, there would be no need to pursue the nuisance issue. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />1. Approve Resolution No. 10 -106, determining that an off -road vehicle riding course is not <br />allowed in an R -1 zone. <br />2. Return to staff with direction. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Excerpts from the Zoning Ordinance with specific passages highlighted with underlining. <br />• Resolution No. 10 -106 <br />• Map of the area showing zoning <br />• Map of the area showing parcel sizes <br />• Aerial photo of the area with scale in feet <br />
