Private motocross track gets go-ahead despite county controversy
by Kelly Fisher | Casa Grande Dispatch
After more than an hour of debate and the threat of litigation from two parties, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a special use permit to operate a private motocross track.
The board’s decision came despite the Planning and Zoning Commission’s unanimous recommendation to deny the request.
With the board’s approval, the track — River Bottom Motocross — may be constructed on a 12-acre parcel approximately one mile east of State Route 79 in an unincorporated area of Pinal County near Florence, along a San Carlos Irrigation and Drainage District canal road, between the Gila River and a San Carlos irrigation channel.
