Richardson v. City of Suffolk

This appeal involves a challenge to a zoning ordinance granting a conditional use permit for the operation of an automobile racetrack in the City of Suffolk.

Following a public hearing, the City of Suffolk enacted two zoning ordinances. The first ordinance, No. 1-95, rezoned 65 acres of land owned by UA Associates from an agricultural use classification to B-2, General Business. The second ordinance, No. 2-95, granted UA Associates a conditional use permit allowing the 65 acres of land to be used for an automobile racetrack subject to a number of conditions.
