    The Planning Commission shall schedule as part of the review a public meeting with the landowners, and shall send by first-class mail a written notice of the meeting and review to all owners of land within the district. The notice shall state the time and place for such meeting; that the district is being reviewed and may be continued, modified, or terminated; and that land may be withdrawn from the district at the owner's discretion by filing a written notice with the Board of Supervisors at any time before such body acts to continue, modify or terminate the district.

    8E-11-4 Actions following review:

    Following review of any district, the Board may, by ordinance, continue, modify, or terminate the District. Whenever a district is reviewed, land may be withdrawn at the owner's discretion by filing a written notice to the Board of Supervisors prior to Board action regarding the district. Failure to submit written notice to withdraw in a timely manner will result in continuation of the district unless the Board excludes property through modification or termination of the district.

    The Board of Supervisors may stipulate conditions to continuation of the district and may establish a period before the next review of the district, which may be different from the conditions or period established when the district was created. Any such different conditions or period shall be described in a notice sent by first-class mail to all landowners in the district and published in a newspaper having a general circulation within the district at least two (2) weeks prior to adoption of the ordinance continuing the district.
