  § D-5. Withdrawal procedures.  

Latest version.

  • The applicants for each of the agricultural districts established according to section D-1 above agree that in accordance with the Code of Virginia (1950, as amended), a landowner may terminate his relationship with the district by:

    (a)

    Petition and approval of the local governing body upon conducting the required public hearing, and following a recommendation by the planning commission after a required public hearing and upon the advice of the agricultural and forestal district advisory committee;

    (b)

    In the event of denial of the local governing body, by petition to the Circuit Court of Isle of Wight County, Virginia;

    (c)

    By death of the owner and the withdrawal of the property as a matter of right by the heirs or devisees; or

    (d)

    By decision of the local governing body at the time the district is reviewed for renewal.

    The termination of any owners' relationship within a lawfully constituted district shall not serve to terminate the existence of the district. Such district shall continue in effect and be subject to review as to whether it should be terminated, modified or continued in accordance with state law. (Ord. No. 2011-17-C, 9-1-11.)
