Document Description
The applicant proposes to develop a 751.35-acre site with a super speedway 1-mile D-shaped oval racetrack and drag strip. Both facilities will be surrounded by grandstands and sky boxes with a potential seating capacity of approximately 50,000 spectators for the super speedway track and approximately 40,000 for the drag strip. Penthouse condominiums will also be constructed above the grandstands for maximum comfort and viewing opportunities. Race support facilities will include fuel storage, 50 space garage, multi-story mini storage, medical center, and helipad. A law enforcement training center will be constructed onsite in addition to a City of Tulare police substation and fire station which will provide service to the site and surrounding area. The site will also be developed with a mix of commercial uses including offices, restaurants, gas station, convenience stores, convention center, movie theatre, an agri-business technology park, resort hotels and a luxury RV park. Additional recreational activities will include exercise facilities, an amusement park designed for all ages, and a 35 acre lake with boat docks providing fishing opportunities. The lake will provide a focal point for large retail anchors. A ponding basin will also be constructed for storm water retention. Parking will be provided by 13 surface parking lots and a 4 story parking garage. The project designs are pedestrian friendly and will include a low speed tram system to aid in patron circulation.
