9.17.010 Purpose.

Due to the tremendous increase in off-road vehicles within the county and the attendant damage to property, the effective regulation and control of off-road vehicles is now a major county responsibility.

The board of county commissioners has determined and found that off-road vehicles can provide appropriate, useful and energy efficient alternatives to automobiles when properly operated, but that the unregulated use of such vehicles is a nuisance to the citizens of Clark County and causes damage to and deterioration of the environment, detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the people.
