357H.4 Hearing on petition — action by board.
1. At the public hearing the board may consider the boundaries of a proposed rural improvement zone, whether the boundaries shall be as described in the petition or otherwise, and for that purpose may amend the petition and change the boundaries of the proposed zone as stated in the petition. The board may adjust the boundaries of a proposed zone as needed to exclude land that has no reasonable likelihood of benefit from inclusion in a rural improvement zone. However, the boundaries of a proposed zone shall not be changed to incorporate property which is not included in the original petition.
2. Within thirty days after the hearing, the board shall establish the rural improvement zone by resolution or disallow the petition. However, the zone shall not include any area which is part of an urban renewal area under chapter 403.
