Anakowi Paul, I've had a coworking space for 6 years and I started out small in 1,100 ft2. We've since grown and I have some thoughts/stories for you.
You can alter/add terms and agreements whenever. I completely overhauled our terms and values last year after my epic 2nd location fuckup so know that that's an option. Even in really large spaces, a team of even 4 people can begin to sway your culture in ways that may not be beneficial to everyone or your vision for the community (also, your vision may not be aligned with your members' desires). The cultural pull will be greater in a small space like yours. I would recommend a sit down talk with the group that's causing friction and lay out your expectations. My gut tells me it's time for them to go. If a member group offered to buy me out of Cohere, I'd probably want to kick them in the nuts b/c that goes against everything we've all been working towards for 6 years. Short advice: just talk to them.
