It was interesting to note that our local whack jobs - R.J. Hampton and Sativa - are apparently the self proclaimed 'tyranny of the minority' complainants.
It would like to point out that there are two sides to this zoning/SUP thing from a zoning stand point. All the house lots surrounding SPACE are zoned AG. There is essentially zero AG going on on those properties (with perhaps the exception of SPACE/Bellyacres). So these residents of the AG lots are more of a R zone in fact than legality.
Now there is nothing that says you have to do agriculture on an AG property. But in AG zoning you are very limited in your ability to complain about roosters, tractors, chemical sprays and farm machinery from the crack of dawn until dusk. SPACE has an event? Basis for a claim. Your neighbors move 75 fighting cocks next door? Tough luck. Raising pigs? Too bad... according to the code.
It is the over riding lack of intelligent and practical zoning both for the residents of a subdivision full of tiny lots and the adjoining 10 acre site trying to function in response to community needs. Needs that have not been addressed by the CoH ever.
And then there is the R.J. Hampton factor. Someone of the tin foil hat variety who acquired a taste for being the center of attention.
If it was not a mere zoning complaint and was a civil matter it might well be considered vexatious litigation.

Assume the best and ask questions.
