A Conditional Use Permit to authorize use of the Humboldt County Fairgrounds for a maximum of ten (10) concerts and four (4) motorsports events. All events would be held at the oval racetrack and nearby grandstands located within the southern portion of the Fairgrounds. Events would be pre-scheduled and occur between March and October, excepting a six-week period (August 1st thru September 15th) associated with preparation, operation, and cleanup for the annual Humboldt County Fair. All events would end on or before 10 pm. Concerts would occur from a temporary stage placed directly in front of the grandstands and feature a range of different performance types from amplified music featuring a full band to smaller acoustic events. Motorsports activities include: Tractor Pulls, 4x4 Truck events, Go Carts, Monster Trucks, and Motorcycle Racing . Motorcycle racing events would occur on the dirt oval racetrack and involve up to 18 riders. The permit is being processed along with a request to amend the terms of the lease agreement between the County of Humboldt and the Humboldt County Fair Association (HCFA), a private non-profit organization responsible for management and operation of the Humboldt County Fair and County Fairgrounds.
