Background/Discussion The subject property is east of Highway 169 between the 213Ih and 221" Avenue alignments. The property is zoned Extreme Commercial Recreation (XCR) where Off -Road Racing Facilities require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant requests an amendment to the previously approved CUP to permit their track expansion completed about two years ago, construct two roofed viewing structures, and install a changeable copy sign (approximately 70 sq. ft.) along Hwy 169. Overall, the current functions/activities on site will continue as they have, but with the addition of a few structures. The conditions from the 2018 CUP have been incorporated into this amendment. To bring the track expansion into compliance the applicant has also applied for a Platted Exemption (PE 22-01) to plat a portion of the property to include the expanded track. Planning Commission Meeting The Planning Commission reviewed all standards required for approval of a CUP and made comments and recommendations on the following topics. Figure V CR 33 - 3 RR Transportation/Circulation The site has three access points to and from Highway 169. The submitted site plan shows two access points to be used for spectators and one for participants/riders. A future third access is shown directly across from 213th Avenue. By the end of 2024, the 169 Redefine project will be complete and the conversion of US Highway 169 to a freeway will greatly impact traffic patterns. Spectators/visitors to this property will see a lack of openings in traffic and minimal opportunities to safely enter/cross US Highway 169. Staff recommended to the Planning Commission that all ingress/egress functions related to the subject parcel/CUP shall occur at Brook Road and all access points be removed on US Highway 169 by August 2024, or at a future CUP, whichever occurs first. The recommended condition should also limit the excessive slowing down/stopping traffic occurring on Highway 169. The applicant owns the necessary properties to establish a primary connection to Brook Road. During the commission meeting, the applicant indicated they may not always own the properties, which would depend on their long-term goals.
