SALISBURY — The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on a zoning text amendment that would provide amendments to the recently-established standards around motorsports racing complexes.

The amendment, which was recommended by the planning board in August, was proposed by Mooresville Motorsports Complex to clear up confusion about the original amendment.

The amendment that the commissioners approved set out rules for race track facilities with multiple tracks or usages, stand-alone race tracks would still require a special-use permit. Those rules encompassed multiple categories, including traffic, location, noise and hours of operation.

The issue that was raised with the ordinance during the planning board meeting was the required minimum lot size acreage for each of the separate usages in the complex. However, multiple of a single tier, such as a drag strip and motor speedway, would still require the full acreage, which the applicant did not originally believe was the case when working with the county on the text.

The new amendment proposal states that two racing-activity tracks of the same type, such as the dirt and paved drag strips, do not require the additional acreage to establish the minimum lot size. Another section was included in the amendment, which stated that if a third racing track activity of the same type was included, then it would require an additional 50 percent of its stated acreage. For example, three drag strips would require 75 acres.

The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Monday and will be held at the Rowan County Administration building located at 130 W. Innes St. in Salisbury. The only other item on the agenda is appointments to vacancies on advisory boards.
