most cases of local govt. being a pain in the arse with zoning resides in business zones. Cities dont’ want business zones being converted into untaxable church owned property and well to do churches usually expand into adjacent properties. Its usually not about a church per se, its the taxes.

In the case of this ‘pastor reverend’ fellow well he is just a regular(perhaps self promoting) manipulating pest to his neighbors and the city commission.

After finding out as much as I can about the situation, it seems that the guy wants to turn his property into a Christian commercial enterprise and make a lot of money, while being able to claim to be a tax-free zone.

My father was of the opinion, that all these one horse towns thought they were gods...l many times the town counsels made ridiculous regulation....One corner of my barn is 3 feet past the apron in the driveway...It cost me 250 dollars to get a variance to put up the barn. I think one of the reasons they said yes was because the guy that does checking on new buildings told the counsel due to cat tail bog I could not put it back any farther...he was on my side but some of those on the committee were real assholes by the questions they demanded answers to. It could have been harder if the chief guy that checks new building was not on an ego trip....(Small town nazis)
