In C8 Districts or any #Manufacturing District#, the City Planning Commission may permit racetracks listed under Use Group
VIII, provided that the following findings are made:

(a)    that the principal vehicular access for such #use# is not located on a local #street# but is located either on an arterial
       highway, a major #street#, or a secondary #street# within one-quarter mile of an arterial highway or major #street#;

(b)    that such #use# is so located as to draw a minimum of vehicular traffic to and through local #streets# in nearby residential
       areas;

(c)    that adequate reservoir space at the vehicular entrance, and sufficient vehicular entrances and exits, are provided to
       prevent congestion;

(d)    that vehicular entrances and exits for such #use# are provided separately and are located not less than 100 feet apart; and

(e)    that, in selecting the site, due consideration has been given to the proximity and adequacy of bus and rapid transit
       facilities.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area, including limitations on #signs# or requirements for shielding of floodlights, screening or surfacing all access
roads or driveways.

In addition, the Commission shall require the provision of adequate #accessory# off-street parking spaces necessary to prevent
the creation of traffic congestion caused by the curb parking of vehicles generated by such #use#, and shall determine the
required spaces in accordance with the requirements established in this Resolution with respect to other major traffic generating
#uses#.
