Rodeo venue agritourism special exception at State Line Road
Summary
A long-running rural rodeo venue wants formal county approval to host up to six events a month with beer and wine. Neighbors say the owners broke a 2013 court order for years — selling alcohol, running late, and leaving two riders with life-threatening injuries that delayed emergency response. The county has to sort out how a new special exception interacts with that old court judgment.

Impact analysis
No direct county cost, but enforcement and emergency-response burdens fall on county police, fire and EMS if events grow as proposed.
The Moya family gains a legal framework for their rodeo business, and the regional rodeo community gains a venue.
Nearby residents say they've endured noise, late-night lighting, traffic and safety risks for years and fear expansion from six events a year to six a month.
