4q <br />Abstract: NC Highway 57 Speedway Area Small Area Plan <br />Attachment Two (2) -Description of study area: <br />The study area is located within the Little River Township and within both the Flat <br />and Little River watersheds, The northern portion of the Speedway property, the <br />entire go-kart tract, and all property north of Mile Branch Road are located within <br />the Flat River watershed totaling approximately twc hundred and ninety (290) <br />acres of land area. The remaining property, including the remaining portion of <br />the Speedway property and the entire quarry site, are located within the Little <br />River watershed, <br />The majority of the property within the study area is currently zoned Agricultural <br />Residential (AR) with existing parcels zoned Existing Commercial Five (EC-5). <br />The current Future Land Use Map classifies the study area as Agricultural <br />Residential, <br />The boundary for the proposed Highway 57 Speedway Area Small Area Plan <br />was determined in the following manner: <br />1. Staff drew the boundary line to include the entire Orange County <br />Speedway property and go-cart property to the west of NC Highway 57 <br />towards the Person County border to the north. <br />2, The boundary extends east along the Person County border, terminating <br />and heading south along the Durham County border to include three (3) <br />properties to the south along NC Highway 57 towards Mile Branch Road. <br />3. The boundary area continues south along the Durham County border to <br />include the entire quarry property and then turns west towards NC <br />Highway 57 to include an undeveloped eleven (11) acre parcel of property <br />directly adjacent to the quarry, <br />The rationale far the boundary was to include all existing nonresidential <br />developments in the area and any existing undeveloped property that was <br />potentially suitable to support additional nonresidential development, <br />
