Actually, I don't think it will end up in court. The zoning for the project is in place, and if the owner has the Ts crossed and the I's dotted in his application, there is nothing that can be done to shut him down; you can't spot zone, and you can't create a new law and apply it ex post facto.

The 'neighbors', and I use the term loosely, since some of the vocal critics live miles away, might have a case civilly if the range actually causes some harm, but you can't have injury if the business isn't in operation...
